Tuesday Night Showdown

    All I have to say is, wow. That word describes our game last night when we traveled to North Manchester, Indiana to battle against Manchester University. The bus ride was long, so we knew it was already going to be a battle and the atmosphere made it even harder. 
    Tuesday night games are always challenging, especially when they are away in a hostile environment. Manchester had a great turn out last night and had around 100 students in attendance, so it was very challenging. The ball tipped and the game began and it only got crazier as the game went on. My teammate, Landen Long came out on fire and continued with it throughout the whole game, as he scored a career high 35 points! The game was 70-66 with four minutes remaining and I leaked out ahead of the play and had a slam dunk to put us up by six points and the arena went completely silent. To be honest, at this point we thought we had the game wrapped up, but we kept fighting. It ended up being 84-82 with six seconds remaining and we were up. Manchester inbounded the ball, went down to the other end and scored an And-1 layup and hit the free throw. So, with two seconds remaining the score was 85-84 with Manchester leading. We inbounded the ball, went a little past half court, Landen Long threw the ball up and it went off the backboard and banked in and we won the game 87-85, it was insanity. Landen ended up finishing with a career high of 35 points and I also had a career high of 19 points!
    The bus ride back home was so enjoyable and was a great night to be a Polar Bear. Those are the nights that you work for all summer and the moments that you will cherish forever. I will never take for granted the situation I have been blessed with. Go Bears!

Chapter 1-7

    After finishing our midterm in this class, I feel as if it can be a good time to talk about the first seven chapters and the things I have learned about social media. I am actually taking this class because I decided to pick up social media as a minor and I am beyond glad I did it because I  thoroughly enjoy learning about different aspects in social media. This is something that really sparked my interest because I feel like the whole world is ran by social media and cellphones.      Through the first half of this class so far we have learned about all the main social media apps. These include: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. I enjoyed learning about all of them but my favorite was Twitter and that is because it is my favorite app and I also feel as if it is the best app to promote yourself and your business. Twitter is the app I have had the longest so I enjoyed hearing some information about it that I have never heard. For examp...

The Guardiac Kids

    The Guardiac kids, also known as the Cleveland Guardians, were one of the most fun teams to watch in the league this year. A team made up of the lowest payroll, lowest experience and the youngest team in the league made the second round of the playoffs and took the "best" team in baseball to a final game in the American League Division Series, before losing last night. I watched over 50 games this year, and every game had so much life and excitement to it.      This past Sunday night, I attended game 4 against the New York Yankees in Cleveland and it was an experience of a lifetime. I got free tickets and a parking pass and had fantastic seats for a chance to watch history. We arrived early and explored beautiful downtown Cleveland. Cleveland is a place I have always loved and enjoyed being there and exploring. Once in the stadium, it was so great to be back. The smell of baseball was in the air, and it was contagious. With over 38,000 people in attenda...

First Game, First Win

    Last night, we opened up with the first game of our season and the first game of my senior season. We traveled to Oberlin College which is close to the Cleveland area. Since it is closer to Cleveland, it was a long bus ride. The whole bus ride, it really hit me that my senior season is beginning and potentially the last season of my competitive basketball career. Besides that, I knew that this was a huge game, especially being on the road for our first game, it is never easy. I won't lie, I felt very confident about our chances going into the game.      We arrived at Oberlin, and the butterflies began to hit me for the first time in a long time. A new coach, senior season, high expectations, and the first game all added up to some nervousness. This game was a huge game for us if we want to change the culture of Ohio Northern Basketball. The ball tipped up and the game began. We definitely came out as I expected; a little sloppy but also nervous and hesitant....
