Army ROTC cadre surprised Marshall University fans Wednesday night by rappelling from the rafters of the Cam Henderson Center to throw out the game ball for the Herd's game against Miami of Ohio.

The maneuver, performed by Lt. Col. Stephen Redmond and Master Sgt. Kavin Godwin, is one of three performed by ROTC cadre this season.

"We did it at the Georgia game, this time at the Miami game and then we're rappelling again at the Bowling Green game," Redmond said.

Cadets did not rappel due to risk factors.

"Cadets rappel from the practice tower located on the Marshall practice field," God-win said. "They begin on the short side to build confidence and then work of to the 40-foot descent on the high side," he said.
