If you haven’t been paying attention to Campbell sports this fall, now is the time to start. Between a football turnaround and a championship tournament coming to Buies Creek, there’s a lot to cheer about.
Football’s Big Comeback Year
Last season, the Camels finished 2-10. This year? They’re 8-2, ranked No. 16 in the country, and still climbing.
Last Saturday’s game against Stony Brook was a perfect example. Down by two touchdowns in the second half, the Camels scored the final 28 points to win 48-35. A 95-yard kickoff return touchdown by Jon Gullette kicked off the comeback, and quarterback Kamden Sixkiller threw for 396 yards and four touchdowns.
The Camels head to Elon this Saturday at 2:00 PM, then come home for Senior Day against Monmouth on November 21 at noon. That’s the last home game of the regular season, so it’s your last chance to see this team at Barker-Lane this year.
Volleyball Brings the Championship Home
As the defending conference champions, the Camels are hosting the CAA Volleyball Championships right here in Buies Creek, November 19 through 21. Having a championship tournament on our own campus doesn’t happen often. Grab some friends, wear your orange, and help the Camels defend their title at home.
First, they finish the regular season at Charleston this Friday and Saturday.
Basketball Is Back
Both basketball teams have tipped off their seasons. Women’s basketball plays at home against Furman this Saturday at Gore Arena, so it’s a great chance to catch a game before Thanksgiving break.
Why It Matters
College sports are better with a crowd. The energy in the stands really does make a difference, and seasons like this one don’t come around every year. Before finals take over your life, make time to catch at least one game.
See You in the Stands!
