“This was an excellent opportunity to meet not only our new coaches, but to hear from all of the coaches,” Dr. Richard Blalock said. “We all see the results in the sports page, but this helped us know the coaches better and get a feel for how things are going.”
The Racers have three new faces on board, Soccer coach Beth Acreman, Men's Basketball coach Billy Kennedy and Football coach Matt Griffin.
As the evening progressed, the stories of MSU student-athletes successes in the classroom and on the field of play were numerous.
“We had this event to say thank you to our most loyal supporters,” Allen Ward, MSU Athletics Director said. “I think everyone left knowing they were part of a special event.”
The evening ended with a question and answer session with Ward and the head coaches. Among the topics discussed were the future of athletics facilities and possible improvements, and several questions were directed to new MSU Football Coach Matt Griffin and Men's Basketball Coach Billy Kennedy.
