An Exciting Beginning for Fishburne’s PGs
Fishburne’s Board of Directors got a special treat this afternoon during the first day of their weekend visit. FMS faculty, staff, students and members of the press were also present for an introduction to the players and coaches that that make-up our Post-Graduate Basketball Team. The Fishburne gymnasium was electric as we watched the team had scrimmage for the first time. For several weeks now folks here in Augusta County as well as those in our Fishburne Family have clammered for more information about the team. Today was a great occasion for the School… history in the making.
