Blog

Throughout the course of the 2011-2012 season,
MVNU junior guard Melissa Eickholt will write a weekly blog about what is
happening with the team. "A Positive
Week" (posted on
February 14, 2012)
Another week has gone by and it is safe
to say it was a successful week! On
Wednesday, we were able to get our first
road win and beat Goshen! We were so excited
to win that we asked for the day off of
practice and Coach was grateful enough to
give it to us. A day off is like a Christmas
gift come late! We hit practice back up on
Friday to get ready for Marian. Being down
most of the game, we were able to fight our
way back and knock off a Top 25 ranked
team!! Lucky us, we were able to spend the
wonderful Valentine's holiday in the gym
getting ready for Spring Arbor on Wednesday.
We tried telling Coach that everyone on the
team had a date they had to go to and none
of us were available for practice last
night, but he didn't buy it and it was
strictly business in preparing for our game.
We are hoping that another win will make our
chances better in making it into the MCC. We
can only try and win out these last two
games and see where we stand in the
conference standings.
Today
the blog is going to be based solely on one
player, Camaranne Myles. Camaranne or Red as
we like to call her because of her beautiful
and shiny hair is from Centerburg, Ohio. Red
is a girl that you never know what will
happen when you are around her. She has many
stories and tried to convince us that we
should call her Copper instead of Red
because her hair is a penny color not a red
shade. We all tried it out, but nothing fits
quite like the name Red. One of the best
stories we have this year about Red is when
Coach told us we weren't allowed to miss the
front end of a one and one and if we did we
would have to do push-ups. Red took her
first shot and missed long on the rim. Coach
looked at her and told her to start doing
her push-ups, Cam (another nickname we have
for her)looked at him with the most confused
and mad face anyone could have and said,
“You said we couldn't miss the front end of
the one and one, mine hit the back of the
rim.” Everyone on the team heard her comment
and spent about five minutes laughing about
what she had said. With Red, there is never
a dull moment and the team wouldn't be the
same without her on it.
