THE CANNONBALL LIVES?

Strange things were a foot at the basketball game last Wednesday. There was something like five different groups in the house that night. Silver Sands Middle School, Pathways Elementary, the Dancing Greenwaves from Father Lopez, the Lady Bucs dance team from Mainland High School, and a few Embry-Riddle friends from Palm Bay Golf Course here in Daytona.

The Up 'Til Dawn Date Auction was held immediately after the game, and raised over $1,800 with people bidding on Embry-Riddle students to raise money for the St. Jude's Research Foundation. There were just over 20 participants in the auction, including the Human Cannonball.

That's right. The Human Cannonball lives. We don't know what exactly brought him back, or how he escaped a fire-y grave a few months back, or why he chose this moment as his return to the world of the living, but he was there and was auctioned off for an overwhelming $245.

Word spread quickly after the release of the above video. What will this man do next? All you can do is show up and see. This Wednesday is the final home game for the Eagles' basketball team. It is Camo Night and the cheerleaders will be passing out yellow ribbons for the crowd to wear in support of the United States troops. There is a limited number of blue Camo Nation t-shirts (100) that will be passed out, as well.

Should be an unbelievable event. We are trying to set a record for best attendance - both student and overall. We need to have over 950 students and right around 2,000 total spectators to do it. So invite you friends, your aunt, your second cousin. Get them to the game, and in the words of Coach Ridder "let's make a memory together."

Speaking of - if ERAU wins it's final two games, we will be the host of the Sun Conference tournament. Win 5. That's all we have to do to get Ridder bald.
