Just a quick update...
Last week FRC Volleyball had a busy three days!! On Thursday we played Gavilan College and Taft College in the Gavilan Classic. We beat both Gavilan and Taft in 4. Many different players stepped on the court as we were trying to find combinations of players that meshed well. Friday we faced Foothill College and Santa Rosa College (both finished ranked in the top 15 in the state; Santa Rosa-6th and Foothill-13th). We lost to both Foothill and Santa Rosa in 3. Again, many players got valuable playing time. On Saturday we faced Sacramento City College (finished 5th in the state last year) and Fresno City College (finished 14th in the state last year). We lost to Sac City in 3 games and went 4 with Fresno City.
Overall it was a good weekend; we took a lot from it, got the girls some court time and learned that when it comes down to it, we are capable of beating everyone of the teams we faced this weekend.
Off to Stockton for the Delta Tournament this weekend....
Since restarting in 2006, the current Feather River College Volleyball Team is a sixth year program which made an Elite-8 appearance at the State Tournament in 2008. In addition to this accomplishment, the program has made an appearance in the state playoffs the past three years. It also boasts a 100% matriculation rate on to a 4 year school, and in the 4 years Sarah Ritchie has been at the helm of the program, she has helped 14 student-athletes earn athletic scholarships to a 4-year school.
