Winter Midcore Volleyball at First Baptist Mondays

What a night! The second match-up on this opening night at First Baptist proved to be great competition between two brand new teams, and one very awesome Indy team that just met. Leading the way for the Indys was Jamie Ann, who quite literally was flying through mid-air diving to save balls. This wasn't just a one time occurrence either, she never hesitated to sacrifice her body to keep the ball alive for her team. Returning to the game after a knee injury, Jamie Ann is back, and ready to play. Congrats on a great first night Jamie, and welcome back!

This week's player of the game is John Quandt! John played three great games with him team Lights Out Side Out, and then stayed for three more to help out his buddies on team Ball Blockers. A busy night for John, but taken in stride. As well as being a dominant force on the court when it comes to hitting and serving, what stands out most is his never ending encouragement of both his teammates and his opponents. He challenges his opponents and then gives them props when they rise to the challenge. He makes sure his team knows they have support and praise when there is awesomeness, and a high five when a play doesn't go their way. A true Underdog who is out to play hard, keep everything fun on the court, and have a great time. Congrats John!

We loved watching Lauren play! Not only is she a phenomenal volleyball player but she was a supportive team member and always had a smile on her face! It’s great to see players who clearly love the game as much as Lauren and how know how to make it fun for everyone. Keep up the great work and positivity Lauren, you light up the court!

This was a great night for the team Bump, Set, Oh Shit! They showed up pumped, and ready to take on the reigning champs, the Volley Llamas. Led by the awesomeness that is Katelyn Bristow, this first year team kept the champs on their toes throughout the match. Aside form being a stellar volleyball player, Katelyn exudes a love for the game that is rarely seen, and this shows most clearly in the way she encourages her teammates and fights for every play. When the night was over, smiles remained, and that is what is most important. Thanks Katelyn for your spirit, and for being such a fabulous Underdog!
