Game Notes
Cover the Court:
At the game on Saturday, the Aggies will conduct their first ever "Cover the Court for Kids" game. Fans will be awarded free admission if they bring a toy to donate. They will be asked to line the railing around the Aggie Gym and after Cameron scores their first point, play will stop, and fans will throw any toy that won't harm the floor or the players onto the court (all toys that may harm the floor or the players will be collected off to the side). All toys tossed onto the court will be collected and donated to local charities. Cameron would like to thank the Sheridan Walmart, the 67 Street Walmart, Target, the Cameron Plus program, and the Lawton Firefighters Association for helping with the preparation for this event.
