Venice Volleyball Senior Night

Last night was senior night at Venice. We closed out the regular season with a resounding win over a local rival to raise our record to 17 wins and 9 loses. 8 of the 9 loses came to teams ranked in the top twenty in the nation.  This group of seniors is a special group of young ladies. In many ways they are throwbacks in terms of their commitment, focus and work ethic. The three years working with this group has been one of the highlights of my coaching career. It was a very emotional night for all of all of us. Personally it was very neat to sit on the end of the bench and watch them play and reflect on what had gotten them to that point. I will be graduating with this group, do to work and travel demands I will no longer be able to work with the team, but I cherish the memories these long ladies have provided. We still have three weeks left though to refocus and began the second season – the playoffs. Our record as of today is 0-0, playoffs begin on Tuesday and the State Championship is November 19.
