MONTGOMERY, Alabama | Alabama State University’s intercollegiate athletics department will celebrate its student-athletes at “StingChella,” an awards ceremony and concert featuring recording artist Rick Ross. The event will take place on Monday, April 26 at 7 p.m. inside ASU Stadium.
The evening will begin with an awards ceremony to recognize student-athletes who have excelled in the classroom with awards for the highest GPA among small teams as well as big teams (men’s and women’s). The department will also present Unsung Hero and Lifetime Achievement awards at the event.
