More to come...
Battle volleyball made school history twice the first week of this month!!! We beat Blair Oaks for the first time in school history! Then, two days later, we beat Helias for the first time. We had never even taken a set from them before. We not only won, but we won in extra points in the 5th set and I served the winning ACE!!! It is something I will never forget!
With all this, I had a physical therapy appointment which was really hard on my foot. I had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Bohon and she was worried about my pain level and I had X-rays taken. Thank goodness there was no fracture! My pain level went back to its normal level after a few days of rest. I am just really exhausted and can use a break in general.
Mom and I went to support Lila in her cross country meet in Fulton, and I got to celebrate her 16th birthday at a picnic. We got dressed up and had a great time! I went back to her dad's house and we watched movies for a while. I've missed hanging out with her.
The next week of volleyball wasn't as good. We played against Jeff City and lost in three sets against Ali and Landrie's team. It was great seeing Ali and the Vogt's though. We also played Hickman and won 3-1. I can't say we played great though. Then, we had an all day tournament in Warrenton and Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom came to support us. We again did not play great and really had a couple of players who had negative attitudes that brought us down. In pool play, we lost to Fort Zumwalt West (1-2), won against Owensville (2-0), lost against St. Louis Christian (0-2). We ended up in the lower bracket because of our record. We were easily able to beat Wright City (2-0) and Owensville again (2-0) to get 5th out of 8. It was a very disappointing finish for what could have been a great tournament for us.
We went to Union on Tuesday of the next week. It was nice to have Grandma Kathy, Papa Ron, and Linda there to support us. I just didn't feel great and thought I was going to throw up during the game. It was another very disappointing loss (3-1.) I enjoyed being able to see Grandma Kathy's new house after the game, and had a long ride back home. Good thing we didn't have school the next three days and I cancelled my PT appointment.
We played against Capital City and lost 0-3. It was another rough game. In one of the final points, I dove for a ball and landed on my hip. I couldn't feel my leg and thought I could go back in until my coaches pulled me out. I laid on the ground for a long time. Their athletic trainer came over and was concerned about the lack of feeling that I had in my leg. I ended up riding in an ambulance to the hospital in Jefferson City for X-rays. Luckily, there was no permanent damage. I most likely hit a nerve. We got home around 2:00 and feeling was starting to come back. It was much better in the morning.
The next day was the homecoming parade, and then the homecoming dance on Saturday! I went over to Tristn's with Audrey to get ready. Deyton picked me up from there and we had pictures taken with his friends. We had enough time to go out to eat at IHOP before the dance (we were planning for after) and stop by home for pictures with my family. We tired to get his boutonniere on, and Dad ended up breaking the rose bud off. Mom pinned it back together. I had so much fun hanging out with Deyton and my friends and just being free and happy.
We had another busy week of volleyball the next week with three games. Dad went to Sedalia to watch us defeat Smith Cotton (3-0). The whole family watched us take down Fatima (3-0) for senior night. Taylor asked me to give her senior speech and it was hard to do through the tears. I am going to miss her, Janiya, and Henley so much next year! Mom drove down and watched Camdenton beat us (1-3.) Our last regular season game was against Rock Bridge and we had another disappointing 3-0 loss for our pink out game. We have 11 days with only practices before we start districts. I'm hoping to get things together by then!
