I apologize for not blogging that much this season. It's so crazy how fast season has come and now it's almost over. With it being my senior year, I have been trying to just soak it all in. This year couldn't have started any better. We went on a 31-0 start and peeked our ranking at 3rd in the nation. But, we eventually got our first loss in Alabama against the University of Mobile. It was a tough loss, but it definitely made us stronger and pushed us to keep moving forward. We finally got into conference play and got the sweeps against USAO and Mid-America University. Lubbock was next, and we knew we had to show up with our best games. We couldn't pull the wins out but it wasn't stopping us. We have had a couple of down falls since then but I know my team and were not done. We have come along ways from being on top to having to work our way back from the bottom. Every team has their trials and were trying to work through ours now. We are currently ranked 19th in the nation and have a record of 38-11.
I couldn't have asked for a better team to finish out my senior year with. This group of girls have made my senior year the best. I"m sad to see it go so fast. But, there are a lot of games left and that means more wins to pick up. With a little over 3 weeks left of season I would like to thank my team for making my senior year an amazing year to go out on. From the start my motto was "going out with a bang!" and that's exactly what were doing. We have accomplished so much this year, and were not done. These next couple of weeks have a lot in store for us. Senior night against Oklahoma City, then to their place for two more games, and then conference tournament. After that we are hoping to get a bid to go to regionals, which is the next step closer to nationals.
Thank you for all the cheers and support. Without our friends, family, and our biggest fans we wouldn't be where we are today.
