Dayton Bombers News Release
The Dayton Bombers have announced that All-American placekicker Mike Nugent, a Centerville, Ohio native and member of the NCAA National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes Football team will appear at the Bombers' next home game this coming Sunday, March 16 vs. Cincinnati (6:00 p.m.).
As "Celebrity of the Game," Nugent will perform the ceremonial puck drop. Fans will get a chance to meet the local football hero and witness his skills showcased during a second intermission segment featuring celebrity "holders" Marc Katz of the Dayton Daily News and Ryan Brant of FOX-45/NBC-22 Sports.
Nugent, who scored 120 points and set seven school records in 2002 en route to an All-American season, will be back for his junior year and to help Ohio State defend its NCAA National Championship. A native of Centerville, Ohio, Nugent was a Second-Team Division I Associated Press All-Ohio selection while playing for Centerville High School. He also was a First-Team Western Ohio League and All-Southwest Ohio selection.
Nugent's appearance will highlight a day's worth of special activities. Before the game, the Dayton Jr. A Gems, who feature several local players, will be competing against the Toledo IceDiggers Jr. A Team in a game that will begin at 2:30 p.m. The Bombers, who are accepting deposits for 2003-2004 season tickets, will be giving away a Team Poster at the game in addition to having a full team autograph session after the contest. Unused tickets from the February 16, 2003 "Snow" Game versus Lexington can be used at this game or the Bombers' home game on Sunday, March 23 vs. Cincinnati (6:00 p.m.).
Following that home tilt, the Bombers will host Trenton on Tuesday, March 18 (6:15 p.m.) in a game originally scheduled for Friday, March 14, but moved due to a Nutter Center concert. Kids 12 and under can get in for free at that game. The Bombers will be honoring March 14 tickets as well.
Single game tickets for all Bombers' home games as well as corporate marketing packages are available through the Bombers' office by calling (937) 775-4747, by logging onto www.daytonbombers.com, or by visiting the Nutter Center Box Office.
