The Day Before (Wednesday)

Well the day began around 8am in the coaches condo. They had breakfast and yes, some things got burned. Don't worry everyone is fine. We left for the Dells Center for practice, aka the bubble, around 9:30am. We practiced from 10-11:15, and the team seemed focused and ready for competition. Afterwards it was back to the resort for a nap and lunch. The bubble is only about a mile from the resort so it is very convenient to travel to and from. For lunch we ate in the coaches condo once again. No stove involved, so things were looking up. After lunch Coach Jo went for her 50 minute massage that the team surprised her with the night before. She doesn't get emotional often, but there were some teary eyes. After the massage Jo, Brylee, Luci, Elizabeth, and Helen went to town to hit the Outlet Mall and Walmart for the second time of the trip. Then back to get gussied up for the banquet. The team looked very beautiful and took approximately 1 million pictures. The dinner was very nice and the speaker was inspirational. Good way to start the tourney. It is now off to bed before the first day of play! We play Community College of Rhode Island at 11am. We will post the results as soon as we can. Wish us luck! Ta Ta for now. Go Tigers!
