2005 Miracle Yearbook

Kicking off the men's and women's basketball season, Moonlight Madness took place on October 22 from 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. The night included events such as full court drills by both teams,a three-point competition between the men's and women's teams, and a slam dunk contest. It also brought about the introduction of the Callan Crazies t-shirts as well as the pep band's and cheerleaders' first performances. The Lady Jackets took the floor first for warm ups and a full court drill. "The cheerleaders ran out in the middle of the floor to do their routine right in the middle of the gym. So after running into a few, we had to split up and go to each end, and we couldn't use the c rt for basketball. It was pretty funny to look up the court to pass the ball and all of a sudden there were cheerle ers all over," Kristi Beougher said. The men's team started their warm up afterward. "It's funny how while we e playing, it was so relaxed on the court. We talked to each other while guarding each other,trying to ke each other laugh or mess up," Eric Leininger said. The contestants in the three point contest were Donyo Frisco, Josh rilli, and Jason Weakley for the men's team and Kari Flunker, Tami Gheen, and Kylee Teb for the women's team. The women took the win in the final seconds of the competition. Kari Flunker said,"Beating the guys in the three-point shootout was so much fun. It's always especially with the whole student body backing A slam dunk contest was one of the night's highlights, with Sam Wanderi yable to compete against them and win, winning to the crowd's huge cheers. Freshman Sarah Sherick loved being "a part of the excitement" by playing in the pep band at Moonlight Madness. For her, the best part was "watching the girls win the foul shot competition!"
