Lizzy Ziemski is in the house...orrrr hive :-)





Hey everyone! My name is Lizzy Ziemski (Zem-skee)....everyone pronounces it wrong haha. I'm going to be a freshman this fall at BW and I plan to major in sports management....I'm super excited!

<--- Senior night game against Conneaut

I'm from a pretty small town of Jefferson, Ohio in Ashtabula County. I'm literally surrounded by cornfields and dairy farms. My house is in the middle with a basketball court on the side of the barn...hahah it's pretty sweet.

This summer I have worked a pretty insane schedule, I actually work 2 jobs. So workouts are hard to get in, but I'm doing the best I can! I can't wait to meet all of you :-)


Some things about me: I can beatbox....like make noises with your mouth....boom ba-boom kat! So if we have anyone who can freestyle, it's goin down!!!

I love basketball (duh..) and eating, sleeping, working out, music, and stuff along that line.

<--- These are my friends and I at ground Zero in NYC.





Not only am I doing basketball, but I'm also running track. My specialty is high jump. I went to state, 3 years in a row...being state-runner up for 2 of them. So I have high expectations for track too! Down below is a picture of my dad and I after state this year!! He's a pretty cool guy!


So yellow jackets, I'd say it's time for a ring, eh? I'm pretty hungry for a national championship, ya dig?!?


Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Natalia Simovic






Hey everyone! My name's Natalia and I am veryyy excited to be a freshman this year at BW! :) I plan on majoring in psychology and minoring in business. In my free time (besides basketball), I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to the movies, the beach and shopping! I am to be 100% Serbian :) haha I never like to go anywhere alone! My favorite show ever is One Tree Hill, I'm a little obsessed lol. Some others favs include pizza and salad and of course ice cream. I listen to all kinds of music and my favorite movies include The Hangover and A Walk to Rememeber. Sometimes I can be very clumsy/forgetful (I blame these traits on my mother) and I am very tall so of course my clumsiness doesn't go unnoticed haha. I look forward to meeting everyone and I think this year will be lots of fun!! Hope everyone enjoys the rest of summer ;)

JoBeth Roll




















((The pictures above are of me in front of a store called JOJO! and then a picture of all of us getting ice cream!))
Hey everybody, my name is JoBeth Roll and I will be a sophomore this coming year. I am a Communication Disorders major and a Psychology minor from, just like Katie and Olivia, the small town of Bucyrus, OH. I have been really busy this summer working out at our YMCA with my buddies (90 year old ladies on the treadmills and one guy who is training to be a UFC fighter!) Other than working out, I babysit and also work with a few young girls at our YMCA helping them improve their bball skills. I just returned from my wonderful vacation in Isle of Palms, SC!! A week of fun in the sun was just what I needed. My mom, Heidi, my dad, Todd (but affectionately called "Randy" by our team), my brother, Taylor and his girlfriend Peggy (who will both be seniors at BW next year) and my boyfriend Chris (who will also be a sophomore at BW and is also on our men's basketball team) plus my aunt, uncle and cousins all went down and stayed in a huge beach house only one block from the beach. It was amazing to relax, eat some great sea food, and spend some quality time with my family. So now I am back in Bucyrus, where the highlights are bonfires, playing tennis with friends, and...well that is about it haha. I am really excited to get back on campus and meet everyone who I haven't already met. Get excited!!
AWWW JACKETS!

Looney Tune Calhoon #21-Sophomore

Hey guys, for those who don't know me, my first name isn't important to know; you'll never hear it anyway. It's just Looney, I guess. I'm vice president of the LCM club. I'm majoring in Communication Disorders and minoring in Broadcast Communications. Like everyone, I've just been keeping busy working out, working, playing in 3 on 3 tournaments with some friends, and staying in the sun. Right now I'm sitting watching my mom dance, it's a scary sight. My mom- Elaine; Stepdad- Howie; Dad-Kim. I've got 2 brothers and a half sister. And a new family member Bernie. He's so much better looking than Catherine's cat. We've trained it to sit on command. Yep well, can't wait to head back to school. See you all so soon! She's the best boat captain anyone could ask for. And we're the 3 best friends that anyone ever could have.

Jessica Carpenter, sophomore

Hey girls, I hope everyone's summer is going good and you're having just as much fun as I am. Although my summer has been fun, I have been super busy! I work 40 hours and squeeze in my workouts, so I don't have as much free time as I did last summer. I am getting paid so that is always a plus. Anyways, my name is obviously Jessica Carpenter and I am from North Canton, Ohio (HOOVER!!) I will be a sophomore and I am very excited to come back in about a month to meet all the new freshman! I can guarantee you this season and school year will be a lot of fun and I can't wait to win a ring with this new group! If you haven't heard the latest nba gossip, lebron has moved in fact to my favorite team..MIAMI HEAT. I am the biggest dwade fan you will ever meet, and thanks to some select juniors I have to hear about the Celtics everyday and its horrible. ew. But other than that, that is all I'm gonna tell you about myself, we will be meeting soon anyways. Have a good rest of the summer and keep working hard :)

OLIVIA FRENCH

Megan Frisina- Sophomore



Above: the boat team at april reign, yikes.
last year senior Ariel Brough and I (she was having blog withdrawls so i decided to include her)
HII EVERYONE!! Soo summer is flying by. In about a month we'll all be moving into school (Findley here I come!) I can't wait to see everyone again and meet all the new Freshmen that I haven't met yet! Anyways a little about myself, My name is Megan Frisina and I am from Corry, Pennsylvania, which is about 5 miles south of a big corn field. Haha it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere but I'm about 45 miles away from Erie, Pennsylvania, home to Catherine's favorite place in the country: Waldameer park and waterworld. I am a Sport Management and Business Administration double major. I have a brother named Max who just turned 22 and subs as an aide at Corry High School and also works at Mcdonalds, which he would probably be mad at me for publicizing to everyone haha. I also have a pleasantly plump dog named Butterscotch, who is 15 so she is allowed to eat whatever she wants (She's been eating whatever she wants all her life, but at least now we have an excuse haha). This summer I work as an umpire for the little league and referee for summer basketball camps, so i get yelled at alot, and of course spend alot of time at the Corry YMCA. Today I shared the gym with about 50 little kids who thought my sprints would be alot more fun if I had to dodge them as i ran. Needless to say the Y will be sorely missed once school starts back up. Hope everyone has a great summer and see you in the fall!! AWW JACKETS

hello out there......




Hi everyone....... i bet everyone is enjoying those lovely workouts as much as i am..... my name is Katie and ill be a Junior! I am completely forgetful (like i would have forgotten to blog if Amanda Schroeder) I am the most random and crazy person that you may ever meet. i have no problem being up close and personal with anyone and i love to talk so watch out. I tend to tell stories more than once and and confused quite often. I work for safety and security on campus so watch out! So far this summer i have done nothing but work..... i work from 7-3 then bail hay from 4 to about 10. Other teammates enjoy making fun of me because i live on the middle of no where Bucyrus Ohio and for some reason want to attend a family cookout which i find odd. I love kids as you may find out when the whole Strickland clan is at our games. well i hope to see everyone soon and i need to save my little typing fingers for all the papers we will have to type :-) have a good rest of the summer.
The first picture is of me and my two best friends
the second is me and my boyfriend (my cousin)

Monica Gustin-Junior?

Hi everyone! Happy birthday America! In Bexley we just celebrated the fourth/5-6? I'm not sure why but apparently Bexlians wanted to be fashoinably late. So what's going on this summer? What is going on is that the workouts we are doing are hard (Shoutout to Geno, if you read this hook me up with final four tickets!). What isn't going on is the times we have to finish our sprints in, yikes. What else is going on- LeBron is in a media frenzy. What isn't going on- him moving from Cleveland. "Royalty rhymes with Loyalty", ok 'Bron, find out what rhymes with winning... The Celtics will still win eastern conference alll dayyy.
Anyways I dont have a picture so im trying to fill space :)
My name is Monica Gustin and I'll be a junior yellowjacket. I live in Bexley, Oho-ten minutes from downtown columbus. I have a younger brother Marcus who will be a SENIOR at BHS, go lions. He plays soccer and basketball. He plays basketball for my dad, Dave who is the head coach at bexley. My mom, Beth, calls him the head basketcase. Right now they are on this home improvement kick, so it's getting dusty.
This summer I have been working at Marcella's Italian Kitchen "Hi! How many are dining with you tonight :D", and doing marketing promotions for companies around Columbus, "Would you like to try some chips today :D!" Also the best movie this summer just came out, Eclipse. It was amazing. Even better was the Harry Potter preview!! I can't wait for the premiere. Today I am going to get my horizontal license, so I'm pretty excited about that! I can't wait to get back at BW and meet everyone and see everyone! Have a safe and fun rest of the summer everyone!

Living the dream...everyday...here at BW!!












Hey Everyone! I told Coach that I would put up some of the pictures from the past week from our Summer Basketball Camp. We had girls ranging from 3rd grade to 8th grade come for our 4 day camp. We worked on skills, playing 3 on 3, some intense games of BLOB, basketball golf ( my team the Chocolate Monkeys were the champions!) and some great ball friendly drills! Six of us worked the camp this past week : Sophomores Megan Frisina, Jen the "Loon" Calhoon, Rachel Rossman, and me JoBeth Roll and also two new Froshies Kristen Troyer and Lexi Rohrbach! The sophomores attended the midnight showing of Twilight which was great (Go team Jacob!) Haha and then Wednesday night all 6 of us went to watch the Indians actually win a game! Hah, we managed to get ourselves some really great seats and even get on TV!!! All in all it was a great week being back at BW. We all even did our workouts together which is a lot better than my usual workout partners (My 90 year old friends at our YMCA hah). Hope everyone is working hard in the off season so we can all be in shape for boot camp!!
