High School Senior and Community College Sophomore Day

On November 12, 2005, Alcorn State held the annual fall High School Senior and Community College Sophomore Day.

On that day high school students, transfer students, chaperones and parents had an opportunity to visit the campus. They received information regarding financial aid, scholarship opportunities, housing and extracurricular programs. Administrators, faculty, staff and students answered questions and helped make it a successful event

Following the information session and visits with department representatives the visitors had lunch followed by the feature attractions of the day, the Football Braves hosting the Alabama A&M Bulldogs.

“by Alcorn Sports Information Director

ALCORN STATE, Miss. – Alcorn State and Alabama A&M entered Saturday’s SWAC showdown with a simple mandate: Win and stay in the conference title race. Alabama A&M walked out of Jack Spinks stadium with a 28-21 victory and the SWAC Eastern Division championship after Mississippi Valley defeated Alabama State later in the day. Nic Luke and Kelcy Luke scored two touchdowns apiece, and the Bulldogs (8-2 overall, 6-2 in SWAC) survived a late Alcorn State rally. The loss snapped Alcorn’s four-game winning streak, and it also prevented Alcorn (5-4, 4-3) from securing a winning season.”
