When you think of college sports, do you think of multi-million dollar stadiums, elite athletes, national media coverage, and thousands of screaming fans? Well, think again. College athletics come in all shapes and sizes. Here at the D-III school Louisiana College, the venues may be a little smaller and the games a little sloppier, but Wildcat fans wouldn't trade their school spirit for the world. Students at LC get to experience athletics in a unique way. For many students, the experience is hands-on: several teams, including soccer, golf, tennis, and cross country, will take anybody who is willing to make a commitment to the team. This gives all students the opportunity to practice, travel, and play at a collegiate level. Sure, your team may never win a game, but the fun you will have definitely makes up for a losing season. Of course, the Wildcats have their strong sports as well. Women's basketball won the ASC Conference championship in 2009–2010. Softball is consistently ranked high in ASC polls and has placed 3rd in national competition. The football team has enjoyed winning seasons for several years, and the men's basketball program grows stronger every year. These sporting events are always well-attended by a spirited group of students. Don't know the fight song? Just make as much noise as you can. So paint up and gimme a C-A-T-S!
Intramural sports are also wildly popular on campus. Sports include flag football, basketball, ultimate Frisbee, softball, indoor volleyball, badminton, Ping-Pong, and bowling. Intramurals are played in either the H.O. West gymnasium or on the brand-spanking-new artificial turf football field, so you'll feel like a real athlete whether or not you have a coordinated bone in your body. As both intercollegiate and intramural athletics grow in size and popularity, Wildcat fans find more to cheer about each year.
