Superstition

Our daughter plays Volleyball for the Exeter Union High School Monarchs. They've recently been crowned the Division III Volleyball Central Section Champions! Congratulations girls! That happened last Thursday, in dramatic fashion. The crushed their opponent in straight sets, 25-4, 25-15, 25-16. The entire time they were on the run through the playoffs, and subsequent title game Bug, our daughter, would send us a simple text message, "Starbucks! Huh? Yes, that was the entire content of the message but we knew what it meant. When the run began she happened to visit Starbucks with Mom a couple of hours before the game. Since then she's been doing the same thing before each game, sending me her "Starbucks!" message and the team has continued to win.

Tonight the girls begin their march to a state title, so a few minutes I received the familiar "Starbucks!" message, let's hope the streak continues. Four more victories and they'll be California Division III State Champions.

Wow, that has a nice ring to it!

Good luck Bug, and good luck Lady Monarchs!

Tonight 7PM, EUHS gym, Exeter vs. Campbell Hall.

Here are some links to local papers covering their Central Section Title Game.

That's our Bug!

Visalia Times Delta: "Exeter's Taylor Fahrni makes a return against Central Valley Christian's Brelle de Groot during a Central Sequoia League volleyball match. Exeter won in five sets." - For a while I thought the girls were going to drop their first game of the year. In fact, they lost their first set in league during this match. Tough game. I'm used to the girls winning in three, but not the final three. Great game girls!

Bug, you look like you're trying to bite your opponent.
