SPORTS BY BRITTANY MURDOCK Staff Writer When the women's basketball team ends their practices, they huddle in a circle. Each player and coach is to say one thing about practice. "Good practice, bring it back tomorrow," said sophomore Logan Harden after a recent session. These comments refer to working harder, getting ready for the next opponent that dares to step foot on their home court and encouraging every practice to be greater than the last one. Now, after a season's practices, the Guilford's women basketball team is recognizing their head coach and a standout student athlete for remarkable achievements. On Thursday, Feb. 14, Gabby Oglesby scored her 1,000th career point during a recent game against Randolph-Macon College. "It felt great, and I was really happy I was able to achieve something like this because I wasn't able to in high school," said Oglesby. "I'm very grateful for my teammates because I couldn't have done it without them."

Paths and low walls stretch between Milner Hall and Founders Hall, a cool mist floating through the air between. This will soon be the Joseph M. Bryan Jr. Plaza, a small wooded area to be built largely around a 30 feet by 30 feet water feature with 40 natural stones scattered in a circular sitting area. The water feature is patterned after Harvard's Tanner Fountain and will recycle its water supply. "I'm always screaming for more places for students to hang out," said Dean of Students Aaron Fetrow. "It's kind of a cool gathering space." The plan is to have the project completed in time for move-in day this fall. "The plaza will be 100 percent gift- funded," said President and Professor of Political Science Kent Chabotar. "No money's coming out of tuition payments. It's a restricted gift. You take it or you don't." The gift is from the Joseph M. Bryan Jr. Foundation, the same donor that was responsible for the Joseph M. Bryan Jr. Auditorium in Frank Science Center.
