2016 Diamond Francies
Hornet Football Alumni 7v7 Tournament
Hornet Football Alumni 7v7 Tournament
Attention all Hornet Football alums! We are excited to announce our 3rd annual Hornet Football Alumni Tournament. Following the 2015 passing of our brother and well-loved officer Carlos "Diamond" Francies we have chosen to salute his legacy by permanently naming the tournament in his honor. Building upon the vision of Coach Sears and staff we aim to reunite all former players and reconnect them with their university. Last year was exciting and we had a highly successful turnout of multiple eras of Hornet football represented. We hope that you can all be a part of this great movement and join fellow Hornets alum for this great event. Anyone whom has ever worn a Hornet uniform is welcome to come out and compete in a great atmosphere. This will give you a chance to slightly relive those playing days while congregating with your Hornet family and seeing all the great things that are happening in Hornetland. We encourage all of you to come out and enjoy an exciting evening as we build on new traditions. Family, friends, and fans are welcome!
