BY TAYLOR MITCHELLTMITCELL@VICAD.COM

SAN ANTONIO – Just three weeks ago, the St.Joseph volleyball team was involved in a seriousaccident thatsawtheirbusrolloverwiththeteaminside of it.

Nobody was seriously injured in the crash, butthere was an emotional impact on the team thatbrought them even closer together and made

them stronger as a team.The Lady Flyers took that team unity

all the way to the TAPPS Class 4A statechampionship game for the first time inschool history Saturday morning wherethey squared off against ArlingtonGrace Prep.

Leading 20-17 in the fourth game,Grace Prep scored five unansweredpoints to win the state title, 25-16, 25-12,23-25,25-17,denyingtheLadyFlyerstheperfect ending to a season that had fea-tured many ups and downs.

“We came out a little nervous. It’s astate title game, though and you’re going to be alittle nervous,” said senior Carly Boles. “We triedto use those nerves to our advantage, but thosefirst two games didn’t come out in our favor.

“A lot of it was mental. We are definitely a strongteam,” said St. Joseph coach Allyson Griffin.“They were very good. It just took us awhile, men-tally, to show up. In the end it took a little toolong.”

Blaschke making themost of time at Trinity

Mason Blaschke is not the only quarter-back who studies the night before a game.

But more often than not Blaschke hashis nose buried a textbook as well asa playbook.

“The coaches encourage you totake your books on the road,”Blaschke said. “One time I wasstudying for a test on the Friday be-fore a game.”

Blaschke, 20, knew he would spendas much or more time on academicsas athletics when he made the deci-sion to attend Trinity University af-ter his senior year at Cuero.

The NCAA Division III school in San An-tonio does not give athletic scholarshipsand requires its students to live on cam-pus for six semesters.

The football team does not practice on

Monday and works out in pads threedays a week.

Trinity plays its home games on cam-pus and rarely draws more than400 to 500 fans, a crowd muchsmaller than he played before inCuero.

“It’s definitely something youhave to adjust to,” Blaschke said.“They really stress your school-work and grades, but they giveyou a lot of help.”

Blaschke has excelled on thefield and in the classroom duringhis sophomore season.

He has maintained a 3.0 grade-point-av-erage while twice earning Southern Col-legiate Athletic Conference player of the

BRONCOS (4-3)AT BENGALS (3-4)

LINE: Broncos by 3½; Over/Under:47½TIME: noonWho would have thought this Week 9matchup would have been an intriguinggame before the season started? You’llhear TV analyst Dan Dierdorf (yawn!) waxpoetic about Broncos QB Peyton Manning,who leads the NFL with a 109.0 QB rating.Manning is also 7-0 all-time vs. Cincinnati.But I think this one comes down to defense.The Bengals’ ‘D’ is tied for third in the NFLand leads the AFC with 23 sacks. BengalsDT Geno Atkins has seven sacks this sea-son and 14 ½ sacks since last season. Un-derdogs are 71-44-3 ATS (62 percent).THE PICK: Bengals

CARDINALS (4-4)AT PACKERS (5-3)

LINE: Packers by 11; O/U: 43 ½TIME: noonTwo teams headed in opposite directions.Arizona has dropped four straight after asurprising 4-0 start. If they ever get a legit-imate QB, they’d be a contender. Green Bay,meanwhile, has won three straight. For thesecond straight week, the Pack is a big fa-vorite at home. They’re 14-5-1 ATS com-bined at home in the months of Novemberand December dating to 2007.THE PICK: Packers

BEARS (6-1)AT TITANS (3-5)

LINE: Bears by 3 ½; O/U: 43 ½TIME: noonChicago’s defense has been downrightridiculous. Led by CBs Tim Jennings andCharles Tillman, the Bears have returnedsix interceptions for touchdowns (the kidscall them “Pick-6’s”), the most of any teamin NFL history through seven games. TitansRB Chris Johnson has played well of late,but the Bears’ run defense is No. 1 in theNFL (77.9 yards per game, 1 TD).THE PICK: Bears

DOLPHINS (4-3)AT COLTS (4-3)

LINE: Dolphins by 2; O/U: 43TIME: noonIf the playoffs started today, Miami and In-dy would be in. How many of you thoughtthat would happen? Who could’ve predict-ed the answer to this question, too: Who isleading the NFL in receiving yards? ColtsWR Reggie Wayne, who is enjoying a re-naissance season with 757 yards. QB MattMoore might have to start for Miami. In aclose one, I’ll take the home underdog.THE PICK: Colts

BILLS (3-4)AT TEXANS (6-1)

LINE: Texans by 10; O/U: 47 ½TIME: noonI continue to beat the drum for Texans DEJ.J. Watt as MVP. He leads the NFL in sacks(9 ½) and is a must-watch on every play.Houston has yet to allow a rushing TD. Iusually stay away from picking double-digitfavorites, but I like the Texans, who havecovered five of their last six when favoredby eight or more points.THE PICK: Texans

LIONS (3-4)AT JAGUARS (1-6)

LINE: Lions by 4; O/U: 44TIME: noonThe Lions have covered three straight afterstarting the season 0-4 ATS. The Jags areone of five home underdogs in Week 9.Home ’dogs are 23-18 ATS this season.Worth a shot.THE PICK: Jaguars

RAVENS (5-2)AT BROWNS (2-6)

LINE: Ravens by 3 ½; O/U: 42 ½TIME: noonThe Browns are a sneaky 4-3-1 ATS thisseason. They’re also 5-0-1 ATS in their lastsix games vs. AFC North foes. Conversely,

the Ravens are one of the worst ATS (2-5)teams this season. Their defense is bangedup, but Baltimore, coming off its bye week,should be well prepared for Browns rookiesTrent Richardson and Brandon Weeden(624 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT last 3 games).THE PICK: Ravens

PANTHERS (1-6)AT REDSKINS (3-5)

LINE: Redskins by 3 ½; O/U: 46 ½TIME: noonI was surprised by the Redskins’ effort lastweek vs. Pittsburgh — 10 dropped passesdidn’t help Robert Griffin III. He remindsme of another young, talented, athletic QB:Cam Newton. He’s in a sophomore slumpafter taking the NFL by storm last season.Newton and the Panthers came within awhisker of beating the Bears last week. Vis-iting ’dogs are 48-26-3 ATS this season.THE PICK: Panthers

BUCCANEERS (3-4)AT RAIDERS (3-4)

LINE: Raiders by 1 ½; O/U: 46TIME: 3:05 p.m.This is a battle of two of the NFL’s coolestlogos. Call it the Pirate Bowl. You knowwho’s been a treasure this season? Bucsrookie back Doug Martin, the only NFCplayer with more than 500 yards rushingand 200 yards receiving.THE PICK: Buccaneers

VIKINGS (5-3)AT SEAHAWKS (4-4)

LINE: Seahawks by 5; O/U: 38 ½TIME: 3:05 p.m.There are certain teams that have vexed methe last few seasons — and caused mygray hair to turn white. Seattle is one ofthem. It’s as simple as this: When Seattle isthe visiting team, pick against them; whenSeattle is home, pick them. The Seagullshave covered six straight home games, andare 15-5 ATS in their last 20 home contests.THE PICK: Seahawks

STEELERS (4-3)AT GIANTS (6-2)

LINE: Giants by 3 ½; O/U: 47 ½TIME: 3:25 p.m.The chatter all week has been about the2004 NFL draft that produced Eli Manningas the No. 1 pick and Ben Roethlisberger asthe No. 11 pick. Who’s better? They bothhave a pair of Super Bowl rings, so time willtell. Let’s focus on the game. The Giantslook to start the second half strong afteranother 6-2 start. They’re 4-1-1 against thespread (ATS) in their last six games overall,and are also 4-1-1 ATS in their last sixgames as a favorite of four or less points.THE PICK: Giants

COWBOYS (3-4)AT FALCONS (7-0)

LINE: Falcons by 4; O/U: 47 ½Time: 7:20 p.m.It’s funny how sports work. If Dez Bryant’sfingertips land inbounds, we’re all blastingthe Giants for blowing a 23-0 lead andpraising the Cowboys for an amazingcomeback. But we know how things ended.I loved Atlanta vs. Philly last week, but nothere. Dallas has covered eight of its lastnine vs. NFC South opponents dating to2008 and is the more desperate team.THE PICK: Cowboys

MONDAY NIGHTEAGLES (3-4)AT SAINTS (2-5)

LINE: Saints by 3; O/U: 52Time: 7:30 p.m.What else is new? Talk in Philly is whetherQB Michael Vick should be benched. Ifthere’s any week for him to have a breakoutgame, this is it against the NFL’s worst de-fense. Eagles can’t let Drew Brees pickthem apart the way Matt Ryan did last week.THE PICK: Eagles

Coaches, front office have faith in Romo

FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM

IRVING – By most generally ac-cepted standards, Dallas Cowboysquarterback Tony Romo is havinga horrible season.

With 15 turnovers – a league-high13 interceptions and two fumbles –he has seemingly regressed fromlast season’s career-best touch-down-to-interception ratio of 31-10to the reckless “Tony Oh No” waysof his younger years.

But if you listen to the talk com-ing out of the Cowboys’ ValleyRanch headquarters, the spin isquite different and decidedly moreRomo-friendly.

Coach Jason Garrett readily ac-knowledges that turnovers are the

single-biggest reason for theteam’s 3-4 record heading into Sun-day’s must-win game against theundefeated Atlanta Falcons (7-0).

Yet, he said the problem is muchbigger and deeper than Romo,while going into great detail onhow his maligned quarterback isstill making good decisions withthe football and a great majority ofthe interceptions this season werebecause of poor routes or break-downs in other areas.

Garrett pointed out that the firsttwo of his four interceptions in the29-24 loss to the New York Giants onSunday were because of a bad routeby Dez Bryant and failure to make aplay on the ball by Miles Austin. Theother two were great plays by theGiants’ defense rather than badones by Romo, Garrett said.

Likewise, vice president StephenJones said his confidence in Romoremains very high – so much so

that he remains focused on signingthe 10-year veteran to a contractextension to ensure that he retiresas a member of the Cowboys.

Jones has begun preliminary ne-gotiations with Romo’s represen-tatives in hopes of getting a newdeal done before his contract ex-pires at the end of next season.

“We still feel that way,” Jonessaid. “We’ve got a lot of confidencein Tony. Tony has a lot of confi-dence in himself. He is going to befine. He is not the problem.”

Jones said Romo is over-scruti-nized because of the high-profilenature of the position in Dallas andthe championship quarterbacksbefore him.

Jones said Romo has pulled out ofbad stretches before and will again,and evoked comparisons to SuperBowl champions John Elway andBrett Favre, who had disappointingturns early in their careers.

QB has committed 15turnovers, but outlookfrom team is sunny

DANIELS SOLID SEASON GIVESTEXANS ANOTHER THREAT

HOUSTON (AP) – Last season,Owen Daniels thought he had fi-nally returned to the player hewas before tearing a knee liga-ment in 2009.

After comparing film from thenand now, the Houston Texanstight end realizes he wasn’t quitethere yet.

“I can look on film and tell adifference with the way I’m mov-ing this year compared to lastyear,” he said. “I could probablyshow anybody and they couldprobably recognize it. So that’swhat I like seeing. I’m excited tosee that, and hopefully I can con-tinue to look like that and con-tinue to move around well.”

Now that he really has returned

to form, Daniels has re-emergedas of the top tight ends in theNFL, and gives the Texans’ pow-erful offense another threat.

“He’s playing right now as goodas I’ve ever seen him play sincehe’s been with me, and he’splayed pretty darn good in thepast,” Houston coach Gary Ku-biak said. “Hopefully – we keepour fingers crossed here – hestays healthy. He’s on his way to abig year.”

Daniels made the Pro Bowl in2008 after catching 70 passes fora career-high 862 yards. He had519 yards receiving and ateam-leading five touchdowns in2009 before injuring the anteriorcruciate ligament in his rightknee in the eighth game of theseason.

He was progressing well in hisrehabilitation from that injurybefore doctors discovered astress fracture in his right

kneecap, which slowed hisprogress. He returned to play 11games in 2010, but his 471 yardsreceiving were the fewest he’dhad since finishing with 352 as arookie in 2006.

Daniels started 15 games andhad 677 yards receiving a yearago.

“I know I felt pretty good attimes last season,” Daniels said.“I felt like I was wearing downtoward the end of the season, butsometime during last season Ifelt pretty good and felt more ex-plosive. Definitely this offseasonwith what I was doing, I felt really,really good.”

That good offseason work hascarried over into the seasonwhere he is fourth in the NFLamong tight ends with 416 yardsreceiving and four touchdowns.His work has led some to com-pare this season to his Pro Bowlyear of 2008.

Tight end is having acareer year, helpingHouston to 6-1 record

week honors.Blaschke has rushed for a

team-leading 603 yards and10 touchdowns and passedfor 868 yards and seventouchdowns.

“I’m a lot more confidentthan last year,” Blaschkesaid. “I was at defensive backfor the first four days of prac-tice last year so I missed thebasics of the offense. I under-stand the concepts of the of-fense a whole lot better.”

Blaschke played quarter-back his senior season atCuero and led the Gobblersto the 2010 Class 3A, DivisionI area playoffs.

He originally planned toplay defensive back at Trinitybefore changing his mind inthe first week of practice.

“I was a defensive back formaybe 3-4 days,” he said. “Imoved over a became thesecond-string quarterback. Ijust felt more comfortable atquarterback and wanted todo it again.”

Blaschke saw limited actionlast season getting eight car-ries for 106 yards and twotouchdowns, and completing9 of his 12 passes for 100

yards and two touchdowns.He was used mostly as a

running quarterback earlierthis season and the team in-stalled a Wildcat package forBlaschke, which it calls theGobbler package for obviousreasons.

Blaschke’s playing timeand production increased af-ter strarter Nyk McKissicsuffered a concussion.

Blaschke’s progress hascome as no surprise to Jer-heme Urban.

Urban, a Stroman gradu-ate, played wide receiver atTrinity before going on to theNFL and is currently coach-ing the team’s defensivebacks.

“He’s one of those supercompetitive athletes, but youlook at him and he’s like thecalm before the storm,” Ur-ban said. “He has a great im-pact on the game. He’s thetype of athlete where youhave to have two guys ac-count for him. He opens uplanes for the running gameand he can also throw theball. He’s extremely fast andvery elusive.”

Blaschke was at his best inlast week’s 35-24 win overMillsaps, which gave the

Tigers their second consecu-tive league title.

Blaschke completed 14 of19 passes for 188 yards andtwo touchdowns and rushed23 times for 221 yards andtwo touchdowns.

Blaschke became the firstTrinity player since Shinergraduate Chris Baer in 2009to run for more than 200yards in a game and set aschool record for rushingyards by a quarterback.

“I thought Mason played anexceptional game both fromhis decision making to hisability to make plays with hisathleticism,” said Trinityhead coach Steve Mohr. “Itappears the Tigers havetheir own version of ‘JohnnyFootball.’”

Blaschke had another out-standing performance in Sat-urday’s 48-7 road win overSewanee.

Blaschke passed for 163yards and one touchdownand rushed for 56 yards andtwo touchdowns.

Blaschke is looking forwardto his next two years at Trin-ity and for what’s in store af-ter he graduates.

“It shows your love of thegame and you’re thinking

about the future,” Blaschkesaid. “Getting a Trinity de-gree gives you a lot of con-nections when you get out ofschool.”

ASSOCIATED PRESSTexas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel looks for an open receiver during the first quarter of Saturday’s game.

MANZIEL, TEXAS A&MSHRED MISSISSIPPI STATE

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP)– Johnny Manziel and theTexas A&M Aggies shred-ded another SoutheasternConference defense.

The redshirt freshmanpicked apart MississippiState by completing 30 of 36passes for 311 yards anddanced around the No. 17Bulldogs for 129 yards rush-ing and two touchdowns,leading the 16th-ranked Ag-gies to a 38-13 victory onSaturday.

A relative unknown beforethe season, Manziel is post-

ing consistently terrific per-formances that are startingto generate whispers ofHeisman Trophy considera-tion. He has certainly beenthe unquestioned star forthe upstart Aggies.

“He has a green light tomake plays, some impro-vised, some called,” TexasA&M first-year coach KevinSumlin said.

He made those plays inbunches against the Bull-dogs.

Maybe the most impres-sive was a 37-yard touch-down run midway throughthe second quarter thatpushed the Aggies’ lead to21-0. The 6-foot-1,200-pound Manziel rolledright, and when he didn’tsee an open receiver,weaved around multiple

Mississippi State defenderson his way to the end zone.

Sumlin admitted the Ag-gies are still adjusting totheir quarterback’s uncan-ny playmaking ability.

It’s a good problem tohave.

“We’re lucky to have him,”running back Ben Malenasaid. “The play is neverover. You’ve got to stay inthe play and try to help himout any way you can.”

Texas A&M (7-2, 4-2 SEC)has won all five of its roadgames this season. Chris-tine Michael ran for 50yards and two touchdowns,and Ryan Swope caughtnine passes for 121 yards.

The Aggies’ quick-tempooffense ran 97 plays andgained 693 total yards. Mis-sissippi State had just 310

yards.“That’s as bad of a perfor-

mance as I think we’ve hadhere,” Mississippi Statecoach Dan Mullen said.

Tyler Russell completed19 of 30 passes for 212 yards,with one touchdown andone interception for Missis-sippi State (7-2, 3-2), whichhas lost two in a row.

Mississippi State’s de-fense had been one of thebest in the SEC this season– especially in the sec-ondary – but was blitzedearly and often by the Ag-gies’ unpredictable offense.

Manziel completed mostlyshort passes in the first half,but hit on a few long ones.When the Bulldogs droppedtoo far back into pass cover-age, the speedy freshmangained yards with his feet.

TCU edges WestVirginia in double OT

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.(AP) – Despite a disappoint-ing debut season in the Big12, TCU is turning out to bepretty tough on the road.

Corey Fuller caught a25-yard touchdown pass andTrevone Boykin threw toJosh Boyce for the 2-pointconversion, lifting TCU to a39-38 double overtime winover No. 23 West Virginia onSaturday night.

In becoming bowl eligible,TCU (6-3, 3-3 Big 12)snapped a two-game losingstreak and improved to 3-1on the road in the confer-ence despite having a fresh-man-laden team.

“We have to just keepgrowing up and getting bet-ter,” TCU coach Gary Pat-terson said. “Anytime you goon the road and get a win,it’s a positive.”

It left fellow Big 12 new-comer West Virginia (5-3,2-3) with a three-game los-ing streak for the first timesince the end of the 2004season and two straightlosses at home for the firsttime since 2003.

The mood in the West Vir-ginia locker room afterwardwas subdued – “a lot of dis-appointment,” said WestVirginia linebacker IsaiahBruce.

URBAN STILL WAITINGJerheme Urban is training from 8 to 10hours a week in case a NFL team needs hisservices. Urban played nine seasons in theNFL as a wide receiver and special teamsplayer and is currently working as anassistant coach at Trinity, his almamater.Urban said he will wait until the end of theseason before deciding whether to file hisretirement papers with the league.Urban plans to hold his annual football camp in Victoria thissummer.

Ash comes upbig as Texasupends Tech

LUBBOCK (AP) – Texascoach Mack Brown finallygot a glimpse of the team he’slooked for all season.

“I thought it was the bestteam win we’ve had all year,”Brown said. “Defense playedso hard and so well and cameup with the blocked field goalat the end.”

David Ash threw for threetouchdowns and 264 yards tolead Texas to its fourth roadwin of the season, 31-22against No. 20 Texas Tech onSaturday.

“I’m really proud of Davidtoday,” Brown said. “Hecame back and played a real-ly good football game. Noturnovers on offense,again.”

Mike Davis had a ca-reer-high 165 yards and a ca-reer-best two touchdowns onfour catches, one a 75-yarderfrom Ash in the second quar-ter for the Longhorns (7-2,4-2 Big 12). It was the third

straight win for theLonghorns and keeps themalive in the Big 12 race.

“’’If you look back Mikemakes the big catch at Okla-homa State, Kansas lastweek and then he makes thebig catch today,” Brown said.“I think we’re seeing him dothis week-in and week-out.”

Ash agreed with Brown onthe team coming together inthe win.

“Each win gets us in a bet-ter bowl and really, the goal is’every week get better,’” hesaid. “If we keep improvingwe’ve got a chance.”

Seth Doege completed 26 of44 passes for 329 yards forone touchdown for TexasTech (6-3, 3-3).

Freshman Johnathan Graygot his second straight100-yard rushing game forTexas, with 106 yards on 20carries.

Penalties hurt Texas Tech,including a touchdown beingcalled back in the fourthquarter for holding.

Once in the red zone, theRed Raiders had trouble get-ting touchdowns. They set-tled for field goals tries fourtimes.

Texas Tech coach Tommy

Tuberville said the RedRaiders got in their own way.

“We shot ourselves in thefoot,” he said. “Made toomany mistakes against agood football team. The lasttwo weeks we’ve done that,so hopefully we can correctthat.”

Ash found Davis twice forbig gains in the first half,once on a deep post route fora 54-yard gain to the RedRaiders 2. Joe Bergeronscored on the next play from

2 yards out to put theLonghorns up 14-7.

On the first play of the’Horns next possession, Ashhit Davis again on a deeproute over the middle and heran it in for a 75-yard touch-down to put Texas up 21-10.

Texas Tech was down threedefensive backs to injuries –Cornelius Douglas, Tre’Porter and Jarvis Phillips –and Ash didn’t let up on theirbackups. He completed 11 of19 passes.

The Lady Lions (39-6) wonthefirst twogamesattheBlos-som Athletic Center. St.Joseph (34-6) was able to keeppace with Grace Prep in thefirst game, trailing by just onepoint. However, Grace Prepfinished the first game on an11-3 run.

“They had two very stronghitters, and we tried to containthem,” Griffin said. “Our de-fensewasn’tasstrongasitwasyesterday.”

Game 2 was dominated bytheLadyLions,whotooka14-4lead that was built off of sev-eral St. Joseph errors. Thesecond game would come toan end when Boles hit the ballout of bounds.

“Just thinking about how farwe’ve come and what we’vebeen through, we weren’t go-ing to give it up in threegames,” Boles said. “We weregoing to fight back.”

Needing a win in Game 3 tokeep their season, and cham-pionship,hopesalive,theLadyFlyers struggled to take thelead despite being behind byjust a few points. They wouldtake their first lead since thefirst point of game two when ablock attempt by Grace Prepwas tipped out of bounds.

Withaslim20-19lead, theLa-dy Flyers and Lions tradedpoints until St. Joseph pulledahead for a 25-23 game threewin.

“It was a huge battle,” Ybar-bo said. “I just wish wewould’ve fought a little more.”

Grace Prep pulled away tostartthefourthgamewitha5-2lead,butSt.Josephnevergaveup and fought back to tie thegame at 12-12. One point laterthe Lady Flyers took the lead.Unfortunately, it would be thelast time they'd hold the lead.

“We really wanted to win it,but everything happens for areason,” senior Analise Ybar-bo said. “I’m just glad we madeit this far and with a team Ilove. I couldn’t happier.”

SINTON — The match waspurring along, until the teamacross the net turned its in-experience into ignorance to-ward the situation.

Yorktown’s volleyball teamrefocused in time to put awaya youthful London team25-12, 25-20, 25-18 on Satur-day afternoon.

Yorktown (24-9) moves on tothe regional quarterfinalswhere they will play San Per-lita, the District 32-1A cham-pions, at a time, date andplace to be determined.

Sam Niemeier led the KittyKats with 11 kills while fresh-man middle blocker EmilyGwosdz added another sevenkills. Setter Victoria Penaprovided 24 assists.

Senior Ashlynn Sieversadded six kills. However, herbigger role on the day mayhave been communicatingwith her teammates duringpoints and keeping their spir-its up as London threatenedin the final two games.

“All year, we struggled withcoming out strong,” saidYorktown coach Deirdre

Alexander. “We were reallyexcited about the first gamebecause usually we don’tcome out that strong.

“When we went into thesecond game, maybe we gota little relaxed, and really westruggled with serve-receive.They had hard serves and weput some of our younger kidsin for a second.”

Yorktown never trailed inthe first game. The Kitty Katsheld a 16-9 lead at one stretchof the second game, beforethe Lady Pirates won ninestraight points to stun theDistrict 30-1A champions.

London took a brief 17-16lead when it hit a free ball tothe back row of the Yorktowndefense. The Kitty Katsthought the ball would golong — it didn’t.

Yorktown quickly retook thelead on a Niemeier kill and aSievers ace. The Kitty Katswon the final five points ofGame 2 with strong serving,pinpoint offense and an occa-sional error from the LadyPirates.

London (16-13) did not haveupperclassmen. Of the ninegirls who took the court Sat-urday, seven were freshmen.Allie Orta and Mary KateWilliams were sophomores.Head coach

Melinda Horton said theschool is continuing to growand the Lady Pirates willhave a junior class next year,

before graduating its first se-niors in 2015.

Horton compared the play-offs to chocolate. Not a box ofchocolate, but the sweet stuffitself.

“I’m hoping we can carrythis far. I think those aresome of the things we areharping on with the kids,”Horton said. “You tasted it.You liked it. Now, get hungryfor it. Once you’ve had choco-late you don’t want to let it go.It’s kind of the same concept.We’ve had a taste and wewant more. They know un-derstand what’s out there.”

Yorktown has made theplayoffs for 19 straight years,but the Kitty Kats did nothave a decided advantage inexperience. Sievers andCaitlin Seifert — 1 kill, 1 block— are the only seniors on theteam.

Rather than relying on ex-perience to propel them tothe regional quarterfinals forthe eighth straight year, theKitty Kats went back to ba-sics.

“Once we called a time outand told the kids ‘the reasonyou got here was because offundamentals and being dis-ciplined enough to do it cor-rectly,’” Alexander said aboutthe second game. “We re-minded them not to freak outand have nerves. We remind-ed them to play how you al-ways play.”
