Winter Softcore Volleyball at First Baptist Thursdays

Every time a new season begins, there's an unmistakable feeling in the air - some might say it's the static from fresh tshirts being pulled from their bags, but I choose to believe it's the feeling of friendships being made when Indy players unite for the first time. Now into Week 2, Christina R., from Indy V5, has found herself as a leader for her new-found vball family. From participating in the captain's meeting to helping their team's on-the-court organization take shape - Christina was an active voice and made some fantastic plays during the match. We see a future captain in the making!

Thursday night in the crowded gym of First Baptist, anyone could have pointed out the phenomenal offensive skills Brandon K. was bringing to the table. He showed tremendous improvement on his JUMP serves throughout the game and really stepped up his attacks when his team was down a player. By the end of the night, no one wanted to be on the receiving end of his fire top spin jump serve. Through all this excitement, Brandon stayed humble through the kills and strong through the unlucky hits. He made sure his team was having fun and represented the true Underdog spirit. Great job Brandon K., until next week!!

WOW! That word is, effectively, the only way to describe Joshua’s big moment. Joshua Banks of That’s What She Set exhibited astounding athleticism when he graciously performed a cross court pass that didn’t end up going into any ordinary volleyball net, it sunk right into the basketball net of one of First Baptist’s finest basketball hoops. While receiving a tough serve, Joshua had his perfect passing form ready but his inner baller couldn’t hold back from making that 3 pointer and seemingly defying the laws of physics in the process. The volleyball to basketball net play was exactly what both teams needed in the third set in order to add some laughter and fun back into game. For stunning everyone with his extreme athleticism, Joshua Banks is our player of the week. Congratulations!
