I have never coached a team with more composure and mental toughness than Thunder Boom! All season long this team consistently pulled out, come from behind wins to take top spot in our U16 Super Series. These victories earned them #1 ranking going into the provincials. It was now their job to solidify this ranking and be the first team in Thunder history to not only win a Provincial Championship but to repeat as Champions.

They entered this tournament with the confidence they had what it takes to get the job done, but recognizing no one was going to lay down. Everyone wanted to be the team to knock of the returning Provincial Champions.

After a perfect tournament of with no losses, it came down to the final set. The score was 21 – 17 for the opposition. Things were getting tight but they weren’t about to give up yet. Boom! began to draw from the season long experience of coming from behind to steal games away. It started with a crushing 3 meter line hit up the middle which turned the tide. The opponents began to tighten up and Boom! moved into the drivers seat. The rally began. Before long the two battled to a 24 – 24 deadlock and it was now survival of the fittest with Thunder Boom! pulling out a 29 – 27 come from behind victory that completed part 1 or their season goals. Part 2 is Nationals and this year they are ready.

Congratulations to all the girls of this years 2010 U16 Thunder Boom! team. All the coaches and parents are extremely proud of everyone of you! Great work girls you deserve it!!!
