Dedication of the Staub Training Room

Saturday, November 15th was a big day at Randolph-Macon.  It started with the dedication of the new Woody & Emby Staub Athletic Training Room.   Woody `84, a former football player and Emby `86, a former basketball player, made it possible for the training room to be renovated into a state of the art center for our student-athletes.  Thanks to Heather Bauby, our Head Athletic Trainer, for the design and the motivation to get this project completed.  The picture included with this blog is of some of our players who attended the dedication. Following the ceremony, was "the Game", also known as the oldest rivalry in the south, and Hampden-Sydney vs Randolph-Macon in football.  This year was a little more significant as the winner was to be the ODAC Champion and move on to NCAA play.  Our guys came up short. Following football was the Tip-Off Classic sponsored by Riesbeck Contracting.  We had opened our season the night before with a huge victory over the pre-season ranked #3 team in the nation, Christopher-Newport.  Saturday's matchup was against a very athletic team from New Jersey, Rutgers-Newark.  Another total team effort resulted in a victory and a 2-0 start to the season.
