Bison Brief

So I was asked to write a blog for bison sport ... first of all none of my teammates wanted to step up and take the task on so they are stuck with my inconsistent posting and second there is not much room to be creative with them so they are straight forward. Here is my second post ...

Coming off a hard week of practice last week, we were able to get a much needed win at home versus the University of Winnipeg! After our two disappointing loses to Calgary on opening weekend in our gym we had a lot to prove to ourselves last week in practice. But we worked hard and pushed through some long ‘runs’ and rewarded ourselves on Saturday night. We had a great start in the first quarter – feeding off our intense defense to take a big lead into the second quarter were the game balanced out a bit. But in the second half we played through some runs by U of W, stayed focus and got the W. All around team effort and we had a fun time doing it together!
So we head into this weekend with our first tough road-trip ahead of us. We leave for Calgary on Thursday afternoon followed by a two-hour bus ride to the University of Lethbridge. No matter who the opponent is, when the travel includes two modes of transportation and a day worth of sitting, it is mentally and physically challenging compared to playing at home. For myself it’s one of my favorite parts of getting to be a student athlete – nothing is better than going into someone else gym and getting two wins. So I’m excited for our rookies to get to experience that and I’m excited for our team to face the step big challenge to the season. Not to mention we always manage to have a good time in the process!
So look out Pronghorns a herd of Bison are rolling into town! Haha
