Come rain or, well, rain, I’ll be out at the Eakes Complex at Campbell University in Buies Creek at 3 p.m. tomorrow to cheer on the Fighting Camels as they take on Jacksonville in the final of the Atlantic Sun Conference men’s soccer tournament.
I’ve been following this team for seven seasons now. I started watching them when current coach Doug Hess was in his first season with them too.
They went 6-11 that year, 3-5 in the conference. This year, they’re 14-5, 9-0 in the A-Sun and riding a 12-match winning streak. It’s been a fun ride.
Last night they leveled Belmont 7-1. I missed the first half. They were 6-0 up by the time I got there. Randy Capps saw it all. Probably just as well though, because they tend to play better when I’m not there.
Maybe I shouldn’t go tomorrow. But watching football in the rain makes me feel closer to home.
Have a good weekend.
Jessica
