Well, they say you may only get once chance at fame, and I certainly missed the boat while out in California on vacation. I went to check out the AVP Huntington Beach Open and it was awesome! I won a hitting contest called the "CRUSH" Contest sponsored by CROCS the offical sponsor of the AVP. A bunch of girls and guys had to hit 3 balls with Pros judging holding up scores between 1-10 for the best 2 out of 3. I won for the girls on Saturday. The following day, they ran the contest again and the winner that day and myself would compete on CENTER COURT before the women's finals! I was so pumped up, excited, text messaging my friends etc. Well, it would seem that they changed the time of the contest to occur during the women's semi-finals and I was up in the stands in the VIP Section that AL-B got for the Volleyball Vacations crew. I missed my chance for 5 minutes of fame. The stands were full, and at this point of my life, I know that I will never have another chance to hit a volleyball on center court at an AVP Open event... A day late, a dollar short, story of my life...
Cheers~
So close... still, pretty kickass winning the hitting competition! Did that part, w the pro judges and all, get televisional play at all?
