Cadets Get Championship Rings

Avid readers may recall that during the Remlers' Quadruple Whammy Weekend last April, the BC Cadets won the SCILL (South Carolina Independent Lacrosse League) championship. What a day that was. If you'd like to take a moment to reminisce, go ahead. I'll still be here...

 

Here's Coach McAllaster tossing the championship caps to the team. Look at the size of that trophy!

Well, last night (Wednesday, June 20th, the first day of summer), the boys got their championship rings.  And true to BC form, the team celebrated the distribution of rings with food, fun, fellowship, and a video presentation. Thanks to David Silverman and Spanky's Southside, nobody starved to death, as he and Stephen Remler grilled up a mess of hamburgers and hotdogs.

That was a big grill. Hot, too. I think Stephen singed the hair off his arms.

Of course, the boys had no problem devouring their dinner in about five seconds. Several parents had to wait around for the next batch-o-burgers.

Following the recognition of all state team members and a great video presentation, designed by Rob White, Coach Dick McAllaster presented a championship ring to each boy on the team, taking the time to recognize each boy's talents or sharing special memories about him. 

Here he is talking about Davis.

And as the above photo suggests, while Dick was singing each boy's praises, said boy was busy staring at the coveted ring. Who can blame him? Look at it: 

And this ring doesn't really give you perspective. On a boy's hand, it looks like a breakfast room table sitting atop his knuckle. I can only imagine how the BC sophomore, junior, and senior team members will show off those rings when they return to school in August. I think there might be a wee bit o'braggin'. Already a graduate, though, Davis will have only a few weeks to wear that fancy, bejeweled ornament before leaving it in his silver keepsake box. I don't think they'll allow him to wear it at the SUNY Maritime College--unless he lets them use it as an anchor!
