"O Hail oh Davidson, our dear old Alma Mater . . . Our Fathers loved thee, gave their best to thee . . . and still today, their loyal sons and daughters follow them on, and pledge their loyalty . . ."
The Davidson Wildcats, formerly great in the 1960's under former head coach Lefty Dreisel, are now "at it again."
That small (tiny!) liberal arts college founded by Presbyterians (PCUSA) just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina is now in the "Sweet 16" of NCAA men's college basketball super-stardom!
As a former All-Academic Offensive Guard in Football (turned Offensive Center) at Davidson College, and as someone who actually daily played pick-up hoops with the then N.I.T. tournament 'Cats, I am utterly in shock!
Yes, Dell Curry's son plays for us now, but the sweet 16!!!
Rhode's scholars at Davidson . . . YES!
Senator's sons and daughters, well, perhaps (if their S.A.T. scores are high enough! ;-)
But the 'elite' 16 of men's basketball???
GOD MUST be a Presbyterian!!! (and yes, if the Providence of GOD has issued a direct order that the Davidson 'Cats are to be in the 'sweet 16' then so be it!!!).
So, there you have it. The Davidson Wildcats are 'back in action . . .' It took over three decades, but here we go!
Love in Jesus Christ, Rob J. King (Roman Catholic Davidsonian)
