"Brick Wall Shar"

So this weekend I had all intentions of getting so much studying done for the two tests I have coming up this next week but of course a lot of fun things come up and the good student that I am thinks, "hmm, I'll just do it later!" Well, that's what I did! Taytum called me Saturday and said the volleyball team was playing for the state championship and so we ate and then headed out to Peoria for the game... The girls played so hard but lost (of course to one of those dumb private Christian schools that get to recruit, don't get me started!) and I relived every anxiety and pressure I had ever felt playing volleyball in high school. I miss it so much! As we were driving back to Mesa, I remembered this one really intense game we played against Mogollon. Our team was playing really well and I had stuffed a few volleyballs in a few girls faces, and the crowd was amazing, which of course helped our team play even better... so I had just blocked a ball and the crowd had cheered and kinda died down and just as it got kinda quiet, Blake Gray stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs "Brick Wall Shar!" Ok, so of course I turned bright red and everyone looks at him and then looks at me... um embarrassing, but so funny! We won that game and it was probably one of the best games we ever played! Congratulations to the St. Johns High Volleyball team for being the State runner-ups! ( It has been quite a few years since that has been done!)
