The end of volleyball season

The volleyball season has finally come to an end. It was a bittersweet ending, losing in the semi finals of state to a team we could have beaten. We lost 13-15 in the 5th game. It was a great season though. I only had 3 seniors on the team and even a freshman (for the first time in my coaching career).  Each tournament we were in the team finished in the highest bracket and making it to the semi finals of state showed just how hard they worked all season long. I couldn't be more proud of them. Gabe was a trooper at the end of the season...making sure he was at the last tournament and making the state games just to make sure I didn't go into labor. He was also a huge help around the house. He cooked dinner and kept the house together as I slept on the couch after practice was over. I thought coaching in my last trimester would be easier than it was, but Gabe really helped me out. Cari was also one to watch out for me all season long. She kept me out of harms way at practice and games and was the first to jump off the bench and yell when I couldn't. I really appreciate all the help I got this season and I am looking forward to having a "normal" season next year. :)
