Well, we totally got cremed tonight. Two of our players haven’t practiced with us AT ALL since last year and one only practiced with us a short time. It was frustrating to have people all rusty and feeling awkward working together. We also played 6-2 and I don’t think everyone had a good sense of Read More
Well, volleyball has started up again and we have our first game in the advanced league tonight. I’m so stoked.
