Well, it has
been awhile since my last blog. We have
played several games and we have been really busy. Right before Christmas, we played at Miami
(Ohio). They ended up beating us by four
points. It was disappointing to lose our
last game before Christmas break, but we did get to go home for about five
days. I went to my Granny's house for a
couple of days and ate her wonderful food.
After the Christmas break, our team came back and started practice
again. The first couple of practices
after Christmas are sort of tough because you are off for an extended
time. Of course, the people on our team
work out during the Christmas break so it is not as bad as it could be. ;)
Now we are
starting the conference portion of our schedule. We played UT Martin on January 5th
at their place. It was an exciting game
to say the least. We lead throughout the
game by double digits, but UT Martin made a run at the end of the game to make
it close. The game was tied with about
5.6 seconds left on the clock. Our coach
called a timeout and he drew up a play for us to run. Basically what happened was the ball was
inbounded to Jana Roney and she took a couple of dribbles and then passed me
the ball. I dribbled down the court and
took a three-point shot. I missed it and
Ashley Hayes got the rebound and put the ball in the basket with 0.1 seconds
left on the clock. The refs first waived
off the shot, but then they looked at the replay and said it was good. I am glad that our conference has replay
because if we did not then we would have gone into overtime and who knows what
would have happened.
We continue
this busy week with two more games. We
will play Tennessee State University on Thursday and Austin Peay on
Saturday. Both of these teams are
playing really well right now, so we will have to be ready to play.
Go Racers!
P.S. Sorry to our readers. The site hosting this blog went down during the month of December and we lost a few entries and pictures.
