Cedar Point Sports Center Tour

 Today I had the privilege of touring the Cedar Point Sports Center in Sandusky, Ohio. When we first got there, we were met with one of their employees who kind of explained the entirety of the building and what we would all be seeing during the day. We started off on the basketball and volleyball courts. In the facility, there is room for 20 volleyball courts and 10 basketball courts. He also mentioned that the court surface itself is NBA grade which means that pros play on the exact same surface that the players play there. He explained some events that they could hold inside the building. He explains how anything from jujitsu to gymnastics competitions has been in that building. There are also local youth programs being held during the week in the facility with travel tournaments being held on the weekends with teams traveling from areas all over. The next thing we saw was "The championship court." This was the coolest part of the tour in my opinion because of the set up of the gym itself. He said there was room for up to 7,000 people to be packed into that small gym where seating is kind of limited I can just imagine the atmosphere in that gym when all the bleachers are packed full of spectators. He also showed us some rock climbing walls and even a Ninja obstacle course that was in the facility. He also explained some money situations with how they handle teams coming in and what money is going where. Lastly, there was a capstone group with us today and their task was to come up with a replacement for the arcade that is in the facility. The proposed solution was a sports bar. Although I am not in capstone, I thought it was interesting to hear all that went into planning a whole new area of the building and what was necessary for it to be successful. Overall, I thought it was a great trip and I am looking forward to more facility tours in the future.

    Noah, the CPSC is awesome! I was lucky enough to be there as well and it was a great tour. I am happy that they are my client for capstone. Maybe you'll get them too next year!

Coming to an End

 If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me.  Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives.  Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so

Football is Over

 After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of

Bounce Back

The game on Saturday was not fun. If you don't already know we got upset very badly at Musky. I don't think anyone on the team really expected us to lose this game. We had an iffy week of practice, but I don't think anyone really predicted that we would end up losing the game. In my personal opinion, I thought that we were the better team with more talented players, but we just didn't get it done. I felt embarrassed and upset after this game. I was in pure shock. I had a long bus ride home to think about how the game went as a whole and what we exactly did right and wrong. I did a lot of soul searching on the way home and I realized that I have to be better and it starts now.  What is most important now is to bounce back. There is no point in dwelling on this game anymore. There is nothing that we can do about it anymore so we shouldn't think about it. The only thing that we as a team can do is to bounce back. It all starts during practice. Everyone knows the saying
