Blue & White Ball, 330 Ritch, & Minna

Last Saturday I attended my high school's Blue & White Ball. I believe it started in 1994 and my parents have been going ever since. The only reason I went was because they were honoring my varsity volleyball coach, Ann Stluka. I realized it's actually a great fundraiser and I'd actually want to encourage former students to attend.


I've known Stluk's since I was probably in 5th or 6th grade when my sister played for her. She retired about a year or two after I graduated high school but she's honored for her great coaching. She brought South City's team to CCS almost every year and in the 80's she brought the team to CCS championships 4 out of 5 years. One year she also brought them to win state championships. My sister, who also played for her, made it to CCS against Archbishop Mitty High School where she played against Kerri Walsh who is now an Olympic gold medalist. Stluks was also in the hall of fame at SF State, San Mateo County, and Northern California when she played.


After feeling like the youngest person there, I found so me of my teammates!


Us with Stluks and Henry. Henry was never an offical coach but he was there helping out at every practice and every game.


Stluks with some of her volleyball players from the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.


After the ball I headed out to 330 Ritch to meet up with Mikey(Orisue.com) who was in town for the weekend.

We decided to head over to Minna where it was craaaazy for some damn reason.


And right before my weekend turned bad...haha.
