· Men’s Basketball: The Indians finished runner-up in the Region VIII/FCSAA State championship after falling to Northwest Florida State in Saturday’s championship game (recap: http://bit.ly/2Fozwpz). Many projected that Chipola would receive an at-large bid to the National Tournament, however, that was not the case in today’s selection. The Indians finish their season 22-8 overall, winning five out of their last six. Three players were named to the All-Tournament team:
o Brandon Mahan
o Shamarkus Kennedy
o JJ Miles
· Chipola Women’s Basketball: Women’s basketball player Nana Sule (shown at right) was named the Sandy Miller Academic Award winner, which is given to the women’s basketball player with the highest GPA in the state. Nana has a 3.9 and a wonderful student-athlete on and off the court. Congratulations to Nana!
