So here is another thing about Utah that is different than anywhere else I have lived.
I am in the Young Men’s program and am the volley ball and basketball coach. They not only have a very organized and well run sports (youth and adult) program, but they have tournaments all the way to regionals.
About three weeks ago, we had the stake volleyball tournament, which our team won. Then, the last two weeks have been the regional tournament. Last week we played the first two rounds, and then yesterday we played the championship game.
I am proud to say that our young men won the entire regional tournament. It was very fun to watch and coach. We had practice every week after young mens and most of the time we just messed around and had fun.
We came into the final day of games in first place and in a good position to win the entire thing. Because we had beaten the other team already, we only had to win one more match. If they had beaten us in the first match, we would have had a chance to play them again for the championship.
The first game of the match we lost. Then the second game we won. The third game we were losing 11-3 and came back and won 17-15. It was really great and the boys were so excited. They even gave us championship t-shirts to commemorate the victory.
It was a lot of fun and now we look forward to basketball season, in which the boys are predicting another regional championship.
