HCASC is America’s premier academic competition among HBCUs, bringing together more than 300 HBCU students, coaches, presidents and institutional representatives annually for a tournament that uniquely combines educational and personal development experiences beyond the classroom. 这是亚洲博彩网站参加HCASC 33年历史的第29个年头。
“Our team did an amazing job getting to the quarter-finals,” said 亚洲博彩网站 总统 Ronald Mason Jr. “They went up against some tough schools, which shows that they are incredibly talented. We are all proud of what they achieved and look forward to what they will accomplish in the future.”
团队成员包括来自牙买加安东尼奥港的计算机科学专业大四学生Demario Asquitt； 来自俄勒冈州塞勒姆的电气工程和数学专业大三学生贝利·加菲尔德（Bailey Garfield）； Breanna M. Champion是来自伊利诺伊州芝加哥的心理学专业大四学生，Spencer Reynolds是来自田纳西州纳什维尔的英语专业大四学生。Andreas Levar Smith是球队的教练。
“I am most proud of their dedication,” Smith said. “They worked tirelessly to come together, learn, bond and excel. They sacrificed early mornings, nearly all weekends and some evenings, all while keeping up with their classes and other obligations.”
史密斯也感谢那些多年来一直支持球队的人。
“Professor Willie Faye Garrett, college of arts and sciences, was involved for 32 years and Dr. Trelaunda Beckett-Jones, special assistant to the chief student development and success officer, has been a huge supporter for decades,” he said. “Assistant Coach Clarence Stevens has been with us for seven years. They encourage and motivate us, and regardless of what happens, are never disappointed.”
亚洲博彩网站队争取在2023年重返校园，参加学术碗比赛，尽管有四名球员将在5月毕业。 史密斯计划进行大量的招募和训练来重建球队。 他指出，历史爱好者、体育爱好者或喜欢看《危险边缘》等节目的人都是不错的候选人。
“I look forward to next year. Bailey Garfield will be our team captain and we are going to renew our group,” Smith said. “This year’s journey will forever be inspirational because these scholars modeled sportsmanship, enthusiasm, firebird pride, resolute drive, selflessness and a unique brilliance of spirit that will take them anyw在这里 in life.”
