Wow!  I cannot believe it is already the end of October.  This month flew by, considering we have been practicing two times a day, six days a week for most of this month.  This past Saturday we had our first scrimmage in which we played an outside competition – NIC (North Idaho College).  We played well together, but we still have so much to improve on for our first game.  We had a lot of support considering it was only a scrimmage, but the support was highly appreciated.  It makes such a difference when we have so many people there cheering us on. 

This past month our team has seemed to come together even more than the beginning of the year during our conditioning.  We play hard every single day in practice, battling each other as though it were a game.  So much sweat has been poured on the court along with some injuries that are devastating to watch.  Tasha is out with her knee and we are looking forward to her return soon.  Madison is recovering and we finally have Alyssa back.  Many of us are maintaining a healthy lifestyle to minimize any more injuries because each person on our team brings something different and without each individual player, our puzzle isn’t complete.

We have one more week of practice until the real fun begins: playing games.  We have implemented most of our offenses and most of our defenses and are in substantial condition to where we hopefully will be able to out-run our opponents.  This Sunday we play Washington State then we are off to California to battle the best, then back to Boise State the following Sunday.  We have five (5) games in seven (7) days.  What a schedule!  We look forward to pushing ourselves once again and creating a footmark that will be hard to recreate.
