Build it, and they will come
... hole in the ground? Yes, what s that hole in the back yard of Steds? Great question. Despite the word in the hallway, the hole is not a new access point to the underground network of campus tunnels nor is it a sinkhole that opened up overnight, swallowing our old, yet beloved, basketball hoop. It is none of these things, rather, it is where the new Steds basketball hoop will go.
The hoop would have gone up over the summer for the kids to immediately enjoy when they returned from summer, but its installation was delayed out of fear that someone would hit it during move in. And that was a good idea because some one did hit it. Again, the hoop would have gone up sooner, but its installation had to be delayed because of an unknown, underground power cable running right where the hoop was going up. But finally, ground has be broken today, and soon, a new hoop will be had.
On having a new hoop, Steds sophomore, Matt Coffey, said, “I couldn’t dunk before, but with the new hoop, I still won’t be able to dunk,” while fellow Steds sophomore, Chris Meissner, said, "We are all very excited for the opportunity to practice our basketball skills on this new hoop. Our intramural teams sure could use it!"
FYI... the basketball hoop was purchased with ND Day funds. Please remember St. Ed's on ND Day! Do it for the kids!
