So- there they were seated third in their pool and after the first match, they then realized why... Well-that is where they finished on Saturday and though it is not what most teams strive for, Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT were pleasantly delighted based on the talent in their pool. And- they were not out of contention yet. 14 White BT was given a lifeline via a crossover match later Saturday evening. They won in two and everyone witnessed a new team emerging.
The topper to the evening, besides winning, was all of the support from the other white team- 14 White BP, their parents and a surprise visit by a dear friend and guest of coach Brooke Todd, who came to support the girls. Former Willowbrook player and UT Middle Blocker, Jen Doris paid them a visit and cheered the team to victory. She took the time to meet and greet the girls and posed for team pictures afterwards. She was such a sport, she even showed up on Sunday to watch their pool. Great to see such alumnus support!
These girls have come so far and more importantly, they are having a great time. As coach, Brooke said, "We could not have made it so far without help from every single player on this team- These Girls Rock!"
"We didn’t qualify, but, we played hard, fought like champs and learned much from a wonderful weekend of volleyball and bonding and that is all you can ask for!" said coach Todd.
Go Asics Willowbrook 14 White BT!!!!!!
