There was no more appropriate place to celebrate the individual academic accomplishments of the Chipola Men’s Basketball Team than the Milton H. Johnson Health Center. It was there on Thursday night that nine members of the 2008 squad joined 360 fellow classmates as candidates for graduation.
Sophomores Malik Allen, Joey Cameron, Mario Edwards, Clevin Hannah, Eddie King, Mario Little, Vernon Teel, Skyler Williams, and Decoya White found success both on and off the court during their time at Chipola.
"Chipola has laid the educational foundation for these guys and I am extremely proud of each of them," remarked Chipola head coach Greg Heiar. "Each one represents the ideal meaning of the word student-athlete."
In the previous four years for the men’s team, 24 of 26 student-athletes have graduated from Chipola. "Our track record of graduating athletes is a testament to the support from the administration, teachers, academic coaches, and the Academic Center for Excellence on campus," said Heiar.
At an earlier event, Mario Edwards and Clevin Hannah were both named to the 2008 edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior College for outstanding campus leadership.
