KG's Hideaway

I've already posted about Ryan signing her National Letter of Intent last week, but I didn't post the pictures. Well, here they are WENDY!!!! The first picture is of her actual signing, but the second one is just the "fake" signing so that they can have a ceremony at school. But besides all of this I have some great news! (after the pics)

Austin and Ryan's dad, Marshall, is the really old looking guy on the far right next to Ryan. I'm SO pissed that he managed to come to her signing but couldn't manage to make it into town to see her game the night before. She totally wrecked on the team we played and showed just how much further she's come since last year. That bastard lives only about 2 hours away (but his mother lives 7 minutes from us) and he only sees them on Thanksgiving and Christmas. What an idiot. The kids were pissed that he brought his new girlfriend to the signing but I personally think it's great. When he's happy, he isn't such an ass!

Here is an article on the UNT website regarding Ryan (and the other girls) who signed.

On Thursday, we left for Austin and the Capital City Showdown basketball tournament. We played a few 5A teams (we're 4A) and we did really well! We went undefeated until the Championship game but we only lost that one by 4 points. AND we played against Mansfield Timberview, who should have kicked our ass. The girls played SO good!

Ryan had an "ok" tournament, in my opinion. Not great, but considering she played with the flu, I think it was alright. The tournament officials saw it differently and she was awarded the Outstanding Offensive Player of the tournament trophy. Really cool.

Both the girls ended up feeling really crappy and Kyra ended up puking ON THE BUS!!! WTF? I asked her why she didn't say anything to the coaches before she tossed her cookies and Ryan said that she never got a chance because the assistant coach sort of stopped quickly and when the bus lurched so did Kyra's stomach. She learned the hard way not to spend ALL DAY eating. Live and Learn.
