Sunday 10

Volleyball. My pregame warm up included: resistance band shoulder stabilization exercises, push ups, abs, and squats. We lost 2-1, but played very good considering we only had 4 players and it was the 4 oldest players. With Justin set to return home at the beginning of February I a little undecided about playing volleyball for the Sand Tigers. I was a definite no before his decision to return.
