According to head of Campus Security, there was an estimated $3000 in damage done to a security vehicle which included a dented hood, cracked window, and damaged fender.

At 10:30PM last Monday night, a little under 200 Covenant students gathered to witness the second annual Ghetto Fight Night. Over 20 vehicles circled up at Shadowlands with their headlights focused on the center of the dusty, make-shift ring. Geared up with boxing gloves and headgear, a match-up between two RAs kicked off the event, closely followed by two more matches. Each fighter looked like he was having loads of fun.

Sophomore Matthew Higgins noted that the fights were all done “for the love of the sport, no grudge matches; it was always friend fighting friend or stranger fighting stranger. Also, a lot more people showed up than expected; the atmosphere was electric.”

Certainly more people showed up than last year. The first Ghetto fight night began when freshmen John Eger and Eric Cromartie planned to box one another. Word got around and students lined up at Ghettos door wanting to witness the show down.

This year Ghetto wanted to expand the event by allowing more people to come and watch. They wanted it to be a fun thing, “something that was a spectator event rather than just a participation event,” Higgins said, so they moved it off the hall to Shadowlands where there would be more room to fight and more room for students to cheer.
