Hey Cougar Nation!
Today the team visited the leaning tower of Pisa. I thought it was pretty cool to see because you usually see that tower on TV and to see it in real life really showed the beauty of it and how talented the architect was! Another one of my favorite things we saw was the 1000 year old church. It was amazing how people really took their time into constructing such an unbelievable Catholic Church. By far the most beautiful church I have ever seen! The detail was outstanding.Â
My favorite food was definitely the lasagna. It's actually my favorite food to eat, so to try some from Italy made it that much better. Practice was great! We went over plays and cleaned up some defensive rotations. I really think everyone is in tune for the competition out here in Italy.
Thanks Cougar Nation!

Hey CougsÂ
Day 4 of this Italy trip might have been my favorite, the team got to see the Leaning tower of Pisa. We also got to climb the 280 + step tower. The scene once you make to the top is amazing, a moment I'll cherish for the rest of my life. As the day went on we had practice too get ready for our next game. We're ready to go, and represent Pullman in the best way possible.Â
See ya soon Coug Nation,Â
