3rd Degree Girls Finish Second at Regionals

Three Harlan volleyball players compete for a regional title with their 15U Third Degree team. Unfortunately Mary Kaufmann, Danielle Stewart, and Amanda Petersen came home just a little short of the first place trophy. We have an exclusive interview with the libero for the team; Mary Kaufmann.

1. How did you think your team would do going into this tournament?
I knew the teams there would be tough, so I was just hoping that we wouldn’t get get demolished.


2. Was the compatition what you expected it would be?
Not really. I expected girls 6 feet tall, but they seemed to be average teams.


3. What did you feel was the best part of the whole tournament?
Well…during one point, the other teams back-left did an illegal attack in the front row, so I called it for the referee…just in case he didn’t see it.


4. How did you feel going into the last game knowing you could win regionals?
Confident. The team that had beaten us the day before didn’t make it to the campionship, so we thought we had it in the bag.


5. How did you feel after losing?
Dissappointed…we should’ve won it. They didn’t beat us, we beat ourselves.


6. Are you sad the season is over, why or why not>?
No, I’m ready for free weekends again!


7. Do you believe you have improved as the season went on?
I’d like to think so.


8. How many games did you guys play all together?
I don’t know…a million.


9. Do you think we are a better team than the team that ended up beating us in the championship?
I do indeed.
