JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
The 2009 UCF Knights Tour made the second out of six stops on Wednesday evening, rolling up to Dave & Buster's in Jacksonville where a crowd got to meet and listen to UCF head coaches George O'Leary, Kirk Speraw and Joi Williams. 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.
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 was a popular figure in her hometown of Jacksonville where she starred as a prep standout at Bishop Kenny High School. The event also brought back former UCF wide receivers Mike Walker and Andre Sumpter and included a visit by new UCF defensive backs coach Sean Beckton.
The 2009 UCF Knights Tour has four stops remaining with the next one being May 15 in Atlanta at the ESPNZone in Buckhead. A golf outing is also set for Saturday.
Admission 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.
Representatives from UCF's Golden Knights Club (GKC), alumni association and athletics ticket sales staff will be on site to answer questions on how fans can become a part of the team behind the team.
