THE BALDWIN WALLACE

     Hey everyone! As many of you know we won our first tournament in Franklin, Indiana a few weeks ago, and I think everyone could say we are all very excited for our first conference game coming up against Ohio Northern University on December 5th! The seniors have been so great this year and we are all ready to work our butts off and get them a conference title and ring! :)
   
   Although we love our seniors, some of the freshmen (Janaya, Shekiera, and Alissa) including myself, started a prank war with them! We toilet papered their house, duct taped their doors shut, wrote on their windows, and wrote and toilet papered all over Rachel's car! Then we went out to dinner one night and decided to prank them again, and knocked on their windows and doors to scare them and boy did it work... We could hear Jess screaming! The seniors have yet to retaliate, so all of us are a little bit on edge. Needless to say the freshmen squad is winning this prank war against the seniors 2-0 baby!
   
   The semester is ending which means finals, papers, and project are all piling up, but this also means Christmas break!!! The next two weeks are going to be stressful, but I am counting down the days until we get to have a month away from school and just get to hang out with the team and play basketball! :)

AWWW JACKETS!

Champions of the WORLD

Howdy followers!

As most of you already know, we traveled to Franklin College in Indiana this past weekend for their Tip-Off Classic. Our first opponent was Ohio Wesleyan and obviously, we won. The following day we then played Franklin for the championship and man was that an ugly win! A win is a win though! In between games Coach Campbell took a bus load of us shopping at the outlet malls just a few miles away and I think everybody left with atleast one or two bags! I think Amber took the award for most things bought and she was basically in one store the entire time! I havenever seen someone soooo excited to be in a Nike Outlet store before. Our student coach, Jon, and coach Bailey even went and had a little man date on their own. Even though we didn't get stuck on the minibus this year, it was probably as bad if not worse than last year. The 6 hour bus rides truly make you go a little bit insane. The things that go on on the bus probably aren't what a normal team does, but hey, that's what makes this team so enjoyable and fun to be around! Whether it be the Ipod game, peanut butter challenge, Rachel crawling through the storage things on top of the bus or wathcing Magic Mike, this team always manages to find fun in everything we do!

Tonight we travel to Case for our third game of the year searching for that perfect 3 and 0 record! Hope everyone can make it out! Enjoy your Thanksgiving and your time with your loved ones!! Gobble Gobble

The Season is Almost Here!

Hey everyone! The season is starting in less than a week and we begin by traveling to Indiana for our first tournament! I can't believe how fast this year is going we're almost done with one semester already and it feels like I just came here yesterday. We have worked so hard to get where we're at right now and it has payed off in our last two scrimmages because we played well together and won against Tiffin and Notre Dame. I'm so excited for the regular season to start and can't wait for us to do amazing this year because I know we will perform well and we can only get better as the season continues. The talent and chemistry on this team is awesome I couldn't have asked for a better team or a better group of friends. :) I'm looking forward to a great season and we're going to perform our best for the seniors this year because this season is for them.
Awww Jackets!

The Hive is Buzzinggggg

Hi there! It's getting to be that time of the year again! The preseason is done, our scrimmages are done, and we are working hard in practice to get ready for our first tournament in Indiana! (T-11 days) This week has been interesting with Hurricane Sandy hitting campus hard.  We didn't have class for 4 days, and we practiced in the dark! I am just glad that everyone here got by rather unscathed. I am really excited for games to start so we can show everyone just how hard we have been working! Andddd that's all I have for now! Time to go to bed so I get some sleep before my test tomorrow (medical terminology...woo!)

Oh, and here's a lovely picture of some of the team cleaning up the stadium after a football game. Aren't our ponchos awesome??


AWWWWW JACKETS!

2 and 0 Baby!

 Hello JacketNation,
   I know I was totally supposed to blog a solid two weeks ago, but I was just waiting until there was lots to talk about, ya know? So practices have started out pretty amazing, and we are now about 11 practices in. 2 of which were in the dark, compliments of Hurricane Sandy.  I propose routine practices in the dark, because we did sweeeeeet at our scrimmages! A wise man once said, "If you can catch a ball in the dark, you are going to be Michael Jordan in the light". Or something like that.  So yes, last Thursday we traveled out to Tiffin for Game 1.  I know, its only technically a scrimmage but we are valuing every minute of playing time this year as though it is a national championship. The dragons have handed it to us for the past two years I've been here, but Thursday they had no clue what hit them.   Everyone coming together even though we have been taken out of post-season play, it was a great feeling.  It really just enforced the fact that we are going to have a remarkable year, no matter what anyone on the outside tries to do! The momentum carried over to Sunday night's scrimmage (Game 2) vs Notre Dame College.  It was a close game for a while, but eventually NDC couldn't keep up. Meltdown baby, meltdown.
   Our competitive spirit and love of the game and each other has already carried us over the breaking point. We had a decision: fall apart or play every game as hard as possible. I think its pretty clear which one we chose.

The power is back!

We were lucky enough last week to not have classes Tuesday through Friday due to the massive storm! I hope everyone was able to stay safe, warm, and dry. Everyone finally has power on campus and we are back to going to classes. I absolutely love walking to classes in the fall (minus the cold). The trees and leaves are beautiful and the apple cider is icing on the cake. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying BW so far :) The team chemistry we have this year is amazing and I am so proud of how far we have come in just a few weeks.
Our first game is next week.....time flies!! I'm so excited for the freshman because when I was a freshman (just last year) traveling was one of my favorite things about this team. We travel a number of times this year and I am looking forward to the trips :) Shout-out to the seniors Rachel, Jess, Megan, Nancy, and Amber! I cannot wait to be the best that we can be this year for you guys.
Stay classy!
