I attended and graduated from Brevard in the 1965-67 era. I have many fond memories of a campus not near as big as todays website depicts. I was fortunate enough to attend by way of an athletic scholarship and played basketball for Brevard. In fact I was on the team that can boast of an undefeated season (66-67,and a state chanpionship. Its great to see such progress with this institution. Continued success, and I remain a proud alumni and Titan !
