The Dig Pink Game
is one of our favorite games of the year. We spend weeks preparing for it by
selling t-shirts, tickets, and spreading the word. So when the big day comes,
our team is anxious as we filter into the gym one by one. Sitting in the
training room I remember looking around at everyone in their pink attire
(shirts, socks, bows, hair ties and even pink hair). It made me realize
how important this day was to us. Breast Cancer has affected each of our lives in
different degrees and this is a day to remember our loved ones who we have lost
and celebrate those who have survived.
The atmosphere in the gym was electrifying for warm-ups. The team was excited
that our big day was coming together. Friends, family, and people in the
community were filing into the gym sporting their pink attire supporting us,
supporting the fight against Breast Cancer. Soon enough it was time to play.
After the jitters settled and the girls adjusted to a couple new lineups the team
was unstoppable winning the third set 25-10. Individually, Grace hit an
outstanding .471 on the night, Xuan had 10 kills, Bailey had 7 blocks, Alexa
had 27 assists and Erin dug 12 balls. Not only was I proud of them, but also
proud of the subs that did their jobs when called upon.
To say the least, we did good things last night. We played good
volleyball and raised money for a good cause. Thank you to everyone who donated
to the Side-Out Foundation and attended our game. And a special thanks to the Zeta’s for
selling t-shirts and collecting donations. See you all on October 26th
for our last Dig Pink Game!
