Another great memory from this series for me is when Norm and the Davidson Wildcat got in a fight at Halton!!
I donāt remember which year it was, but it was one of the first times this series was played in Halton. The Wildcat had a toy horse on a stick and he kept skipping around riding it in front of Norm. He did it one too many times and Norm went after him!! Security had to break them up and the whole crowd was going crazy. I wish we had cell phone cameras back then!! Anyone else remember that?
For the most part, Davidson oldster fans and students donāt come to Halton. I think theyāre skeered of us underclass barbarians. And rightfully so. Itās a shame really because it hurts attendance $ and a fuller arena would be such a better atmosphere. Thatās why the atmosphere at davidson is more intense because we and our students show up and make noise in their little gym.
Wow! Some really good posts. I would say the āquarter throwingā game vs Cinci and Huggy Bear was the most āinfamousā - the players on both sides loved it though. Bobby Brannon his Sr season when asked what team he most liked to play, he said with a sly grin āCharlotteā. My favorite Halton memory - last CUSA 1.0 game vs Cinci with Basden, had my youngest son, it was amazing. If you can find the game, watch it - thatās what Niner BBall was all about.
One memory is then Tulane coach Shawn Finney and Lutz exchanging āpleasantriesā as the teams headed to their respective locker rooms after the first half. Quite a number of F-bombs hurled between the two HCs as they left the court!
I still have my hat and baseball jersey from that program. From what I remember while the program was popular it cost a lot of money and they ended up with a ton of merchandise left over at the end of the year. I think you could only miss one or two home games in order to get the baseball jersey.
DUH! Donāt know how I missed it last time, but found my brick yesterday. It looks good after all these years. I took a picture of it for the first time.
