This was a great day (for me anyway).
I suspected Dash and Trevor were seeded in the top three teams, but I wasn't sure which spot. It wasn't until after the formal competition was all over, when they were playing for fun against the Parker (Valets?) #3 team, that I realized Dash and Trev were our #1 Team. Wow!
They won the first set 21-18 and the second 21-19 for a sweep. Our other teams didn't fare so well. :(
This floors me: the last time UCHS played beach volleyball, Dash was a Junior Varsity near-beginner paired with another beginner. They were a "developmental" team, not expected to win, not expected to matter. Afterthoughts.
First match after that, he's half of the winning Varsity #1 team.
Later for fun, Dash and Trevor played Parker's #3 team and lost in three. Good to keep them humble, I guess. But the one that goes on the permanent record is a 2-0 win!
I took Dash and Trevor to Ocean Beach's famous Hodad's for a Celebration Dinner. I hadn't been there before. Great Burgers and a very yummy chocolate malt.
Here are the best Dash shots:
