Volleyball Game

My sincere apologies, I had the game at 8 pm last night on the calendar page. I will double check the listings for next month and make sure I have them correct. Sorry Gage, I know that you missed the game because of my error.

We did not win the match last night against Holland Hall 8th Grade Boys. Hey! 8th Grade boys! It was an awesome match and our 6th and 7th grade boys team gave NOTHING away free! They made the Holland Hall team work for their win! The last game was a nail biter!

Thanks for coming and supporting our games.

Coach A

VolleyBall Game last night

Sorry I do not have the pictures uploaded yet, I will get them up tonight or tomorrow.

Last night was our first game and the boys were AWESOME! We won the first game against Holland Hall but lost the next two games. The 6th and 7th grade boys team did a great job playing together as a TEAM and are really beginning to come together on the court. We saw some areas that they need to work on, which we definitely will be working on in practice. This was a great learning experience, for me as a coach and for the boys as a team.

Great job boys! I'll have the pictures up soon! By the way, you can add comments to these posts as well as on the posts with the pictures as we get them!

On this web site, there is a link to the Calendar. I will be putting up the practice schedule on the calendar as well as the game schedule. That way we will have it online for anyone that may not have a hard copy.

God Bless and Thanks for a great game!

9/11 - A time for Faith


This image so clearly encourages us to open our eyes to the suffering servant. Through HIS suffering, we were granted peace.

(At its 122nd annual meeting in 2004, the Supreme Council resolved that Sept 11th be observed each year as a World Day of Prayer for Peace.) What follows is the World Day of Peace Prayer.


With you, O Mother of the Redeemer,
may the hymn of the humble and the poor rise to almighty God:
may He, the merciful one, bring peace to earth,
reconcile brothers at enmity,
confound Cain,
make Abel rise again;
may He bring all creation to the design he had at the beginning
in the love of the Son,
in the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Amen

Pope John Paul II
