Review: Kyle Hines’ “Just A Kid From Sicklerville”, Parts 1-3

Monique WilliamsStaff Writer Athletes have to fulfill many responsibilities, such as attending practice, exercising regularly, traveling, being aware of their diets, conditioning—the list goes on. Yes, playing that sport is their job, but they are human beings with relationships and families, just like us. For instance, when you tune in to a Golden State Warriors game, you see Stephen Curry’s dad or wife in the … Continue reading Review: Kyle Hines’ “Just A Kid From Sicklerville”, Parts 1-3

UNCG Secures 20th Victory, Plows Past VMI, 93-66

That all seems like a bad dream now, as UNCG (20-3, 9-1 in SoCon) continued its historic start last Thursday, crushing the VMI Keydets (7-15, 1-9 in SoCon) 93-66 at the Coliseum to secure … Continue reading UNCG Secures 20th Victory, Plows Past VMI, 93-66

Column: Two Worlds of Sport – Part II

Douglas BurnsStaff Writer Sports in the United States, typically, do not denote who you are going to vote for as a citizen. They also don’t denote how typically wealthy you are, either. In Scotland, this is just not the case. The following is not an exact science and should not be taken as such; it is simply my point of view. Another disclaimer I must … Continue reading Column: Two Worlds of Sport – Part II

On the Road as a Student-Athlete

Alexis PitchfordStaff Writer Part of the stereotypical perspectives of student-athletes are that we either don’t go to class or don’t do our homework. People perceive us as focusing more on the athlete part of our lives than the student part. During last weekend’s road trip to Johnson City and Chattanooga to play East Tennessee State and Chattanooga, respectively, a city local asked me, “What is … Continue reading On the Road as a Student-Athlete

Column: Two Worlds of Sport – Part One

Douglas BurnsStaff Writer Sports are unilaterally known to be a great binder and a great divider. It is a paradox of itself. I have lived in two separate countries with two incredibly different cultures of sport. What is the difference? What is sports culture like in Scotland? What is it like in the US? Those were the (fairly ominous) questions that my editor presented to … Continue reading Column: Two Worlds of Sport – Part One
