Dan Onorato - Life As A Student Athlete


How’s it going Kohawk basketball blog followers? This past week was definitely a great week here at Coe College. Unlike most colleges, homecoming at Coe is a big deal for the current student body. Throughout the week there were several activities that took place such as powder puff football, a bonfire, and follies. During follies, skits are performed and its a time when the student body brings out all the dirt that they have on the homecoming court. The week is culminated on Saturday with the football game and the dance. This year we played Dubuque in football and won! The dance was really fun; it is located at a nice hotel located near Coe in the downtown area. There are shuttle buses to and from Coe to provide transportation to students and it is so close that some students elect to walk. The dance includes a Dj who plays current music and pretty much all of the Coe student body is there which is a good time. The dance is also open to alumni and it is always especially nice to see returning basketball players. Certain students choose to go out to dinner before the dance in a big group. What is really nice about the dance is that most people choose to go stag and not with a date which makes it a lot more fun for everyone. There really isn’t a dress code at the dance but most of us went with the classy shirt, tie, and black pants look. Overall homecoming week at Coe is always one of the best! It’s sad that it’s over but on another positive note we now have fall break upcoming next week, and oh yea practice starts in less than a week…can’t wait!
