After an auspicious beginning with several families reporting plus 7 hour drives to Little Rock in the snow and ice, the 13 Elite Metro girls pulled out the W! The ladies performed beautifully on Saturday in pool play going 6 - 0. Today they got through the semi’s without dropping a single game. Upon winning the semi final game we went to watch the end of the game next to us to determine who we would play. Our girls cheered with exuberance for their sister team the Metro 12 Elite, knowing full well if they pulled out the win they would have to play them for the tournament. As hoped for, the final game came down to an all Memphis Metro affair; 12’s vs 13’s. The 13’s, being favored to win, had everything to lose with bragging rights on the line. The 12’s played amazingly in the first game making nearly no errors and digging up every ball that game their way. They won the first game. Mid way through game two it looked bad for our girls as they just could not seem to get a roll going when Mary Beth (MVP) stepped up to serve. She went on a roll helping the 13’s take the lead. Our girls went onto win a nail biter to take them to the tie breaker. Once again the girls showed their mental toughness to pull out the win over a team that just would not give up. We are so proud of all the girls! Way to go 13’s.

PIctures from the weekend are here.
