Twenty-four former players and coaches returned to Connors State College on Saturday, Feb. 4 to and were recognized at halftime of the Cowboys and Arkansas Baptist game at Melvin Self Field House by CSC President Dr. Tim Faltyn.
The group recalled their playing days for the Cowboys and renewed friendship at a reception before the game, where Athletic Director and Head Coach Bill Muse addressed the alumni and welcomed them back to Warner.
I believe everyone enjoyed the day, recalling their playing days and meeting with this years team, said Muse. They all were talking about the changes at Connors. We hope to make this an annual event for our former players and coaches, said Muse.
