Summer!!!

Hey everyone!

I am a little late on posting because my family has been in town all last week for my sister's graduation party! So it's been slightly hectic just ask Pup (Ally Dehart), she came up for the party and got to meet everyone!

Well my name is Erin Allen.  I am going to be a sophomore this year, which feels extremely weird. I am from the small town of Girard in Pennsylvania.  I have spent most of my summer working at the lovely fruit farm and working out preparing for this upcoming season.  I am so excited to head back to school and start playing with the entire team!  This year is about to be the best yet.

We just had our first open gym with the whole team this past Sunday and it was a lot of fun seeing everyone and meeting the new freshman.  I am excited to get to know them and hang out with the rest of the team again.  Playing with everyone again reminds me how great this year is about to be, the OAC better watch out!

Well I hope everyone's having a great summer! Love ya!  Erin Allen #14

They call me Mari Shangas

Howdy y'all!

I apologize for the delay between posts, I just got back from a nice little vacation to paradise (Wrightsville Beach) in North Carolina. I must say, the beach life is just a tad bit better than the Berea life. Sunny and 90+ degrees everyday and none of the 85 degrees one day and 40 the next weather that Ohio is infamous for. I went down with a group of my friends and we stayed on a resort that was right on the beach and right down the road was Michel Jordon's mom's house; it was Pink. It actually wasn't really a house, instead it was a small castle.

Anyways, the name is actually Shari Mangas and not Mari. It all started with Coach Campbell switching the first letters of my first and last name around Shari=Mari and Mangas=Shangas. It started as a joke but as the season progressed, it actually started to stick. Another team favorite was Sam.. she turned into Hammy. Some people it didn't really work out for; like Rachel. She stayed Rachel. Boring life, I know :) I will be a Junior this year and can officially say that I am an upperclassman and feel old as dirt already. I am a Sport Management and Business major. I'm from the littlest town in NW Ohio called Leipsic and it's about a 3 three drive from BW. Though, I am staying up here this summer with Tali (Natalia #15) and two other of our friends. It feels good to be living on my own but paying bills is something that I will NEVER like or get used to. I "work" at the school doing stadium crew/maintenance odds and ends. Basically, Al (Allyson Helleis), Sam (Sam Hamar aka Hammy) and I mow lawns, listen to music and get our farmers tans on and get paid for it.

Summer has consisted of work, working out and playing/beating up on random teams. Every Thursday a group of us go to Brunswick's rec league and play. There are a few Mount players that go as well so we take it more seriously than we probably should but it is always nice beating Mount players 77-37 (true score). We also have gone to NDC and Walsh and played pretty well even missing half the team. Needless to say, we are about to run it next year and I know I can't wait for all of the new Freshman to come in and help us do just that!!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and working on those skills so we can go get those rings this year!! After all, championships can't be won in the offseason but they can definitely be lost. Be safe, have fun and stay classy my friends!

happy summer!! :)

Hey everyone!

Hope everybody is having a great start to their summer! Such a bummer that the weather is has been so yucky :( Well enough small talk, my name is Natalia Simovic and this year I will be a senior :((((( so hard to believe. I am a  double major in Psychology and Business Administration so I have my hands full my last semester trying to finish up all my classes. Like last summer, I am again taking summer classes online :( and working full time at a business/marketing internship for a law firm downtown. My summer so far has consisted of working, eating, classes, working out, eating, sleeping, eating, and repeat! I look forward to meeting our freshmen class and getting this season going! To the freshmen: enjoy your selves this summer, and during the school year, time really does fly and before you know it you're a grandma/senior like me :(

Have a great June everybody!!!

Hey Hey Hey it's summer time!!!

Let me just start off with, freshman- don't blink, I cannot believe how fast my first year went!! seems like just the other day I was stressing about what I was going to write in my first summer blog...now it is literally a year later. Wow. anyway I am Steph! I will be a sophomore and I am from Jupiter, FL. I am newly a public relations major and I absolutely loved my first year at BW. My summer has been great so far. I have just been hanging out with my friends and family, I dreaded my hair, I am a nanny for a one month old, and I have been watching the Heat dominate (which is always a blast!!). But my summer is about to change! I have an internship in Romania, putting on summer camps for special needs and abused orphans. So I leave sunday to got to Dallas for a few days of training and then strait to Romania.  I will be there for two months, needless to say, sadly I wont be at any of the open gyms this summer. But I will miss you all so very much! I actually have a blog I will be updating about my trip all summer and I would love it if you guys would follow along (but no pressure).You can find it at: His-children-Romania2013.blogspot.com 

I am so excited to see what God has in store for us next season!! It is about to be insane!! I hope you all are having an amazing summer!! I can not wait to meet all the new freshman and see all of the rest of you again! Be safe and keep working hard!
