Well,
our opponents were basically a bunch of Deibert Jrs. Last fall I said
we played our toughest opponent, well, I stand corrected after tonight's
match. Jump serves, ten footers, and hits that cleared out block are what
we saw all night. There were moments where we were competitive, but also
moments where I found myself muttering "this isn't very fun"
under my breath. Yeah, I can't wait to play them again in March. I'm sure
Natalie wishes she just would have went straight to broomball, but she
does take home Monster honors for her sacrifice. Thanks!

Hunt, Chug Monkey, Tricky Fish, Ink Rally, getting our menus in a timely
fashion, actual volleyball... we were just off our game(s). At the very
least, I hope "Girls Night" was a success. We were sluggish
and flat-footed as we, for the second week in a row, were beat-up by a
quality opponent. For what it's worth, we got our two toughest opponenents
out of the way for awhile (at least I hope so!). Time to get back on track
as a team, make some awesome plays, and have some fun.

Impact
Well,
we didn't get the totally domination we were hoping for in only going
1-2 against a familiar short shorts opponent, but it was nice to again
be part of a slightly more competitive match. We had great plays and streaks,
including awesome setting that earned Bic the Monster honors, but also
were a bit unfocused, heavy-footed, and gave up some runs. Course, we
did "destroy" photo hunt, we collected a blank trophy, and Keith
did give us a pretty fun foot in mouth (or foot to mouth) vollleyball
kicking moment (thanks Keith!). So, you win some... you lose more.

Set Bucko
(from
Craig) From it's obstructed view baby Schlichting could see that things
were not so good in the first game. Let's face it... we played like donkeys.
612! faced a team that they should pulled out a can on, but somehow things
weren't clicking. Feeling the pressure, Suki stepped to the plate and
delivered a serving onslaught that didn't seem to end. From that point
on we were on auto pilot for game two and victory was ours. Game three
had many flavors, and after a pretty good comeback, 612! ended the match
convincingly with the opponent not giving us the chance to pound it down.
Outback? Don Pablo's? Well we know how this works... what do the ladies
want? Pablo's it is. Testing our week old waitress, K-dawg and Sukilicious
went the route of all you can eat enchiladas. The second challenge of
the evening was on... If Suki can eat 6 enchies, plus one bite, Craig
pays for two meals. Well, Suki did his part, as did Keith, even though
both of them set the scene as if they were so full from previous meals
that didn't know if they could finish three. A few items of advice...
don't wear a sports watch on the first date, don't try to ask for someone's
hand in marriage when you have communicable diseases, watch your corn
bread when Nat's in the house, and when all else fails get me that other
jar of hot sauce. Let's Spice it up next week!

Yeah,
I was a little slow on this recap. Sorry. I don't remember much... but
do remember some discussions around being tired, eating too much cookie,
and having one of the worst games of our lives (game two, I believe).
'Bout time we step up our focus and game and have some fun! Thanks to
Kara for being a super sub!

That
Just Happened
We
finally brought some good energy (at times, maybe too much energy?). Granted,
we still lost a game we should have won, but all together it felt a world's
different than our last few weeks. All together... a pretty good night...
even despite Keith's volleyball theft misdemeanor. I have an idea. Next
week, I'm going to hit every set as hard as I can. What a concept!

Well,
we continued our trend of taking two our of three from an opponent we
probably could have (should have?) swept. Some ugly serving and inconsistent
runs... but also some pretty great set, hits and hustle. And who know...
maybe we'll see more recap from Natalie!

We
played that team we really dislike (because they're good) and played them
better (we even won one). For reference, they're the team with the completely
uninterested teenage, pouty blonde who wear a nighty to the game. Nonetheless,
we played well. Ran off to Granite City for dinner (never again). Those
are the highlights. I'll keep it short... I assume Natalie will add more...

Set Bucko
(from
Craig) With Pat and Nat out of town, we were fortunate to acquire the
services of Tim and Jalynn. Jalynn got an early start, thinking our game
was at 6:30, and Tim had a scare from Pat when he asked "How did
it go?" earlier in the day. The parking lot was jam packed, but I
can say they didn't come to see us. As expected we had a few early communication
snafu's. We minimized the service errors and played just well enough to
win the first few games, and dominated the last game. This was more due
to their sloppy play, but nonetheless a victory. We had some good looking
plays and some not so good, and to come away with three victories was
certainly just what we needed. Thanks to the subs, and see the rest of
you next week for the final match of the season (including photo hunt,
ink jet, and monkey chug of course).

Well, our somewhat odd season of volleyball has come to an end. Even though we saw our ranks fall to the middle of the pack as a gaggle of young teams came onto the scene... we still played some great volleyball, had some beautiful plays, and kicked some serious Photo Hunt ass (is that a penis?) in the process. Great season to all! Hopefully see you this summer for some giant cookies and a bit of pickup.
(from Tony J., the biggest sports fan in Hatti's class. He may not have had all the facts straight, but...well...here it is... and remember, he's 9)
Team 612 did not play there very best game just very sloppy. But then in the last two games they stepped it up a notch and nobody could stop Keiths standing hit and Hatti’s string of wicked serves. But Craig did not have his lucky bunny. So he did not have a very good game .It doesn’t look like Craig is going to get a scholarship now.
