I'm putting this in three places folks for the greatest visibility.

Full disclosure - I've been deep into volleyball since 1981 when I started what would be a 9 year stint as the varsity volleyball coach at Athens High. Next up - my daughter playing four years at Marietta College. Today, it's three granddaughters playing club ball with the oldest two starting on the Athens High varsity.

Now that's not OU but the players on the current OHIO teams started in club, played for their high school team and now are proud Bobcats.

The link below is for a fundraising campaign they are currently conducting for a variety of plans and activities. Please read what they are hoping to do and give as your means permit.

I'll commit right now to match the first 10 $100 gifts. We have 13 days to get them to $20K. Won't you join me in supporting the team and the program?

Pretty good crowd in the Convo. Bobcats 2-3 in the match with two 25-27 losses that easily could have been wins. Good showing against O$U with team showing potentional with three who did not play in the fall doing very well.
