Fans will have a chance to help kick off the Gordon College basketball season with a "Meet the Teams Night" this Thursday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. The men's team and the women's club team will each play a short scrimmage with the cheerleaders and the SWAZI steppers performing at halftime. The event is free and open to the public.
"We're looking at a good year with a lot of new players with solid high school experience," said Israel Ingle, coach of the men's and women's teams. "We have three returning players as well as six players topping 6'5" or taller." Ingle says the women's team, which will play as a club team this year, also looks impressive. "We look forward to growing the women's club team as we have the men's team over the past few years and eventually moving the women into the NJCAA," Ingle said. "There is a lot of talent on the team." The men will open their season on the road against Northwest Florida State College on Nov. 2. The first home game is Wednesday, Nov. 4 against Brewton Parker College. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. Season tickets are available for $40 which includes a basketball T-shirt and reserved seating.
