The Season Pass

    For those of us on this campus that love our Bobcat athletics, the last couple of weeks have been tough.
    In case you haven’t noticed, there has been not been any varsity athletics going on at our school since our soccer team fell in the semi-finals of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament to Columbus State University on Nov. 2.
    Fortunately your wait is nearly over as basketball is right around the corner with the first home game for the men coming on Monday, Nov. 26, and first PBC conference home games, for both the men and women’s teams, coming Wednesday, Nov. 28, when they will host Clayton State University.
    Clayton is always proves to be a battle for both teams.
    Last season the Bobcats played them twice, falling in the first contest 60-44. However, when GCSU traveled to Clayton to play them in the last game of the regular season the Bobcats showed that they were not a team that the Lakers could just roll over battling hard throughout a back and forth game that went down to the wire. Unfortunately the Bobcats came up on the low end of a 62-62 nail-biter.
    The Lady Bobcats played Clayton an impressive four times last year. Unfortunately they, too, fell each time. The dropped the first contests 77-61 and the second 85-69.
    When the Lady Bobcats ran into the Lady Lakers in the semi-finals of the PBC Tournament, they put up a strong fight, but turning the ball over 20 times proved  to be the difference as Clayton took the game 70-60.
    They would face Clayton one final time, when unfortunately they ran into them in the Sweet-16 round of the Division II NCAA Tournament.
    This game proved to be the most exciting of the year for the ladies, who fell in overtime 66-65. The Lady Bobcats had their opportunities including a chance at the very end of regulation.
    So, when Clayton comes to town you know that there is always a chance for really good games. Come out and support your Bobcats.
    And don’t forget to wear pink in honor of “Pack the house in Pink” to support breast cancer awareness.
