Thank you, Redhawk fans

To the editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans who traveled to Nashville to support the women's basketball team of Southeast Missouri State University. This team and staff have worked so hard, and it was wonderful seeing the fans on their feet cheering the team on to their first ever Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship and invitation to the NCAA Tournament.

Another huge thank you goes to the band, cheerleaders, Sundancers and the mascot, Rowdy, for the outstanding job they did. They contributed immensely to the atmosphere of the games and pep rallies and getting all of us involved in cheering. In my personal opinion, none of the other OVC schools involved in the OVC Tournament could compare. These students also work hard, and I appreciated all they did for the program along with the wonderful way they represented Southeast Missouri State University and Cape Girardeau.

Lastly, a thank you goes to all who welcomed the basketball players back to the Show Me Center to congratulate them on their championship. Good luck to the Redhawk basketball team as it goes dancing.

SUE KAVERMAN, Cape Girardeau
