It's that cut and dry, right? Good topic, WRONG POST. Go SIT! Go Lady Rattlers. I'm more concerned that we host the Championship next year. Personally I'm tired of going to Maryland and North Carolina for everything.
ReplyDeleteBring it home, Lady Rattlers!
ReplyDeleteThank RN for removing that ridiculously divisive and OFF topic message. Go Blazeski, we're behind you and the Lady Rattlers. I also move to have the Volleyball Team included with the basketball teams in the new gym. After all, they are doing better than both.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you
ReplyDeleteWay to go go go go Lady Ratllers!
ReplyDeleteI agree. All the games should definitely be in the new facility.
ReplyDeleteI spoke with a couple of the team members and they said that they're practicing in the new gym.
Awesome. I want to see more events and of course, volleyball games on FAMCast. Go Rattlers.
