Come one, come all, to Wheelchair Basketball! Wheelchair basketball begins tonight and runs through Saturday. The first game will be held tonight at 7 PM at the historic Foster Auditorium. The Saturday night game will be held at 7 PM Saturday at the Rec Center. Both games are free and open to all, and yours truly will be singing the National Anthem at both those games. This is a great way to support those students with disabilities, and it just proves that people with disabilities can do anything they set their minds to. I’m totally blind and people say I get around this campus better than most of my sighted peers; now that’s saying something. So come show your support this weekend for our students as they literally roll to victory this Friday and Saturday.
Also, while I’m at it, there are a lot of other sporting events going on this weekend here at the Capstone. Women’s softball will play a double header on Friday beginning at 4 PM, when they’ll take on East Carolina, followed by North Dakota State at 6 PM at Rhodes Stadium. They’ll play the same two teams respectively Saturday afternoon at 1:30 PM and 4 PM. They’ll also play SIU on Sunday at 1:30 PM. Meanwhile, Coach Mitch Gaspard and the Tide men’s baseball team will take on Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Friday at 6:05 PM, on Saturday at 2:05 PM and again on Sunday at 1:05 PM at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Coach Anthony Grant and the Tide will take on Mississippi State at Coleman Coliseum at 5 PM. Remember that all games are free to all students with a valid action card.
So come on and watch the Tide roll to victory all weekend long here at the University of Alabama. You and the University of Alabama: ROLL TIDE!
