Districts and Sectionals

In August, my tennis team played in Districts and Sectionals.  We won districts by winning 3 matches best of five.  I think our team scraped by in the first 2, 3-2 then won the last match 4-1.  We had help from the other half in beating out the top team.  We were all very surprised that we won!

We only had 8 available players for Districts:  Maya, Joy, Eva, Ann, Janna, Polly, PJ and Jane.

Polly and I played and won all 3 matches in Districts.

Polly plays the forehand side, I am on the backhand.

Team meeting during sectionals.  We actually won our first 3 matches.  I didn't help so much, lost 2 out of 3.

My mommy came and watched all of the matches and took hundreds of pics.  Thanks Mom!

We beat Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming.  Colorado was also undefeated going into the last match.  They beat all 5 of our teams.  Polly and I had a close match against 2 young girls.  We came from behind to win the 2nd set then lost in a third set tie breaker.  Still, pretty good to do so well at 4.5.  Who knew??

Happy Birthday Dan the Man

Dan got a shirt, a book and a lovely Disney picture for his birthday.

Shelby's first games at Dixie

Tad and Kass and I went to St. George on Thursday to watch Shelby's first regular season games.  We were lucky enough to stay with Cherie and Gary Leavitt in their beautiful home.

There was a little confusion at the start so they just had the starters run out on the field.

This game was a 2-2 tie versus Cal State LA.  Shelby played all 110 minutes.  Krissy Page scored the first goal for Dixie.  Yay Krissy!

Dixie lost the 2nd game against Sonoma St 2-1.  Ashleigh Jameson was there to watch her little sister Abby play.  

We sat with Ashleigh through the 2nd game then went and took pics with Ashley Woollam.  She trained all four girls.  Kass and Ashleigh at BYU.  Now Shelby and Abby at Dixie.
