1996 Miracle Yearbook

Have you ever been in a place where the atmosphere was so loud that you could not hear yourselfthink? Ifyou can answer that question with a no,then you have obviously never attended a Cedarville basketball game. The cheerleaders, with the help ofthe pep band, lead the fans in orga- nized chaos. If there is one thing that Cedarville has, it's school spirit. This applies not only to basketball but to the college's en- tire athletic program. Everyone gets involved. Faculty, staff, and students are proud of the sports program and ofthe athletes who participate in it. You have not seen a real smile until Dr. Dixon comes to the pul- pit on the morning following a victory for one ofthe teams. Ob- viously, we all like to win, but Cedarville fans have a reputation for being"goodlosers." Theposi- tivetestimonythatthe collegefam- ily demonstrates at the games is frequentlycommentedonbyother coaches, referees and opposing fans. At Cedarville, we know that our testimony will dictate what others think ofus and it is impor- tant that we are making a good representation ofJesus Christ. It doesn't matter whether we are winning or losing, people are watching us and hopefully they can appreciate what they see. Brenda Kregel rFans Got Spirit.
