Off to a Great Start

Hello everyone!


Well, it is back to school again, following a summer that seemed to go by way too fast. I am beginning my sophomore year as an ASU student, and my "freshman" year as a Rambelle basketball player.


I must say that these past two weeks have been very busy, as we have had many meetings, physicals, and already an anatomy test. :( This is going to be one busy semester.


We kicked off our 2010 preseason with an awesome party at Lloyd Whitehead's private lake. We had a great time and enjoyed some amazing food. Although Sunday was a blast, we were eating and tubing knowing that in the back of our minds we would be beginning our preseason conditioning workout at 7 a.m. on the track. I must say, we all did very well for our first work-out this season.


I am extremely excited about this season already. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the best basketball seasons in the history of ASU women's basketball. I know y'all probably think that I am required to say that or that you heard the same thing last year. But please believe me when I say that this is true.


One of the reasons is: we are not only saying that this is going to be a great season, but we are working for it. This summer, all of the returners worked really hard not only in the weight room, but also on the court. I don't think that we have had this many people lifting and playing during the summer. I know that all of that hard work will pay off and translate on the court.


I look forward to seeing everyone at all of the games this year, and I hope y'all have a great week. Go 'Belles!
