Cheer, Students, Cheer!
If you find your way to an HPU sports event, chances are you will find or hear me there. Yes, I’m present on a pretty constant basis. I admit I’m not always the best fan, though. I also admit that neither are you.The sparse number of students who actually make it to games is quiet, only cheering when we are ahead and never cheering during the middle.Go to soccer game, and the crowd seems to be at a movie that you are allowed to socialize at. Going to games isn’t all about being seen by friends. Going to games includes being seen by friends and cheering your fellow students to victory in all sports.It’s sad to think about how much we supported our basketball team during last year’s record number of wins, yet the volleyball team sets precedents of its own this year, and still few people cheer during games.These women have already won 22 games, setting an HPU record for wins in Division I. In 1996, the team won 26 games but that was before reaching Division I. It has been a decade since the volleyball team has been over .500. Should these women not only have peers in the seats but cheering proudly for their hard effort on the court?I see more students in the stands than last year. But I see too much of the same thing of just sitting there. Let’s do more than just sit and watch a game. Let’s be fans!The men’s soccer team has been up and down this year. It didn’t win a game at home until October. Playing at Vert has not been much of an uplifter because it isn’t a fierce environment. It isn’t scary for teams to come to the High-est Point in the Big South. They simply came to another soccer stadium for another game.It’s time we show what it is like to come to High Point University and not just merely welcome guests. We will host them nicely, of course. We will treat them will the common courtesy that is standard. But most importantly, we will cheer our hearts out for HPU.We shall be loud and raucous to tell other teams, this is High Point University and we are proud of our team, no matter the score of the game. I’m not asking for much, just trying to raise the bar…
