Yep, they won the whole thing. Which wasn't even "the goal". The goal was to win against U17 Splash so they would get the bid to go to Nationals in Dallas this summer. They did that, so yep, we're going to National$ in Dalla$$ :)
Then they did something else amazing. In the Regional competion for the 18 year olds, they won the whole thing, thus being the first ever younger team (17's) to win an older teams (18's) Regional competition. So they are now the Evergreen Region No. 1 team for both 18s AND 17s :) How can you not be excited about that?
Headed East, AGAIN, this weekend for volleyball. Long, straight-as-an-arrow drive from Wenatchee to Spokane. I always seem to hit it in the couple hours before sunset when God's(?) hand lays a golden wash and intensity across the land that whispers a little "not as boring as you thought, eh?" Not sure how I feel about this particular tourney, if I'm being HONEST. If they win, there will be more $$travel$$ at a time when I am $$traveled$$ out. I think I'm ready for the season to wrap-up, but when I'm there, and they're playing and pulling together and never giving up, you can't help but cheer them on. Wish us luck, in whatever form that may be.
