Basket-O-Lanterns

The Women's basketball team had a team-building night together after their first full week of practice. The first order of the evening was to have a meal together in the Bob Steele Room. Stories about family and good food were the order of the first half of the night.

 

The evening was capped off by a pumpkin carving event that was designed to have each team member carving a pumpkin to best represent her personality. The team had a great time getting to know each other on a different level and some even ended the evening with a pumpkin seed bake off. What a great way to finish a weeks of hard work! New head Coach Linda Hill-MacDonald was very impressed at her team's creativity. Micky Mouse as well as Myley Cyrus were represented among other interesting characters.
