christmas

basic overview.... FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS!!!!! not only did i totally redo my room, and get an enV 3, i got tons of clothes previously picked out, 70 dollars to itunes, 40 to AE, 7 pairs of cool looking socks, blue and green in dif designs, a new basketball, and lots of other stuff. could christmas get much better? i submit that it cannot :) oh yea, me, trey, hannah b, and lizzy allo get to go see brian regan.

WOW

i definatly just met Kara Lawson at the gym. thankjfully, i recognized her when i saw her and was able to go up and meet her and talk to her for literally 5 minutes. she gave me some great advice, and talked to me about what it takes to play in college and beyond. a few kara facts..... she has played in the pros for 6 years after a very successful career at UT. in the pros, she plays for the Sacremento Monarchs. her three point % is 0.4, which is really good. really really good. free throws, she doesnt miss. just under 9 of 10. a few rebounds, steals, and assists per game. an occasional block, almost no turnovers. 12 points. all star. and she talked to me, knows my name, wished me good luck, said shed be waiting to hear my name in a few years. in the entire NBA, she ranks 17 and 16 in assist to turnover ratio and three pointers, respectively. 35 minutes out of 40 against pheonix. GET SOME!!! oh yea, and you all know about how 20 was my dads number. its treys. Karas number, 20.

At Ut, which i care about, she had 15 points, 4.5 assists per game. 46% from 3 point. her freshman year she made the game winning shot against the US national team. she made about 6 of these last second shots in her time at Ut.

thats right :)

Farragut just beat West. Even without Katie. and our biggest post besides Katie is 5-11. GET SOME!!!!! i even got in in the first half for almost a quarter which is nice, and i hit 2 free throws at the end.

school is officially out for us high school goers, after a half day of finals yesterday and today. Gym.... speaks for itself. Business Principals, harder than expected. before my class took the test, the highest grade was an 87. great. i only needed a 77 to keep my A, but.... well, Savannah Lucas and i got 93's, highest in out class. i am fairly confident i did well enough on the final to get an A in Honors English, we havnot gotten the grades back yet, but algebra is gonna be close. right now i round up to a 93. but, the final was fairly esy and worth 20 % of out grade.

bball is going great, we are #1 in out district. (9-1). Tomorrow we play West, who is really good. sadly, our Freshman star on both JV and Varsity will not be playing. she is 6-1 or 2, plays alot like Hayley Newby. She will be better than hayley in a few years. because, she can shoot. in one scrimmage, she hit 8 threes. wow. wow. wow. wow. but, she is clumsy with those big feet of hers and she tore a ligamant in her toe. yes, her toe. she will be out for a little while, possibly the games monday and tuesday as well.

as for me, i play anywhere from 6-14 minutes in our 32 minute games (8 minute quarters).
