My niece Tashena has been on the Bountiful High School volleyball team this year. She has played on the sophomore team and they had an undefeated season, dominating every opponent. The varsity team had an amazing season as well and this weekend they made made a run for the state championship at Utah Valley University. Throughout the tournament they defeated every opponent in three straight sets to make it to the championship game against Corner Canyon on Saturday night and my family was there for this game. Tashena didn't get to play but she was introduced on the court with the team and it was so exciting. The Braves came out strong and easily defeated the Chargers in the first two sets but the Chargers refused to go down without a fight and gave them some competition in the third set. They had a sizable lead until the Braves powered through to tie it up. It was really exciting to watch as the score went back and forth (I no longer have any fingernails) and just when it seemed that Bountiful had the win with 24 points, Corner Canyon scored twice to bring the score to 24-22. I was a little bit tense at that point but an amazing block by Bountiful won the set to give them the 4A state championship! It was so much fun to watch the team celebrate and I love that Tashena got to be a part of it! Great job Braves!
