2006 Miracle Yearbook

Men's Basketball The crowd is on the edge of their seats, all hope waning. The Jack- ets trail 58-52 with only 1:21 left in the game. In a matter of sec- onds they score a three pointer, and Walsh is only leading by 3. Then when we thought all was lost, Ryan Short shot a seemingly impossible three point shot. He made it! The crowd jumped to their feet scream- ing! The Jackets had managed to tie up a grueling game with only 18 seconds left to go! What a shot, what a shot! History was made here tonight. Although we might have lost that game, we fought our hearts out. This year's basketball season was definitely rough. But with new- comers like Daniel Rose and Grant Walker, the team was able to post a 20-11 overall season and a 13-5 American Mideast Conference.

We also said goodbye to team captain Eric Huffer and center Drew Borton, who holds 1,027 career points. The Jackets made it to the NAIA qualifying tournament but lost to Mount Vernon 56-61. They finished their season at the NCCAA Midwest regional title game, losing 98-92 to Spring Arbor. Cedarville basketball games are standing traditions that bring out the true colors of our students. Some go for the sport, some for the social aspect, and most just for a free night of fun and excitement. It is amazing to see how the school comes together to support our players. One night was most memorable when a player from the oppos- ing team was injured, and the Jacket boys gathered on the court and prayed for him in the middle of the game. There was no better way to show the true spirit of CU. in Ri d€ sh th fo lo pr or th St Sh of dc ou rn 11.11 Embry-Riddle L 66-71 11.12 Indiana Tech W 93-72 11.18 Saint Vincent W 82-57 11.19 Seton Hill W 75-61 11.22 at Malone W 98-74 11.26 Taylor W 80-64 11.29 Rio Grande W 100-57 12.2 at Point Park L 87-90 12.3 at Geneva W 74-70 12.6 Wittenberg L 59-65 12.10 Shawnee State W 91-76 12.20 Huntington L 75-79 1.3 Wilberforce W 80-51 1.7 at Mt Vernon W 87-74 1.10 at Urbana L 69-92 1.12 at Rio Grande W 88-76 4 1.14 1.17 1.21 1.24 1.28 Ohio Dominican Tiffin Walsh at Shawnee State Mt Vernon W 87-85 W 86-69 L 58-60 L 67-68 L 81-86 1.31 at Wilberforce W 74-64 2.4 at Ohio Dominican W 72-58 2.7 Urbana L 64-77 2.11 at Walsh W 79-71 2.14 at Tiffin W 78-71 2.18 Malone W 86-84 2.21 Urbana W 84-76 2.25 at Point Park W 119-93 2.28 at Mt Vernon L 56-61
