Valor Team Is Working Towards State Berth on Tuesday, November 12th, 2024

Valor team, Elise Wilson in center.

Elise in the center in the Valero shirt, flanked by team members whose names I will have to learn before Tuesday,

So it’s one day post the presidential election, and I am turning my attention to the granddaughter’s volleyball tournament action.

Oddly enough, the Valor team played another Valor team tonight, after winning all of their regular season games to get to this night,

They still have to win a game this coming Tuesday night at 7 p.m., so we’re not breaking out the champagne yet. Actually, I’m not allowed any alcohol because of elevated liver enzymes, so maybe no champagne ever.

If they win that game, the team goes to state in Texas, although I am woefully unaware of the levels of competition, other than that Elise Wilson is the Valero (spelling?), which means that she has to do all the scooping up of balls from the court. She (and the rest of the team) played well tonight, winning the first 3 games in the best 3 out of 5 bracket.

 

I attempted to catch Elise in action, scooping up and setting volleyball plays, so that the ball can be returned and, hopefully, spiked.

We saw the team play a few months ago and they have improved immeasurably.

Wishing them good luck and posting some videos/photos, I hope.

Well, the video posting is not going well. Let me see if I can still remember how this might work. (Probably not).
