My 16 year old daughter, Kendell is volleyball crazy and her favorite team is our hometown Cyclones of Iowa State.
Kendell spent her first 11 years of life in Ames and when you are an Ames resident it is all things Cyclones. After moving to Waterloo at 11 her passion for the Cyclones has only increased. The only thing she'd rather be doing than watching the Women's Volleyball team is playing volleyball herself.
Tonight we watched the Cyclones in their last game in the NCAA finals. It was a great run of 5 sets but in the end Florida State prevailed. I think Kendell and I were louder than most men when they watch football!
Since moving to Houston this fall Kendell has insisted she'll never play volleyball again. We homeschool but she does have opportunities to play club volleyball here but she says it's pointless. It just rips my heart out and I'm praying that when volleyball season rolls around she'll want to play on a club team. Her dream is to play college volleyball. This past volleyball season was her best yet as she finished the season as team MVP and made 1st Team All Conference for her position of Libero.
Just more mom guilt for me to deal with.
And to think I titled this post about the Cyclones Volleyball Team. Rambling got hold of me again.
