Hello From Nassau





Greetings from Nassau.

Well the Hardin-Simmons Cowgirls and the traveling party have made it safely to the Bahamas. We had a relatively uneventful day on our flights and everyone’s bags made it safe and secure.

It has been a long day as the girls left Abilene at 5 a.m. and after a quick stop to drop some cars off at the Newcombe’s house in Keller it was on to DFW and a flight that finally left around 12:15. We arrived in Miami at 4:20 and then on to our connecting flight (a turbo prop) and then to Nassau.

It was dark when we got here so we have not actually seen the ocean yet but our hotel is really nice. We had a quick buffet meal.

To show how small of a world it is, we met a Hardin-Simmons alum and relatives of John and Tina Hunter in line checking in at the international section at the Nassau airport. We also saw former Cowgirl Rachel Cisneroz at dinner as she is here with the UT-Arlington women’s team, where she is the director of basketball operations.

Everyone is getting their bearings tonight and tomorrow is a relative free day until a 6 p.m. practice.

Send in your questions to my e-mail and I will try to answer them in this blog over the weekend.

Just to answer a question I have received – we will not be broadcasting the games. I will try my best to update the game score frequently on the main HSU athletics site during the game, depending on our internet access at the gym.
