Dingler talks: Feb. 19, 2009

Last night was a big night for TexAnn basketball! We knew we had to win in order to stay alive in the LSC South, and we proved we could.

This game was important, not only because we neeeded a win, but the fact that we were raising awareness for breast cancer as well. It's such a good cause and something I'm glad we are apart of. We all know someone with cancer and the WBCA's Pink Zone is a great way to support the cause.

I have lost two very close family-friends to breast cancer, so it's something very dear to my heart! It is also nice to honor a great coach like Kay Yow and stand up for what she believed in. It was a great night overall and a huge success. Thanks to Coach Wilhelm - she has a great heart and did a great job setting everything up and dressing us in pink!

The game went great. We really came out strong and did what we needed to do. Sonya played great not only scoring, but she did a nice job finding the open player. JoAnne did very well and had a double-double in helping us with our win. I'm proud of everyone and we just need to keep it up in these final two games!

We get this weekend off to rest and get ready for the upcoming week! Hopefully we can win and continue our season through the conference tournament.

Thanks for all the fans who came tonight and donated money for breast cancer. Also thanks to all the breast cancer survivors for coming - it's good to see all the support.

Untill then, Go TexAnns.
