Gotta little story for ya.....
This past weekend we traveled to Aggieland to watch the A&M VB team play CU in Reed arena. In our group we had several members of the San Antonio Christian School 7th grade VB team (including my daughter) to enjoy the game. One of the parents made sure each of our girls had an A&M volleyball to take with them. They thoroughly enjoyed the game, the victory and the atmosphere. After the game was over and most of the crowd had left our girls went down to play on the A&M court. For a bunch of 7th graders, that was fantastic. But it got better. My wife walked into the players locker room and asked if any players would be available to come out and talk to our girls. When she walked back out 8 players of the team came out as well. They were tired and had bags of ice taped to their shoulders and knees, but still had time to give to our girls. They signed their volleyballs and t-shirts, talked to the girls about the importance of grades in school, attitude and about playing VB. Several of them gave a pretty good history on their own playing careers. The players spent a good 30 minutes talking to them and posing for pictures. Our girls were walking on air afterwards. There are now eight 7th graders who now have A&M solidly in their sights in about 6 years.
This was a memory they won't forget.
Thank you Texas A&M Volleyball players you were GREAT to our girls and Congrats on the victory!!!
Gig'em! Whoop!
