This week, the men's basketball team was frontpage news as senior guard Marquez Haynes broke the UTA single season scoring record of 599 with 605 points as of Wednesday night. After only scoring one point in the first half, Haynes helped push the the Mavericks into the lead with 20 points in the second half. Homecoming week has also taken over UTA. The annual Homecoming Golf Cart Parade snaked its way through campus with 34 organizations participating in the event that included a pep rally and canon firing. I also covered the rehearsal of the percussion ensemble they prepared for their annual Spring Chamber Music Concert. The ensemble used a variety of traditional african drums and bells that really made for a lively shoot.
