Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy set up Senior Day to give the players suiting up for their final home game a rousing send-off. And everything hit just the right chord in the post-game ceremony.
Nagy’s thank you to his seniors and fans — and plea for more support the rest of the season — drew roars from the crowd.
The video tributes for Cole Gentry, Bill Wampler and Jordan Ash and the gratitude they expressed afterward were home runs.
And the heart-tugging speech from Ryan Custer, whose promising career was cut short by a swimming accident that left him paralyzed, had many in the audience dabbing tears from their eyes.
The only thing that could have dampened the festivities was if the team didn’t play up to its usual standards, and as jacked up as the players were, there was little chance of that happening.
The Raiders stormed to a 106-66 victory over lowly IUPUI on Sunday afternoon and were so far superior that they didn’t allow a point in the opening 6:30. By then, it was 16-0.
