A Sad End To The Begining

Last Friday afternoon and evening and again on Saturday Annie's High School volleyball team began their season with a tournament that involved schools from all up and down the Wasatch front. They did awesome earning the the top spot in their Poole Friday night. The sad part happened in the last game of the last match when Annie fell on her wrist injuring it. At first the coaches thought it was broken but after 10 minutes of icing it she could move it again and they felt like it was just a sprain.

A big thanks to the family that came and supported her. These two were some of her biggest cheerleaders.

Saturday she was in pain, but determined to play so she wouldn't lose her starting position. They taped her up good and she played. The team played hard and took 4th place over all . Way to go Titans.

Sunday her wrist was really hurting her. We figured she overdid on Sat. Sunday night she told me it had finally stopped hurting but at practice on Monday she found she was in so much pain she couldn't play. She came home and went to the Dr.'s. The crushing news for her was that she had a hair line fracture and she is out of the volleyball season for six weeks. We had a lot of weeping and wailing at our house last night. It is sad. This is her Senior year and her last chance to play and she had earned the starting setter position on the varsity team. It doesn't seem fair to any of us because she has worked so hard for this. That is how life is though. It isn't fair. Now Annie has the challenge of being a good sport and watching her team play with out her while cheering them on. The one silver lining is that if all goes well she'll be able to play in the last few games of the season and hopefully the State tournament. Good luck Annie we are all rooting for you!
