Wow it's been a long time

So it's been over 2 months since I've posted.  A lot of things have happened.  Let me get you updated:
- Our team GPA for the fall semester was a 3.19!  This is great as it shows that we have well rounded individuals on our team, not just athletes.  I am very proud of our team and hopefully this will lead us to being Academic All-Americans again as a team.
- We had a girl transfer in over the break.  Michaela McNeely will be adding to our team as both a setter and a rightside hitter.  We are super excited to have her here.
- Locker room upgrades continue to happen.  We have new directors chairs for each player, as well as temporary lockers until we can find the ones we really want.  Also this weekend the installers are coming to place our motivational slogans on our locker room walls.

In BIG NEWS, Hill College has decided to buld a sand volleyball court!  They have given me freedom to work with student activities to design this court exactly how it should be: top of the line equipment and sand.  Hopefully we can have this built by the end of the semester!

It's been a good semester so far.  Kelsey and I have been on the road recruiting, watching a lot of players.  We are only looking for 2 or 3 more, but we are trying to find impact people as well as players.  Recruiting is long and sometimes arduous, but it is fun.  Volleyball is a great sport and being able to see great athletes play it is always exciting.

Last weekend we were in Austin for the Tour of Texas Qualifier.  I'm also helping coach an 18's team, and in between helping that team qualify for the top bracket at the next stop, I was able to look at some unsigned players.  Plus Kelsey and I got to eat at P.F. Changs which is always great.  Love their lettuce wraps.

Until next time.
