Sports, Sports, and more Sports

So, the Perry family LOVES sports!! On Friday we managed to attend two different sporting events while keeping up with another event in another state. Tim, Ava Grace, and I attended our women's volleyball game at UNCA on Friday afternoon. We played Charleston Southern and were able to pull out a win after playing 5 games!! Whew! We enjoy going to their games for many reasons and Ava Grace apparently enjoys them too as her eyes get really big and she seems to watch the action closely. Her daddy is secretly hoping she wants to play volleyball one day! We'll see what happens. Anyway, Congratulations Coach Torbett, Talia, and the volleyball team.

Jammin' at the Justice was last night as well. We didn't stay too long because it was bath time and bedtime and Ava Grace will let you know when that time arrives each day. Jammin' at the Justice is the preview for the men's and women's basketball teams. We only saw the introduction of the coaching staffs, but we know it was a fun event as always and we look forward to attending many games very soon. We want to wish Kenny a speedy recovery and look forward to his return next year. A quick note about Kenny....Kenny George is the tallest Division 1 basketball player in the country and he plays right here at UNCA. He is 7'8" and has become sort of a legend in his own right. Kenny is back home in Chicago this school year dealing with some medical issues, but plans to return to school to finish his degree and play his last year of ball next fall. We miss you Kenny!! Good luck to both teams this year!!

Uncle Doug's Mauldin Mavericks played Spartanburg last night. We decided not to go this weekend, but were anxiously awaiting the results. We got a phone call to let us know that Mauldin defeated Spartan High (that is what we call it) 30-13. YEAH Mavericks!! Spartanburg plays their home football games at Wofford (my alma mater), but that big stadium proved to be the showcase for "our" team this week. YEAH!! Congrats Uncle Doug, Cousin Lee, and the rest of the Mauldin Mavericks!!
