Now what?

New week, new opportunities. That’s how we looked at the upcoming challenge. A midweek game on Thursday (should be a breeze), and another conference series, this weekend against University of Auburn at Montgomery. A team that’s ranked ahead of us in the conference standings. Winning the series could do a lot for us, help us be higher than the eighth seed. Maybe Coach wouldn’t worry as much and we could relax a little.

With the midweek game going as expected, two easy wins, our spirits rise a little. But when we thought of the weekend upcoming in the next few days, the worry and tension in the locker room was beginning to build. Some girls are openly showing that they don’t care whether the team wins or not; others working hard everyday to make sure they can be successful in hopes it will help the team. And of course, nothing is worse than girls. A group of girls will always find a way to cause drama, talk bad about each other behind their backs, and just be mean.

The weekend was, what a true Blazer fan would call, a disappointment. We only won one of the three games. Our post-season hopes were slowly fading away and the “fight” in most of the team has gone away. How could a team that was so good, go bad so quickly? And with only four weekends left in the season, we would almost have to win every game left in the season to have a chance of making the conference tournament. Can we do it? YES. This is a team that was almost untouchable at the beginning of the year. But, it’s not going to be easy.
