Date	Time	Record	Opponent	How'd we do?
Jan. 4	6:30	3-0	Go Back To Texas	(from Craig) Suks out with a groin injury, Jessi playing broomball, Keith getting worked over by his personal trainer, Bic being "the good" setter, Hatti had her sore thighs, Craig "the J-braker" with sore gluts, Steph getting her car fixed and complaining about it and Nick with some intense play all led up to a great match for the WOLF squad. Yeah we won by forfeit. Depending on the other three players...it could've been a tough night. Well we'll see them again.
Jan. 11	6:30	5-1	Duck Moose	(from Bic) With Pitter out again with a nagging groin (That hurts, that hurts!) injury, the Wolves adjusted again to another sub (Yeah Dan!!). Turns out that our “adjustments” need a little adjustment. Perhaps Keith was a bit near-drunk (for sure stinky). Perhaps Hattie was starry-eyed over Leif’s sense of humor. Perhaps through the roof bumps and through the back wall hits by the Schlichting duo were too much. Or perhaps Oscar wasn’t grouchy enough. Regardless, we managed to take two games. Craigy also managed to avoid getting his arm cut off by the paper towel dispenser with the motorized blade (phew!). And with the possible addition of a 6’3” (so I was off 3”) sub, we’ve got no place to go but up. See you in a few weeks team (sniff, sniff). Make me proud.
Jan. 18	6:30	8-1	Northern Lights	(from Craig) Half regulars, half substitutions....... the Wolves took care of business in predatory fashion. Accuracy was key as the numbers suggest.....Serving 95%, Spiking 80%, Tipping 100%, and Blocking 75%. The excitement level was high, partially due to the level of play, and the remaining intensity was derived from the cockiness of our opponent's goon. We played the team that used to bring fans, but they really had nothing to cheer about as we took all three.
Jan. 25	7:35	8-4	Fantastics	(from Craig) The high we were feeling from the prior week didn't seem to gain us any momentum. Our opponents had only four players and despite us having a full squad, you would have had trouble finding anyone that felt like we played anywhere near our potential. Sloppy serving, poor bumping, miss hitting perfect sets and just an overall lack of energy left most of us feeling depressed. The captain did nothing to stop the bleeding and the sheep were sacrificed in three straight. The highlight of the evening was the after party at Sensor's...... The beer and Bloody (a theme for the night) Mary's were flowing. Heck the bartender made an extra one for our favorite price (free)! Anyone for a game of BUCKO?
Feb. 1	6:30	10-5	Hammer Time	(from Craig) We actually won 2 of 3. We played a team called Hammertime last night. They have a short guy that can really bring the heat. Nick tore his ACL.
Feb. 8	6:30	10-8	Sudden Impact	(from Craig) We played really well at times last night. We just haven't jelled when we need it. I thought the sets were great, we just didn't make it happen as hitters. Yeah, they're a good blocking bunch, but I felt like we let a couple of the games slip away. We need to work on covering for tips and finding the holes on the third shot. Thanks very much subs.
Feb. 15	8:40	11-10	Swat Team	(from Craig) 3 games and 1 win. 3 and 1... what's the significance?.....oh yeah Bic turned 31. Well it was destiny, but nothing about the games I saw gave anyone a reason to celebrate. Pat came back to the squad thinking he needed to step up his aggression, and let the story be told that this is not what's best for the team. Our new motto shall be "You have to pass, before you can pound!". Shankolicious........ There were some exciting moments, like when I brought out the cake, and our gym supervisor said "No food in the Gym." Other than that it was nice to gather for the pregame Bloody Mary. Could this have impacted our Performa Nance, well to that I say "Do bears sh*t in the woods?". Seriously, you guys played all right, but seemed to just let the first two games slip away. Next week we get "Billy the Kid", so look out Texas.
Feb. 22	8:40	13-11	Go Back to Texas	(from Craig) We came out of our slump in volleyball. Billy ended the match with a block, so we went 2-1. It was a lot more fun, and we seemed to pass a lot better so regardless of the outcome it would have been a better outing.
Mar. 1	7:35	14-13	Duck Moose	(from Hatti and her glorious students - note: Leg = Groin) I'm just sending on my favorite re-caps from my kids today. They got creative with the truth (and spelling and punctuation), but I some of their versions make us sound better than we really are, which I LIKE. I gave them a few basic facts and they filled in the rest from their imaginations. Pat, you pick the version you like best (I think you might like Emalee's) for Geeks. By the way, you guys are celebrities in my classroom now... The volleyball night - By: Sierra BOOM! “And there’s another great hit by Hatti!” said one of the reporters. It was Tuesday night and the Wolves were dominating the Purple Aliens. 5 to 2. Suddenly, SMACK! Pat got hit in the leg by one of the players on the other team “Opps! Sorry, Pat! Didn’t mean to hit you with the volleyball! Bad aiming!” “It’s okay”, said Pat “It will only leave a bruise.” But Pat was wrong. On the second game, Pat jumped up to hit, but it hurt, and he accidentally missed it. “And there’s another point for the Cheesy Ducks! We will be back after these short messages!” said the reporter. When there team sat down for a break on the bench, Bic gulped down a sip of water and said, “What happened, Pat?” “Oh, my leg, it hurts!” Keith suggested that he be a setter instead. After there games were done, they met at pizza hut for dinner. “Boy, the Bubble gum people sure were tough!” said Craig. ‘Yeh,’ said Steph, “But there were no match for us, not in are Hawaiian shirts! By: Ian The wolves had a volleyball game. And the Wolves were wondering where Pat was. Pat was skydiving and lost track of time. Then all of a sudden Pat came flying through the window. And Pat hurt his leg. But he still played in the game…. By: Jenna Pow!! Steph spikes & gets a point for The Wolfs. And the crowd goes wild! It’s a tie no 13 &13. The enemy is going to loose wait wait…No they won. There all cheering; PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT. Pat hurts his leg. No! Hatti and Bic are going to crash. They smacked each others heads but there ok. Creg hit the ball to Keith and they won the game. The Wolfs won 1 game and lost 2 games. Hawaiian Shrits: by Sports Reporter Erica BOOM!! The Wolves team player Steph hits and gets a point. While the crowd goes wild!! Next up is Keith the left hand hitter. Then he shoots and the other team gets the ball and hits Pat’s leg. “OOOWWW” yells Pat. All the team players go running over to him. With 3 seconds on the clock the score is 13 and 15. 15!!!!!!! The Wolves Win!!! Sports Story - By: Emalee Hatti hits the ball and the game starts. The ball comes back and Pat dives for it and injures his knee. He’s down and out of the game. It’s OK Pat! I’m coming sweetie pie! Says Bic. Now she’s out of the game too. They round up their beach towels and tan in the sun. By the time they lay down the game is over. They look at the score board and they lost the game. How disappointing it is to lose says Bic. Oh well who is up for pizza! We are! The End. By: Zack In the first Game The Wolves had to serve the ball. And the server was Hatti and she hit the ball so hard that it made hole in the wall. Then Hatti’s team was cheering very loudly. Then the other team served the ball to Pat and Pat set it to Steph and Steph spiked it so hard the court shook. Then Keith got hit so hard he went through the top of the building. Then Bic and Craig hustled to get the ball but they ran right into each other. They they flew right into the wall. Then the other team hit the ball through the window out the door into the car hit a person in the head and knocked him unconscious.
Mar. 8	7:35	14-16	Northern Lights	The Contender: by Sports Reporter Sukhi Welcome to Exurbia (also known as the country)! Where the water is pumped, the lawns are cleatless, things get done by committed people and people go to die (or at least enter an old folks home). Or, welcome to skanky Minneapolis! Where outfits get changed often (three times in one night?), birds poop on their own homes, people fertilize lilac bushes and you turn on your own and question their 612 pureness. Brother! Ahhh... Minnesota living (we are the most bestest at being smartest in the whole, entire, total country)! Rib tips, Molly Love and city living aside, there was some v-ball to be played. It was the young punks (with our own individual arch nemeses). We lost three. Had our moments (although, no court shaking), but it's been a tough season for consistency. Drats!
Mar. 22	7:35	15-18	Fantastics	Jumped on the first game led by super-subs Trina and Tegwin. Dropped the next two on a couple of lapses. Not too much to write about. Fun and decently played, but not too eventful. Yup, that brings our season of inconsistency to an end. See you next year!
