A crowd of roughly 200, including the
members of the 10 teams competing in this 2003 event, attended a
banquet in their honor Wednesday evening. The banquet was in a
candlelit edition of Henderson Hall on LCC's campus. The coaches,
players, families and dignitaries were treated to a wonderful dinner
and saw some trophies and awards passed out.
The banquet featured a stirring talk
delivered by perhaps the greatest athlete in central Illinois, Miss
Jean Driscoll. Driscoll is an eight-time winner of the Boston
Marathon, a two-time silver medalist at the Olympics and the holder
of countless other world records and awards. Though highly
accomplished in her field of sports, that is nothing compared to her
testimony!
Games start
at 10 a.m. and then go every two hours Friday. The semifinals will
be Saturday morning, and the national championship game is set for
Saturday afternoon. There are STILL a few great seats available for
this family fun fest. Call 732-3168 for tickets or pick them up at
the box office. A great crowd from the community would make a
favorable impression on 10 teams visiting Lincoln from all over the
country.
