    I hate to admit this, but exhaustion is really starting to catch up to me. I was physically at Samantha's volleyball match against Swartz Creek, but mentally I wasn't entirely there. I do know that the girls didn't look good in losing the first set, and I was convinced that they were going to face defeat once again today. They began to prove me wrong, however, rallying to win the second set by a couple of points. They came out strong in the third set, and wound up winning going away, giving them a 2-1 come from behind match victory! Samantha played well for the most part. She looked good on a majority of her serves and her play on the court was generally strong. She had a couple of balls get away from her, as did most of the girls at one point or another, but overall it was a good match for not only her but the rest of the Lady Bronchos as well.
