 Hello, and welcome to the Dave Trumbo show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, joined with Stevenson Beach volleyball head coach, Dave Trumbo. Coach, welcome back. We did this in the fall, and we'll do it again here in the spring with Beach volleyball. So you opened up the season this past weekend down in Texas and went two and two. Kind of take us through how the weekend went. It was OK. I was hoping for three and one, and we got real close to three and one. And really, when we played Huntington, the score was 4-1, but it was a lot closer than that. We were up 2-1, and two matches were still going on, and they both went three, and we were losing them both. And so we very could have easily lost both of those matches. So my point is, a lot of times when it's 4-1 or 3-2, it's a lot closer than what you think. But overall, for the weekend, I thought our number ones, Lauren Weaver and Katie Leffridge, went three and one. And they played really well. When they played the team from Texas, who beat us 5-0, they scored the highest team from Texas, pretty good. And then at our fours, Victoria Prokic and Julie Nightwine, they also went three and one. So they had a pretty good weekend, and I thought played really well. Yeah. So obviously, the starting season, the first time you had the opportunity to play somebody else. And we talked about this last week, for the season preview, is that the kids were actually to play somebody else besides themselves. And obviously, they were able to do that this weekend. So obviously that prepares you, because you've got spring break coming up, and a large portion of your schedule coming up in this next week, 10 days. Yeah, and so it was great to get some games under. I think they were really fired up when we played Principia in that first match, and we were able to beat them 5-0. Texas, the other match on that day, not so much. And then the two we played on Saturday, were both really close, and we split them. So going down to Florida, and we're going to pick up eight matches. So we're going to play two matches a day every other day. So I know they're looking forward to that nice warm weather again. And there's some great D2s down there that are first year programs, but they're very high level indoor programs. University of Tampa has already beaten Eckert. And Eckert's been playing beach for four years. And Florida, Southern, St. Leo's, they're first year programs we're going to play. So it's going to be a real interesting trip. I don't know. I feel like the competition's going to be a little tougher, but I really don't know for sure. Yeah, obviously the opportunity to play some different teams. Like you said, those Division II schools in Florida, very strong indoor programs, some of them in the first year of beach. Like you said, Tampa has already beaten Eckert, who's been playing for a couple of years. So should be some good tests for your team down in Florida. Yeah, one when they're that strong indoors, like Florida, Southern, I think they were runner up national, I mean, so they were runner up to the national champions and Division II. So those kids are really athletic, and a lot of them are from that area. So they're Florida, so they probably played a lot of beach. So I think the competition, to me, it really kind of blows my mind that we can compete the way we can. I really think we've got a great group. And our inner hunger for some good competition. And I think I'm looking forward to the Florida trip. Yeah. Well, Coach, best of luck as you travel, safe travels. And obviously, we won't talk to you next week because you'll be down in Florida. Right. But we'll talk to you in two weeks. All right, thanks, Greg. All right, for Dave Trumbo, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave Trumbo Show.
