I took over 30,000 photos for volleyball. This one's my favorite. So much context around this shot.
This was our last regular season match (and Senior Night) and we still had a chance to tie for first place in the league with the Saints if we beat them this night.
He had been expected to carry the team after last year's seniors graduated. By now, the team was pretty much just riding Dash's offense as hard as they could. He was first option for the set whether he was front row or back. All in. In order to win, the whole team would have to play its best and Dash would have to have a career night...
Note the banner on the wall at the top: that's him (same part of the swing)

He had a career night. 27 Kills in four sets (topped only by a 28-kill 5-set night three weeks earlier). Bet we only won the second set. In that, he had eleven kills and two aces (two of each in the last five points with Saints at 24) for a 26-24 win. A great Senior Night memory!.
