TranSouth Champions - Twice!

These past two nights have been great here at the U! First on Monday night, the women's basketball team took to the courts against Trevecca (from the Nashville area). What started as a few close first minutes turned into total dominance by the Lady Bulldogs. We have only been beaten once this season, and that was back in late December/early January. Since then, we have been on a tremendous winning streak, and we are carrying that into the NAIA tournament next week, hopefully to become the '08-'09 NAIA Champions!

Then last night, students filled the gym for the second game of the week. This time the men played for the championship against Freed Hardeman University, a team just a few minutes from campus. They brought their student section to the Fred (our gym) and we had an all out student section battle throughout the game. But was it really a game? Again, it was for the first few minutes, when the scores were fairly close. But about midway through the first half, we stretched the lead out and there was no turning back at that point. The men won the championship, making us champions twice this week! They are headed to the big tournament as well, and if they play like they played last, then they have a good shot at winning it all as well.

Spring Break is right around the corner as well, and everyone knows it. Not only are we all in need of a break, the tests and papers are beginning to pile up for the "mid-term" section of the semester. I got one test out of the way today, but I still have two more along with a paper before I can leave campus next Saturday. It has already been a long semester, but Spring Break will be here soon.

And with Spring Break comes GO Trip for me. Next Saturday, the 21st, I will be heading to Hays, Kansas while we work at Fort Hays State. Plans are being finalized, and we discussed our schedule for the week during our last team meeting. We will probably know more tomorrow night, and I will be sure to post some of the things that we will be doing during the week before I leave for the trip.

That is the latest from the TranSouth Champion Union University.
