Seen this weekend

Demon linebacker Yaser Elqutub among the ringleaders for a dodgeball tournament Sunday in Prather Coliseum. Yes, that's right, DODGEBALL. About 100 people on hand, lots of hollering, lots of laughs, and that was just watching a couple minutes worth as they played on the Lady Demon volleyball court ....

... Demon football greats Don Guidry and Lawrence Nugent watching Saturday morning's practice and telling stories, including Guidry talking about the Demons having a comfortable first-half lead at USL and some players taking the chance to chat up the majorettes in the USL band that was right behind the Demon bench at McNaspy Stadium ...

... Six radar guns up by scouts Saturday when Demon closer Chad Sheppard faced UTA star Michael Collins in the ninth inning. Sheppard got him on a 1-1 grounder, sharply hit to shortstop Trent Grondin, who made a nice play to his right and a strong throw. Collins is the nation's No. 5 outfield prospect for this June's major league baseball draft, and had two home runs Sunday. He looks the part.
