The Demon basketball team benefited from a friendly face in Corpus Christi today. Dr. Randy Bonnette, son of the beloved late Dr. Buddy Bonnette, is chair of the kinesiology education department at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Randy, who has been at TAMCC for eight years and has chaired the department for the last seven, helped arrange for the Demons to practice this morning in the TAMCC physical education/intramurals facility. The team is working out now and should get a good 90-minute session in before we board the bus and head to San Antonio, probably stopping for lunch along the way.
Randy's department is working with the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers in Major League Baseball to study various physiological traits shared by outstanding baseball players, including reaction time and high-caliber vision.
The TAMCC campus is literally on an island, just across the highway from the Gulf of Mexico.
We saw more of Dr. Buddy's extended family last night. More on that in a post later this weekend...
Doug Ireland, SID
