Thoughts and Prayers for everyone involved 🙏. There are a number of folks on Facebook who are keeping the masses up-to-date. Being that everything is happening minute by minute, I won’t try to share the ever changing details.
If you are one that Prays 🙏, the four families and the Community involved certainly could use them.

It was also Alumni Day and there was a great turnout across 50+ years of ASU Field Hockey 🏑
Just a few of the Staff members working in the Press Box during a highly eventful event. Most of the group will be hard at work today when App State plays their 🏡 opening Football 🏈🏈🏈 game versus East Tennessee State at 3:30 pm.
