Men's Basketball- First Practice

Posted by Jerry Conner on 9 September 2009 | 1 Comments

First practice! Wow! You just can't beat the excitement, the energy, the enthusiasm of that very first night on the court.

We have enjoyed a couple of excellent weeks of conditioning and have been tremendously pleased with the work ethic and improvements shown by all the Toppers. Our preseason testing shows that we have made significant gains in strength and speed and that should translate into being a faster and stronger force on the floor.

As we took the court last evening for the initial practice, it was exciting to anticipate what the large number of new players are going to bring to our program and our campus - the skills, the unique abilities, the special personalities!

At the same time there was more than a little feeling of nostalgia. It seemed so strange to look out and not see Jon, Kenny, Whit, Jay, Big Star, and Bama out there getting ready. Guys, you will always be special! You blazed the trail for all that is to follow. Know that you will always be so very deeply appreciated.

GO TOPPERS!!!
