Volleyball

Jenna started playing volleyball for Harding Academy this year. This is the first year for VB at the Academy. The ninth graders have never played before so they haven't won many games but they are improving. Last night they played Lonoke and they lost both games but Jenna had a great game. As you can see from the photos she returned several serves. She really loves playing . Tonight they had their first away game in Little Rock. Julie texted me that Jenna served 7 straight serves before they lost a point. I missed it because I had to be at jail tonight. The HA VB coach is Michal Giboney. Her husband is Keith Giboney who is the HU vb coach. I have a couple of more memories of volleyball. In college I took VB and Table Tennis one summer as a PE class. The class was in the Rhodes Field House before it was remodeled. James Frank was my teacher for that class. When I was a senior in HS I got to photograph one VB game for my HS yearbook. Mr. Cox was an administrator at HA in Memphis and he took all the photos for the yearbook. He sent me to Kingsbury to shoot a volleyball game. My camera equipment at the time was a Pentax K1000 with a 35-135mm zoom and a Sumpak flash which I think was a model 26 SR. When I was in 11th grade I talked Mr. Cox into sponsoring a photography club for several of us that were interested in cameras and such. I think we might have met 3 times. I remember that Mr. Cox used an Olympus OM-2s camera body and he had a Tokina 50-250 zoom lens and he used a Metz 45-CT1 flash on a Stroboframe. I really liked how the Olympus body would average spot meter readings and I didn't know why that might be important back then but I just knew it was cool.
