Follow John Smith in Portugal!

Hey Warrior fans, I hope everyone is getting ready for the season as we are only 8 day away!

We have some great news that former Winona State star, John Smith, is now playing professionally over in Portugal. He left a couple of weeks ago to take part in per-season activities and his season will be beginning soon. For those of you who want to follow John he has set up a blog at the following site - http://johnsmithbasketball.blogspot.com Just copy and paste that in your web browser and it should take right to his web site. I will also be putting a link in our "links" area here for you to follow him through that as well. We wish John the best of luck on his new journey and look forward to keeping in contact with him as he blogs back to all of us. Good luck John!!!

A quick update on a couple of items that will be coming up soon for the current Warrior squad. First we will be holding "Warrior Madness" on October 15th. The event, which will also include our women's basketball team, is in part to raise money for breast cancer and is in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Weekend here at WSU. The door will open for the event starting at 6:00, admission for the event is $1 with that going to Winona Health Mammography. Also a meal will be offered from Hy-Vee from 6-7 pm, the cost of the meal is $5 with $2 from the meal going to Winona Health Mammography. Finally at 7 pm the men's and women's team will take the court for a 3 point shooting contest, dunk contest and short scrimmage. Also during this time there will be a ton of different give aways and drawings for those in attendance. Then on Saturday October 17th we will be holding an open scrimmage to the public starting at 9:30 in the morning. Admission is FREE and we will be going up and down for around an 1 1/2 hours. This will be a great opportunity to see the players in full action for the first time of the year. We hope to see all of you at both of these events. GO WARRIORS!!!!
