On Tuesday, Sylvia followed her normal routine and visited her dad. Her sister, Karen, was there so that she could be with Dad during his cataract surgery on Wednesday. Karen gave Sylvia a clipping from their newspaper.
You can see our Briana and her friend, Eliza, as bookends in the back row. Their friend and teammate Julia is second from the left in the first row. Briana in a comment said, “The blonde girl next to me (Emily Dean) will be my teammate when I play for GV!
The OK Conference is a seven-county High School athletic conference in West Michigan. It is good to have this photo to add to our collection of memorabilia.
I went to the conference Website and found this nice shot of Eliza just before she blocks a shot on the Falcons goal:
Julia has two more years to compete for the Falcons. Next month, Briana and Eliza will be starting their classes in college. Soon, their High School days will be memories of good times and sweet victories.
Nice newspaper coverage. I agree with you that time flies in the blink of eyes. What are left are good memories.
Wow, college already… One thing I miss from High School(Years ago) Is Water Polo. I would love to attend a game sometime. There is no games here where I live now.
Oh how exciting!
Such delightful memories to take away to college and beyond
congrats to them! must be a hard sport to play I would think.
Just a fun fact: the blonde girl next to me (Emily Dean) will be my teammate when I play for GV!
This is great. Our youngest made the all conf football team, and it has been really nice to remember that, as he never went on with sports. THe team did not win a single game their senior year, yet he and one other classmate made all conf. Pretty sweet, eh?
All-conference is quite an honor! Congrats to these young women.
How nice for them to be in the newspaper!
I'm sure Briana is doing what Colin is–enjoying his last days with all the high school pallies before they scatter across the country to their new schools. It's bittersweet to see them grasp at those last days together. Yes, they will always be friends, but it will be just a tad different now.
Very nice indeed. I picked Briana out right away. I hope she enjoys her college experiences and you get a lot more memories to store.
Have a good day.
