This is page 2 to “Hoosier Hysteria” in my Indiana book for Project Life 2020.
Journaling reads:
Skeeter took me to Indiana University’s Hoosier Hysteria 2019 and as she was a former women’s player we got the star treatment! The morning was spent in the IU practice facility watching the women’s basketball team go through their drills and practice, the first time under NCAA rules they are allowed to formally work out together. The players worked hard and were polite and appreciative, even shaking my hand and thanking us for coming! Skeet asked Bendu to take us on a locker room tour, an amazing place with all the amenities, quite different from when Skeet played. When practice ended we went home for a bit and returned later for the rest of the activities. Because we had special wristbands we were allowed to walk through the brand new tunnel connecting the practice facility to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for the main events. Our seats were great and it was awesome watching the women’s and men’s coaches being announced to “pyrotechnics and floor projections"! They each addressed the crowd and then players were introduced, walking through a blackened doorway amidst fireworks and tossing t-shirts to the crowd. A fire bell interrupted but the crowd was told to remain, their Indiana glow sticks lighting up the Hall filled with energy. IU great Calbert Cheany was honored and a men and women's three-point and slam-dunk competition and skills challenge followed. The men’s team scrimmaged with Cream beating Crimson and men and women players stayed in the Hall to sign autographs. The women sponsored a buffet dinner back at the practice facility and I met Terri Moren the women’s coach and some players, including Miss Indiana Basketball 2019. Hoosier Hysteria spurred my interest in IU women’s basketball and I followed them through the season on the Big 10 Network.

Fabulous page describing what seems like an amazing day. You got some great photos, too.  I love how you brought all the red from them into that wonderful blended background.

It sounds and looks like you had a fabulous day!I love the blended crowd photo in the bg. It adds some nice texture. Great Job!

Thanks Kelly!  And I’m so happy you noticed my blended crowd - I wasn’t sure it would show that way and anyone would!  :)
