Headlining the five 2009 inductees is former EIU All-American and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who is expected to return to campus for the ceremony. The Cowboys have a bye the weekend of the Oct. 17.
The four other inductees include basketball player Henry Domercant, former standout and current Eastern assistant baseball coach Sean Lyons, former NAIA wrestling champion Don Neece, and Ed Corley, a longtime friend of Eastern athletics.
The induction ceremony will take place as part of homecoming at a luncheon prior to the 1:30 p.m. kickoff. The inductees will also be honored during halftime of the football game.
New assistant coach hosts All Skills Volleyball Camp
After being hired in May, new volleyball assistant coach Kate Price is hosting the All Skills Volleyball Camp on campus this week. The camp is geared toward girls in grades five through twelve, but also welcomes recent high school graduates and entire teams.
Price was hired by incoming head coach Alan Segal, and given the opportunity to conduct the summer camp. As a player, Price was a member of the 2007 NCAA Champion Penn State team.
The camp runs Monday through Thursday, and is staffed by current Panther volleyball players. The campers are divided into groups by age and skill level, and develop skills in various areas of the game, including passing, setting, hitting, defense, serving, and blocking. In addition to drills, the participants also compete in organized games each day of the camp.
