Hey Everyone,
The semester will be done in less than a month, so of course all the students on campus are working hard to get everything done for classes. This time of the year can always be stressful for most students who find themselves facing a growing workload, so its nice when we have something exciting to distract us! Luckily, we have a ton of different sports teams we can go support right now, and they’re all doing really well!
Our Basketball teams started their seasons on Friday, starting with the Girls team facing off against Ohio State. Unfortunately, the game ended 84-75 for the Buckeyes, but the girl’s team did show a strong start for the season and team member Qwedia Wallace scored a career-high 32 points for Temple. The girl’s game led right into the boy’s game against Seton Hall. The guy’s team played a good game too and beat the Pirates 62-56. The Boys played again on Sunday and royally kicked the Toledo Rocket’s butts, 82-49!

The games are insanely fun for students to attend and we have a great stadium. Tickets a free for students and if you are a Wild Cherry member you are guaranteed a spot in the student section, the best place to sit at games. The cheers are always crazy and some of the students really get into the game by painting their faces or dressing up. It can get a little rowdy in that section, but is definitely worth the sore throat you may have after the game!
Last night the football team played their last home game of the season, and even with the rainy weather, a lot of students still went out to support the team. It was a tough loss to Ohio, but the Owls still played a good game and maintain a strong ranking in the Mid-Atlantic Standings. I’m excited for next weeks game, and hopefully there will be another Bowl game this season too!

Even if you’re not the biggest sports fan, going to the games and supporting the team is still a fun way to get involved at school. I don’t know too much about the game, but I still enjoy cheering the teams on to victory! That’s all I have for now, have to get back to all my projects for class. Till next time,
-Taylor
