11. November 2000 We go to a Cisco ‘83 soccer tournament in Dallas, but it is shortened due to weather. Apollo repeats as 4A volleyball champions. Here’s the article from the Arizona Republic. Apollo defends 4A title Jim McCurdy Special for The Republic Nov. 5, 2000 Kristen Kuhl was looking for a way out. "Coach, are we having a party at your place?" the Apollo sophomore hitter asked. "Can we? Because I don't want to have to go to softball." This is volleyball season, and celebrations are excusable any time. Glendale Apollo has an excuse. A championship excuse. No. 4 Apollo beat No. 1 Scottsdale Chaparral, 15-13, 8-15, 15-12, Saturday at Grand Canyon University to win its second straight Class 4A state championship. "There were a lot of expectations on us because we won last year, " outside hitter Lindsey Norman said after a 22-kill outing. "As we went on, people stopped believing in us. We battled through it." And now they have something to show for it. Chaparral (28-7) took a 6-1 lead on Chelsea Wonders' kill in Game 1, but Apollo (28-6) rallied to claim a 12-9 advantage on Rachelle Lacy's ace before eventually wrapping it up. Nicole Diede, who had 25 kills, gave Chaparral an 8-3 second-game lead. Two straight kills by Norman made it 8-6, but Wonders and Casey Cornell each had a block and kill down the stretch as Chaparral sent the match to a third game. Lacy's kill put Apollo ahead 11-4 in Game 3, but Chaparral ran off the next seven points for a 12-11 lead. But Apollo closed it out with a 4-0 run punctuated by two Lacy kills. "I don't think we did anything wrong, they were just tough," Chaparral Coach Dave Mietzner said. "They've been here before." It was Chaparral's only 4A loss this year. "It's a challenge enough to come back and try to repeat because everybody wants to beat you," Apollo Coach Steve Silvernail said. "All year we talked about the character of this team. What an incredible group."

12. December 2000 Alicia has a lot of fun at a formal party at the Newman Center (in addition to a Halloween party in October). We guess this is what college is about.
