All 17 members of the team’s roster will participate—as will three coaches—in a plow-pulling challenge to determine whether basketball players or Clydesdales are faster and more effective at readying the fields for planting. (While this is the first PLU Vs. The Plow event, it’s not the first time everyone was on board for one: Last year’s event was cancelled due to rainy weather and muddy fields.)
