Senior Night at Anderson University marks the end of regular home games at Abney Center Gym. This year it was even more special because this was long serving Athletic Director Bobby Beville's final night too. Bobby has accepted a position with the City Parks and Recreation department.

The Guys played first tonight, and after honoring the seniors # 3 John LeSueur and # 12 J.R. Howell the tip off came. A.U. set the pace early and stayed close all the way but the 3 point shooting by Saints was too much to overcome. Final score a close 68 - 72.

The girls honored three seniors tonight # 34 Kimberly Williams, # 15 Kim Hausman, and # 22 Deidra Langston. The game started with Anderson taking full control and Limestone just could not regain the lead. Anderson showed why they are a Nationally Ranked Team. Winning the last regular home game 79 - 61.

The Lady Trojans made the playoffs and play next wednesday the 28th home at A.U.

During the halftime of the girls game Anderson University honored Bobby Beville and retired his old baseball number ( 44 ). Bobby had as Baseball coach led the Trojans to a national championship in the 90's. President Whitaker also announced that at the request of Erskine College and with A.U. 's full hearted approval the Anderson / Erskine trophy cup will be renamed the Bobby Beville cup in his honor. A reception for Bobby followed the game.




A.U. was also honored tonight by hosting the official NCAA Basket Ball Mascot ...J.J. Jumper who preformed during breaks and gave away shirts and other items. I got a shirt and a book bag .... Me and J. J. We're tight.
