“My deepest apologies go out to my mother, Larnel Ray, for not giving her a much deserved shout-out in my last blog, which was on her birthday. Sorry, mom - "Happy Belated". That goes to show you just how busy my teammates and I are as student-athletes that we forget simple things such as birthdays. I have a few stories about my teammates and them forgetting birthdays, but I'll give them some slack granted that it is 8:20 a.m. and I'm up getting ready to go to microbiology at 9:15.
Although I'm extremely tired and struggled to get out of the bed this morning, I remember one thing and one thing only, many people do not have the opportunity to go to college so I have to take advantage of the opportunity I have been given. On a good note, I have a feeling today will be a good day. .
With a victory over BC last night, the team continues to show signs of progression. I once heard this saying, "An enthusiastic heart sees opportunity everywhere." My teammates embrace this because while critics remain to doubt us, we stay humble, optimistic and opportunistic. Our motto "JUST US" speaks for itself and when it comes down to it, we possess the key to determine our destiny. Yet, we must not look so far into the future and take it one game at a time. The next task at hand awaits us in Athens, Ga. Our agenda for the day includes a day filled with shooting, film and practice. Lastly, we conclude our day by supporting our men's team as they play Drexel tonight and Bruiser Flint's kids are some pretty tough kids especially one of my old friends, Gerald Colds. It will be nice to see him play tonight but I'm a Scarlet Knight and I say RU all the way!”
