![Watching a small group scrimmage, Ben Lundt, St. Louis City SC goalkeeper and founder of Lundt Pro Soccer Training, shouts words of encouragement to players on Sunday, April 26 n the Lafayette grass soccer field. “The idea behind [the event] was to bring the professional soccer players closer to the community because usually people only get to see us on TV or in the stadium. [Families] actually having the opportunity to have their kids on the field with us is the most important aspect,” Ben Lundt said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/IMG_6823-1200x800.jpg)

Junior Bradley Jacobs had a normal, unfinished basement… until he decided to make a man cave out of it.
“About two months ago my friends and I decided that we needed more space to play video games, so over a period of two weekends we split off a section of my basement with bedsheets and put furniture in it and we had ourselves a man cave,” Jacobs said.
The man cave is furnished with three couches, a T.V., a mini-fridge, shelves, a radio and candles.
“One of the more unique things about the man cave is that we have a trampoline in it. The ceiling is also strung with Christmas lights, which I’d say is a nice touch,” Jacobs added.
Now, him and his friends have the ultimate hangout spot after weekdays and on the weekend.
“Any time someone comes over, there are always people in the man cave. After weekdays all my guy friends are over, but I have bigger groups on the weekend. I’d say there is at least a small group down there every day,” he said.
