DIARY ONE

MEET & GREET

GAMES BEGIN

FREE PHOTOS ARE HERE

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24

Dear Diary:

It was another fun morning of pool play to decide the seeding for Sunday. Our team played its best against the top team at camp but we came up empty.


We took lots of photos today and the highlight of the day was a guided tour of the Hall of Champions, Richard Jefferson Gym, McKale Center, the Men’s locker room and the women’s locker room. Reggie Geary took around and the former players spoke to us about how much the locker rooms and facilities have changed over the year.

We all went to East Coast Subs afterwards for a bite to eat and we watched the Arizona/Hawaii football game as a group. The customers were surprised to see us there and a few took advantage of the rare situation with photos.

We have team photos planned for Sunday followed by a third place game and a championship game. There might be some awards handed out, I’m not sure. Maybe a bag of ice.

I’m afraid to sit down because it will be difficult to get back up.

See you tomorrow.
