[Eoscstudents] THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP MONDAY NIGHT

[Andy Mace]

Hello: 
On behalf of the two basketball teams and coaches of the two teams I 
want to give a BIG THANK YOU for your help and participation as fans in 
Monday night's home basketball wins against Hill College, Texas.
A special thanks to the baseball and softball teams and cheerleaders and 
Band and just the general loud student body members who were here and to 
the faculty and administrators and security and boosters and supporters  
who were present.
Both teams have several freshmen and it was important to get the HOME  
season off with wins to get us off and running. Hill men are pre-season 
nationally ranked and mentioned in several publications. Hill women are 
good.
RATIONALE:
We basketball coaches at Eastern feel since ALL  of the HIGH SCHOOLS in 
the 7 county area in southeastern Oklahoma(where we draw most of our 
general students)  have basketball teams and basketball success is VERY 
IMPORTANT to ALL  of the players and their parents and fans of these 
high schools that success at Eastern in basketball would help us draw 
MORE students from these high schools as general students at EASTERN. 
Student numbers and student retention and academic successes and  
graduation success  is what it is all about from a financial stand-point 
to our institution.
It appears this year can be a very successful and prideful  year from 
both basketball teams, both baseball and softball teams and the 
cheerleaders.
Thank you again for your immediate support.
