A small (but significant) group of us went on Thursday night to see the Eagles play Northern Colorado in Reese Court. The basketball game was very exciting. At the end of the second half, the two teams were tied 71-71. In overtime, the Eagles outscored their opponents and managed an impressive win: 91-85. One player, Adris DeLeon (number 10) scored 42 points!
We had a fun time cheering from the stands. They handed out free EWU hand-towels, as well as red and white pom-poms, so we had something to wave everytime a big play was made. The cheerleaders led the crowd, but instead of following along, the crowd just yelled and clapped. The band also helped to get the excitement going and keep the environment loud.
During half-time, EWU students and EWU faculty played a game of dodgeball. Several small red balls were lined up in the middle of the court. From opposite sides the faculty and the students ran to the middle to get the balls. Then, they started throwing them at one another. If a person gets hit by a ball, they are "out" and have to stand at the back of the court. The last side with a player left who is not out, wins the game.
What kind of sports or activities do all of you like? Do you like to play, or just watch? Why do you like it?
