Back the Jackets Alumni Basketball Weekend, which coincided with Cedarville’s 125th anniversary, kicked off with a special Charter Day chapel on Thursday (see cedarville.edu/125 if you missed it). The celebration continued into Friday as alumni and the Cedarville family enjoyed an elegant evening at the Dayton Art Institute. Saturday was filled with the usual blue and gold, Jacket-cheering, pep-band-playing mania. Former basketball players were competitive in the men’s and women’s alumni games that day, and that evening, the varsity teams faced the Urbana Blue Knights. At halftime of the men’s game, a special ceremony honored former men’s head basketball coaches: John Townsley ’50 who stood in for Bob Underwood (coached 1953–57), Sherm Bowser (coached 1957–60), Don Callan (coached 1960–95), Jeff Reep ’78 (coached 1995–2000), and Ray Slagle (coached 2000–08). It was a great way to mark 125 years of inspiring greatness! If you would like to contact a friend highlighted in this section, please email us at alumni@cedarville.edu.
