Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been getting reacquainted with my life as a student-athlete after a very much needed break from school although I spent the majority of my time at practice or doing something team affiliated. I'm not complaining though, if I could just play basketball everyday life would be a breeze. But this week consisted of pretty much readjusting to my schedule...spent a lot of time doing homework and getting ready for two big tests this upcoming week. Also, when it comes to Guilford there is no doubt I have a paper due this week. Thank goodness for Sunday off and time change! We gain an hour tonight!
Enough about my school work, onto the good stuff. Basketball practice has been really intense. We've been working extra hard in practice and it has really been paying off. Two-a-days were two-a-days...running, defense, running, and a little more defense. I did manage to get some three pointers in, which is always really fun for me. But more importantly, our team looks great and we are having a lot of fun. But, we still have a lot of stuff that we are working on to get ready for the season. We have a scrimmage in a week and hopefully our hard work will really pay off.
In lew of all our hard work on the basketball court, we did get to take a break from practice and go to the State Fair as a team. We had a lot of fun. Our freshmen decided they wanted to ride all the rides while the rest of us chose all the food instead! Ha, and it was money well spent if you ask me! There is nothing better than cotton candy, funnel cakes, and hot dogs. I'm still a little upset I didn't get my funnel cake, but it's ok. It was a good time and good team bonding for all of us. It's fun to see how the different personalities on our team blend together so well off the court. I'm not sure I've ever been on a team that has so much fun together.
I'll try to do a better job of keeping you guys up to date with all the goods of women's basketball.
