The first half hour was raffle\/silent auction schmoozy time.  Then they played a really awesome highlight video, gave out some awards, and then the seniors all talked and thanked and thanked some more.  Naama thanking people was super intense&#8230;she said she didn&#8217;t think she&#8217;d make it a month here, but she stayed 5 years, and she had so many good things to say about her teammates, coaches, and the community (really, all 5 seniors did)&#8230;quite the reminder why the program has the following that it does.  Additionally, we don&#8217;t get to see the Lady Rockets looking snazzy very often, and what do you know, they clean up nice (not a very good picture since we didn&#8217;t have very close seats&#8230;all the better for my tearfulness):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theshellybeach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1985.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theshellybeach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1985-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Rockets\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theshellybeach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1985-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theshellybeach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1985-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, 3 players aren&#8217;t coming back next year &#8211; one was no surprise, but at least of the others was kind of a shocker &#8211; and we heard later about another Spanish player they signed for next year.
