Senior Night for McCauley, Fells and Harris

Well what can we say?  It’s been another rocky NC State Men’s basketball season and we have one home game left.  Unfortunantly that means the last home game for three players, Ben McCauley, Courtney Fells and Simon Harris.  It will be an emotional night for sure because of what these players have meant to NC State basketball.  It does not look like any of them will go on to further there careers in the NBA, but there is surely possiblities in leagues around the world.  Regardless of what happens to them, these players have meant a lot to the Wolfpack and they will remembered for years to come.  Here are quotes from the three players, these were taken from gopack.com.  Visit gopack.com for the complete story.

Simon Harris: “This is my 13^th senior day here at NC State, but this is the one that counts the most. I’ve wanted to play for the Pack since I was nine years old; it’s been my biggest dream ever. When I was a little kid, I imagined myself playing on the court like Archie [Miller], Anthony Grundy and guys like that. It’s really amazing that I’ve had this opportunity.”

 

Ben McCauley: “I’ll take it all in and enjoy it before the game because my senior night only happens once. When it’s game time it will be time to play. It helps that this is such a big game. Sure emotions will be high because it’s senior night, but once tip time comes it’s time to get ready and play. Besides basketball, I’ll always remember the friendships I’ve made. Some of these guys, I never would have met had I not come to NC State. I feel special and I feel blessed to know the people that I know and I’ll keep in touch with these people for the rest of my life. It’s all about being part of the NC State tradition and team.”

 

Courtney Fells: “I didn’t think this day would come so fast. It seems like we just started the season and now it’s time for the last game I’ll ever play in the RBC. I’m looking forward to the game, but I’m not looking forward to it being my last home game. One of my most memorable moments of my time here was in my sophomore year when we beat Carolina and I was able to lead us in scoring and help us win. You have to give the fans a lot of credit because they’re loyal and supportive. I remember looking up at the banners hoping that I might be up there one day. Time went by a little too fast, so I don’t think I’ll be up there with the great ones, but I’m going to miss everything about NC State.”

 

Special Thanks to gopack.com for the quotes.  As a final note, if you are an NC State fan, get out the the RBC Center tonight and cheer as loud as you can, we need to take down BC and get this Wolfpack team back on track.
