Thursday roundup and Friday preview

Hello fellow bloggers.
Thursday night only featured two area teams playing volleyball and that was Utica playing at Ford II.
The Falcons rallied from a 23-20 deficit in Game 4, winning the game 25-20 on five straight service points by Emily McKay. That win gave Ford the match over Utica, 3-1.
It was a great comeback by Ford and the Falcons are headed in the right direction under second-year coach Jamie Baker. The win improved Ford's record to 9-2 overall.
First-year Utica coach Mark Ott was pleased with his team's effort and said they made positive strides on Thursday night, despite suffering the loss that dropped his team to 0-3 overall.

On Friday night, I will be attending the Fraser/Romeo football game. This game will be played to raise money to fight cancer. Romeo will wear pink jerseys with each player donning a name of someone they know who has either died, has had or is battling cancer. Fraser will wear white jerseys with pink numbers and the back of their jerseys will honor someone they know who has battled cancer. Each player had to raise a certain amount of money for the jersey, and after the game it will be given to the person or family member on the field for whom they were playing in honor of. It should be a very emotional evening.

If you're going to a game on Friday night, let me know where you're heading and what your thoughts are in regards to the game.

Talk to you later.
