1992 Miracle Yearbook

Beyond Baseball Baseball stars playing basketball?! Yes, that's right, folks. On Thursday, November 21,1991,the Cincinnati Reds came to town to challenge a team of Cedarville students and alumni to a game of basketball. The team, boasting such as Barry Larkin and Joe Oliver. took the court among the cheers of hundreds of loyal Red's fans, who had cometo see how their heroes would do in a sport other than baseball. From the opening tip-off to the ending buzzer, the game was exciting. The lead changed hands several times, and the first half ended Cedarville and the Reds tied at fifty-one. Because it was community night . half-time was packed with activities. First on the program was the Cedarville Fire Department. Five of the firemen dressed in all of their gear ran on the court and did the "Firemen's Shuffle," complete with rap-like sound effects. It was a big hit! Next up was a free-throw competition. The winner was the lucky recipient of a brand new basketball!There wasalso a shoot-out starting at half-court and moving closer with each contestant until one finally made a basket. While all this was going on,the Reds players were available for autographs and pictures. The second half got off to a quick start and part way throughthe fourth quarter the Reds led by as many as eleven points. The Cedarville team fought back bravely, but they just ran out of time. When the final buzzer sounded,the score was Reds 113, Cedarville 107. The Reds left the court that night having proven that they know more than just baseball. • Mindy Boone Miller, Jennifer Miller, Laura Miller, DiAnn Miller, Michelle Milligan,William Minor,Terrance Misirian,Jonathan Moffett,Susan Mohr,Holly Moles,Dennis Moodie,Cynthia Moon.Elizabeth Moore,Dei dre Moore,Jennifer Morgan, Brian Morgan,Tera Moseley,Sarah Most,Aaron Mon,Cynthia Mullins,Ondrea Murphy,John Murphy,Kelly Must°,Nikki Nelson,Jeffery Nelson, Karen Neudeck,Jeffery New,Brent Nichols, Kenneth Nickel,Christopher Nordaas, Kristi Oetken,Chad Ohnineiss,Jonathan Olachea,Devin Olah, Heidi Olson.
