A Big Weekend and a Possible Disappointment

Tomorrow and Saturday is the SC Association of Christian Schools state soccer/volleyball tournament, which we are hosting for the first time. On Monday our boys' soccer team won their quarterfinal match, which meant they get to play tomorrow. And on Tuesday our girls' volleyball team also won, which means they too got in the tournament. So it's been quite exciting - it's not common for both teams to get in, and it's especially unusual to have that happen the year we're the hosts.

So I have a senior daughter, with six years of volleyball playing to her credit, for whom this is really a highlight. Then, this afternoon about 4:30, near the end of the last practice of the season, I got a phone call - from her coach. And an hour later, this was the view in our den:
Sprained. She desperately wants to play tomorrow. I'd say at this point it's about 25% that she'll get to play. Maybe tomorrow morning it will look better.

Oh no -- poor thing. I hope it's well enough to play on...but better to miss even a big game like this than to risk making it worse.

How disappointing, but it's amazing what rest and a lot of ice can do!

That's a tough one, indeed!!! Who knows, for what reason this has happened? So--ML, make the best of a difficult, bad situation. Many things in life happen and we have to cope with them. We're praying for you that this will not be an insurmountable moment.
