Favorite Part of My Job. Ever.

If you've been friends with me or followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the most favorite part of my job is coaching TSD's academic bowl team.  I've been coaching the team for eight years now, and I still love it just as much as that first exciting year when I was still learning all the academic bowl ropes.  This year we had sort of a re-building team, with three new members, but we knew they were pretty good for rookies.  We weren't sure how good, but we were fairly confident.  Here's a little breakdown of the TSD history these awesome kiddos of mine made this past weekend:

• Remained undefeated in preliminary play, ending with a 7-0 record.
• Clinched first in their pool to move onto the semifinals (before we'd always been second, if we made it into semifinals)
• Won their semifinals game (up to now, we've always lost this game and had to play in the 3rd/4th place game)
• Brought home the 2nd place trophy (the first time we've brought home a bowl!)

It was so much fun to watch this team gel and really come together and do so wonderful.  I am so beyond proud of them!!
