ORLANDO, Fla. - The 2009 UCF Knights Tour will make its second stop on Wednesday evening, with the event taking place at Dave & Buster's in Jacksonville from 6-8 p.m. Dave & Buster's is located at 7025 Salisbury Road. The UCF Knights Tour kicked off last week in Orlando in front of a strong contingent of Knights fans.
On the tour, alumni, students and fans are encouraged to attend, enjoy an evening of fun and excitement with several members of the UCF Athletics coaching staff from a variety of teams. Each stop will feature quality time to mix and mingle with coaches, dine on complimentary appetizers, partake in fun raffles, receive great giveaways, watch action-packed highlight videos and receive the latest 2009 UCF football schedule poster and schedule cards.
Headlining the list of attendees on Wednesday will be Jacksonville native Joi Williams, the 2009 Conference USA Coach of the Year who led the Knights to the C-USA tournament title and a subsequent berth in the NCAA Tournament. Wednesday's event will feature a Q&A session with Williams, who grew up in Jacksonville and starred as a prep standout at Bishop Kenny High School.
The second stop of 2009 will also feature Q&A sessions with head coaches George O'Leary (football) and Kirk Speraw (men's basketball) along with a speech by Todd Dagenais (volleyball). An hour-long autograph session with select coaches is also a part of the event at each stop.
Admission Wednesday night and to all stops of the 2009 UCF Knights Tour is free. To attend, please RSVP to Misty Knight at 407-823-2086 or via e-mail at goldenknightsclub@athletics.ucf.edu. Please include your name, phone number, number attending in your party and event location.
