Lexie Collins

I'm hyped!

[Lexie Collins @Lexie__Collins]

For school once, I had to pick a dream I'd always hoped for but that was impossible to reach. My response was to play college basketball.

[Lexie Collins @Lexie__Collins]

4Q. Up 1. My player headed to FT line for two, looking nervous. Opponent calls timeout. In the huddle, “she’s going to make both and we’ll be up 3. After she makes them, we’re going to…” She hits both. We get a stop. We get the ball in. We don’t panic. Ball game.

That’s fun.

QOTD: “We’ve been letting your team score just so you know.”

QOTD material because it was not a student… it was an adult in rec soccer after she unsuccessfully tried to pull me to the ground (3 or 4 times) while losing 9-0…

Also, if you can’t manage to pull me down…
