As we entered the match on Saturday night, we were really trying to keep emotions at bay. It was tough though as we knew that four of our athletes would never compete on our home floor in a Bear's uniform again. It was tough though, as we choked back tears during their introductions. It just goes to show how much we care for our athletes.
One we were on the floor though, the girls got to work. Minus a bit of a hiccup during game three, we took care of a very feisty Northern Arizona Team. It was really fun to watch as all of our seniors contributed to a great match.
After the match we had a celebration for our seniors and family (about 50 people) in the High Plains Club in our football stadium. It was a great time of sharing memories of the seniors' journey and contributions to our program. Then, we showed a video of our seniors (I will try to get it posted today...). Good times.
Now, it is back to business. On Friday night we are going to be taking on Eastern Washington back on their home court. No one ever said that winning a conference championship was going to be easy... and the road we are about to travel is rough and winding...but if our girls can muster the courage and fortitude to forage on, we have a great shot at bringing to tournament trophy home to Greeley.
