State Summer Games Recap

The below is a guest post from Athlete Channing Ewing from our Northwest Area about State Summer Games.

I certainly had fun in Hammond this past weekend. I got to meet Jay Ladner (Southeastern Louisiana Men’s Basketball Coach), Pete Panepinto (Mayor of Hammond), David Vitter (US Senator), and David Ducre (LSU Football Player). It was great getting to see Gordy Rush again (he came to watch me play basketball in Baton Rouge and got me a ticket to the Tiger Tour). As usual, I enjoyed the Dance and Olympic Town which I usually can’t do during State Indoor Games. I really enjoyed it.

Be a Fan in the Stands TONIGHT!

We want you to join us! Celebrating begins, not when the athletes cross the finish line or score the winning goal but when the fans erupt with excitement. Having supportive fans creates an atmosphere the athletes crave to excel in competition. Help us fill the stands and create that excitement at State Summer Games by joining us at Opening Ceremonies. Help us raise the excitement and cheer on our athletes! Join us in Hammond, LA to be Fans in the Stands TONIGHT, Friday, May 22nd at 7:30pm at Southeastern Louisiana University’s Strawberry Stadium.

Reach up and volunteer to cheer!
