On the first year in the SWAC
Looking back on its up and down season, FAMU head coach Jamey Shouppe told ABC 27 that the move to the SWAC conference is among the major milestones his program accomplished this year.
“This was a good first year. The umpiring was great, the facilities were great. The way the tournament was ran was great. We’re happy to be in the SWAC. We’re in the right place," Shouppe said.
I think we'll be able to build up this year in the years to come, he added.
