A special thanks goes out to everyone who made it
possible for FSU students to attend the CIAA
tournament. The telecommunications “crew” from
FSU was given mad props and respect by everyone
at the tournament and were given the responsibility
of running the press room. Congratulations! This
would not have been possible without help from
Mrs. Hightower, Mr. Ross, Mr. Eric Moore and Mr.
Micah Johnson. Thank you! Mad love to the Media
crew: Renee McCoy, Janae Baez, Jeremy
Hollingsworth, and Deitric Davis
