Homecoming!

Hey Hillcats fans!

This past weekend was Homecoming. Throughout the week before there was a ton of activities to do around campus. We had the Fauxsino, which is a night we get to act like real big spenders and gamble the night away. We also had the Hillcat Hacker, one of my favorite homecoming activities, which is a fundraiser golf tournament where we turn the whole campus ground into a golf course. Friday night we had a bonfire on campus and they introduced all the basketball players. We got to eat lots of food and had a great night of socializing. Saturday was game day. Girls played first and played a great game, but didn't quite have enough to get the win. As for the boys, that's a different story. They pretty much stomped their opponent with a 65 point win.

On a sad note, this past weekend the Hillcat family lost a member of their family. Tyler Brown, a sophomore on the baseball team, had a car accident late Friday night. Tyler went 6-0 last year as a freshman and closed the game for the Hillcats in the SAC Tournament last year to get the win. Tyler was a great person inside and out with a great attitude about life. I am so grateful to have know him and be a little part of his life. Tyler will be a great loss to this Hillcat family. He will be truly missed! RIP TB23

No Days Off!

Hey Hillcat fans!

I know everyone has been a little shaken up by the earthquakes around the Oklahoma area, but those really are not even earthquakes. Your Hillcat softball team has been working so hard through the five weeks of 6am workouts and swimming that when we hit in the cage it sends a HUGE vibration through the state. But, all we're doing is sending a message to the rest of the SAC that the RSU Hillcats are getting ready for that National Championship! Let's just say those were our warning shots.
Honestly, the girls and I have been working so hard, getting stronger and faster. I can not wait 'til season. The rough part is going to be the breaks that are approaching very soon. Christmas break is about a month long, and that is a long time away from the girls and the daily routines we do everyday. But, I know my team and, as dedicated as they are to the team and the game, they will not let a break stop them from working hard and getting better. No Days Off!
So the next time you feel an "earthquake," just know that it is your Hillcats Softball team hitting the cages.
