Athletic Director Sean Jackson congratulated the athletes “for taking on and meeting the challenge of being a student athlete. Not only did you excel in athletics and academics, a school has decided to invest in you. People don’t realize that it is more difficult to be awarded an athletic scholarship than a academic scholarship.”
Congratulations and good luck to these fine Ranger scholar athletes and to all our senior athletes who will continue competing at the college level next year! As Athletic Director Jackson said at the ceremony, “You will forever be a Ranger.”
