Lexi Rohrbach ~ Junior!!

Hi there! I'm Lexi Rohrbach and I am going to be a junior! (and yes I do feel old) Only a month until we move back into school and I am excited! I am majoring in Communication Disorders and minoring in Biology. I plan on being a speech therapist.  This summer I have just been working and working out...with a few fun things thrown in there (pictures to follow!) I work at a daycare (just like last summer) and it has made me enjoy the goofy things kids do even more! I live with my mom, brother, and my awesome dog Frankie...but I have a second set of parents (aka my aunt and uncle) that come to all our games as well.  I am really close to all of them! I am a really open person (even though I seem quiet at first) so if you want to know anything about me you can just ask! And that is about it! See you all soon!

Awwww Jackets!

I mentioned that I have done some fun things this summer, and here they are!

The first picture is me right after I finished the color run! The color run is a 5k where they throw chalk on you every "K". The second picture is the finish line when everyone throws a packet of chalk in the air.  It was a blast and I plan on doing it next year! I am also doing the mudathalon August 11th!

The third picture is me and my family at Niagara Falls.  That was our "mini-vacation" for the summer.

The fourth picture is me at the Cincinnati Zoo.  I held some birds! It was really scary because one of the birds wouldn't get off my head!

almost August :)

Hey everyone!! My name is Natalia (Tali) Simovic and I will be a junior this year! Cannot believe I am so old :( I thought high school flew by, but college is definitely flying by faster so word of advice to the freshmen, enjoy every second and cherish the time you have because these are once in a lifetime memories you"ll be making! I obviously give good advice like this because I am majoring in Psychology :) also Business as well.  I plan to earn my PhD in Psych and continue on own my own practice (the Business part) as a counseling therapist most likely specializing in Child and Family Therapy.  School part aside I am SO EXCITED to be back at school :)) I may only live half an hour away, but it is my home away from home and I can't wait to be back. This year my roommate and I Victoria, aka Lippy, last years basketball team manager, will be living in Hamilton apartments and we are also SO EXCITEDDD we are going to have a kitchen :))) yes these are the things we look forward to haha I love to cook and bake food and more importantly we both love to eat so its going to be a good time! I cannot wait to meet all the new faces and get to know everybody :) Our team really is a family and I look forward to all the time we are going to spend together and the new memories we will be making.  Well until then I will be staying busy working my glamorous job at CVS, working out, and finishing up my lovely summer classes. Can't wait to see everyone!!! :)

Hey Team!!

This is me in Romania :) 

this is my senior picture

I am Stephanie Kumler and I will be a freshman at BW this year.  Most people just call me Steph. When you all first meet me I might seem a little shy but don’t let me fool you! I love to sing and dance even though I suck at both! Just not on the court, on the court its business! I am from Jupiter, Florida. And yes, I am a HUGE heat fan, don’t hate. Now I know what your thinking, “how the heck did you find BW from Florida?” Haha well its kind of along story but the short version is I wanted to play basketball so badly and Florida has zero nice D-3 schools so I started to search. My grandparents live in Ohio and I fell in love with BW. I could not be happier with my decision thus far (you guys might have to help me through the winters though). I went to a pretty small school, I graduated with 66 kids and we were the biggest class to ever graduate from there. I am SO excited to start practicing with you all! Sorry I haven’t been able to make it to the open gyms but as you know Florida is not a quick drive away and also I have been traveling a lot this summer. In fact at this very moment I am in Targu Mures, Romania! A team of kids from my high school and I put on a summer camp for special needs and abused orphans. That leads me to my major, Early and Special Education! I absolutely love kids! Other than a little bit of travel this summer I have just been trying to stay active, working out, and eating right so I can be the best yellow jacket I can be for you guys. I have one older Brother, Josh and my parents are Jay and Tammy.  I don’t know that there is much more to tell but I CANNOT WAIT to start season and get to know you all!! 

SUMMER!!

Hey everyone!!! I'm Erin Allen and I'm going to be a freshman this year! I plan to major in Athletic Training. I live in the small town of Girard, outside of Erie.  My school's mascot is also the Yellowjackets so I am literally going to be a YellowJacket for life!! My parents are David and Kim Allen and you'll probably see them at a couple of the games.  I also have two brothers, Chris and Cody, and a sister Shannon. 
As far as summer goes, I have been very busy with work, mini family vacations and working out for basketball.  Yesterday, my family went to the Niagara Falls (the American side) and it was probably one of the coolest things I've ever done.  Tomorrow I have orientation and I am a little nervous/ excited. 

 This is one of my senior picture just so everyone gets an idea of who I am.














This picture is at the Niagara Falls. (my cousin Ayla, me, my cousin Camryn, and my sister Shannon)

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and I can't wait to meet everybody! :)

Hey guys, I'm Allyson Helleis! I'm and incoming freshman and majoring in Pre-Physical Therapy and Athletic Training. My parents are John and Patti, and I have two younger sisters Kayla and Leah. I also have two jobs, I work at Bearden's which is a family owned restaurant and Lakewood Country Club's golf shop.

My summer has been consumed with work, country concerts and working out of course! Can't forget those grad parties every weekend either haha. I have an addiction with shoes and music. I am a huge country fan but I'll listen to anything really! I just really love music in general, hence why I am saving up my tip money for a pair of beats by Dre! My tennis shoe and basketball shoes are adding up to an insane amount, but the amount of other shoes I have also is not the headiest either :) (even though I love my basketball shoes).

I am really excited for orientation and a fresh start with new people and a new team! I think my family is ready for some time away from me as am ready for some time away from them! I'm pumped to have some more independence and rely on myself and my roommate! Well that about sums it up, I couldn't figure out how to post pictures... so yeah that's about it! Thanks!

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

I have made so many wonderful friends and memories just in one year and can't wait to pick up where they left off in the fall :) summer is going super fast as always, but i can't wait to be back at school and see teammates again!!! i miss you all and I can't wait to meet the newbeeees! umm to tell you a little about myself, I am from Canton, Ohio, I am undecided STILL, I am the middle child of two sisters, I am in the Alpha Phi sorority on campus, and I also was nominated Jacket Princess by my amazing teammates this past year! :) This summer I am working at our family's rec, playing basketball, and spending time with my family and friends!

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

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.
