Fishburne Wins Match-Up Against VMI’s Club Team

FMS 97   VMI  47

Great team effort again. I was pleased with how we shared the ball and continued to play very unselfish. Although we had a big lead our guys continued to work on our execution and defensive effort, things that have been the staple of our program.

We did not have any single player standout alone but, what we did have was a collective effort and enthusiasm throughout the game. I also would like to say how impressed I was with the VMI campus. It is an awesome place and our players truly enjoyed the opportunity and experience. I got to spend some time with a few of the VMI student-athletes and let them know how special they were. Several of them shared with me that they will be commissioned in May and will likely be assigned in either Iraq or Afghanistan by the end of the year. Like many, I am very grateful for the service they are giving our great Nation. I would also ask that All of us keep them in our prayers and thoughts. And last, I would like to give a special thanks to Paul Maini, a 27 year veteran of VMI for giving Fishburne Cadets the opportunity to experience the VMI campus. He shared some stories, gave a brief history of the school and talked a little about his Vietnam experience. There were no losers today just all winners.
