Beacons are back in the lab
First week of official practice is in the books for Valpo basketball programs
There’s something special about the first week of practice for Division I basketball programs.
Even if the first week of practice isn’t all that special anymore.
The 2024-25 season officially got underway earlier this week when the Valparaiso basketball programs held their first practices of the year.
“First practices of the year” is a bit of a misnomer as the men’s and women’s basketball programs have been competing in the gym since the players arrived on campus in the early summer.
That doesn’t mean Roger Powell Jr. and Mary Evans didn’t try and commemorate the week in a special way.
