Just Another Night


Nothing unusual here- the girls of Holy Redeemer traveled to Meyers for a volleyball match.  Redeemer  was clearly the better team this time- winning the match in three straight games.  Just another night on the busy WVC sports schedule, right?

No.  But we'll get back to that.  For now- here's something else to consider.

How do you gauge the success of an athletic program- say.... a volleyball team?  You could look at how much things improve as players pass from JV to Varsity.  You could look at the legacy of the team- do the alumnae come back to watch?  Try looking at the girls on the team- are they having fun?  How about off the court- does god's light shine on them?  Do they come together to bond as one?  Do they play as a team?  Can they jump serve?  How about fan support- Do they draw a lot of spectators?  How about coaching- is your head coach adored by lovely ladies of all generations?  You could and should look at all of this- because after all, winning isn't everything.

You can pick any of those topics- but the one thing you can't ignore is simple- wins and losses.  Remember this post?   Most of you probably don't- it was a long time ago when we wondered how long the Royals dominance of the local volleyball scene would continue.  We still don't have an answer to that, but we know it's still going strong.  With the win over Meyers, the Lady Royals volleyball team notched its 100th consecutive regular season victory.  Say what you will.... it's tough to argue with success.

Some more sights from around the game-

It wouldn't be a volleyball photoshoot if Sara and Nicole didn't do this.  Thanks to Alyssa for jumping in too.

The next generation.

The man at the top.  He mentioned how much he loves the spotlight, and baloons that look like hemorrhoid cushions.

The whole batch of photos is not ready yet....  but when it is, you will be able to see them here.

The whole site, as always, is here.

Enjoy!
