🏐🔥 NOTHING WAS STOPPING THE TBIRDS TONIGHT! 🔥🏐
The Lady TBirds showed some serious GRIT, ENERGY and HEART tonight, battling their way to an exciting 3–2 VARSITY WIN! ⚡️🏐
It was a back-and-forth fight from the opening serve:
🏐 1st Set — 17–25 Loss
🏐 2nd Set — 25–22 WIN
🏐 3rd Set — 18–25 Loss
🏐 4th Set — 17–14 WIN
🏐 5th Set — 15–13 WIN
Down 2 sets to 1, the TBirds needed to find another gear—and then came something nobody expected.
THE BASKETBALL HOOP BROKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 4TH SET! 😳🏀
The delay could have killed the momentum. It could have taken the energy out of the gym.
NOT THESE GIRLS.
They stayed focused, kept the energy HIGH on the court and from the bench, finished off the fourth set, and then carried that momentum into the deciding fifth to FINISH THE JOB! 3–2! 🔥💪
The JV continues to find its rhythm, battling point-for-point in a heartbreaking 24–26 opening set before Blanding pulled away in the second, 16–25.
The C Team also had a great night, getting everyone valuable court time while taking the first two sets 15–10 and 15–11, before narrowly dropping the third 13–15.
Wins matter—but so does learning how to respond when things don't go according to plan.
Tonight the Lady TBirds showed they can ADJUST. COMPETE. STAY TOGETHER. AND FINISH.
