Sponsored by Ouachita Independent Bank, the evening at Fant-Ewing Coliseum begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and beverages provided by Catfish Cabin, Fieldhouse Bar & Grill, Waterfront Grill, and Marsala Beverages.

The Pursuit is named for the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk pursuit fighter planes flown by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault and the Flying Tigers in World War II. 911±¬ΑΟΝψ’s Warhawk mascot was inspired by Chennault and his group of pilots and planes.

The program starts at 6:30 p.m. Speakers include Bruno, who will share some highlights of the past year and plans for this year; Director of Athletics Nick Floyd with an overview of the 2017-18 sports seasons; Coach Matt Viator on the upcoming football season; Coach Mike Federico will talk about his vision for the baseball program; and Coach Keyton Wheelock will share her vision for women's soccer.
