It was a busy weekend for fall sports with the KHSAA state tournaments winding to a close. Up to bat first on Saturday was Saint Xavier soccer vs. Corbin in Lexington. I am very thankful this game was my first game to cover and that it was still early enough in the evening because I would have completely froze had we needed to stay past dark. Sad part was I had gloves, hat and scarf and somehow I was still freezing. I love outdoor sports, but I am not a happy camper when it comes to the weather playing a huge factor on my comfortability. All I am asking for is a little bit of fall and summer mix – too much?
On deck was the state championship volleyball match between Assumption and Mercy. This I knew was going to be a doozy as soon as I heard they were going head-to-head. Assumption had beaten Mercy two times earlier in the season and I knew Mercy was going to come out fighting. That is exactly what they did. The game started around 8:30 and almost 2.5 hours later – Assumption triumphed and came out champions after claiming the fifth set for the match. It was such a great game between the two that I caught myself not shooting for most of the third and fourth set because I was watching the game. Mercy had nothing to hang their heads about because they fought and they fought hard – they’re going to be an amazing team next season and I cannot wait to see how early they come out swinging to prove that to their opponents.
