The team , founded by Pat Nugant and Richard Ray, will be in its second season of play. This season the team appears promising under the coaching of John Paris. The Whoopee will kick off the season with two exhibition games against Columbus, on Oct. 10 and 11. The regular season starts up in mid-October and runs through March, with the playoffs beginning in April. All citizens are encouraged to come out and support the team at games as well as practices.
Practices are always free and open to the public.
Last Friday, the Society for Creative Anachronism demonstrated their talent and their passion at an exhibition by the lakes. It was an entertaining showcase of medieval life. The SCA is an organization committed to the study of medieval and Renaissance culture and technology. Their occupation carries them all over the state to perform for various groups and organizations. SCA is not affiliated with, but is related to, the Renaissance Festival held every year in Atlanta.
