Let the 2009 Camp Begin

Redshirt-freshman left tackle Decarius Kanyinda was one of the first veteran players to sign in on Friday afternoon.

Two-time All-American offensive lineman Terence Crosby has a crucial task on his mammoth shoulders in 2009, protecting QB Cameron Sexton's blind side.

On Friday afternoon, however, Crosby was all smiles when greeting new and familiar faces at Hayes Field House.

At 1:00 PM, returning lettermen scurried into the football office lobby, anxious to highlight their respective names and meet with head athletic trainer Bob Casmus. Height and weight measurements were recorded for every player, but those traits are not always predictors of future standout Catawba football players.

After equipment was issued to each player, Chip Hester called a seniors-only meeting at 3:00 PM. A collective team meeting took place a half-hour later.

Hester has issued a mandatory midnight curfew for all players, which took into effect after Friday night's introductory 9:00 PM practice session in helmets.

Be sure to check out the 2009 Indians from 7:00 to 9:15 PM on Saturday night. Catawba will be in helmets, team T-shirts, and shorts.
