End of the Year

The men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments are now over and we have to wait seven months to catch any college basketball action!! I guess I’ll have to find other ways to fill my time. The men’s championship was a tremendous game and being an ACC fan I was happy for Duke but the Butler Bulldogs were sure fun to watch. What a great game!! The women’s game was another UCONN victory and an ugly one at that!! It’ll be interesting to see if some of the other programs can rise to their level and challenge next year. Teams that come to mind are Baylor (they do have 6-8 freshmen Brittney Griner), Duke, Nebraska, and of course, the Lady Vols. I can’t wait!!

We had Founder’s Day here at BC on Tuesday and retired volleyball coach Mary Frances Heishman was named Outstanding Professor. Congratulations Coach Heishman on a well-deserved honor! With Founder’s Day comes the realization that the school year is almost over! Spring sports have two weeks left until O.D.A.C. tournaments and if I counted correctly, there is about five weeks until graduation. It sure seems like it was a short school year.

Good luck to all our spring sports in their quest for an O.D.A.C. championship!! As always …GO EAGLES!!
