Merry Christmas from Coach Wood
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of our FUMA families and friends. Again, this year, we could not have accomplished what we did without your support. It was deeply appreciated.
Congratulations to Mike Jewell and Bob Hart for making the All-Prep Squad - First Team (Nice Christmas Gift!). Again congratulations to all the players for turning the Program around!
We have a few players currently recruited at the collegiate level. I will keep you posted. We have also been invited to play in Collegiate's Indoor Tournament. Hopefully we can participate this year.
Again, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
PS: The English Premier League will be showing some great matches on Boxing Day (December 26).
Merry Soccer Christmas!

Former PG in Division II National Championship
Bo May of Apex, NC recently played in the Division II National Championship game for Valdosta State University. Bo is a former PG player for Coach John Shuman at Fork Union Military Academy. He plays DT for the Blazers and is a senior this year.
Bo and the rest of the Valdosta State Blazer football team took home the NCAA Division II National Championship on December 15, in a dramatic 25-20 win over Northwest Missouri State. The Bearcats played unsuccessfully in the previous two championship games, and the Blazers showed no hesitation in sending NMS to its third consecutive title game loss.

Food Drive at FUMA sets New Record
FUMA cadets set new record this year for their food drive. The cadets really got into the spirit of giving this year and the food they collected for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank proves that spirit. Last year the Corps of Cadets collected and donated 4,610 pounds of food. This year they exceeded their goal! Their goal this year was 5,000 pounds and they collected 5,800 pounds. This is a great feat considering they are at a boarding school and don't have access to big grocery stores in the county. In addition to the food collected, they raised enough money to purchase 2,000 meals for the children that are in the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network. We hope that many families will benefit from the efforts of the Corps of Cadets' generosity and we wish each family a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
