Happy Halloween lil Jackets

I promise you can never be too old to trick or treat. Rachel Rossman and I just brought out our inner child and filled our pillow cases to da top. We've got candy for the rest of the school year and I'm so excited! As Jobeth mentioned, we had our intrasquad scrimmage which was fun and exciting! Especially welcoming the newbies. We have great talent and strong hearts and I cannot wait til we play!
I hope everyone had a safe and fun Holiday and we'll see you in the season!

Happy Halloween!!

Hey everyone! So this week the hive has really been buzzing! We had our annual "Brown and Gold Game" on Saturday. It is a tradition to split into 2 teams and have our own inner squad scrimmage. Our parents and families come up to watch what we've been learning and then everyone gets to introduce their families. It's a great way to meet the faces that we'll be seeing all year in the stands!! The game was close the whole way but the Brown team (which I was on!) came out on top. So we had 24 hours of bragging rights. Then we all got dressed up and celebrated Halloween! We had a cheerleader, a ninja turtle, fireman, Tom Cruise lol, nerd, sailor, Minnie Mouse, Pepper Anne, a yellow crayon, a prisoner, an indian, and even static cling lol. It was hilarious to see everyone dressed up! Well we have today off and then its back to the court to get ready for our first scrimmage against Tiffin University on Wednesday! The Tiffin Dragons better look out cuz these yellow jackets are ready to swarm!!!
AWWWW Jackets!

6 practices down, 20 to go!

We've had a great first week of practice and I cannot wait til our first game against Wittenburg in 27 days! So far at practices everyone has been learning a lot and trying their hardest! Our intrasquad scrimmage is already next saturday, and i don't know about everyone else but i'm ready for it now. Next week is going to be extremely busy for me...i have three big tests and a 7 page rough draft due. But great news last night Hocus Pocus was on abc family for 13 days of halloween and it was the highlight of my week! I guess thats all for now...have a great rest of the week jackets!!

YEAR 3 DAY 1

Good evening fellow yellow jackets and fans,

We just got done with our first two a day. What a treat Coach had in stored for us this past afternoon. First of all I  loved loved loved the FORTY burpees we did. I looked like a beached whale having a heart attack while doing them, but they will only help us down the road. I am positive no other team in the nation had the pleasure of doing those. Along with all the running and other really fun conditioning drills, we learned our basic offense and defense fundamentals. I am super excited for what the season brings. So far everyone has had so much enthusiasm and is really giving it their all.  Besides basketball beginning, we just had gotten back from fall break. I spent my fall break with my lovely family and my beautiful, precious kitty Sunshine. She is the best kitty in the whole wide world & I really wish she could move in with me at Hammytime. I finally got the chance to watch my brother perform in  the band at the football game friday night. The very next day his band made it to state :) I also had a bachelorette party for one of my good friends, who is getting married next saturday. I am so excited for the next couple months. Can't wait to get to practice tomorrow, I should of just slept in the gym.. bahahah : )

Hey everyone...so we just finished with our very first practice of the season and decided to put my schedule up in my room and realized it was my week to blog and figured i might as well now before i forget. Anyway so far this semester has flew by so fast i can't believe we have a game in less then a month! This past week we did a team bonding session called colors which was really fun seeing where everybody ended up and getting to learn about each other in ways we probably might not of noticed, and learning how we can use that to make our team even closer. Most of us went home this weekend since it was fall break, including me I went home friday and picked my daddy up on the way. As some of you may know he had surgery thursday and it went really well and now he just has chemotherapy to do so it's looking really good now, thank you everyone for keeping him in your prayers you guys have been amazing with everything it has helped me so much! It shows me how great of teammates i have! Hope you all had a wonderful fall break as well, and i will be seeing you in about an hour for practice #2!

Love you all,

Lippy!

The season is almost here..... :)

Well we've been at BW for almost two months now and the weeks keep going by faster and faster! I can't believe our season officially starts this Sunday! 3 more days!! Everyone is super excited that conditioning is now over and the real fun is beginning! Our team worked so hard in preseason workouts and I can tell everyone is motivated and ready for the season to start. We have fall break this week so no classes tomorrow, which is great! School is getting busier and busier with midterm exams right now, so that's not too much fun. We had a team bonding activity Tuesday night which was pretty cool. It was a personality test that described your personality with colors. I think it helped us get to know and understand each other better, so that was fun. :) Oh Catherine, Megan, and I had a wonderful time studying together last night at Cat's apartment. (more like being creepy and googling people) :) haha it's sooo fun to be a yellowjacket!! Well I'm heading to Columbus to watch my little brother kick some butt at State for Golf...last weekend with the family for a while so it should be a good time.

AAAWWWWW JACKETS!!!

Hey hey hey.
I'm a little late too on this but better late than never. Today was the last day of 6 a.m. conditioning!!!! Woot woot. I'm just happy my eye isn't grottie anymore. That was terrible. Not to mention other people who are getting sick :( hopefully all of us that aren't feeling so good will get better soon! School is getting a little tougher and I'm sure everyone has been busy busy busy. My friend asked me how long we have been up here and I realized that we have all been here for almost two months already! Time is flying and season starts in less than a week. I'm really excited and a little nervous, but the good kind of nervous... It's hard to know what all to expect. Hopefully we can all finish strong on Wednesday and stay healthy! :) Love ya Jackets.

So I know i'm a little late writing this but i've been sooo busy with school and basketball everyday of the week besides weekends ha. We're already on the seventh week of school, its hard to believe but playing basketball i think has made it go by so fast. In less than a week we officially start practice and say goodbye to conditioning and i think everyone will be happy about that i know i will. This past weekend i went home so i missed broth returning back to the hive :(. But i attended my family reunion down in yellow springs, oh such a great place and even though it was cold and started to rain it was fun to see everybody that i haven't seen for years or so, its always good being able to go home. I came back to the most amzing roommate ever ali :) and she cleaned the room while i was gone which was really nice of her thank you!. its always a good time in 107b ha. but school is going great i went to maya for one of my classes that was delicious lol and the weekends here at bw are going great and can't wait for halloween!! love october! and the movies that come on this month. Being a yellowjacket is amazing!.. happy halloween to everyone in advance

TIMEE IS FLYINGGG!!

Hello Everyone!!
Like I said, time is certainly flying by very fast. I realized that including today, we only have 5 more conditioning sessions left and approximately 13 days until our first practice! That is amazing. I am personally super excited for this season and I can tell everyone else is as well by how hard everyone is working in conditioning and open gym. Last Wednesday, Coach Campbell put us through an intense spinning workout, and on Friday we had our swimming workout which is always fun!
Lastly classes are going good, almost time for mini B and I get to add two more classes to my schedule...yay! Also, I love living in an apartment this year!! It is sooooo nice having my own bathroom along with it is having a kitchen to cook in! Of course, the living room is completely decorated in batman, I LOVE BATMAN. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well in classes and having fun so far!
GO JACKETS!
