Ten University of North Texas students were rescued from a North Texas lake after being flipped from canoes and paddle boards, Texas Game Wardens said Saturday.
The incident happened at about 12:35 p.m. Saturday at Lake Ray Roberts. The UNT students, who had taken out two canoes and five paddle boards, were reportedly blown off course toward the middle of the lake as the wind conditions worsened, Texas Game Wardens said.
All 10 students were "clinging to paddle boards and panicked," before calling 911, Texas Game Wardens said in a social media post.
Emergency crews, including Texas Game Wardens, Texas State Park Police, and Cooke County EMS, took out a boat and rescued the students, who were in the water for about 40 minutes. The students were all wearing life jackets and were brought safely to the shore, officials said. However, one student was transported to the hospital for hypothermia.
"We are thankful for this outcome, but it could have ended very differently," Texas Game Wardens said in the social media post. "Always check the weather, wear a life jacket, and understand your limits on the water."

Anyone know where USF is getting their money from? I figured them being in a higher conference for longer may be a reason. But they along with Memphis and Tulane seem to be the money bags in the American.
My Google skills told me that there are over 1700 kids in the portal right now...so I'm sure we can still find 5-6 that can help us! The blue chippers are out of our league...but there is undoubtedly a bunch of kids in that 1700 who have been overlooked, are late bloomers, or just didn't fit in their current system...but may fit perfectly in ours. D-Rob won 20 games in 3 consecutive years at little ol Cleveland State. I'm sure he can handle this or Jared wouldn't have given him the job. Its our job to show up and yell for the kids on the court next November.
