FORT VALLEY, GA – The Fort Valley State University Athletics Department will host a special ceremony (Return of the Champions) for all former football players who played on any FVSU football championship team. Year-to-date, there are 11 FVSU football championship teams which include the following years: 1970, 1971, 1972, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1991, 1992, 1999 and 2016.
 
If you were a member of any of these teams, we are asking that you come back and participate in the homecoming game opening ceremony. The theme of this year's homecoming game opening ceremony is "The Return of the Champions". It's always a good day when you can come home to relive past triumphs. This year is particularly special because you and your team will be honored on field along with the current SIAC champions. Homecoming is October 28, 2017. This year's opponent will be Morehouse College.
 
Come home and be recognized as a champion. Please contact Willie Patterson, Sports Information Director to reserve your space in the parade of champions by calling him at 478-825-6437 (office) or 478-297-7826 (cell).
