Alumni makes it 7 out of 8

The Venice HS Volleyball Alumni game was a success tonight. Even though we threw it together at the last minute and their was no Air condition, we had one of our largest turnouts. Many people in the stands got an opportunity to see a preview of the 2010 edition and some of our oldies got a chance to show us their stuff on the court. Alumni that played was Ann Ross '85, Kristen Batt '99, Katrina Rico '99, Danielle Durham '05, Becky Ross '05, Natalie Gaudreau '07, Julie Howlett '08, Taylor Capasso '10, Jessica Costanzo '10, Emily Daniels '10. I did see Ruth Terry in the stands and was disappointed she was not on on the court too. Even though, the VHS teams have only beaten the alumni once in the past 7 years, it is a great opportunity for the the current players to play at the TeePee with the bleachers out and fans in the stands. It is also an opportunity for our alumni to reconnect with their teammates. Alumni won tonight 25-22,16-25, 25-18, 25-23. Good luck tomorrow if you are trying out for the 2010 squad. Our 1st home match will be Aug. 24 against the green wave of Ft. Myers and then again on Aug 26 against Plant or Berkeley Prep.
