Catch-up

Hello Fans!! :) Well if you didn't know last weekend we Lady Hillcats went down to Ft. Worth and played in the Cowtown Classic and I've gotta say for not having alot of opportunities to practice on the dirt we did not too bad. I thought that we hit amazingly!! Since the start of the season we have a total of 16 homeruns which is pretty legit :) Our defense has been alil like a sea-saw but it'll get better with time. There have been some costly errors at the wrong moments but I believe those will become non-existent soon. Our pitchers did really well this weekend both in the circle and at the plate. If you guys wanna know the whole story just go to the Hillcat athletic page, click softball, then read the archives. We make our home field debut this weekend (weather permitting). We're suppose to get snow tomorrow which I'm not looking forward to at all then good sunny weather Saturday and then rain on Sunday. Gotta love Oklahoma weather... Right now we're just getting ready for our games this weekend with outside practices and trying to have our field prepared for this weekend. I'll leave all ya'll with how my mind was thinking the day of our first game...It was the morning of our first game at Bacone and I had a test that morning that I didn't feel very prepared for personally. My issue was which do I give more attention, my test or first game? lol don't worry parents I focused on my test THEN put my mind on our games. And just to let you all know I passed the test with flying colors :) -Kb#13

Snow Days at RSU

So who's tired of all the snow? ME!!!! Snow makes practicing softball really hard. I think we've been outside on our field maybe like three times which kinda makes me nervous since we start season Feb. 16 which is less than a week. However, there are some benefits of snow days :) The last big snow/ice storm that hit classes got canceled Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. What was even better than that was the sledding. Some of us softball girls went out sledding here on campus. Now if you know what the campus here in Claremore looks like then you'll know there are tons of hills to sled down and if you don't know, I'm telling ya, lots and lots of hills :) We started at the soccer field and we had a trashcan lid, laundry baskets, storage lids, and this one really slick thing that I can't remember the name of; it worked the best though. We were at the soccer field for maybe about ten minutes and then we walked across campus to the big hill at the front of the school that you can see from the road. We had to go to an area away from the pond that sits at the bottom. Wouldn't have been good to have one of us sledding into that freezing cold water. Our path was between the two big trees out front and it was so much fun. I actually sled into and under one tree and got stuck there till my teammate pulled me out lol. It was so much fun. When we got back we made hot chocolate and just sat, listened to music, and just talked. Later that night some of us sat and watched a movie. It was a good day to a good snow day. But now I'm ready for some warm weather and for season to start. Oh!! By the way, baseball/softball season posters are out. They look good I must say myself :) They'll be around campus and hopefully around the community. Pray for warm weather and I'll write again soon.
