And That's a Wrap!

Well, it's all over.  We lost.  And in an appropriate fashion if I might add.  I mean, it just wouldn't be right if we went out with any more than just another thing to say "NOW, I've seen everything", or just a simple "UN-believable..."

We were playing well up until half-time.  We were actually winning by 2.  Fast-forward to a minute left, down by 6, our captain and point guard scores 6 straight points to tie us up with 30 seconds left.  The other team comes down, scores 2, and for some reason our "inbounder" throws the ball to our very uncoordinated guard (her best friend...) instead of our calm point guard (a huge "no-no" in basketball) who continues to dribble across half-court one step and launches it at the goal with 15 seconds left on the clock.  Instead of going to foul immediately, we all stood there for a few seconds paralyzed, not believing what the heck just happened.  The girl made both free throws and we lost by 4.  Unbelievable...

So, the team has to go down a division, so I feel bad for the staff and players that have to remain, but fortunately, I'm off to bigger and better things (God-willing as always).  Somehow I finished 3rd in the league in points scored with 16.1 per game, and I think top in the league in 3 pt. shooting %age at 45.5%.  A personal victory for me.  Points really aren't indicative for me as to how the season has gone, but it did give me a ticket to basically choose my next team.  I have signed another contract with a team still playing in the semi-finals this season.  It will be my biggest test ever!  I'm scared, nervous, and excited at the same time, but I have a whole summer to rest, relax, and improve.

The plan is still to fly into Dallas the day before Jodi plays (Wednesday), and one of my best buddies Kelley Alford will come and pick me up from the airport so we can hang out!  I was accepting the fact that I might be by myself my first night, but that is not the case since she goes to school about an hour away :)  Dad and maybe Morgan will meet us there the next morning before the game.  Jodi's team, by the way, is still 2nd in the nation, so Go Wildcats!
