Charlotte Latin 8th Grade Volleyball

So I just finished up my second season of coaching 8th grade volleyball at a private school here in Charlotte, called Charlotte Latin. This year was extremely exciting. I had a great team that played great together. We finished the season 9-3 and second in our conference. For our conference tournament we had a bye in the first round and then played Charlotte Christian. We went to three games that were all very tight. The first game we lost 21-25, but we think it was because of a call a ref made that he ended up being wrong about and therefore called a replay on. We lost all our momentum on that call. We won the second game 25-21. It felt like we were on top of the world at the end of that game. The third game was even closer than the first two. We ended up losing 25-27. We were devastated, but it was the best game the girls had played all year long.

As soon as I got my pictures I will post them up.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I chose to read this book after seeing a blog on Stepehnie Meyers page saying that she loved this book. I figured if I love to read a certain authors books then the books she reads have to be good too. And this one was.

I had a tough time at the beginning as I thought it moved a little slow. But was extremly pleased at how easy a read it was. I had no expectations going into this read having no idea what the book was about. I got a little hesitant when I realized it was a book about fights to the death among young children. I felt Suzanne did a great job of handling the "games" not bringing in too much violence and gore.

I will definitely be picking up the next book when it comes out.
