Volleyball Manila Tournament: Day Two

This morning we had the opportunity to go out on a feeding with K.I.M.  Though our group was large and didn't get the chance to actually serve the food we were able to walk around the area and talk with some of the villagers and little kids.

We played 2 matches today, the first being against Faith Academy.  It was similar to ICS games, where parents and students were in attendance cheering them on.  With both men's and women's teams playing at the same time it became noisy, but in a very good way!  We lost the first set 21-25 and then won the 2nd set 25-21.  Both sets were super close and high energy.  It was great to see the girls play with such a high intensity!

After the match ended, Faith joined together with us and handed out small gifts to our girls.  They also took time to share with our team that no matter where we come from and where we are we have the opportunity to share God's word to other people.

In our second match of the day we took on Brent who has won the Dan Landry Tournament before.  We lost in straight sets 15-25, and 9-25.

In our third and final match of the day we played another local school, and lost 6-25, and 7-25.  We had our ups and downs today, but we were able to play against some really strong volleyball teams.

We are looking to another great day of volleyball tomorrow as we now head into 3 set match play for the final day!

Go Knights,
