Sports
Lacrosse wasn't always a huge dream for me.
In fact, lacrosse in my area wasn’t even accessible to young girls until my mom got people together to start up a youth program that fed into my high school. My older brother played lacrosse and I wanted to do what he did.
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Golden Flashes gymnastics team posted a decisive win at home - capturing four event titles.
Growing up as the youngest with three older brothers, sports were always a big part of my life. And out of all the sports I played, basketball was the one that stuck with me.
During his time at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ, Saban earned three letters in football and one in baseball from 1970 to 1972. In 1973, he was a graduate assistant coach and defensive assistant for the Flashes. He was inducted into the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Varsity K Hall of Fame in 2015.
Golden Flashes football team members spent a recent afternoon visiting with students at the LeBron James Family Foundation’s I Promise School in Akron, Ohio, where they checked out the school’s facilities and spent time reading to youngsters.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ staff and student-athletes took a trip at the beginning of 2024 to Boneza, Rwanda, to give of themselves. But they never expected how much they would receive in return.
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ defeated Bowling Green, 82-74, Saturday at the Stroh Center to give head coach his 300th career win. Starkey has won 135 games as the leader of the Golden Flashes and is now tied with Laurel Wartluft for the second most wins in program history.
Growing up, basketball was always a huge part of my life. It all stemmed from watching my older cousin play. In high school, he was a highly recruited player, and every school in the nation wanted him. Watching him play and going to his tournaments made me want to pick up the game and do the same thing.
Every single Golden Flash program posted a term grade-point average (GPA) above a 3.0 for the first time in history, highlighting an exemplary semester in the classroom for °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Athletics.
On a special field trip day, more than 1,500 students from local elementary schools cheered °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ's women's basketball team to victory.
