She li'l as a dog!

Kristin brought food for our team Bible study this past Thursday. I sent several players out to get it from her. They took forever to come back, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then it hit me--they were meeting Halle! I was actually a little sad, because I wasn't there to see their reaction. But, as is typical, they weren't short of words and told me all their thoughts. "She cute Coach", one said. A few other comments and then, "She li'l as a dog though, forreal". We all laughed pretty hard, as we got the point but the slang wasn't really a good fit for the situation. Needless to say, this was the first of what we hope will be an enduring relationship between Halle and our students.
