Congratulations to our Boys 18 team for winning the U18 regional championship this past Saturday, 9 June 2007, at Lindbergh High School in Renton! In a four-team pool, Power Surge Boys 18 met the dominating Spaceneedle 18s in the finals and barely squeaked out a win in the third game, 15-11. To commemorate their win, they each received a Puget Sound Region t-shirt. Well done gentlemen!!!
This 2007 season was our first year to try to field a boys team. At our tryout in March 2007, it was a struggle trying to get a team together. However, as word got out that we were putting together a boy's team, we steadily picked up enough players to eventually field two boys teams - a U18 and a U16 team. Although the region didn't have anywhere near the number of boys teams as they did girl's teams, both of our teams have improved over the very short season and done well at each of their tournaments.
Congratulations to both teams for a successful season and hope to see all our elligible returning players again next year. Next year we hope to have our boy's tryouts earlier in the season, probably around the same time the girls start their tryouts. Please check our website for the latest information. Tryouts next year will most likely be in November 2007.
Something to keep in mind....to get more quality matches against other boy's teams, we need to travel outside Washington state to California, Canada, and/or Hawaii. That can be very expensive. We will do some fundraisers over the summer to raise money for our traveling expenses next year. Stay tuned for fundraising events.

Congratulations to all four of our teams who were accepted to play in the Emerald City Classic (ECC) held on the beautiful campus of the University of Washington during Memorial Day weekend, 26-28 May 2007. Our 4 teams were...
Power Surge 18 - U18 Club Division, 3rd in Silver, 11th Overall
Power Surge 16 Black (Mostly 15-1s), U16 Club Division, 5th in Gold
Power Surge 14 Black - U14 Open Division, 4th in Gold
Power Surge Boys 15s (Combined w/Spaceneedle 15s)
Every year it gets more and more difficult to get into the ECC, as the competition gets tougher. But every year our teams get tougher too, and as a result, all four of our teams were accepted and honored to participate in the 2007 ECC. Congratulations ladies and gentlemen for your outstanding representation!!!
All of our teams did such a great job in this very competitive tournament. However, our 14-1 team was the only team that qualified for the Open division. They did an outstanding job finishing tied for 3rd in the gold division, but final standing was 4th because of their seed entering bracket play. What is especially worth noting is the fact that our 14-1 team was the highest finishing U14 team from our region, the Puget Sound Region!!! All the top U14 teams from our region were entered in this tournament as well but none of them finished higher than our 14-1s. The top three teams were all from out of state.
To top it all off, Kaitlyn Molloy was selected as a member of the All-Tournament team. Congratulations 14-1s and congrats to Kaitlyn Molloy. Well done ladies!
Power Surge 18 - U18 Club Division, 3rd in Silver, 11th Overall
Power Surge 16 Black (Mostly 15-1s), U16 Club Division, 5th in Gold
Power Surge 14 Black - U14 Open Division, 4th in Gold
Power Surge Boys 15s (Combined w/Spaceneedle 15s)

12-1s Win 2007 U12 Regional Gold Championship!!!

Just when you think it couldn't get any better for our 12-1 team, they win regionals! How they did it, is a story made for the movies. If Steven Spielberg was to look for a script that had a great story line about a team overcoming such adversity in team competition, he would find it in our 12-1s' win this past weekend at regionals. But even Steven Spielberg couldn't write a more perfect ending to a team's season.
Our 12-1s started off the tournament as the overall number two seed, a ranking they earned after winning the last of four PSR Ranking league tournaments two weeks prior. Had the season ended two weeks ago after that win, it would have been more than enough and everyone would have been happy and satisfied with having a successful season. But of course, the 12-1s just couldn't leave well enough alone.
As the number one seed in Pool B, a 3-team pool, our 12-1s had a very slow start against the number three seed, Sudden Impact, losing one of three games to them. Serving plagued our 12-1s all morning. But this is regionals, and most matches should be decided in a third game. After officiating the second match, our 12-1s returned to play the final pool match against the number two seed, Oly 12-2. And like the first match, our 12-1s lost the second game and just barely squeaked out a third game win to maintain their number one seed in Pool B.
However, after pool play, as we all know, the real tournament begins and our 12-1s were hoping things would turn out better for them after experiencing a slow morning. After a first round bye, Power Surge 12 Black easily win their first match against Rain City to face UPVBC 12 Jeff in the semifinals. And that's where the "real" fun began. Power Surge 12 Black led almost the entire first game until UPVBC picked up their game at the very end to win the first game 25-23. Serving again plagued our 12-1s as server after server would miss their serves by taking too much unnecessary risks. When the game is very tight and both sides are very nervous, we don't need to be going for aces. The smart thing to do is to keep our serves in and keep the pressure on the other team, especially when you're ahead.
After losing the first game to UPVBC, the second game was a disaster. Falling behind 2:10 then 8:19, it appeared the end was upon our 12-1s. Then Maya, serves a string of tough serves, most are aces, and breathes some hope into our 12-1s. But still a long ways back, 12 Black battles back to 20:24 then finally to win at 26-24. They come back to win the third game 15-11 to advance to the finals.
In the finals they meet their nemesis, Oly 12-1. Our 12-1s have never beaten this team all season long and Oly 12-1 is well rested as their semifinal match finished a lot earlier than ours did. With no time to recover, our 12-1s immediately take the court to battle Oly 12-1 for the U12 Regional Championship. Coming back from the "dead" in the previous match and against Oly 12-2 in pool play must have triggered that "killer instinct" in our 12-1s. Power Surge 12 Black took charge of the first game and ran up the points so quickly, Oly was still in shock before they realized the first game was over and our 12-1s had won 25-15.
But our 12-1s have been in this situation before against Oly 12-1 and ended up losing the next two games. Oly 12-1, now fully awake and ready to go to work, put up a great fight in the second game but fall just a little short 23-25.
Power Surge 12 Black couldn't have experienced a more perfect ending to their season. If you're going to finally beat a team you have lost to all season long, the time to do it is in the regional finals, the last match of the season. And, out of the four PSR Ranking League tournaments, the one to win is the last one of the season. Amazingly, our 12-1s accomplished both in one incredible, unforgettable, 2007 season. Well done ladies!

12-1s Win Final 2007 PSR Ranking League Gold Championship!

After finishing 6th, 2nd, and 3rd in previous PSR Ranking League tournaments, Power Surge 12 Black saves their best effort for the final of four ranking league tournaments to capture 1st place. As the overall third seed coming into this tournament on Saturday 7 April 2007 at Columbia JH in Fife, Power Surge 12 Black started off ranked second in their pool and remained at a disappointing second in pool. However, feeling a little down after pool play but definitely not out, our 12-1s re-focus their efforts and determine to make some history. Facing the UPVBC 12s, Power Surge quickly dispatches them in two straight sets, sending the 2007 U12 Prime Time winners to contend for 3rd. In the other semi-final match, Puget Sound wins a very close 3rd game against Olympia to earn a spot in the finals. But that close 3rd game win proved to be the final highlight for Puget Sound 12, as our 12-1s overpower and overwhelm Puget Sound in two straight games, 25-17 and 25-15. Puget Sound could never get into any kind of rhythm or sustain any kind of momentum against our 12-1s as our 12-1s held the lead almost the entire time in both games. As a result of this win, each player received a sweatshirt from the region and Power Surge 12 Black became only the second team to win a PSR Ranking League gold championship, our 14-1s being the first to accomplish that honor on Saturday 10 February 2007. Congratulations ladies and coaches. Job well done!!!
Practice Policy - Practices are mandatory. If you miss a practice for whatever reason, you get to sit out an entire match at the next tournament. There are many legitimate reasons for missing practice, but the reason for missing practice does not exempt anyone from the "sit out" policy. Also, any time you miss a practice, you are required to notify your coach in advance. School functions (i.e. sports, band concerts, plays, etc.) do take precedence over our practices, but it does not exempt you from the "sit out" policy. If you are late to practice or have to leave practice early for any reason, the "sit out" policy does not apply to you. And the point here is for everyone to make the effort to get to practice, even if you can't stay the entire time, especially when there are many competing priorities that are much more important than volleyball practice. But, we all made a commitment to each other and we all need to keep those commitments, as much as possible. Commitment is something you do, not something you just talk about. Show your commitment with your deeds and not just with your words. See you all at practice!

IMPORTANT AND URGENT INFORMATION FOR ALL TO READ.
Just got this on 28 Feb. Please pass the word along! Small gym no longer available due to batting cages.
There are now three things we need to adhere to in order to continue using the gym at SLHS.
1) Do not show up too early. We are not allowed in the gym until 6 PM.
2) Be sure the floor plates/covers are replaced over the holes for the poles.
3) Do not park in front of the gym anymore in yellow-painted curb
If we do not respect these requirements, we will not be allowed to continue practicing at SLHS. The floor plates came up missing twice already this season. One more time and we will be tossed out. Showing up too early also causes problems for the school because no one can be in the gym outside of their scheduled times. Parents, please pick up your kids at least 15 minutes before the end of practice as we must vacate the school grounds by the end time, 9 PM usually during weeknights. Coaches, be sure your team meetings are concluded well before the end time so everyone can vacate the area by the end time. Thank you all for your cooperation in these matters.

Had our 13-1s won their final match on Sunday, they would have faced our dominating 14-1s in the U14 D1 semi-finals. Well done coaches and ladies!

It is a Power Surge tradition for parents to play their kids at the end of the season. At the same time, teams may have a team party, award ceremony (coaches' call), etc, to wrap up the season. In order to get all these scrimmages against the parents in before the end of the season, I will be scheduling these matches/parties on Tuesdays, all through May. Since we will not be having an end-of-season club barbecue at SLHS as in times past, teams may use this time to celebrate their 2007 season. Have fun!

IMPORTANT AND URGENT INFORMATION FOR ALL TO READ.
Just got this on 28 Feb. Please pass the word along! Small gym no longer available due to batting cages.
There are now three things we need to adhere to in order to continue using the gym at SLHS.
1) Do not show up too early. We are not allowed in the gym until 6 PM.
2) Be sure the floor plates/covers are replaced over the holes for the poles.
3) Do not park in front of the gym anymore in yellow-painted curb
If we do not respect these requirements, we will not be allowed to continue practicing at SLHS. The floor plates came up missing twice already this season. One more time and we will be tossed out. Showing up too early also causes problems for the school because no one can be in the gym outside of their scheduled times. Parents, please pick up your kids at least 15 minutes before the end of practice as we must vacate the school grounds by the end time, 9 PM usually during weeknights. Coaches, be sure your team meetings are concluded well before the end time so everyone can vacate the area by the end time. Thank you all for your cooperation in these matters.

Congrats to our tournament champions this past weekend. The 14-1s won the U14 D1 gold championship at last weekend's Domino's Pizza tournament, and the 15-1s won the U16 D1 gold championship at the same tournament. And finally, our 13-1s won the SFY U13 tournament on Saturday 31 Mar at Highline CC, then finished in the gold division of the Domino's Pizza U14 D1 event held on Sunday 1 April. Had our 13-1s won their final match on Sunday, they would have faced our dominating 14-1s in the U14 D1 semi-finals. Well done coaches and ladies! Pizza parties will be celebrated at practice on Tuesday 10 April. Please note changes to the practice schedule for Tue 10 April due to the pizza parties.
