Go Fish Go!!!
So the Fish had her first volleyball tournament today. The coaches had told the parents that they were there to win so some of the girls might not play. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do in the first tournament of their young careers, but then again i'm on the sidelines. The first game was against McPherson, a much larger school. The Hobble and I were sitting by each other and we were figuring that we would get waxed. As for the format, in the pool play it was one game to 30, must win by two. We were down 22-13 and came back to upset Mac 36-34. The Fish didn't get to play.In the second match, we played Newton (again a much bigger school) and we got beat 30-21. Fish did come into the game after Cara made about five mistakes in a row. Fish came in and promptly played GREAT!! She even had a spike, and was a passing fool. I was cheering so loud and just about bursting with brotherly pride. I wanted to yell "THAT'S MY SISTA!!!" ( I think the ghettoing of sister would have emphasized the point coming from my cracker ass) Damn I was proud of her, because she came into the game and promptly executed everything she did well. The Hobble (wow, all my cousins have nicknames) and I were talking about it after the game, and we both decided that if she keeps that up she'll have a starting spot by the end of the season, because the girl without a neck (think ET when his neck was short) has her head up her ass constantly.
Now, all we need to do is work on her serves so she gets consistant with that. Maybe we'll go work on that tomorrow.
