Getting their medals



Taylor had her BBC volleyball tournaments on Saturday and it was one of the best days we've had in a while! They have struggled at times during this season and on Thursday they were beaten by North Central, and we had to play N.C. to start the morning off. They were ready to win! We beat them in 2, had a break played Pettisville, beat them in 2. Then it was Fayette against Edon and who ever won that we played for the championship or BBC title. Edon of course won, they were undefeated and obviously had beaten us twice through the season. The girls were so unified on Saturday and won the first game and WE WERE ALL PUMPED! So they start the second game TOTALLY nervous, b/c NO ONE had even beaten Edon this year! WE WON!!! WE BEAT EDON IN TWO GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!! Edon came in thinking they were going home with the title and left defeated! I usually don't get to worked up and during the other two games I was not to worked up, but during that Edon game I was shaking SO BAD!

Rhonda, Taylor's coach and I are best friends and Taylor has not always been the easiest player for her and there have been times both Rhonda and I didn't know what to do with her. It was so special for us to have gotten to celebrate the victory together! I am so proud of Taylor and her entire team! They really came together and stayed FOCUSED (we said that so much Saturday!). Some of the parents banned together and kept them encouraged even when they made mistakes we tried to keep them looking up and not get down. IT WORKED!!!

Then following Taylor's teams win, we went into the 7th grade game to find out the 7th grade girls were about to win their championship game! THEY WON TOO!!! It was SO COOL to have both teams come home with medals! They all worked very hard and deserved it!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
