Pink was the color of choice Thursday evening, as both the Lady Patriots of C.B. East and Lady Bucks of C.B. West donned pink uniforms in honor of the evening’s very special “Dig Pink” breast cancer fundraiser. Pink balloons… a pink bicycle… lots of pink M&M candy… team members wearing pink socks and fashion accessories… pink was THE color! Even pink volleyballs were used for the match in which the Lady Patriots tallied a 3-0 sweep over their C.B. West cross-town rivals.
Here are 12 of our favorite image highlights from Thursday night’s East vs. West ladies volleyball competition. And by popular request, our sports event blog images will now include captions underneath each image whenever possible and as our schedule permits — beginning with this post.
