April 18, 2007: This will be the final post on www.BacktheJackets.com. Thank you to each of you who have visited and read for part or all of the last 15 months or so. I enjoyed bringing you a fan's perspective on Cedarville basketball. I have always loved watching, writing about, and talking about sports...and that won't ever change. However, my spare time will now be devoted to a different level of basketball. My wife has been named a high school basketball coach, and my sports time and energy will be focused on that program in the future. A few final thoughts to Cedarville fans everywhere, based on my experience from freshman year (2000) to now: 1. We have the best players and coaching staff a school could ask for. They're worth supporting and encouraging. Thanks especially to Coach Martin and Slagle for putting up with my endless questions...and guys, you'll never have to say "don't you dare write that on your blog" from now on! 2. There's more to life than basketball. I've been proud to be a Cedarville fan after big wins...and big losses. 3. Be louder at home games! The noise factor IS a factor...consistently overwhelm the visitors with sound! Momentum is huge. 4. I'll always be a Cedarville basketball fan. Just because I won't have the free time in my schedule to be at as many games (and therefore don't have enough knowledge to keep up with the blogging), I'm looking forward to many more seasons of exciting Jacket basketball. I'll be following a little more at a distance...but just like you, I will continue to... Back the Jackets! Tim Cary Class of 2004 Springfield, Ohio |
