Tangle in the Triangle - Powderpuff Tournament!






Again, we're sorry it's been so long since we last updated our blog. We feel we are just starting to learn how to function as "marrieds" and divide up our work
tasks in a better way! So ... I'll be taking over the blog updates (Ashley) --- you can blame me next time there's a 3 month lapse :) I'm excited to share about our 1st annual Powderpuff Football Tournament that was held last Thursday night at NC State. We partnered with the Campus Outreach ministry going on at NC State in hopes of furthering the relationships we currently have and building momentum and interest towards the New Year's Conference we hold every year in Atlanta, GA over Christmas Break. We at UNC were amazed at the turnout and excitement level we got from the girls we've been building relationships with all semester. 67 women came out to play from UNC forming 4 teams (3 more than we expected) to go up against State. My team, "the Jimski's" (named after our coach and UNC staff guy Jim Stephens), unfortunately got out in the first round. However, we had the best time sticking around to cheer on the other UNC teams that went up against NC State. It also helped the momentum that the REAL rivalry UNC v. NC State game would be held two days later on Saturday November 22nd. After the games were over, we headed back over to the staff house at NC State for a spaghetti dinner and the presenting of t-shirts! The girls seemed to have a great time and it served to get everyone excited about the possibility of joining us for New Year's in Atlanta!
