“There is no crying in volleyball,” says interim coach Grant Barraclough of the women’s volleyball team. Coach Barraclough loves three things in this world God, family, and volleyball, and why wouldn’t he? By day he works at the hospital and by night is coaching volleyball, even with this great schedule he fits time in his day with his two sons who help him to become better from day to day.

I am sure that the acronym is throwing everybody off. Especially since it is what we associate with one of the powerhouse college athletic conferences, the Southeastern Athletic Conference. The real question is, why is a sports writer choosing to write about the SEC if he is at a junior college in Price, Utah? Well I am not writing about the SEC in the sense of the conference; rather this will be a regularly syndicated column called Sports Editor’s Choice, or SEC for short.

"The first day of school I knew we had a good team," said College of Eastern Utah's head basketball Coach Chris Craig. The third place in the nation CEU Golden Eagles were better than good this year ... they were scrappy, loose and had a great time beating nationally ranked teams.
"Right from the get-go I thought we had enough talent to be good, it was a question of chemistry and could we get everyone to work together," echoed first-year assistant coach Brad Barton.

For most of March the sports world has been focused on the NCAA men's basketball tournament, also know as March Madness. Some years it seems that the annual basketball tournament becomes predicable. With the big-name school making it far into the tournament and usually one team will win an upset game and be dubbed the "Cinderella" team. But this season the tourney has lived up to its name; so far it's been pure madness.

In 2005 I first came to the College of Eastern Utah. I can't remember what made me sign up to be in Susan Polster's newspaper production class. I'd never had anything I'd written published, I'd never even written for a newspaper. After two-and-a-half years of school (and two-years in a foreign country), I am writing my last article for The Eagle.
I can remember my freshman year of college, I was told by Stephen Clark that people cry twice when they come to CEU, once when they get to Price, and once when they leave. At that time, I could understand the crying when you came to Price, but the idea of crying when I would leave CEU seemed farfetched. But now, I'm feeling a little sad as I write what Polster calls my "last will and testament."
