The Craziest Game Ever!

Hello Barcodes!

If you missed this past Sunday's Intramural Volleyball game, you missed a thrilling spectacle! The Barcodes went head-to-head against the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) in a long, exciting matchup. VSA took game one, 25-18, as the undermanned Barcodes found their rhythm. The Barcodes took game two, 25-20, in a game full of long rallies and great serves.

Game three started off beautifully, as Amanda Koss gave the Barcodes a 8-0 start with some awesome serves. But, VSA was not to be outdone so easily. Each point in the third game was incredibly well-fought and very exciting for both sides. The Barcodes became increasingly aggressive and talkative on the court (even culminating in a hilarious exchange between Catherine and Patrick which is far too difficult to relate through email--ask about it on Sunday!). It looked all wrapped up for the Barcodes as they pulled ahead 24-19, but, alas, we lost the serve to VSA. Then, VSA brought in their "ringer" to serve, and she steadily brought the score back to being tied at 24. Then the Barcodes got the ball back, and were one away from winning. After a long volley, the serve returned back to VSA and the game was tied again at 25. This back-and-forth of serves and points continued until the referees decided that the score was getting too high, and the next team to score would win the game. And so, after 45 minutes of exhausting and exciting play, VSA finally took game 3, 30-29. It was a hard loss, but it was so exciting, and the Barcodes played wonderfully.

So, you definitely do not want to miss the Barcodes play this Sunday night at 9 pm against the team "Franky and Monroe." And we'd love to have more players this weekend! Please call me or text me at 210-325-9549 to let me know if you are available to play this weekend, and I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week.
