Moving on

to volleyball (the greatest sport in the world). The sports banquet for CBS was held Thursday night, so I'm using this event as the transition from one sport to the next. I know, I know, you're saying volleyball season doesn't begin until August. But no, volleyball fills the vacuum. If there isn't basketball, then there is volleyball.

Anyway, as I was saying (writing?), the banquet was Thursday night, and it was fun if somewhat bittersweet, as this was the last one for CBS. (As you all know, CBS is merging with Calvary Christian School and will eventually be operating under the Calvary name.) The food was light and healthy. Ahem. Well... it WAS delicious. The fellowship was great. It was nice seeing the players and families again.

Coach Carr did a great job recapping the season for both the JV and the varsity teams. She only choked up once (which I believe is the record for the fewest choke-ups by Coach Carr at a banquet). She gave out several awards and the girls presented her with flowers, and her and Coach Casey with mementos for eleven years together. (Apparently the girls don't realize we operate on a ten-based numbering system.) A photo montage put to music was presented, and Coaches Carr and Casey enjoyed it until the last group of photos, when they were seen noticably grimacing. Lots of bad form. I guess their coaching switches are on all the time.

Open gyms are already in full swing. Many of the returning girls are playing on club teams. Camp will be on us before we know it and then it will be wall-to-wall volleyball. I hope to use this blog to recap games and to cover other team matters throughout the season. I can't wait (as if you couldn't tell.)
