Volleyball

Volleyball is over for the season, and what a season it was! We ended the season 10-15 and qualified for the NCS playoffs for the first time in at least 9 years!  Last year we only won one game, so it was a HUGE improvement!

 Our Volleyball coaches from last season backed out right before Christmas and we were wondering what we were going to do.  We asked Drew about possibly coaching and he finally decided that would do it.  He asked Conner to be his assistant coach and we are grateful that Conner had that opportunity!  They did a great job!

 We won our first four games and were excited to be playing and finally winning a little!

Here is Parker, Trever, Clayton, and Nick 

 We played in a couple of tournaments this season too and were able to compete and hold their own with most teams.  

 In between tournament games, the boys came over and hung out at our house for a while.  They played some ping pong,

 swings, 

 basketball,

 and played some Volleyball and Dodge Ball on the Wii!

 I was in charge of the snack bar again this year as well as getting rides together for the games (and watching Christopher and Lindsay the days Tina worked).  We had this little area behind the snack bar where the kids could play, eat, and watch movies!  It worked perfectly (most of the time)!

Calissa made this sign for Senior Night and enjoyed cheering for the boys during the season.  Conner sat on the bench and did stats during the games.

 Here is our Varsity Team!

Our Senior's:  Clayton, Coach Romer, Nick, and Julius

Conner, Nick, Jake, Hao, Tyler, Trever, Julius, Parker and Clayton

 They played their NCS Playoff game last night at Clayton Valley.  They announced each player individually and they came up and shook both coach's hands.

   Parker got to be first since he is #2!

They also announced the game (and got Parker and #2 on the other team mixed up several times), sang the national anthem, and had four refs.  It was a fun experience even if they lost in 3 sets.  (25-15, 25-21, 25-13).  Wish they had played their best, but now they have something more to shoot for next season.  I was proud of how Parker played and am sad the season is over!

Here are the boys right before the game started.

It was a fun season with a great group of boys!  Now, we just have to get ready for the team party and try and convince Andrew (and Tina) that he needs to coach again next year!
