On October 15th a long and enduring journey ended as the Lady Bulldogs of Le Jardin Academy lost in second round of the ILH Division Two Playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs the bulldogs emerged victorious over a worthy adversary, Christian Academy, winning in three straight games, 25-12, 25-15, 25-17. The next match however proved to be more challenging as they faced off against number two seed in the state, Word of Life Academy (WOLA). This match was one of the more difficult ones for the girls as they battled point for point never giving up against the bigger and faster WOLA team. Unfortunately for our Lady Bulldogs, this would be the end of their season as WOLA took the match 25-17, 25-17, 25-14.
Throughout the match the crowd helped sway momentum for our team and allowed them to go on runs scoring point after point. During time outs and breaks, the Bulldog fans were thrilled by the musical brilliance of Mr. Lundgren and the LJA Pep Band. After the match was over emotions ran high as the crowd watched the six LJA seniors follow their team mates into the locker room; the last time they would do that as a part of the LJA Volleyball team.
Though their season is over, the seniors will always be a part of the Bulldog Ohana. They will be remembered for their contributions to the team and for how they battled throughout the seasons, dedicated and strong. We are sad for those who are leaving but with the new gymnasium and new found spirit, we look forward to next year and what it will bring for our Varsity Lady Bulldog Volleyball team.
