Spring Midcore Volleyball at First Baptist Mondays

Candice Hillman did phenomenal this week at First Baptist! She killed it on the court with consistent fast top spinning serves and crazy good swings at the net! She communicated great with her team and covered the court with quick feet. Thanks Candice for playing with Underdog, and congratulations, you're Player of the Week!

"No. Way.” This was the thought of everyone at First Baptist Monday night when Kim Condie of Kicking Assets and Taking Names made an amazing play out of nothing. Typically, when a ball flies out of bounds there is nothing to cheer about. It may hit the wall or the basketball hoops but that is all. Somehow, Kim sent the ball flying towards a hoop on the side of the court. The ball hit the backboard and began bouncing around the rim. Everyone was watching when suddenly the ball sank through the basket. The entire room was amazed by the accidental, yet somehow skillful play made by Kim. To top it off, she got the kill. For this one in a million shot, Kim is our player of the week. Congratulations!

No matter how intense the competition, there should always be room for sportsmanship in any game. This past Monday at First Baptist Church, Rachel Lucus of Indy #V13 put on an impressive display of sportsmanship that had a positive impact on all players in the game. Rachel repeatedly encouraged her teammates, even when they made the occasional error. Though it was a close game that her team ultimately lost, Rachel’s demeanor ensured everybody left in good spirits. Rachel truly embodied the Underdog spirit with her attitude. For increasing the fun had by all, Rachel is our Player of the Week. Congratulations!

Some people just "have it" when it comes to sports - Anthony Van Eaton is one of those people. His team, Back That Ace Up, knew they could rely on him to be there wherever and whenever they needed him the most. In addition to possessing amazing skills on the court, his sportsmanship off the court is just as noteworthy. He is truly a volleyball natural. For his all around greatness, Anthony is our player of the week. Congratulations!
