Interesting.

I was just walking across campus, they were hosting a reception for the HC Court at the Alumni Center.

In addition to a Saloom as queen, Margo Huval's mother is also Lebanese. I spoke to them briefly as they walked up.

I can remember her parents bringing her to games when she was 6 years old, in a cheerleader outfit. She's not 6 years old any longer...

  Back in high school, Jason Chery got roped into playing on special teams because he was one of the better football players at Spanish River in Delray Beach, Fla.

Chery found out the quickest way he would get on the field as a freshman at UL was on special teams.

Now, the senior finds it hard to imagine not contributing on special teams for the Ragin' Cajuns (4-3 overall, 3-0 Sun Belt).

"When I was in high school, I was one of the best guys on the team, so I had to jump in," Chery said. "Now I like it so much. I'd rather give the hit then get the hit. It's a way I can relieve stress.
