This past Saturday, January 19, we had a great turnout for the annual Trinity Basketball Alumni Day. With events taking place all day, our alums and family were able to reconnect with one another and catch up on old times.
The first event of the day was the Alumni Game, which matched up the young alums (5 years and under) against the old alums (5+ years). It proved to be a very exciting game, with the "fresh" legs of the young alums coming out victorious by 2 points! Our current Tigers stuck around to watch the old guys in action and some even helped officiate and run the scoreboard. An important aspect of Alumni Day is for our current players to interact with alumni and gain a sense of the Trinity Basketball Family they will always be a part of. This year was particularly special as a majority of the parents from the 2008-09 team also returned to campus. What a special group of friends and family!
After the Alumni Game, we hosted our second annual Alumni Happy Hour at Bombay Bicycle Club. This was an opportunity for all alums and families to catch up over drinks and hors d'oeuvres. A special thanks goes out to Bill, for having the group!
To finish the day, the alums and family headed back over to Sam's Gymnasium to watch our Tigers host SCAC rival Southwestern University. As players, the guys never got to experience the joys of being a "heckling fan", therefore it always seems that when our alumni return to campus, they become the most boisterous! It is always great fun to see the guys in the stands, supporting our guys to victory. (please note the matching fan-attire)
We would like to thank all of the alumni and family that came back to San Antonio. We understand all of your busy schedules and appreciate the time you take to continue to be a part of the Trinity Basketball Family.
