A ton of action going on this weekend around Buff and Lady Buff Athletics.
We have both cross country teams heading to Lubbock tomorrow evening to compete in their first meet of the season. So, good luck to those ladies and the guys. I know both coach Sweetgall and coach Dudley have just been anxiously waiting for this day to get here. Well, it's here! Have a great meet.
Volleyball will host Texas Woman's at 1 p.m. on Saturday. It is Dig Pink weekend and the entire Lady Buff volleyball program will be on hand, proudly showing their support for Breast Cancer awareness. A pretty good high school match will be played before the Lady Buffs take the court, as Canyon High and Randall High will meet each other at "The Box". Should be a great day of volleyball for all to enjoy.
Once you leave the fieldhouse, just head straight towards Kimbrough Memorial and put your tailgating hat on, because a few hours later it will be kickoff time for the Buffs' first home game of the season. Coach Carthel and the entire Buff team are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play in from of the home crowd - finally. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.
But... I know, how could there be more? Well, I did tease the fact that the big weekend actually starts tonight. And it does in a big way as the Lady Buff volleyball team returns home to "The Box" to host Texas A&M-Commerce tonight in the team's first Lone Star Conference match of the season. They will do so with a piece of history on the line - the program's 49 consecutive LSC-match winning streak.
WT has won 49 straight matches against an LSC opponent dating back to Nov. 5, 2005. For those of you whom may not know - the seniors on the team last season went through their entire playing career at WT with an unblemished record in conference play. That is pretty amazing in this day and age - no matter what division you are in.
Now, seniors Lauren Thedford and Teresa Dunn will get their opportunity to do the same thing, and it all starts tonight. 7 p.m. at "The Box". Come out and help the Lady Buffs get win No. 50!
Go Buffs. Go Lady Buffs.
