Congratulations to this week’s Coldwell Banker McMahan Champions of Character award recipients the Tiger Softball and Women’s Basketball Teams. The Tiger teams were instrumental in hosting the 5th Annual Boneyard Brawl last weekend, consisting of 16 volleyball matches in two days. Without the servant leadership of these team members, the tournament would not have been a success. Another great example of putting others before yourself, an important component of the NAIA Champions of Character Program.
