It's no surprise to see fortitude from Coach Klausner in the midst of cancer treatments. He's fostered strength in his students and players for years. Let's send it all back his way! "Yes, I have cancer. I’m nauseous and exhausted, but this is what I’m born to do. I’m a teacher."

MBA understands the concerns about the Sam Davis statue, and we will remove the statue from the campus within the week. It was placed on the campus because of Sam Davis's pre-Civil War connection to one of MBA's predecessor schools and the attributes of loyalty and friendship...

Hearing the students' appreciation for Colonel Sharbel is a powerful way for us as faculty to honor his memory and to continue finding inspiration in his fine example.
(1/2) Colonel Sharbel was one of the best men, mentors, and coaches to ever step foot on MBA’s campus. He was a man of true integrity who touched everyone’s life that he had the chance to. He will be forever missed but never forgotten. The MBA community stands together in hopes..
