The Lightning Are 13-4 with 3 games left!

Playing in the Thunderdome can be tough on any visiting team as the Lightning have only lost one game at home this year and that was to the No.1 ranked team in the state. Tuesday afternoon Antelope Valley Christian came to visit for an Agape League match that was really not a match at all. Antelope Valley is in a building year with a new coach and some good players that just lack game experience. They were having a very hard time with the Lightning's near perfect serving. They gave up over 20 aces during the match to the Lightning which may be a school record.

The first game started out with Amanda Nelson (#22) getting hot at the serving line and produced 3 aces in a row. Dani Rush (#11)finished the game serving 5 aces in a row for the last 5 points. The game ended 15-3. The 2nd game saw Tonya Carter (#4) getting hot from the serving line with 5 aces and the defense was perfect stopping AVC 15-0! The 3rd game was again a defensive stop for the Lightning as Amanda Nelson and Brianne Jones (#13) both combined for 8 aces and the Lightning won 15-1. The most exciting part of the game was seeing our two freshman players play a great match. Amanda Nelson ended up with 8 aces and 3 Kills and Ashley Vrooman (#12) ended up with 2 aces and 3 kills.

The JV team did not play because Antelope Valley Christian did not field a JV team this year.

The Lightning are now 5-2 in Agape League Play and 13-4 over-all. The Lightning look very good for landing a playoff slot in the C.I.F. playoffs which start in 4 weeks. The Lightning need to win 2 of the last 3 games to be assured a playoff shot. All three of the last three games are away games. So pack up the car and lets get on the road and support our great team!

The Lightning travel to Bethel Christian in Lancaster on Thursday for more Agape League action. The JV game starts at 4:30PM and the Varsity game starts at 5:30PM. For directions click on the "Varsity Schedule" link!
