On December 5th the Tok Wolverines volleyball team traveled down to Glennallen for the Aurora Conference Volleyball Regionals. Their first game they played was against Glennallen. Then they played Kenny Lake and lost unfortunately with scores 19-25, 18-25 and with a mental block in the girls head 12-25.
Then they dropped to the losers bracket and played Tri-Valley and took the game in 3 sets. After that they were in the championship game, against Kenny Lake. In the first set it was a close game but Kenny Lake ended up taking it. Then in the second set Tok won 25-15. The next set was a battle on the court, the score was always tied up or only one point ahead then once the teams got into the 20s Kenny lake won the set.
Kenny Lake had over half the people in the stands cheering for them and Tok only had a few of the girls parents who showed up. In the 4th set of the 5 both teams were ruthless, giving it there all and never giving up, the want of the win from the Lady Wolverines was indescribable.
Candy Therneau said that she has never seen her team want something so bad. The girls gave it there all and tried their hardest but ended up losing after a huge come back of 20-25.
It was an emotional game, it was the last highschool volleyball game for Alexa Peet, Annaliese Therneau and Brittney Alsup. All three of our seniors got all tourney and finished great in the season.
In the end the Tok Wolverines placed 2nd in their region so they are improving from 3rd place last year.
Next year they are bound to take first with hard work and dedication they can accomplish anything.
