Monday night I was preparing Hick's supper when I heard a text on my phone. I didn't recognize the number. Turns out it was from an old high school classmate. I think. For sure, it was from a teammate on my high school volleyball team.

Hello My Ladies...I was informed today that our 1975 State Volleyball team are going to be inducted into the Rebel Hall of Fame in February. I am waiting for the athletic director to send a letter with all the details. When I do, I will forward it to you all.
Yippee!
Awesome!!! Thanks for letting us know!!!
That will be fun !!

That's the sender, and nine responses. So 10 players. I think we had 12 on the team, but I don't remember for sure. If I could walk down my 13 rail-less basement stairs, I could look at the big felt State of Missouri on my office wall, which has the names of all of us. We won 2nd Place in the state volleyball tournament during the 1975-76 school year. This Missouri-shaped banner used to hang in the fieldhouse, for all to see, with many other teams' honors. I guess they cleared out the old fogies. Because there was a silent auction years ago, and I won the banner.
The same year, our boys' basketball team placed 3rd in the state basketball tournament. They will be inducted that night as well.
Anyhoo... the ceremony is supposedly on February 26th. No more details. I imagine it will be before or after a basketball game, or at half time. Not sure I will attend. Nobody wants to see a doddering old VALedictorian try to walk out onto a sunken gym floor.
But it's nice to know that a piece of my history might once again be on display in a trophy case somewhere.
