Young Women's Volleyball


Okay, so this picture isn't our actual team but I forgot the camera. I'll get some shots next Saturday because our team made the SEMI-FINALS of our regional play!  Actually, we are defending regional champions but last year we had far fewer matches to get there than this year because they moved us to another region.  We almost didn't make it to the match and my team was probably about ready to kill me because we got lost trying to find the church. Fortunately we ended up only 2 or 3 minutes late and they let us play. I was pretty embarrassed because my WHOLE team had managed to make it along with several parents but WE had been unable to figure out where we were.  We could have really used the GPS but of course didn't have it with us.  It turns out the road we were driving up had completely different numbers on the left side of the street versus the right side and we were following the wrong side.  I wish someone had given me a heads up on that.  The match itself was great - the first time our team had to go to a decisive third set.  I was lucky Jared could get me a few tips which helped.  We ended up winning in the third set  by just two points.  The other team was good, very consistent at getting the ball back.  I love our team, they can play hard and still laugh at themselves or each other.  When it got close they were able to focus and enjoy the moment.  GREAT JOB GIRLS - you're almost there!
