Yesterday was our first official day on the court … so grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! There is nothing like hearing the basketballs bouncing on the hardwood and listening to the sound of the ball waxing through the net. The team is in great shape and worked very hard in our first session - it gives me so much energy! I love the excitement that is generated from the intensity of drills done well and the constant chatter our team continually builds. We have a short pre-season as our first scrimmage is on October 30th against Otterbein, always a tough competitor in the OAC. Knowing that the journey to our first scrimmage is a short one, the team has come in focused and ready to go! The upper class players are doing a great job of helping the new players get acclimated to their new practice environment - always a great sign of team cohesion and program pride.

Now that the season has begun you can expect to see more frequent posts from me as well as additional posts from Coach Cody, my assistant, and some of our team members. Check back in often to follow the Tigers through the exciting 2009-2010 season.
