Black is back at Davidson

They're blacking out Belk Arena again.

The third annual BlackOut Belk Arena is scheduled for Saturday, when Davidson plays the College of Charleston at 6 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN 2 and will feature broadcaster Dick Vitale.

The school hopes to flood Belk with black T-shirts to show unity on the part of the fans and to raise money for a local charity. In this case, that would be HAMMERS, an alliance between the Davidson Housing Coalition and Davidson College that started in 2003.

BlackOut Belk t-shirts can be purchased for $15 starting this evening with the game against Western Carolina, which begins at 7. They can also be bought at the Baker Sports Complex front desk from 1-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Cash, checks, Cat Card and credit cards will be accepted.--Stan Olson
