Jam the Cam VII set for Sunday against Navy

 

The Herd women meet Navy on Sunday, Dec.16, at 1 p.m. at the Cam Henderson Center. This year will be a salute to our troops as all current and former military personnel will be given free admission to Sunday's game with their military id. Admission will be $1 for all others.

The Alumni Association, in support of the women’s basketball program, will  give away a 32-inch flat panel TV to a lucky member in the audience. Each person who attends the game will receive one ticket for a chance at the TV.

The drawing will be at halftime. You must be present to win.

A military theme will surround the game as the Marine Corps Color Guard will be present and a video presentation will be shown in honor of the troops. West Virginia legend Woody Williams, the oldest living recipient of the Medal of Honor, will also be present.

"We are very excited to host the Naval Academy," head coach Royce Chadwick said. "We are hoping for a great showing of our military personnel who will get in free with their id."

"We are also looking forward to the four color guards that will be in attendance. It will also be a tremendous honor for Woody Williams to be in our facility."

In the previous six years, the event has brought in over 24,000 fans. Marshall set the school and Mid-American Conference single-game attendance record in 2004 against Kentucky with 7,017 in attendance. The inaugural "Jam the Cam" in 2001 brought in 5,256 people, which set the school record at that time.

Prior to Sunday's game, the Herd will face Ohio University on Friday at 11 a.m. In its last action, Marshall evened its record at 4-4 with an 82-70 win at North Texas last Tuesday.
