Florida A&M University (FAMU) women’s flag football team, Simply Marvelous, has recently won two national championships – tallying six national championship wins within four years. Simply Marvelous most recent titled game, the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) National Campus Championship Series (NCCS) National Championship, is scheduled to air Saturday, January 29 at 10 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.

Simply Marvelous is scheduled to play in ESPN’s Weekend Women’s Flag Football Tournament in Orlando, Fla. Friday, March 4 through Sunday, March 6 at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex.

Dominating their competitors in the NIRSA NCCS National Championship, Simply Marvelous went 5-0 and defeated Texas State University 26-6 in the final game.

FAMU freshman Erika Collins was named the Most Valuable Player. Collins, along with teammates Kimbryana Lewis and Aisa Evans, was chosen to be a part of the All-Tournament Team.

These procedures are usually essential in evaluating the patients' progress as they continue with the therapy. Indeed, the best schools produce the best physical therapists in the country, so it is every aspiring therapist. A recovering therapist would be more capable of role modeling how to stay clean and sober.
