Congratulations to the Florida Atlantic University men's basketball team for their historic season!
I had the honor of presenting the team with a proclamation declaring April 15-22, 2023, as Florida Atlantic University's Men's Basketball Team Week!
The team not only achieved the best season in FAU's history but became one of the greatest teams in the history of college basketball, achieving a remarkable 35-4 record, winning a Conference USA Championship, and earning an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament from a field of 68 teams.
They charged on and won four straight games in the NCAA Division I basketball tournament and placed Palm Beach County on one of the greatest stages in American sports by winning its way into the Final Four of the playoffs.
Although the Owls didn't advance to the National Championship, the FAU community is proud of our team, and we look forward to next season.
In addition, we presented a certificate of congratulations to Coach Dusty May, 2023 Coach of the Year. May is the Owls' all-time leader in coaching wins with a record of 101-60.
He brings immense passion, determination, and a commendable work ethic to the program, and his efforts have created an enduring legacy for FAU men's basketball.
Another highlight this month was hosting the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) Board Meeting in my home chambers at the Robert Weisman Palm Beach County Governmental Center in West Palm Beach!
Thank you to all the county staff who made it a success, Palm Tran for the transportation and Marni with The Little Kitchen Cookie Co. for the beautiful (and tasty) flamingo cookies.
