CCC shows off awarded sports banners in the gym, located in Randall Hall.
by Jack Spencer
The Cougar volleyball team had a fantastic season
this last fall, winning the Southern Region champion
ship and taking fourth place In the NWAC tournament
Each of those achievements is awarded a banner at the
end of the season. Those banners are then displayed
high over the gym floor in Randall Hall, which raises
the question: why is it that the tw o banners from the
fall aren’t flying amongst the others?
“Because of space...we are considering redoing all
the sport banners in the gym - having one or two per
sport instead of so many," said athletic director Jim
Martineau in an email explaining the department's
plan for the banners.
There still seems to be a bit of confusion between
the athletic department and the volleyball team. The
players seemed to be waiting for their banner to come
all season and they’re still waiting. They weren’t sure if
they were going to receive their banner right after the
season or a ways down the line. At this rate players
just hope to see them hang before they graduate, it
seems to be a concern for the whole team.
“If they were going to do any changes, they set it
before so we know ahead of time,” said CCC volley
ball head coach Kathie Woods. “Don’t change it right
in the m iddle of things w ithout knowing, because
in volleyball, for example, or any sport, we are very
goal-oriented. What we want to do is we want to be
undefeated and we want to win and one of the things
is we want to get a banner. For us it’s been several
years since we’ve had a banner. We’ve had a lot up
there, but we’ve had a dry spell. So when we got close
to winning I said, ‘Okay this next game is the banner
game’," she added.
The banner was a tool of motivation towards the
end of the season and on into the tournament for
Woods and her team. When the team hadn’t received
its banner, it seemed to cause more confusion for the
team about when they were going to get it.
“We put all the banners from the current year up at
one time at the end of the academic year. If we don’t
make any headway on the big replacement project.
We will have their banners up before they start season
in August,” said Martineau in an email.
It’s clear how the players feel on the subject, “We
kind of talked about it in practice one day and I think
we all kind of came to a consensus that we think the
single banners look better,” said CCC volleyball libero
Sierra VeraCruz. “It’s so intimidating to your oppo
nent. When they come in and see your banners lined
up everywhere they’re kind of like, ‘Wow. When you
come in and you see five, six, seven banners and just
a couple tallies, it's not as intimidating to me.”
