Bridge City tied the game up at 28 on an Armand kill set up by a Kosh set. Amy Caillouet then knocked home an ace to make it 29-28.

Red Pepper Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 The young lady has a wicked serve. I doubt if I could even get out of the path of one of her intimidating serves. Good Job, Kosh.
