Men’s basketball selling raffle tickets, t-shirts to raise money
Swinging away
By Amelia Lutz Staff reporter
Ever dreamed of going to Mexico? Well, if you pur-chase a $5 raffle ticket from a men’s basketball player or coach, you could have a chance to win a trip to Can-cun and $500. Along with the raffle ticket sales, the players are also selling t-shirts and
hooded sweatshirts support-ing the team.
The proceeds from the sales of the merchandise and the tickets help the team ob-tain their own gear for the season. The extra earnings also go toward the teams’ trip to California for a tour-nament in December.
The men’s basketball team is ready to give it their all,
with a handful of returners, as well as some new faces on the court.
Harrison Haugland, unde-clared freshman, said, “I’m excited to be a part of this team. I think it’s going to be a good season for us.”
Some of the players were upset with the ending of last year and look forward to this upcoming season for re-
