Sand volleyball!
Last night i played on a sand volleyball team as part of the intramurals. I have played volleyball at my high school but only at parties or part of the homecoming activities. Not to be cocky or arrogant but i am a fairly good volleyball player especially for a male, and coming from a school of suck high volleyball standards. I came from Dike-New Hartford who have made it to state every year i was in high school, and also produced Hannah Willms. I am also not a person that enjoys friendly competition, and I hate to lose no matter what the game is. These girls came up to my friend and I at the lunch table and asked us to join their team. They needed a couple more guys on their team and we enjoy playing volleyball so we said yes. They said that they had had high expectations for this league and they talked themselves up to be fairly good players. We got to the courts just past the Manors and then i soon found out that I was in for an interesting experience. The team I was on that was suppose to be pretty good was far from it. My friend, Daniel, had a chemistry lab and couldn't make it which was a huge disappointment. The other girls that invited me to play were also not nearly as good as they talked themselves up to be. Since Daniel was unable to show up, we had recruited a kid named Arron who I'm pretty sure had never played volleyball in his entire life. As you can pry already tell from the descriptions above it did not turn out how I expected. We lost in two games and we couldn't serve or pass. I hope the following weeks go a lot better or this is going to be a long experience for Lance Welsh.
