AUM Men’s Basketball Season Comes to a Wrap

BY: Randy Dunn With the Warhawks’ basketball season coming to an end it did not come with a conference championship or even an invite to the playoffs. Although they came short of those goals and ended the season with a 3-14 record, not all is lost. A big factor that played a part in this disappointing season was COVID-19. The protocols and rules coming into play limited the Warhawks when it came to practicing and being able to become more solid as a team because of the team’s inexperience with only three seniors returning to the roster. Last year, the Warhawks had many junior and senior leaders that knew how to win when games got tough and close. Unfortunately, this year this team was very underclassmen-heavy, which left it on the other side of victory. No matter what, they always c...

Take In Every Moment

BY: Hannah Long COVID-19 has impacted everyone’s lives. For AUM Women’s Soccer, it has impacted their season.  The team plays roughly 17 games each season,and more if they make it to the GSC tournament. During this season, the Lady Warhawks were allowed only six conference games with a one-game guarantee in the playoff tournament. This is not a way the seniors wanted to end their season.  Senior Ali Brewer spoke with me about her senior year and how she wishes things were different. “Yes we are lucky to even have a season, but with only playing six games it is like we didn’t even get one,” Brewer said. “We do get an extra year, which is nice, but for me and some other seniors, we won’t take it because we are graduating and starting our careers.”  The Lady Warhawks pl...
