[Editor's Comment: I want to congratulate the Men's Basketball Team of Emmanuel College in their win over Southwestern Christian University to capture their third NCCAA DI Men's Basketball National Championship (2009 & 2016).
I want to congratulate the Men's Basketball Team of Southwestern Christian University for their successful season and the position they earned to play Emmanuel College for the NCCAA DI Men's Basketball National Championship.
Having served as the third president of Southwestern Christian University I have a vested interest in Southwestern. I am also an alumnus of Emmanuel College. Our children, Gregory Morgan and Stephanie Morgan (now deceased) are both graduates of Emmanuel College when it was a junior college. I love both schools, and I want them to be successful.
May God bless Emmanuel College and Southwestern Christian University.]
