She won! She won!!
Last night was the basketball banquet for the school team. We (mostly Craig this year) put together the video presentation and it turned out pretty good. I think we did better last year but we had limited time this year.
We also weren't really looking forward to it because of all the turmoil this year. Ryan was nominated (according to her coach) for District MVP, Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the year- along with First Team All District (which she got last year and her Freshman year, too) but because of that situation with her grade (still furious about that) she was relegated to Second Team All District (still great). At the end of the banquet the coach stood up and announced that the team was ranked for the first time EVER at the end of the season. We're ranked 6th in the state for 4A schools. Coach Neff also won Coach of the Year, so I guess he's doing something right!
After all of that schtuffff he got pretty choked up and started talking about "this girl" is only the 2nd girl from Crowley High School ever to receive this honor. He said she'd made the All Region Team. MASSIVE. That is really a big deal. We assumed it was Megan, since she was the only one to get First Team All District this year- then he said it was Ryan! I damn near dropped to the floor. I turned and looked at Craig, who looked insanely proud (soooo cute!) and he said, "It was posted on TABC on Monday when the rankings came out." So he's known for three days and never said a word!
Anyway, Ryan also won the ball for the most rebounds in the season- even with missing those 6 games. I know it's not cool to brag, but I'm just reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy proud of her right now.
So here's Ryan with her coach.
