Wyoming Weekend

Well, it didn't finish as we would have hoped, but it was still a good weekend. We were up in Wyoming this past weekend. We played two solid programs and came away with wins, but lost to host Wyoming Saturday afternoon.

It started as a nice and convenient bus trip up highway 85. As we got to Laramie we practiced for a little while in their gym. Some of the girls, especially the middle blockers, noticed the additional 2,000+ feet of elevation. After practice we headed over to a local chain restaurant. We were told that it would be a little wait to get us in...45 minutes later (and they seated several mid-sized parties) we left vowing not to return. Instead we headed to McAlisters. They were awesome.

The first two matches went really well. We controlled the match pretty well, only allowing a couple runs of points. We beat Texas-Arlington on Friday afternoon, then beat Portland on Saturday morning. Both of which were good wins for us. Then we came up against Wyoming on Saturday afternoon. They played really well against us and we did not have much of a response. I guess that happens from time to time. That is ok though. They are a solid team that I think is going to surprise some people in their conference.

I have attached a short video from this weekend. This took place in the tunnel leading out to the gym floor. The girls made a little tunnel for the coaches to run through. Luckily, I caught Jenny running through it as they all sang for her. Our girls are so goofy! I love it.

We are headed to Utah and Idaho this weekend. We are playing Weber State on Friday night, and Idaho State on Saturday night. Both teams have some great talent and always play very tough on their home floor. We are looking forward to the trip. I am sure our girls will rise to the challenge!
