KFDM COOP Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Lady Cards show heart through playoffsGabriel PruettThe Orange LeaderBRIDGE CITY — The volleyball season could not be going any more perfect for the Bridge City Lady Cardinals these days.It was just a year ago the Lady Cardinals found themselves ousted in the bi-district round and heading home in an upset loss to the Liberty Lady Panthers.Now after Tuesday’s amazing victory over the Bellville Brahmanettes, the Lady Cardinals are headed to Bryan this weekend and the Region III tournament.All this was set up by a tie-breaking, five-game win over the Silsbee Lady Tigers when the two teams finished with identical 13-1 marks in District 21-3A.Bridge City then had the bi-district round off before taking down La Grange in five games last week.Tuesday’s win was maybe the most impressive win of the year for the Lady Cardinals.They lost Game 1 25-17 and had to pull out all the stops in Game 2 to win 26-24.Game 3 was the turning point even though Bellville pulled out a 25-17 victory.When a team is down 23-9 and already on their way to a 2-1 deficit in the match, it is easy to give in and quit.Not a chance with the Lady Cardinals.They fought tooth-and-nail with Bellville and came all the way back to only lose by eight.It set up what would be spectacular wins in Games 4 and 5.When Game 5 ended when Sam West denied Bellville’s Precious Sanders of a kill with a block, the Lady Cardinals had every reason to cry their eyes out along with Coach Becca Mathews and her staff.These Lady Cardinals are making their run on their legs which never tire.In Game 5’s they are confident they can outlast their opponents.No matter what happens in Bryan, this season was a dream season in Bridge City.Each girl has brought in a talent which has made this all possible.Leading the way are four seniors who are the nucleaus of it all.Audrey Myers is there for the power, Lauren Angelle brings a terrific all-around game, Jenna Angelle can dig any hitter around and Kayla Fullerton is the perfect compliment to Myers with a tough, left-handed shot of her own.The Lady Cardinals have already done more than what many expected them to do this season and now they are headed to Bryan to accomplish even more.But if you hear they are down early in a match this season just remember, they are never out of it and could end up surprising the city of Bridge City once again.
