Grace College invited us (Grace Village residents) to attend the Women's and Men's basketball games free. They announced our attendance over the loudspeaker and had refreshments in the alumni suite for us. They provided a shuttle bus for those who needed transportation. I would say 30-40 attended, about a third apartment residents, the rest condo dwellers.
Besides a fruit tray, there were crackers and cheese and cookies. Also soft drinks and bottled water. We spent a little time in the alumni suite, but most of the time we were in the stands watching the games.
The mascot for the team is a knight.
The women played Holy Cross College. Grace College won.
The cheerleaders performed at both the women's and the men's games. The do acrobatic stuff besides the traditional cheers. One of the pyramids collapsed but thankfully nobody was hurt.
The men played Saint Xavier College. We left at 9 p.m., but we learned that Grace did win the game.
Entertaining me was a 3-year-old fan right in front of me. I know her age because when the men's game started, she went down 2 rows to play with a little blonde girl. Blondie asked her how old she was. 3 fingers were held up. Blondie then held up 5 fingers and said, "I'm five" and made it pretty clear she was going to be the boss.
Earlier, I showed the little girl that my Skecher shoes had pink knobs on the bottom; she wore shoes with part of the sole pink. She was pretty impressed that we had similar shoes. I wondered if her mom who was not at the game knew what the dad was feeding his two daughters 8 o'clock at night (cheese nachos). The older girl was not in front of us the whole time; I think she too must have found a friend to sit with. But she settled in to get her share of nachos.
