HELLO PILOT FANS!
It’s your favorite one and only “QUEEN B” aka Byrd! For any of our new blog readers I am currently a Junior PG (#15) from Las Vegas, NV.
Today (Editor’s Note: Last Sunday) is our first official practice and I never have been so eager to start another year of basketball. Since school began, your Pilots have put in some hard, dedicated, productive hours in weights, condition, individuals and open gym and are ready to continue that in practice.
Unfortunately, there are no more early morning practices (I think CB & I will miss them the most), which means we will have weights and practice back-to-back. Over the last couple weeks our coaches have put together a food system so the players that are rushing from class can have a meal before practice, a snack between workouts and finally a meal to go for all of us that will be sprinting to make sure we have a seat in the front row of class. Our first go will be this week, let’s hope it works smoothly!
Before the long practice hours begin we got to spend some quality time together as a team. Last week we hosted a recruit! JJ (Jazmyn Johnson) was her host and showed her a fabulous time on The Bluff. We had our first team dinner on Thursday hosted by Kari (itsyagirlkari), Eylse (bigE) and myself (Queen Lex). Every other week we have a team dinner and the host group has to cook or provide the team with a meal!

Spent time supporting our Volleyball team, who are some of my wonderful housemates! :)

Lastly, this weekend Cassie (Cassandra Thompson), Jdub (Jasmine Wooton), Annika, Ellen and I decided to have a movie night and watch “Silent House”. Half the time I was too frightened to open my eyes :( I definitely would not recommend anybody to watch this movie (save your money)!
It was great bloggin’ it up. Next week Erin will tell you all about our first week of practice!
GO PILOTS! (peaceeee & blessingssss *kari voice)
