Brook vs Lake Volleyball-“Battle of the Unbeatens” (Undefeated Clear Lake takes on undefeated cross-town rival Clear Brook)
This Tuesday, September 22, 2009, the undefeated Clear Lake Lady Falcons meet up, at their home gym, with the only other undefeated team in District 24-5A, the Clear Brook Lady Wolverines. Both teams are 3 and 0 and they have not played any common opponents.
Clear Brook has defeated last years District Champion, Clear Creek, and also defeated Dickinson and Brazoswood. Clear Brook’s wins got more convincing as each match took place beating Clear Creek 3-2, and then Dickinson, 3-1, finally blanking Brazoswood 3-0.
Clear Lake got their wins against Galveston Ball, Clear Springs and Alvin. The Lady Wolverines have shown steady improvement in each game. Clear Lake has earned their wins with a more dominating style, finishing Galveston Ball, 3-0, Clear Springs, 3-1, and then Alvin, 3-0.
The other key matchup between our teams around the lake will be at Clear Creek High School, where the Lady Wildcats take on the cross-town rival Clear Springs Lady Chargers. All four CCISD will be in action against each other. Fans can pick their poison by choosing to watch the undefeated Clear Lake vs Clear Brook battle or stay south of the lake and attend the game between Clear Creek and Clear Springs.
The Clear Spring’s attack features last week “kill” leader, Tori Whitworth, and Clear Creek has an impressive player of their own in the six-footer, Madeline Gaffney. Clear Creek Coach Scott Simonds will be looking to knock off another district opponent to stay in the running behind Clear Brook and Clear Lake. Clear Springs, with the same record as Clear Creek, has Coach Rhonda Rust readying her team to pull off a big win and take a step beyond the Lady Wildcats in the District race.
With four seniors from last year’s playoff team, Coach Meredith Thompson of the Clear Brook Lady Wolverines has gotten her team off to a fast undefeated start and she is pleased. Coach Thompson had remarked that with four starters back they should be out of the gate and into the District lead and that is exactly what has happened. Clear Lake’s Coach Chanda Eager has a multi-faceted attack with standout players like Ashley Power, Logen Bourque, Kate Foley, and Lauren Horelka, and sophomore Kiara Wright.
Clear Brook and Clear Lake will find out who will sit atop District 24-5A after their meeting Tuesday night. The “Battle of the Unbeatens” will be the place to be and I would be surprised if it didn’t go down all the way to the last game, the last point.
