2006 Miracle Yearbook

The field house was packed, and anticipation ran high throughout the student body and faculty in attendance. I was immediately caught up in the excitement, eager for the events of the evening to unfold. To start off the evening, the women's basketball team took the court. Their determination was demonstrated through their attitude and excellent skills in the game. The highlight of the night was the dunk contest. Walter Strickland took this competition to a new level as he demonstrated his talent and was named the Dunk Champion. Putting down one more dunk after receiving the victory confirmed that he was truly the best. The three-point shooting contest between the women's and men's teams proved to be an exciting event. As the crowd kept score, the men's team easily took over the opposition. In similar fashion, a few faculty members from the Bible Department challenged key administrative faculty to yet another three-point shooting contest. Dr. Scott Dixon led the Bible Department to victory with ease. The evening ended with a head-to-head scrimmage of the men's basketball team. The intensity of the game grew quickly as the team showed off their talent and drive for perfection. Halftime gave a few of the male players the chance to goof off with some dunking as well. Freshman Ryan Short brought the fans to their feet as he dunked with ease. "All I could say was'wow'when Ryan threw down that wicked sweet 360!" said senior Justin Mattern. Freshman Kyle Smith wrapped up his thoughts of the night, saying, "Moonlight Madness was primo. Free drinks, basketballers, hard bleacher seats, overall a good time." This year's Jacket season proves to be promising if both men's and women's basketball teams continue to play with the passion that was displayed on the court tonight. A. MichelleDavidson, bass drum player in the pep band, enjoys playing with -4. Looking at this picture, it is apparent Who the team plays for. "Major the group because they make attending the games a lot of fun. "It's good differences coming together in sickness and health for one cause," music at a good game!" player Chris Walker states about the team. 22 Fall
