My "first" came yesterday. I was R1 for a varsity match that went 16-14 in the 5th set. That was a first. After the match a parent from the losing team came to me at the table and said it was the best officiated match they'd had all season. That's also a first for me in volleyball.
I always take parent comments, good or bad, with a grain of salt; but it was nice to hear anyway. I kind of hope it's not true, though. What does it say about the rest of my board if the best match of that team's season was turned in by a 3rd year guy?
