Nice win for Northwest

Alaina's team ended the regular season with a nice victory over Bishop Carroll, which was the first-place team and ranked No. 3 in the state. Northwest got drilled in the first game and was down 13-4 in the second before rallying to win. The team finished 25-13 overall and 13-3 in league play, which tied them for second. It was 8-0 in the second round-robin of league play. Up next is sub-state play on Saturday. Her team has to win twice to advance to state. Each of the last two years, it has won the first game and then lost in the sub-state finals. We'll see what happens this year. We kept waiting for Alaina after the game, wondering where she was at. Turns out she was doing some media appearances. I think she looks like Sara in the video, only with bigger dimples. If you want to see some bad video of both matches Tuesday, go to this link. Videos are on the right. Alaina is No. 9. She has some nice kills off of some slide plays.
