Regis Basketball would like to introduce Meghan Hollenga:

Meghan Hollegna is one of the freshman joining our team this year. Originally from Colorado Springs, CO, Meghan says the closeness to home was the one drawback of Regis, but she fell in love with Regis' school and basketball program on her visit and she couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Meghan quickly fit in with the team and earned the nickname "Han," and yes, she would like you all to note that is spelled with an "a" and not an "o!" If you ever see a practice Han will be the one wearing bright green prewrap- she never goes a day without it!

Her personal goal for this season is to focus on defense and help the team in rebounding. One of our first games of the regular season is against Fort Lewis; this game will have a little extra significance for Meghan because she'll get to battle her older sister Hayley. We're counting on ya to win that one Han! ;) Off the court, Meghan likes to relax by sleeping and watching Hannah Montana- don't worry she is older than a ten-year-old, on most days at least ;) Just kidding! :) Meghan has been a great addition to our team, we're so happy to have her, and are excited for her and our upcoming season!

Practice - we talkin bout practice?

That's right. We are talking about practice. Everyone is excited and ready, not to mention a bit nervous. As coaches, we are reminding ourselves to take things a step at a time. This team is so talented and athletic, it's hard not to think ahead to some of the amazing things we are going to be able to do.

Practice is where teams are made, roles are earned and dreams start to become reality. As with anything worth working for, practice will be filled with ups and downs. Teammates are there to pick you up when you struggle, push you when you have more to give and celebrate with you when finally get it right.

I am blessed to be a part of this team and excited to jump into the fray and hang on for the ride!

Community Service

Last Sunday morning we woke up at 4:00 am to move barricades and direct traffic for the Race for the Cure, in Denver. Although not as entertaining as cheering at the finish line we helped the community of Denver by directing traffic for parking. While directing traffic, Lauren and Erin put on a line dancing show! Although one car commented on the dance, there was not a lot of enthusiasm from the drivers. Junior Nug (Kaitie) almost got run over trying to stop a vehicle to give them directions. PS. It was cold. Five hours of community service down, eleven hours to go.

We Made It

Wahoo!!
After five weeks of grueling workouts we can now call ourselves Rangers. Today marked the finish to a great pre season. Now, for the first time in history fall break falls before season, so we are all headed home for a couple of days. And when we return after dominating softball in flag football, we will start practice #1. Our newbies have proved to be strong assets so far. And the returners look forward to building our new team. Another addition to this years pre season were Brian and Tate from Next Level Performance. They led our weightlifting and speed training workouts. In addition to 'yolking' us, they taught us running technique. Our coaches are pleased as well and everyone is ready to get to work!!
