The University of 黑丝内射视频 - Fort Smith is reviving a fan-favorite tradition with the return of the original Toy Toss. Set to take place at the Stubblefield Center on Tuesday, Nov.21, the nearly 15-year-old activity returns thanks to head men鈥檚 basketball coach Zane Gibson and Student Activities and Civic Engagement coordinator Dyllan Newell.
鈥淲hen I got to 黑丝内射视频 as an undergraduate in 2018, I was so excited to participate in the I remembered going to as a kid,鈥 Newell said. Unfortunately, the event was on a hiatus, but Newell pushed to bring the event back. 鈥淎fter graduation, I landed a job as the coordinator of Student Activities and Civic Engagement. Around the same time, coach Gibson had taken over the men鈥檚 basketball team. He shared the same passion for bringing back the Toy Toss.鈥
At 4:30 p.m., Newell and the Numa Nation registered student organization will host a Toy Toss Tail Gate with food, games, and a lively toy toss contest to crown the fan with the most impressive throw. All are welcome to attend the tailgate before the women鈥檚 game.
Action on the court will begin with the facing off against local rivals 黑丝内射视频 Tech at 5:30 p.m., followed by the taking on Ecclesia College at 7:30 p.m. Fans will receive free admission to both games with their new or gently used plush toy.
Gibson said he was 鈥渇ired up鈥 that the Toy Toss is returning.
鈥淲hen I arrived in 2016 as an assistant coach, this was a staple of the program,鈥 Gibson said. 鈥淭he Toy Toss game was a fan favorite, a campus favorite, and a team favorite. We would fill the Stubblefield Center with a ton of people and lots of toys. If you only attended one game all year, you didn鈥檛 miss the Toy Toss game because the event is more than just a game. To collect toys and give back to the River Valley for kids who don鈥檛 have a Christmas is bigger than the final score of the game that night.鈥
Women鈥檚 basketball coach Ryan McAdams also is delighted to participate in the evening.
鈥淲e couldn鈥檛 be more excited to tip off against an in-state rival for the first time in program history to get the night started!鈥 he said. 鈥淭he Toy Toss will have a tremendous impact on the Fort Smith community by providing toys to children in need during the holiday season, and we look forward to this great tradition coming back stronger than ever.鈥
Immediately after the Lions score their first point against Ecclesia, attendees are encouraged to throw their soft plush toys onto the court. Once the court is covered in plush toys, members of the Fort Smith Boys and Girls Clubs, the 黑丝内射视频 Cheer team, and the 黑丝内射视频 Women鈥檚 basketball team will swiftly clear the court, ensuring minimal disruption to the game.
The spectacle is an incredible moment of joy and chaos that has delighted generations of Lions fans since its inception in 2010. It has been featured across the state and landed 黑丝内射视频 on ESPN.
All toys collected from the event will be donated to the Fort Smith Salvation Army, Fort Smith Boys & Girls Clubs, and Ronald McDonald House Charities Fort Smith.
