Dingler Talks: Jan. 11, 2009

Today was a fullfilled day! I Got up pretty early, hopped on the bus, ate breakfast in Stephenville and headed out to Oklahoma for our game at Cameron.

Once we finally made it to Lawton, we didn't have much time before we had to be on the court - Gametime!

Being such a young team, Coach Wilson gave me some good advice to tell the team right before the game. We had to take this game seriously and not jump ahead of ourseleves and not to take people too lightly. She sure was right. This team was good and we had to fight to win this game!

Both teams struggled shooting the whole game and it made us have to win the game on the defensive end. You can have a bad offensive game but you should never have a bad defensive game. If you were at the game you saw Tomika step up and help us out by playing great defense! Let's just say we were all proud of her as she kept us in the game by guarding their quickest player! Good job Tomika!!!!

Winning this game was fun. It was such a close one I was glad to come out on top! Thanks for all the Tarleton fans that came! Cameron's gym was loud and it was nice to hear some purple-cheering fans!

This trip was a good trip as a team. We had our own bus so we had a lot of space. We had a lot of team bonding - playing pointless little games and getting to know each other better. We got to get a little snack at Coach Hearne's favorite place on the way back (Braum's). I think it was because his birthday is tomorrow! :) shhhh!

We get a day off tomorrow. This will be a good rest for all of us just finishing 4 games in 7 days! A little stressful on us all. Plus school starts back up on Monday! We all need this day to get back to normal! Sleep!!!!!!

Conference (South Division play) begins on Wednesday! I'm excited, the team is excited and to top it off it's at home! Kingsville is going to be tough but I think we will be just fine! We need to work hard and it'll come!

Well thanks again everyone for coming to Cameron and we will see you all Wednesday!

Go TexAnns!!

Happy birthday Coach Hearne!
