The stadium is flooded with the background noise of fans. The low rumble of feet slamming against the bleachers, the tangible excitement behind every shot, and sharp squeaks echo on the court as players hustle from defense to offense and back again. In the chaos of the crowd Rodney Gilyard and his family are intensely watching the Richmond Spiders take on the Northern Iowa Panthers. The game is unrelenting and the score is a neck and neck battle between two titans. Richmond leads by one point at the half and the Spiders disappear into the locker rooms.
