Tis the Season

It's spring time..you know what that means, FUN. Unfortunately, spring break is over already, but nonetheless it was awesome. I got to sleep in every single day and was stress free of school work. This past Monday we had our first open gym. It was so nice to play with the girls again and start working towards what we want next year's team to accomplish. We had enough for 3 teams and everyone played hard, what a great way to start off the 2011-12 season :)

St. Patty's Day is tomorrow and I think it is safe to say we have one particular girl who will celebrate..Megan Frisina. I don't know for sure if she is Irish, but she has red hair. Hopefully this holiday wil do her well! Speaking of holidays, April Reign is only a month away and not to mention my birthday falls on that Saturday. I am so excited to compete as are all the GDI girls. We plan to make a better appearance this year.. #winning is our goal. So the practices begin, not screwing around ladies, let's get to work.

However with all this fun we have planned for spring semester, I can tell our team is still focused on getting better for next year. I've seen most of the girls in the rec center working out and keeping in shape. It is nice to know how much each player cares about this program and what they are willing to do... it takes a little more to be a yellow jacket right?

SPRING!!

Well unfortunately our season ended early this year, with a loss in the first round of the OAC tournament. I just want to tell the seniors Amanda and Ali, thank you for being great leaders this year and for all the hard work that they put in for our program. It really takes a lot of character to play college basketball for four years, to be a yellow jacket, and to do it well! It was great to get to play with the both of you. :)
On the other hand, spring is coming!! I will be very excited when the sun continues to shine and melt all the snow away. Spring break is next week and I can not wait for the break to go home and see my family! Also, for those of you wondering, my rehab is going fantastic and I am continuing to work hard so I can be 100 percent!
Everyone keep working hard on their school work, hang in there we are almost done!
