The 'Belles went 1-1 this weekend in Austin. We played terrible againt Incarnate Word. They beat us in every hustle stat category and they won the game 59-54. I was very disappointed in our effort. On Saturday we struggled on the defensive end and were down 27-43 at half to St. Edward's. We came out and ran the floor at the start of the 2nd half and made a great comeback. Christie Rasmussen and Paige Weishuhn had big games and the Freshman Lindsey Youngblood also played well. Everyone contributed to the win and we pulled it out 71-69. The only stat category we lost was the overall rebounds by 3, but we had 2 more offensive rebounds. I am really proud of our 18 assists and 11 steals.
On the way home, our bus hit a deer which is always scary. Camille was thrown to the ground and hit her head. The bus had some damage, but the bus driver was calm, cool and collected. He got us home safe and sound. When we arrived in the Junell Center parking lot, the members of Maroon 5 were standing outside their bus. Jezzal went over to talk to them and then they all went to the practice gym to play basketball with the 'Belles! Jezzal played 1 on 1 with the lead singer, Adam Levine.
We play again at home on Tuesday against a team we have never played. I am really looking forward to that challenge. We are working hard and together and we are all determined and committed to having a great season. Come out and see for yourselves!!!
What a great pic! Maroon 5's concert was awesome; so glad they were cool off-stage too! Makes me like them even more...
