      The tournament

      May 14, 2006

      My girls had their last game of the season yesterday - a twelve-hour tournament against all of the schools in their division.

      The campus that held the event was incredible. Dan and I walked through it briefly during a break between games. All colleges should have gardens. And really old buildings. Even the fields on which we played were incredible. The land stretched out and down. It was as if the fields were raised in honor of the games that were being played on it. And the entire thing was surrounded by hills and mountains.

      I was so thankful that the rain had stopped that day so I wouldn’t have to endure the bus ride home soaking wet. That was until after my girls tied their final game, after playing well all day, and had the wonderful idea to empty the ice cold contents of a gatorade cooler onto my head. And back. And shoes. It was their revenge against a silly string attack I arranged earlier in the day. It was miserable, and completely flattering.

      I was asked to come back next season. I agreed.

        My school has a garden. But its a really small one that can’t be considered as a garden, really. It’s more like a mini plant exhibition.

        So you’re still going to continue coaching the girls next season? They must be happy about that. ;D

        How rewarding it must feel to have a wonderful relationship like that with your team! Congratulations to your girls! You obviously did a fine job with them =) I’m sure next season will be just as wonderful :D
