Warriors avenge Warriors!

“Yes!” Loud shouts ensued from the stands as Nyanbay Puok from the Warriors jump-served the ball and landed on the opponent’s court.

Last Tuesday, the Warriors united against the Falcons of Kansas Christian once more, but this time on the volleyball court. And what a game it was! It was evident that the Warriors came prepared to win. It was long overdue, as the Warriors have suffered several losses and near wins in previous games. 

“Bam!” The ball went over the heads of the Warriors. The referee blew the whistle almost immediately, signaling continuity. The ball had gone outside the court; it didn’t count.

A loud cheer stirred from the fans on the side, “Go, Warriors!”

“I like the style of play today!” Alexandra Seferlis, a fan from the Warriors’ stand, exclaimed as the players formed a tight huddle before resuming the game. The style of play was intriguing and energetic. The tussle continued throughout the game as the Falcons landed a point. The Warriors nevertheless kept pushing and serving. This resilient attitude may have been due to their preparation for adversity or simply because they were currently ahead of the Falcons. The Warriors won the second set of the game, and their first set of the season, 25-15.

The Falcons began clapping as they prepared to serve the ball. The ball caught in the net. It seemed even the net favored home, and home was with the Warriors.

A thunderous shout came from the Warriors and the stands. They were on the verge of bagging a win they had worked so hard for. Third time is the charm, but the third round was the apex for the Warriors. The Falcons, who gained a hand in the second round, still couldn’t measure up to the ferocity of the Warriors.

The last set and fourth set was the tightest of the game. “Bam!” The last serve from Puok went off into the opponent’s court and landed the Warriors a victory. After winning the last three sets, the Warriors won 3-1.
