Slacking

I neglected to write about the volleyball game on Saturday and trust me, it's worth writing about.

We played Fort Benton.... this probably means nothing to outstanding to you but let me explain.
Fort Benton was a B school, they just dropped to a C school this year.

They have some very athletic girls, including a 5'9" sophomore that can jump. She was born to be a Middle blocker.

This game last Saturday was the first time we have played them.... ever. And to make things even more interesting, it was their Homecoming.
That's right the stands were packed and there were high school boys practically crawling over the railings and hanging from the rafters.
Needless to say, they were decked out in their finest "Longhorn" gear, painted in Maroon and white and being obnoxiously loud.

Fort Benton right away over looked us, thinking "Well Belt is only a C school and we were a B school, so really this is going to be easy."

Well they were wrong.
We played a good game.
It went to five, Fort Benton was tired.
But Belt could have gone another 3 games.

We lost the first two matches, they were close.
There were some bad calls, some missed serves, some errors made by the score keeper.
Of course, this happens every game.
In the end we won.
It was AWESOME. Fort Benton cried, I just love to make teams cry.
Fort Benton pouted and got snotty, I just love to make teams feel like crap.
Sometimes I love being a competitive girl.

The bus ride home was loud to say the least.
The girls took it upon themselves to have a singing party.
They sang Gwen Stephani, George Strait, Katy Perry, Luke Bryant, and anything else you can think of.

Did I mention that that was their first lost?
It just makes the win that much sweeter.
