Volleyball and RE athletics dig pink

Ransom Everglades girls' volleyball teams donned pink jerseys for their annual Dig Pink matches with neighborhood rival Carrollton on Sept. 30. Dig Pink games for years have brought awareness to breast cancer while uniting the two communities in an effort to fight the disease on the eve of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
After middle-school matches in the afternoon, RE's junior varsity topped Carrollton 2-0 and the varsity won, 3-2. RE's swimming teams will continue the Dig Pink tradition at Carrollton at their Oct. 5 meet, wearing pink swim caps. 

Throughout the month of October, RE's sports teams will add pink elements to their uniforms, and donations for breast cancer research will be sought during all home contests.
 
The varsity volleyball match highlighted the return of coach Mauricio Diaz. The RE community rallied around Diaz last fall, holding its own version of Dig Pink to support him while he received treatment for a brain tumor. Diaz, now in remission and the assistant volleyball coach under Roger Peluso, was honored last spring by the Miami Herald; he received the prestigious Leo Suarez/Walter Kreitsch Courage Award.
