J-Term is in Full Swing

January Term is always an interesting time on the Randolph-Macon College campus. It is a great time to do a travel course--a little more difficult for a basketball player, but our other sports athletes are able to do so. Basketball players usually do their travel courses in the summer, if they have the desire to do such a thing. J-term is also a very good time to do an internship and we have had several players through the years take advantage of this opportunity. Jennifer is currently working with a local firm in their accounting office and is thoroughly enjoying the experience. It is fun to see some of our athletes hustling and bustling to their internships. They have to work a full day of work and then come to their practice or team stuff. It is quite demanding for them, but it sure does prepare them for what's beyond their athletic career. We have only two more weeks of J-term before we start second semester. In talking with some of them, they will be ready to get back to being just a college student.

Cold, Cold, Cold

Not only has our shooting been as cold as it ever has, it has been cold in Ashland. As a matter of fact, it was the 7th coldest December on record according to my oil company. Why even the snow we had before and after Christmas hasn't even melted in some places. That is unusual for Ashland. Hopefully 2011 will be warmer in all aspects. My New Year's wish was for the team/players to have a hot hand as we begin the remainder of our conference schedule. This weekend we'll see how work and wishes go together.
