Back on the Court Again!


Just in case you didn't know, I played volleyball in high school....AND I LOVED IT! Granted, that was 12 years ago, and I'm a lot older and a few pounds heavier now. But, none the less, I jumped at the chance to play on a city league team when my niece Kira (Munson) Heward invited me. Heck yes I'll play, thanks for the invite. The only down falls to the whole situation were that we played our games in Boise, and since I live in Nampa, I'm considered a non-resident and had to pay a little extra. Oh well! I'll do anything to play. Jim wasn't too keen on it since it meant an extra trip to Boise every week (on top of the one that we make to work every day.) But he gave in to my pleading, and allowed me to play.
Guess who our team sponsor was? Mr. Mark J. Munson, Owner/Operator of AAMCO transmision. Hence our name, AAMCO Attack! We even got shirts (see the pic!)
So, we weren't too successful. Probably a lot in part to my rusty skills and heavy feet. I certainly improved by the end of the season, but never got too good. I'm 30 years old, and I think the closest in age to me was MAYBE 25. So I was the "team mom." But they were all sweet and encouraging to me, and I had a great time. Last night was our last regular season game :-( We are still waiting to hear if we made it into the tournament, but I think it is doubtful. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.
My next volleyball adventure is to coach my ward young womens team. That should be interesting. I'll keep you posted. Wish us luck :)
