There are 32 teams across the nation that come to Jackson, TN to play for the title of National Champion! The Lady Lions (26-6), received the No. 3 seed in the third quarter, and are making their 14th straight trip to the NAIA National Tournament. The tournament festivities began Tuesday night with banquet where all teams come to enjoy dinner together and size up their competition. At the banquet, Jana Cross was awarded WBCA All-American award for the 3rd time. I was so proud of her! Here are some pictures from the banquet that night.

Wednesday night was the opening ceremonies and the 1st day of the 1st round. Before the parade of champions, our sponsors, State Farm, took us out to dinner where we all enjoyed laughing and telling stories. Also while we were eating there was this girl about 14 years of age sitting outside in her mom's minivan. We could see out of the window by our table but she could not see us in the restaurant. She was sitting in the passengers seat and looking out into the review mirror. She kept posing and looking at herself. She did this for at least 20 minutes! It was hilarious! We kept watching her and laughing until it got to the point of being annoying! Of course I had to snap a picture so here is a shot of one of the many poses she was doing.
The Lady Lion's play Thursday night against Lubbock Christian at 8:00 in the 1st round of the tournament.
