The Ladies Have Returned

Has Kayleigh been assigned Caroline's 33? Or is Kayleigh a fan? Or did they all dress in the dark?

If you check out an earlier posting with some of the newbies (can't say freshmen as that wouldn't be accurate!) you'll see other examples of mix-and-match numbers. And if you look at the image following Kayleigh (with a big smile!) you'll see the other half of the handshake wearing KK's number 2. Kelis? If it is Kelis her assigned number is 7.

It could be that they're just messing with the coaches, or maybe the new practice tops aren't printed yet. But I like your idea that they dressed in the dark as they're extra enthusiastic about practice!

Whatever, it's great to see them hard at work.

Edit: This is the thread I think I was thinking about. Ashlynn is wearing 8, for example.

There are very few of us left, and I'm far too old and decrepit for basketball! 😇

76. Got an unrepaired torn cartilage in one knee - played another 20 or so years with that - and badly torn ligaments in one ankle that finally took me out of the game. Plus living with for the last ten years or so...

You may remember the Newtown basketball stadium in Wellington. Unfortunately it burnt down in 1999, so that may have happened while you were here. When I first played there it had an asphalt floor, like an outdoor netball court, so you didn't want to fall over! A sprung floor was installed later.

I'm originally from a farming town by the name of Feilding (and, yes, that's the correct spelling) near Palmerston North, about 160 kilometres north of Wellington, where I've been living for more that 40 years.

Is it still ‘up’ if you’re down under? I’ve always assumed it would be easier to shoot hoops down there because of the whole upside down thing.

Yep, that's her.

Are you sure? I don't recognize the person in the photo. At first, I thought it was Ice. If it is Allie, I am impressed also. Maybe she is planning to move to another position and concentrate on rebounding. 😉

I believe that only Allie and Ashlynn have the championship date tattooed in that position above their right elbows. But I could be wrong.

I’m glad to see Allie in the weight room. This bodes well for her progress in elevating the competitiveness of her game.

ummm., don't all players use the weight room? odd if they don't, unless they're injured.

Shhh. I was being kind. Allie (and Morgan) seem like they’ve done the least lifting. Anything they do to improve their ‘guns’ is worth celebrating.
 
These girls look downright intimidating! Yanna looks like she could bench press the whole team. Allie is almost unrecognizable and looks lean and mean! This is going to be a scary team! Can’t wait till Nov. 4th!

There's one at every party. Ah, no. I don't move in those circles, and he lives 882 kilometres away, about a 10 1/2 hour drive according to Google.

Drifting off topic here, but in the "you can't make this stuff up" category, I was in the hotel bar in London around 1979. I saw someone with our company logo on their diary and said something along the lines of "you can't get away from them." After correcting his initial assumption that I was from the West Island, as we refer to Australia, he asked if I knew so-and-so. "Know her?" says I - "I share an office with her!" Turned out that he was at their wedding and asked to carry a message back with me, which I willingly did.

Back to basketball - normal service should now resume.
