Newman Smith JV Volleyball !!!!!!!!!!

[Burntblood]

So my daughter's a freshman but she and three other freshman made the JV team at her high school.
They're the Newman Smith Trojans.
Anyway she's a starter on the JV as a middle hitter. She plays in the middle right close to the net.
She's a badass. I'm not just saying that because I'm her dad. It's the truth.
I used to let her punch me as hard as she could but a couple of years ago she said "Dad, can I punch you as hard as I can in the back?" I said "Sure, you little punk." The next thing I knew everything went black and I fell to my knees. After a minute or so the feeling to my lower extremities came back.
That day she became the family badass. I passed the baton to my 12 year old daughter.
So tonight they battle the mighty Colony Cougars. A match consists of the best of 3.
Game one was a hard fought battle. My daughter played well. Other men's daughter's were humiliated by her awesomeness. I was proud.
Game 2 - We're down 14 - 0. My daughter nails a devastating spike that was unreturnable.
14 - 1, we're still in this thing. Fast forward to 24-1. They serve and hit the net. Haha..losers.
24 - 2, it's on like a motherfucker. We serve and it goes 20 to 30 feet past the back line.
Nice power but game over.
I still felt good about it. My daughter scored the only offensive point.
Game 3 - We lose 25 - 21. Nothing spectacular here.
So she has to stay and watch the varsity team plus there's some rule about them riding back on the school bus and I head out.
Right around the corner was a liquor store. I've never seen one so close to a school.
I wasn't planning on drinking but it was fate.
I got a Red Bull and half a pint of vodka.
I told the old man behind the counter "Man, I've never seen a liquor store this close to a school before, the kids must love it." and the dude just stares straight into my eys and says "We don't sell liquor to minors."
So I say "Well, that's a shame." and the guy looks at me like I'm a total dick and says "That's the law mister." WTF?
Has everybody lost their mind?
Basically I'm pretty buzzed right now thanks to Newman Smith JV Volleyball and The Colony Cougar's close proximity to a liquor store.
Thanks lax Texas laws about distances between schools and liquor stores.
Thanks Jesus for making my daughter a fucking badass.

kids sports

I could tell you a lot.

Baseball
Soccer
Volleyball
Roller Hockey
Lacrosse
Synchronized Swimming


Been there thru all of them. I was the parent from hell early on. But I have so mellowed. Ribit

FYI........... My daughter as a sophomore finished first in the state in her division in school figures in Synchronized Swimming. ............. And I still say the friggin shit is down right awful to have to sit thru

Do NOT let your daughter take up Syncro

Oh, and there are only about 6 teams in the state so it sounds impressive otherwise. :24:

Your daughter fuckin' rocks.
Yeh my kiddo played everything at first.
We wanted her to find what she really wanted to do, what she was passionate about.
She bungee jumped at 12 and blew her knee out at 13.
After that surgery and rehab we asked her to please pick one sport.
So it's volleyball. At least she's not a fucking cheerleader.
She's model material too but she's not into that becasue she understands that models are pussies.

My youngest daughter is more the artist type. She played all the sports and ended up with Synro.

She has the physical tools to be an athlete but not the drive. Hoping she gets a scholarship playing the bass though.

My oldest daughter should have played lacrosse. She would have excelled. Got screwed by the high school soccer coach which cost her a chance at a scholarship.

Then we have my son. 25 year old with no drive. He played goalie in hockey. He just started too late. Then one day after high school he played around with the soccer ball in the front yard. Where the hell that talent came from was unexpected. Oh did he suck at baseball though .

You sound like a great dad.
I only had one kid so I gotta throw all my eggs into one basket.
I spent 1300 bucks on a Viola for the little shit. She was first chair consistantly in the 7th and 8th grade.
Then she said "Fuck it"(in different verbiage)
I was like "How can you blow off something you're so good at" and she says "Because I've already been the best, playing the viloa sucks."
How can you argue with wisdom like that?
I was almost proud.
Congrats on three great kids. You're a lucky man but you already know that.

I have my wife to thank for how the kids turned out.

I was just along for the ride.
