Loyal Loyolans: ”Neighborhood, family, friends, and party” mark the theme for the men`s and women`s basketball openers this week at Alumni Gym.
Coach Will Rey and his Ramblers hope a pre-game pizza party catered by Leona`s can attract students from the nearby dorms for Thursday`s 8 p.m. opener against Rider and its 6-6 main man Jim Cleveland.
Rey, veteran stars Keith Gailes and Keir Rogers as well as less hearalded players have appealed for peer support in appearances at Lake Shore and Downtown campus. A student season ticket book sells for $5 and includes bus rides to and from the Horizon for subsequent games.
– The Marty & Eileen Show: Coach Marty Hawkins and his assistant Eileen McMahon invite Lady Ramblers past and present, their families, and friends to a reception at Alumni Gym after Saturday`s 3 p.m. season opener there against Illinois-Chicago.
The Lady Ramblers, in Hawkins` 10 years at the helm, have built reputations for playing hard while having a good time.
