Davidson College will kick off the 2009-10 men’s and women’s basketball seasons with a fan rally called “A Night With the Cats” on Friday, Oct. 16, at Belk Arena. Admission is free, and doors open at 7:30 p.m.

The annual event introduces the men’s and women’s basketball teams to Davidson fans through skits, dancing, scrimmages and 3-point contests. Fans can join coaches Bob McKillop and Annette Watts in ushering in the new season with a night of basketball and fun.

Each class will entertain the crowd with a dance that matches this year’s
theme, “Davidson’s Best Dance Crew.” New this year, fans will have a chance
to participate in the dancing and basketball, including a Bob McKillop Look-Alike Contest.

Following the skits, each team will have a 3-point contest and a short scrimmage. The night culminates with both teams participating in an autograph session on the court.

The Wildcat women have a home exhibition game against Wingate Nov. 8, and open the regular season at Nebraska Nov. 13. The men’s team hosts
Lenoir-Rhyne in an exhibition Nov. 7, and opens its season at Butler Nov.
14.
