Men's basketball banquet

I am a pretty big fan of our men's basketball team here at GC. I go to all the home games and have travelled to many of the away games. I have had an RA that played on the team the past three years and will have another one this coming fall. Since one of the guys on the team is an RA it usually ends up that most of the team lives on his floor. This has granted me the opportunity to get to know the guys on the team pretty well. The notice that I attend their games and appreciate it.

The coach took note of my presence at many of the games - esp the one I drove 2 hours in a blizzard to get to and the one at Bluffton over Christmas break. As a thank you for my support he invited me to the team's end of the year banquet. It was held on Saturday. There was a nice catered meal followed by the presentation of several awards and a time of honoring of the seniors. It was a fun afternoon/evening! Here's a photo of the seniors and the coaches.

It's been incredibly fun to watch Nate and Errick play ball at GC the past 4 years. Both are phenomenal athletes in their own way and have brought a lot to the program. I will miss them on AND off the court!
