Since we are getting
so close to Thanksgiving I thought I would let everyone know what I am thankful for... you can see the pictures of the beautiful new floor in King Horn Center. We had a very generous donor give us the money for a brand new floor. It will be dedicated on Dec. 20th and named after our former men's basketball coach Joe Campoli and his wife Margaret. The floor is state of the art and a great addition to our facility. In addition to our new floor we also renovated our locker room in the summer of 2007 (pictures above). Our alumnae together gave $50,000 so we could get the locker room done. Our current players love the new space. It has a state of the art stereo system, a big flat screen tv, and beautiful cherry wood lockers. I am thankful our alumnae cared so much to give back so that future players could have a premier space.
I am thankful for Sara Terrell, my assistant coach. Coach Terrell puts her heart and soul into the program. She does everything from helping to plan practice, scout opponents, and recruiting to name just a few things. Our program would not be where it is today without her dedication.
Finally, the last seven years have been the best of my coaching career. I am thankful for the players, past and present, who have been a part of this program. Each and everyone of them has touched my life in one way or another. Many of them have gone on to be successful in their careers and have started families of their own. This year's team is young but is working hard and there is no doubt they will leave their mark. I am very lucky to be a part of the Ohio Northern Women's Basketball family.
