It's not easy handling school and being on a sports team. Having to keep your grades up while juggling team responsibilities and having a personal life. Andrew Campbell, Fanshawe's 6'4” big man from Waterloo, is one of the six returning players on a roster of 16. Campbell said, “Its tough juggling schoolwork and basketball, but we seem to find a way.”

The Falcons had a rough start in their first exhibition game of the season against Laurier University. Campbell said the Falcon offence was good, they were open, and had some really good plays, but they had a little trouble putting the points on the board.

In comparing this year's team to last year's team that made it to the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championships Campbell said, “This year's team is a completely different team compared to last year's team. This year we have four new starters, and a majority of the team is made up of rookies, but we have confidence that we can get through it.”

Like every team, there's always one rival that gives the Falcons really good competition, and that rival would be Humber. Luckily, the Falcons won't have to see them until the new year. The Falcons' season opener is on October 19 at Mohawk College.
