God's Girlz State 2015

 Before quizzing started

 Me & the scorekeeper.

 The Quoting Bee (starting line up)

 The Quoting Bee (final 3-big surprise, right?)

 God's Girlz with their various team & individual awards.

 There was a tie (again) for first place for the Quoting Bee between Hannah and a teammate.

 Hannah's gold award for quoting each chapter of Romans & James to her coach with 4 mistakes or less per chapter. She also earned the platinum award (certificate to come later) which was a huge accomplishment. It came with lots of hard work & tears but she did it! The platinum award means she quoted ALL Of Romans & James in one sitting to her coach with 7 mistakes or less and in under 50 minutes. She did it 3 times with me and bunches of failures with me too. She had some failures with her coach too & was ready to quit trying. On her last try, she did it! She had tried for the platinum award last year too but didn't get it. Such an amazing feat. Plus both her teammates did it too (after some failed attempts as well).

 Her medals for high individual points. One is for the regular season (5th place) & the other is for State (3rd place).

God's Girlz competed at State competition March 28th. They went undefeated!! They were 8 and 0 on the day. They were awarded plaques for 1st place at State and 1st place over the regular season. Their regular season record was 21 & 4. Each girl was in the top 10 in individual points. The girls each competed in the one-on-one "for fun" competitions too. One teammate got 2nd place in the one-on-one competition. Hannah and a teammate tied for 1st in the Quoting Bee because they could have gone on for hours so they just called it a 1st place tie. 

Regionals was supposed to be in Colordao but there isn't a TBQ team in CO to compete with so it got moved to southern CA since there was a CA team and 3 AZ teams. This is saving us a lot of time & money. We've even already booked our Nationals hotel in downtown Phoenix in Jun/July.

But before we even make it to Regionals, we have this other small item coming up-Hannah's spring musical performance in Stardust! Her tech week starts next week so I'll have pictures of that next.
