lady lobos v calhoun

little sister's volleyball teams continued their winning streak and remain undefeated after tonight's wins.

triple header

first up: 9am - CSM v vipers.

the girls were slow to start, but they came out victorious in 3 sets (20-25, 25-17, 15-10).  little sister (once again) did not make any of her serves over.

 after the game, daddy worked with her at home and we agreed on a deal over lunch....for every serve she gets over the net, she earns $1.  even if she doesn't make the point or if the balls lands out of bounds even, we are just working on getting the ball over the net!!

next: 12 noon - fusion v sweet feet.

it was a really humid scorcher of an away game - ending in a tie 2-2.

 but we had no time to be sad, because we had to rush back to our third & final game of the day: 2pm - CSM v ice.

 the monkeys took the match in 2 sets (25-15, 25-?).  and guess how many serves little sister got over.....eleven!!  yahoo!!!  and they were absolutely beautiful serves... :-)

another rainout :-(

we were so very hopeful, but it just wasn't meant to be.  mother nature had other plans for our friday night....

first, big sister had to stay after school for a group band photo.  they were getting to wear their uniforms for the first time - and everyone was so excited!  once they were done around 4:20pm, she was allowed to come home with her uniform (a rare event) and had to report in uniform to the stadium at 5:45pm.  i happily took her and her best bud from color guard...

 

 they even had their new duffle bags to tote around all their stuff!  starting to look so official now!!

daddy, little sister & i made it to the game around 6:45pm, and all was going well.  by 7:30pm, the game was well underway, and the band was playing from the stands, and we were all having a fine time.

 around 7:45pm, the band headed down to the field area to prep for halftime.  and the skies above quickly turned dark and ominous.

with just a few minutes left in the second quarter, and with the football game still going on, fans were advised to take shelter below the bleachers.  the winds shifted, temperatures dropped, and we waited for the rain, which began just as predicted.  there was a lightning delay around 8:15pm, which pretty much lasted another 30-40 minutes.  finally at 9:09pm, the band was dismissed from the stadium, two weeks in a row with no halftime performance.  it was so disappointing, but just makes the anticipation for the next game that much greater.  big sister had to go back to the school to change out of her uniform, and then finally was able to head home.

picture perfect

lady lobos v rodriguez

another night of undefeated volleyball, as the 7th graders took on rodriguez at home.  little sister didn't make any of her serves over, but she got some play time and helped contribute to the win.

 

C team - 25-12 and 25-5

B team - 25-15 and 25-12

 A team - 25-10 and 25-12

first home game

tonight was the first home game for the marching band, and it was a rainy mess.  the band spent most of the pre-game below the stands keeping out of the rain.  the game started as scheduled, with drizzle falling and a very soggy, slick field. but still the band could not get out their instruments.  at the top of the 2nd quarter, there was a small break in the sky, and they all proceeded to prepare for the halftime show.  but soon after the instrument truck was unloaded, there was a large flash of lightning, and the band director called it done.  he couldn't risk the kids' safety no matter how badly they all wanted to march.  so, we'll try again at next week's home game... :-(

lady lobos v crownover

daddy attended little sister's 2nd volleyball game tonight, an away game about 30 minutes to the west.  the lady lobos came out victorious in all 3 match ups.

 c team - 8-25, 25-19 and 15-12
b team - 25-6 and 25-23

a team - 25-17 and 25-13

daddy said that little sister made all her serves.  way to go!!

also, a teammate's dad took tons of photos of the games & shared.  here are a few with little sister in them.
