Midnight Madness: Basketball and antics hit campus

Jenny O’Leary, senior, child development, wins the musical chair contest at Hornet Gym Oct. 14.

Sac State basketball head coach Tom Abatemarco and his Hornet basketball team took to the court for some hoops and hoopla Thursday for the team’s annual Midnight Madness celebration.

The night brought free food, free shirts, a smoke and light show, and music to the crowd as the squad began its first practice at one minute after midnight the first day the NCAA officially allows teams to practice.

Some of the new recruits joining the Hornets are Bo Segeburg, from Serrano high school in Phelan, and Tony Champion out of Bishop O’ Dowd high school in Oakland. Sac State has also signed local junior college players Pablo Gonzales, from American River college, and Ricki Glenn, who played at Lassen College in Susanvile.
