Caris Update

Caris is just about ready to sit up on her own. She did take a bath last night sitting up for the first time. (She is 5 1/2 months old.)

She really enjoyed her first family Christmas at Nana and Pop's house Sunday. Next year she'll be tearing through the gifts just like her Mama. Hopefully, I can get some pictures of her up soon.

Aunt DD went back to Reno yesterday, but it sounds like she might have spent the night in Denver. We'll see. Nice visit, though.

JV at Skiatook Tournament

The JV team will be playing in the Skiatook Tournament January 5-7. We open up against Bishop Kelley on the 5th at 5:00. You will be getting a bracket Monday or Tuesday of this week to let you know what's up.

We need to take some revenge on Kelley for what they did to us last year. Remember - they also want us for spoiling their little "PIZZA PARTY" this summer. Ha Ha.

Holiday HOOPLA

We did it! We finally learned how to win big games and we came out on top! We beat two pre-season Top Ten teams to earn First Place in the inaugural Holiday Hoopla.

Everyone did a great job. It takes a team effort, and that's what we got. Some people really stepped up when they had to, and that's great.

We always have room to grow, but we sure learned a lot last weekend. Our defense is still working great, even though we have some critics! (Can you believe that?) We still have some times in games where our brains get shut off and we struggle - it looks like an 8th grade offense sometimes.

Oh well, we did win all three and now we take a winning streak into the break. Look out BA! Here we come!!!!

Injury Update

Kendra is the only girl we have out right now. She did go get a second opinion from Dr. Stanley, and he agreed that she should be out for 3 months, but tacked on an additional 1 month of physical therapy. So, Kendra will be taking on a support role for this season. So far, she has done a great job and has had a great attittude. Thanks, Kendra.

Junior Varsity

Woo-Hoo! We are definitely on a roll! Our record is now 3-0! Last night we won 63-29 over a "decent" Sapulpa team. We played our defense, ran our offense, and ran them out of the gym. During the game, I looked up and we had a 20 point lead. Then I looked up again and BAM! A 34 point lead and win. Sweet.

We need more of those. Of course, we're off now through Christmas break, but we need to whip up on BA when we get back.

Every player is contributing and that's exactly what we need. No dips when I sub, only rises in activity and energy! That's what you gave me last night.

Keep up the good work! 9th White is the only other undefeated team and they play a tough one tomorrow night. KEEP IT UP!!!

What happened? (VARSITY)

What happened to our varsity team? We had high hopes for this season, now we're sitting at 0-3. Simply put, we can not score. Our defense is working, it's our offense that sucks. We have scored 54, 53, and 40 points in our 3 games. That's horrible. We have to have someone get on track for a full 32 minutes.

Last night's bright spot - Chelsea Harrison FINALLY started playing like we know she can. Chelsea - you better keep it up!

We start our tournament tomorrow. If we don't beat Central, we're in trouble. Let's get this ship turned around and set out for the open sea. Win three here, and get on the right course for February and March.
