First Blog YAHOOOO! :D

Well. I accidently just deleted my blog which I was about to post so I'm going to start again! Hello! I'm eiter a day late or a few weeks early since there is both an Ally and an Allyson... which I am both. So! Hi, my name is Ally Dehart. I'm from a small town called Beaver, Pennsylvania which is about 40 minutes north of Pittsburgh. So, as you may have guessed, I am a die hard Steelers fan. GO STEELERSSS!!!!! Hmmm.... some other stuff about me. My parents are Bryan and Jill Dehart and I also have an older sister Amanda. And I'm sure you all will find out when you meet me... I absolutely LOVE my cat. Her name is Lucille Carmella Bell Dehart, or Lucy for short. I'm kind of a cat lady in the making. =^.^= <--cat. Kind of. But anyways! Hmmmm. I'm very ecxcited to start college in the fall! I have my orientation the last weekend in June so I'll get to be up there and finally get a roommate and FINALLY get some Baldwin-Wallace garb to rep! I'm not sure what I'm going to major in yet but I think I'm deciding between either speech pathology or physical therapy. I tore my ACL my junior basketball season so I guess you could say I have some experience with physical therapy.... BOOOOO :( but all better :]Gosh what else. Well. I feel like I'm rambling so I'm gonna have to wrap this bad boy up. I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody again and to meeting those who I haven't met yet! Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your summer. P.S. I'm not very good at using this here thing. I'm going to attempt to post pictures on here. This is how I accidently delted my first blog thing though so I hope it all works out. One picture is of me, my mom, my sister, and my darling cat Lucille. I want everybody to see how precious she is :] The next is just going to be one of my senior pictures so you know who I am. haha. okay. So here it goes! Thank you for your time! I hope it works........................... ohmygosh it's not working....
okay there are a bunch of randon letters and numbers and symbols and stuff all smooshed together... hpefully that turns into pictures when this thing is done...

Megan's last summer blog everrrrrrrrrr :'(

HHIIII!!! This is my favorite time of the year! No, not because it's summer and nice out and we don't have school, but because everyone is blogging!!! I'm a little late on my blog because my computer hasn't been working in my apartment so I had to wait and jack my roommates computer while she isn't here. Thanks Jo! Anyways, my name is Megan Frisina and I will be a senior this year. I remember when I did my first blog as a freshman and I was so nervous that everyone was going to think I was a big weirdo, only to realize later that they would figure that out anyways within a week. It's three years later though and everything seems to have turned out OK. Last year I did a video blog but considering it's 7:30 on a Sunday and I haven't gotten off my couch all day I figured I would spare everyone. Soo let's see.. I am originally from Corry, PA which is a really small town, but I'm living in Berea for the summer, which is also a really small town, but bigger than Corry. Also my apartment has a pool so everyone is welcome to come swim whenever! I'm only allowed to have two guests at a time though so team swimming parties would probably consist of three people swimming and everyone else sitting outside the fence watching, which sounds like lots of fun I know. I have an internship this summer working at Camp Cheerful running adapted sports camps for kids with special needs. I am a Sport Management and Business Administration double major, and I just got back from a two week trip to Ireland and England studying abroad with a Global Sports Industry program. It was the most amazing/exhausting experiences of my life!! I learned a lot more than I expected to and had a blast. I was a little disappointed that I didn't pick up a sweet accent in the two weeks that I was there, but you can't get everything I guess. I definitely recommend doing a two week study abroad trip to everyone if you get the chance. Returners, I can't wait to see you all again and freshmen, get ready to have a ton of fun over the next four years. The time will fly, but there will never be a dull moment. See you guys soon!!!!!!! AWWWWWJACKETS Megan Frisina #4

Hello to all my favorite yellow jackets and all the new baby yellow jackets coming in! :) My name is Jessica Lairson. But if you hear everyone call me Larry, that is also me. I am going to be a junior this year. I can't believe i am already half-way through college as an undergrad! It feels like just yesterday I moved onto campus and met all the new people that have become some of my greatest friends ever :) I'm a neuroscience-chemistry major, so I am surprisingly a huge nerd. I am from Louisville, Ohio. And yes its actually pronounced "Lewisville", not like the one in Kentucky. Its a small town between Alliance and Canton, about an hour and 15 away. That's where my momma and my younger sister and two younger brothers live. I also half an older brother, a step-brother, and a half-brother who all live in Mentor, OH. This summer I am actually working in the admissions office up here at school and taking classes at tri-c and I absolutely love being on campus all summer and getting to see the basketball girls more often. I can't wait to get to meet all of you. We have some serious potential from losing only 1 senior last year. I hope you all are enjoying your summers and see ya at open gym! :D (Me and Jess Carpenter)>> -Larry #3

soakin' up the sun

hiiii everyone ! summer is obviously in full affect and the sunshine has been wonderful. hopefully everyone is enjoying the break from classes and having a great summer. okay so first, my name is jenna. I will be a sophomore next year. I have a double major in accounting and human resources, which is going very well so far. I'm an only child and I attended high school at pickerington north which is just east of columbus. My two biggest supporters would be my loving parents :) dave and becky. I'm sure you'll be seeing their faces at our games.

currently, my summer has been filled with working out, working, summer class, and some lazy days by the pool.. so not much to complain about. i miss my teammates so much and am looking forward to seeing them again during the team camp :) and I'm also looking forward to meeting the new freshman so I'll be sure to introduce myself if we haven't already met!

She goes to almost every game and is pretty cool. My parents are Mark and Mary. You can spot out my dad in the crowd once you hear someone calling the ref a potato head; he is pretty harsh. My mom and dad are die hard fans so they will be at every single game! Butttt this summer i'm painting in an apartment complex by school so my arms will probably be huge by august. Other than that i just work out and hangout with my friends. I'm excited to meet all the newcomers and get to know everyone :) Enjoy your summer!!! AWWWW JACKETS! Rachel #10 (Me, Megan, Jen, Jess)

SUMMER ALREADY?!

Heeeeey everyone! I can't believe it is already summer. I feel like just yesterday I was at orientation! I am SERIOUSLY missing the girls from the team already! I have just been chilling with my friends, I just got a job at my mother's company as a temp, and along with basketball workouts I have started p90x! If you don't know or haven't tried p90x I RECOMMEND IT! It has been kicking my butt! I'm currently listening to CALLMEMAYBE- aka my jam. I don't know why I like it but im sure none of you are judging me.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Megan Pillsbury but you may forget my first name quickly. I am going to be a sophomore and I am currently majoring in Digital Media and Design. I have been thinking about switching to a Public Relations major so we will see what this year holds! I think public relations would be good because as my teammates already know, I am not shy. :) Soooooo.. I went to the zoo today with my mother, janice. It was lovely! The picture is me in the rain forest! wooo! Alright well dinner is calling my name, a healthy one ofcourse ;) I can't wait to see everyone again at the next open gym and I'm beyond stoked to meet all the freshmen! If any of the new ladies need me for anything or have any questions at all, don't be shy. You can look me up on FB or shoot me a text! 9373440996 BYEEEEEE #awwwwjackets

SUMMER!!

Hello Everyone! I cannot believe another year has passed, and graduation was today. The graduation ceremony was amazing and very touching. Seeing friends receive their diplomas and move to the next step in their life is very bittersweet. In addition our outstanding President, Dick Durst is retiring therefore giving his last commencement today. You are wished all the best in West Virginia and better come back and visit every once in a while! I know everyone will miss you and Karen dearly but remember.... you will always be a Yellow Jacket For Life!! (YJ4L).

Next I will start the introductions! If you don’t already know my name is Nancy Coulter and I will be a fifth year senior because of my double major of Health and Physical Education. I am able to play basketball my fifth year because I tore my second ACL, (left knee) my junior year and was able to red shirt the year. My first ACL tear was freshman year of high school (right knee). I am from Washington Court House, Ohio and this summer I will be working again at Domtar. Domtar is a "paper factory" we make printer paper and envelopes for staples, office depot, and so on. It is also 12 hour shifts, but the people help you get through the long hours. So for any of the new incoming freshman if you do not see me at open gyms or the camps that is why, I work a lot and BW is 3 hours away! However, I wish I was with you all instead :) Anyways, I have one younger sister Morgan who is 15 yrs and an awesome mother Patty. I love spending time with my family and friends, being active outside, and working hard to stay in shape! I am really, really excited to meet all the newcomers soon! I wish everyone the best for the summer and that everyone works hard to make our team even stronger for next season.

My sister Morgan and I.

Banquet 2012

Tonight was our banquet, and aside from the video, the juniors talking about the senior(s) and the senior speech are the highlights.

Brother team

So basketball has slowed way down, but that doesn't mean we aren't still doing things as a team.  Our athletic department brother team is baseball, so we braved the weather and supported the guys.  Unfortunately our signs ended up blowing away in the wind, but it is always fun when our team is together. On another note, our banquet is coming up this Sunday and everyone is anxious for the unveiling of this year's highlight video. It always seems to bring a lot of laughter (it's mostly off the court highlights!) :)
Coach

I can NOT believe it is almost April and my first year at BW is about to come to an end! My freshman year has flown by! I can honestly say I have loved every second of being here, but of course I am ready for summer :) The is back to good old Ohio weather and very chilly. I have been sick for the past week because of it, so I have not had a sense of smell and am missing out on the great smell of these Berea trees apparently. Open gyms have been gong great so far, it's nice to be back together with the team. St. Patrick's Day was a blast, a group of the team went down to the parade together and some go the girls that are not from around here got to see how crazy it really was with so many people in downtown. School is going good, I have been taking a lot more naps since bball ended :p ooops! I've also been loving march madness. I think Kentucky is going to win it all. Currently Justin Bieber's new single came out last night at midnight, and I have been listening to it non- stop, even while typing this entire bling #BIEBERFEVER hehe :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
