Restrepo rubbed his big round genie belly, and was granted three wishes, which were:
1. for the Horns to play bad tonight
2. that I get the Red Lobster All-You-Can Eat surf-and-turf buffet for my post-game meal, and
3. for dessert I get a whole wedding cake. With 5 tiers. And a gallon of Ben & Jerry’s “Imagine Whirled Peace” flavor ice cream.
If only he’d been a little more precise, his team would have had a chance. Cause the Horns did play bad, but only for a game.
Then they took care of business.
A short look at the horrendous first set. First, how do you get six more kills than the other team, but still lose 21-25? Um, errors. How about the donation of 7 service errors, 5 attack errors, got aced, got blocked, had bad hands, caught in the net? We gave them 16 freebies, they had nine kills. Uggghhh.
Luckily Restrepo’s jinx wore off, and the Horns did a lot of good things going forward. Ashley and Juliann doubled up, scooping 11 and 18 digs, respectively. POW Destinee led with 19 kills. Pao was unblockable as usual, hitting plus four hundred. And Defensive POW Kisner saved 25 balls from the floor.
We were also treated to intelligent commentary from the legend, Karch Kiraly. He had some nice compliments for the Horns too. He praised Destinee’s athleticism, and Lauren’s fast feet and fast arm swing. He also noted Rachael’s dynamicism, and Ashley’s all around abilities.
A shame we had to let him see that first set, but glad we also showed him the good stuff that we can do, as the last three games were won by -14, -20, and -19.
Restrepo got more and more disheveled as the match went on. First to go was his lovely white sweater, handcrafted with loving care from 18 bales of the finest cotton. As the pounding continued, his tie came loose and his shirttail was awry. One half of the gym was praying he wouldn’t bend over or squat. That wouldn’t be plumber’s crack, it’d be plumber’s crevasse. Some things are not to be seen.
And that goes for the first game, too.
But good job on the turnaround Horns, and congratulations on another tough road win!
