Florida High v. Leon

The Florida High School Seminoles defeated the Leon High Lions at Florida State’s home Friday night. Nole fans were fired up for homecoming as they took on the Lions. The band played sings to make the crowd get up and dance, while the cheerleaders kept the spirit alive. The Noles, who are 1-1 at home, scored the first touchdown of the game setting the tone for the night. Even though it was the Nole’s homecoming, the Lions weren’t giving up without a fight. Leon High matched the score within 3 minutes of the Nole’s touchdown. Florida High quarterback Ronnie Harrison scored two running touchdowns in the game.

Halftime was game time for many Florida State High School who anxiously anticipated the crowning of their homecoming king and queen. After they were crowned, the Noles continued to dominate. They continued to be consistent and they defeated the Lions 35-21. The Noles will travel to play Walton High in DeFuniak Springs next Friday at 7 p.m.

Kendra Moorer- Fall Career Expo

Famu’s fall 2013 Career Expo launched a new location in Al Lawson gymnasium Wednesday. Over 90 companies were displayed for students of all majors and concentrations. Although more business vendors were in attendance, students still came in large numbers.

The switch from the Civic Center to Al Lawson gym allowed the Career Center to reach more students, especially freshmen. “We wanted to make sure freshmen and graduating seniors were prepared to land a career and opportunities while still in college, we are pleased with the outcome this year,” said Delores Dean, director of the Career Center.

While the career expo catered to all majors, some students felt that there weren't enough vendors to choose from based on their major. “I was looking forward to a medical section and it wasn't much to choose from but I did enjoy the professional environment,” said Shani Rose, nursing student from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
