Dingler talks: Jan. 22, 2009

Our last trip to Eastern New Mexico was a good one! We pulled off a win, and to everyone it felt good. It was good to know that all of our hard work that we had been putting into basketball finally paid off.

I can now say I will not have to take/make that 7 hour bus ride again. It's kind of sad if you think about it. This year and every other year goes by so fast! Time really does fly.

About the game... all of us were ready to play and win because we were tired of falling short in the last few seconds! We started the game off strong and did well throughout the whole game. A lot of people stepped up for us on Wednesday. Lisa Parker did awesome and Kelsey Benford came off the bench playing very strong! It's good to know that we have that much depth to help us win! Sonya did well too, they just called too many fouls on her! But Shelby finished strong... Lisa scored when we needed her too... and Kelsey came out ready to play and made some crucial shots and some important rebounds! Tori played solid just like she always does. I'm proud of everyone.

Even though we had a 7 hour trip on the way home I could handle it following our win! Thanks for the support we had at the game. That trip wasn't easy on you all either!

We all slept on the way home and pulled into Stephenville at 6:15 the next morning! We had a light practice and film session on Thursday and we are all ready to play West Texas A&M! We have always had a rivalry with them and I think it's about time we beat them. It's set up perfect - we are at home, its a Saturday and we are coming off of a win! I'm ready and so is the whole team.

See you guys then! Be sure to wear your white as we "White Out" the gym on Saturday.

Till then Go TexAnns!
