STATE VOLLEYBALL 11/14-11/15

 What a special high school memory!

Last year, Harper did go to the state tournament with the volleyball team as a stat-taker and videographer. 

But this year she actually got to be on the court, and even got in (and a kill)  during the first game vs. Omak. 

They left on Thursday, November 13th. 

They matched up with Omak for the first game, winning 3-0

Going up for a block

Me taking a pic, while papa takes video of Harper's great hit!

We were all so excited!!

After the game

The rest of the games, we go to watch her warm up but no on court time. 

We did love to see her cheer for her team and get to be a part of a successful run. 

Eating dinner together after their wins on Friday. 

We went in ranked as #5, which seemed so low for us. 

Friday:

Omak Won 3-0

Lynden Christian Won 3-2 (this was such an exciting match)

Saturday:

Chelan (ranked #1), Lost 2-3 (all of the fans were saying this was the real state championship match)
