"This will be an outstanding competition that is conducted and promoted very well.  There will be a lot of fans in attendance, so just like any other sport that really helps our athletes to have more fun and compete at a higher level.  Several of our athletes have been invited into the showcase sections, so we should have a great showing for Kennesaw State and the A-Sun."
