Unfortunately, our game was "rained out" last Friday and postponed until Sunday. Fortunately for us, we were able to get in another great day of practice before we took on Southern University on our home field. After our practice on Saturday morning, we all made our way to the beautiful town of Covington in order to put on a clinic for children ranging from ages four to ten. The clinic consisted of different stations including heading, dribbling, passing and shooting. The shooting station was the most successful for OBVIOUS reasons ;-). After the clinic, all the children and staff were able to enjoy a delightful snowball!
On Sunday morning, the team met in the locker room in order to discuss the team objectives for the game and relax with some pre-game "festivities"!! Once game time rolled around, our warm-up CD was not playable due to surprising technical difficulties. Luckily, we were able to quickly throw together a live band performance and warm up to "Black Betty" like we usually do.
We ended up beating Southern 8-0 with an outstanding performance by the baby freshmen. It is clear that our hard work and dedication in practice is going to make a tremendous effect on the result of our season. Also, we had great fans that flocked from all over the world, including Canada and Europe, who were there to cheer us on!
This week, we have been working hard to execute in practice. After coming together and realizing that we needed a tremendous effort, we were able to step it up in practice today which is crucial for us considering we will be taking on Troy tomorrow at 4:30.
Let's keep it going strong ladies!!
