What a great sound around campus this morning. We had volleyball players that were already in the gym early this morning. If a person would look out on the track we also had our cheerleaders practicing with the cross country kids in the background completing cooldown laps. Our football team just took the field to get in a light practice before their scrimmage tomorrow morning at 10am. Our soccer team has two home games tonight and tomorrow. To say "Bison Are Back" is an understatement.
