Brightline Welcomed by Some, Questioned by Others By: Jack Rubin

Traffic has become as common in South Florida as sunny days and beautiful weather.

Floridians are always looking for a way around the infuriating gridlock that they are often confronted with, and they may finally have an answer.

Brightline, a privately owned train service operating on the Florida East Coast railway corridor, launched operations in January. At the moment, the 80 mph trains are only running from Fort Lauderdale directly to West Palm Beach. Services to Miami should be operable soon, according to the company. Eventually, the trains will be able to transport passengers from Miami to Orlando in about three hours.

Community Famed KISS Musician Paul Stanley to Showcase Original Artwork at Boca Town Center By: Bryanna Basilio

Wentworth Gallery is honored to present a collection of works from legendary musician and fine artist Paul Stanley. The collection of originals, mixed media originals, and limited edition print artworks and acrylic guitar sculpture is currently being showcased in Wentworth Gallery locations throughout the United States. Stanley is set to appear at Boca Town Center’s Wentworth Gallery on Saturday Feb. 10 showcasing his art.

Stanley designed and created the iconic KISS logo which remains universally recognized as one of the greatest logos of the 20th century. His artistic and visual input has been and continues to be seen in his designs of KISS album covers, performance stages and apparel.

Stanley returned to his passion for painting ten years ago by creating portraits and abstracts that are emotion-

ally charged compositions. His tremendous success with his artwork has led to an entirely new fan and media presence for the accomplished musician, actor and artist. He maximizes the direct and powerful impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color and simplicity of imagery and has been commissioned to create large works to be displayed internationally.

For more than thirty years, Paul Stanley has reigned supreme as one of the single-most recognizable front men in the history of rock and roll. Although preferring to live his off stage life out of the media spotlight, he continues to be

the chief songwriter, driving force and the unwavering voice of KISS. A visionary and trendsetter since the early 1970s, Stanley’s passion for both the musical and visual arts has perhaps been the key to the astonishing ongoing worldwide phenomenon known as KISS. Stanley single-handedly penned such escapist anthems as “Love Gun”, “God Of Thunder” and “Black Diamond” and wrote the golden throat that throttled “Detroit Rock City,” the charismatic swagger behind “I Was Made For Lovin’ You,” and stripped of makeup, was the unmasked troubadour that breathed vocal life into the ballads

www.bocaratontribune.com

“Reason to Live,” “Forever” and “Every Time I Look At You.”

In addition to the concert stage, Stanley has also played to theatrical audiences in the title role of The Phantom, in “The Phantom of the Opera.” Paul was chosen to be the final Phantom in the 10 year run of the Toronto production.

As an accomplished solo performer, Stanley released “Live to Win”, his first solo album in more than 25 years.

In it, Stanley strips his emotions to the bone and adorns them with a melodic sheen with songs about the power of the human spirit and commitment to not compromising ideals. In 2008, Stanley released the heavily awaited concert DVD, “One Live Kiss,” that quickly went to the top of the music video charts.

Stanley’s works have been praised by well-known and distinguished art concerns and acquired by fans, celebrities and art collectors.

Traffic has become as common in South Florida as sunny days and beautiful weather. Floridians are always looking for a way around the infuriating gridlock that they are often confronted with, and they may finally have an answer.

Brightline, a privately owned train service operating on the Florida East Coast railway corridor, launched operations in January. At the moment, the 80 mph trains are only running from Fort Lauderdale directly to West Palm Beach. Services to Miami should be operable soon, according to the company. Eventually, the trains will be able to transport passengers from Miami to Orlando in about three hours.

The primary goal of the railway is to ease traffic on Florida’s roads and highways. Commuters are the target demographic of the intercity service, with amenities such as Wi-Fi, outlets, and coffee offered. Currently, trains are running hourly from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., taking passengers from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach in 40 minutes. Customers have the affordable option of a $10 basic ticket or a $15 upgrade.

Though most people have welcomed the arrival of a way to travel painlessly from city to city, others have been skeptical of Brightline since the idea launched. Safety concerns were an issue to many. Despite the countless railroad crossing closings Boca residents experienced to make areas fit for the faster trains, safety issues with Brightline blew up in the last month.

Two people were tragically struck by trains in January, leading to some public outcry against the company. Congressman Brian Mast, the representative for Florida’s 18th District, tweeted last week on the matter. Mast was traveling on an Amtrak train that

collided with a truck in Virginia and he used the experience as somewhat of a warning in his statement.

“My experience today has only strengthened my resolve to prevent Brightline from creating this dangerous situation in our community,” he wrote.

The 18th District envelops a large area north of West Palm Beach, where the second phase of Brightline would begin. The planned construction would take passengers from West Palm Beach to Orlando.

Brightline has added that they are dedicating more resources to preventing accidents and improving safety.

More signage will be present around intersections. The vast majority of those active on social media regarding Brightline vouch for the trains, noting how people must be smarter around the trains.

“These trains move faster than they appear, it is just simply you should not try to beat a train,” Palm Beach transportation planning committee member Keith James said. “If the gates are down and the lights are flashing red this means stop, just like a red light.”

A Brightline train struck a fourth person in Wilton Manors on Thursday. Despite increased safety measures, issues have persisted. Brightline released an official statement on the matter.

“Based on witness reports, this was an intentional act by an individual who laid on the tracks before the train approached. We appreciate the work of our team and first responders who acted quickly to remove him safely.”

South Florida’s newest transportation resource is a very nice one.

Although there is no stop in Boca, all South Floridians can find use in these trains. With sixteen planned round trips per day, travel all around the region is made significantly easier.

District’s Graduation Rate Once Again Exceeds State, Large School Districts

The School District of Palm Beach County’s graduation rate for the 2016-2017 school year reached a historic high mark, ranking first among Florida’s large, urban school districts and exceeding the state’s graduation rate for the Class of 2017, according to figures released Wednesday by the Florida Department of Education.

The graduation rate for Districtoperated schools increased to 90 percent for the 2016-2017 school year. The graduation rate for all schools, including charter schools, was 85 percent for 2016-2017 — highest among other large, urban districts in Florida, including Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange and Pinellas counties, and higher than the state’s average of 82.3 percent.

For the second consecutive year, graduation rates increased for Black and Hispanic students in Palm Beach County, as the District continues its focus on closing the achievement gap. The graduation rate for Black students increased by 10 percentage points over two years, while the graduation rate for Hispanic students increased by 6.6 percentage points over two years.

“Our intense focus on closing the achievement gap is working and more of our minority students are walking across the graduation stage on time and with honors. These historically high graduation rates confirm that the work of the District’s strategic plan is paying off,” said Superintendent Robert Avossa.

“We set a goal of achieving a 90 percent

graduation rate by 2021 — and we hit it, three years early. This doesn’t happen without the immense commitment of our teachers, school leaders and students.”

Approximately 75 percent, or 19, of District-operated high schools earned a graduation rate of 90 percent or higher — including two schools, Suncoast High School and Village Academy, where 100 percent of seniors graduated. All four boca Raton schools made the list, with Olympic Heights HS the highest amoung the four at 95.8 percent.

Among District-operated high schools, Riviera Beach Preparatory Academy had the largest increase with 14.7 percentage points, followed by Pahokee High and Glades Central High with 9.8 percentage points and 9.1 percentage points, respectively. In addition, Lake Worth High, Palm Beach Gardens High and John I. Leonard High each increased more than 5 percentage points.

Graduation rate figures are based on students who finish high school “on time,” within four years of entering ninth grade. Students arriving to Palm Beach County schools who have already been retained in ninth through 11th grade will impact the school’s graduation rate if they do not graduate “on time,” regardless of when they enroll in the school.

For more information about the District’s graduation rates, including a school-by-school listing of graduation rates, read the executive summary provided to School Board members.

Avossa’s Tenure Brief but Highly Productive, Impactful for Student Learning

I was in a meeting recently when I learned, via a text, that Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa had resigned.

The news caught me, as I am sure many, by surprise. My first thought was, “I hope and pray it was not for medical reasons.” After all, when the man came here two and a half years ago, he was taking one blood pressure pill. Now, he is up to taking two.

This is not easy work, even under the best of circumstances. I know the stress that comes with that job and after seeing him work and his accomplishments, I cannot be mad with him for doing what is in his best interest.

While I am saddened by the news, I fully understand his decision. At 46 and with two children in middle and high school, only he knows best when to hold, when to say, “This is my dream job” and when to say “The time has come to say so long.”

With him earning $325,000 a year and his first pay raise looming, we know the decision was not made based on money. He was in the top three highest paid superintendents in the state and let us not forget that Palm Beach County

is the nation’s 11th largest school district.

I trust his new gig as the senior vice president of a Palm Beach Gardens-based publishing firm, will allow him to spend more time with his family during these critical years of their children’s lives and his career.

Since Avossa made the abrupt announcement, I have spoken to several employees in the district, including administrators, classroom teachers and bus drivers and a few parents. All were stunned but surprisingly, none wanted to see him go.

I say surprising because it was not all a cake walk for Avossa. When he got here, his leadership team had to justify their keeps. Some reapplied for their jobs, others left the district. He also created additional leadership positions and tasked them with working closer with principals. He is known for holding his top staffers accountable. Some were not too keen of his style then.

I have monitored the tenure and am familiar with the work of 11 superintendents since 1987, including two interims and one acting, and only a few have made the transformational changes as Avossa.

During his tenure, Avossa has

focused on student-centered learning and pushed for a more holistic approach to working with students by focusing on their social and emotional well-being.

He was the relief that this district needed at a time when the organization was reeling from a lack of strong and sustained leadership. When he was hired, he promised to “pull back the veneer” and have hard and uncomfortable conversations about race and equality.

Today, he points to closing the achievement gap in math, reading, and college level course work for minority students as one of his top accomplishments. Under his leadership, more black and Hispanic students are graduating from our schools than ever before. In fact, the district now leads the state in the graduation rate of black students with a significant 10 percentage increase over the last two graduation years. The Hispanic graduation rate saw more than a 6 percentage point increase during the same time period.

Another win is this is the first time, at least in recent years, that we have had no district-operated schools with an F grade. Roughly 35 percent of our schools received A grades last year based

on student achievement, a 30 percent increase over the previous year.

Under his watch, teachers are getting raises again, the lowest paid employees - who were earning $8 an hour got an increase to $10.75 and bus drivers now earn $14 per hour, making them the highest paid in South Florida.

I recall his first order of business after he got the job was to meet with the union.

Avossa skillfully made difficult staff changes and brought along some strong talents to complement his leadership team. I think the wisdom we need is already in the district. Given the path Avossa has already set, I hope our next superintendent will remain committed to advance excellence, create champions and build strong community support for lasting change in our schools.

I also hope that the next leader will continue to do what is best for the teachers, non-classroom employees and, especially, its students.

Dr. Robert Avossa has been a champion for the children of Palm Beach County. I thank him, and I am sure I speak for many, in saying thanks for your service and I wish you well Sir.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Eliminate the Unnecessary!

Most people, while in motion, repeatedly are confronted with forks on the road, and need to know with certainty how, and whereto, they must proceed. Normally that experience comes long before one reaches the end of the line, namely, the destination toward which they’re moving!

Similarly, a person needs to live unencumbered from whatever could be an impediment in completing a task, in reaching a destination, in being faithfully prompt for the delivery of what relates to a promise made to one or

more who depend on its fulfillment!

These considerations are indispensable for the proper, effective execution, and legitimate delivery of any finalized task, whether great or small; they should occupy a significant place in the planning stages and the production schedule of any assignment!

Nevertheless, as management consultant and author, Brian Tracy, advises, “Just as you need a to-do list to guide you through a busy day, you need a not-to-do list to keep you on track.”

In other words, learn what

tools to utilize in each procedure, but also be wise in the elimination of whatever may constitute excess, or unnecessary baggage. The urgency we often encounter in the need to conclude significant activities, cannot be obstructed by any extra weight which is not part of our necessary equipment for quality production!

Take a single-minded view of your primary duties, assigning other accomplishments to a secondary, even tertiary levels. Concentrate on what’s major so as to devote your undivided

attention to the work, and complete with distinction what’s at the top of your priority list!

To quote author Brian Tracy again, “Remember, there are always a hundred little things that you can do that will make very little difference to your success or to your contributions.”

Thus, eliminate the unnecessary and concentrate on prompt delivery of what’s expected of you, without creating waste on account of undue haste!

Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

School District, City and Chamber Officials Work Together for Comprehensive Solutions to Increase School Capacity in Boca Raton

School District of Palm Beach County, City of Boca Raton and Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce officials met recently to discuss the good news and challenges about growth in the greater Boca Raton Community. The good news is more families are choosing the City as their home – a good problem to have in almost all cases, with the exception of student growth in the City’s high performing, A-rated schools.

Many Boca Raton schools are approaching or have already exceeded 100 percent capacity, accelerating the need for District and City officials to reassess the urgency of need for more space and more schools.

Taking into consideration the best use of available resources, the best interests of students and families, and sensitivity to community concerns of traffic flow and preserved lands, School Board Member Frank Barbieri, Boca Raton Mayor Susan Haynie, Boca Chamber President Troy McLellan, and Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa, Ed.D., identified potential solutions to the city’s growing need for more capacity in the City’s schools during a joint meeting.

Potential Solutions Include:

Accelerate the construction of elementary school 05-C on donated land from the City. This school was originally planned to begin construction in 2022.

Pending School Board approval, the new school would be constructed at the same time as the new Verde K-8, with a planned opening in 2020 as an elementary

school that will grow to a K-8 as students transition to sixth grade. The City passed a resolution brought forward by Councilman and CRA Chair Scott Singer on January 23, to commit to donating land for this purpose.

Once open, Elementary School 05-C will be the temporary home for Addison Mizner students while Addison Mizner is rebuilt.

The District will also continue to explore the use of the Sugar Sand Park area as a potential location for the new Addison Mizner School that would allow its expansion to a K-8. This new plan provides the District more time to explore the potential for this location and to mitigate any concerns of the community about the site, including concerns about traffic from West Camino Real and congestion on Military Trail.

Other steps to increase capacity in the City’s schools include:

A modular classroom addition at Spanish River High School Modular classroom additions to Calusa Elementary School, Eagles Landing and Omni Middle Schools

This plan will provide critical relief to the City’s growing schools and minimize the transition many students will make during their K-12 experience to just one, from middle school to high school.

The movement to K-8 schools is gaining popularity nationwide, as a growing body of research suggests student performance is significantly impacted as a result of a transition from an elementary school to middle school.

The streets of Mizner Park were filled with a tremendous selection of art from across the country. One of a kind art was available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds dedicated to the support of the museum’s educational programming.

• The 56th Annual Hospital Ball at the Boca Raton Resort attracted over 1300 attendees and raised over $1.6 million. Congratulations to Mark Larkin and all of the staff and volunteers of the Boca Raton Hospital Foundation who made the evening a great event with 15 BRRH physicians honored for their contribution to the hospital’s success in meeting the needs of our community while becoming a destination for patients from throughout the country seeking exceptional service. The Temptations presented the special entertainment of the evening.

• The screening of “Dear Ambassador” at FAU this weekend marked the inauguration of a year-long Brazilian film series.

The monthly Brazilian cinema series will include films of recognized cultural, artistic and social value, and representative of the five regions of Brazil. Support for the series is provided by the Brazil International Foundation, the Brazilian Film Commission Network, the Audiovisual Promotion Division of the Cultural Department of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry and the Consulate General of Brazil in Miami. LATC serves as curator of the film series project and direct liaison with film production companies in Brazil. The series is hosted by FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and the Graduate Certificate of Film and Culture and is part of the longterm strategic relationship announced in 2017 by FAU and LATC to jointly develop a wide range of academic, policy, resource, outreach and training activities in the area of Latin American film, television and new media. For more information about the Brazilian Film Series, visit fau.edu/artsandl…/ college-initiatives/brazilian-film-series/.

Just Who is Jesus?

When is the last time you considered the question, “Who is Jesus?”

Even if you don’t go to church or believe in God, I would guess that many of us have wondered about Jesus all of our lives. Who is he really?

If the answer to that question doesn’t come as easily as you would like, don’t worry. Most people, even many Christians, might not know exactly how to answer them. In fact, we tend to have more questions than answers when it comes to Jesus. Think about it...

Jesus is the most influential and important person to ever live. Billions follow him all around the world. But it’s not just church-goers who are fasicinted with him. He’s the subject of movies and Broadway shows. His picture is on everything from t-shirts to Time magazine. His words are written in ink on our bodies, and in stone on our universities and government buildings. Jesus appears in Kanye songs, and country songs. And in the coming weeks leading up to Easter, news channels will do indepth documentaries of his life, words, and whether or not he’s a liar or Lord.

We are fascinated by Jesus… but we don’t know what to make of

him, either. Even the people in Jesus’ day didn’t know what to make him. Jesus once asked his followers, “Who do people say that I am?” And the answers were a mixed bag of “some say this and some say that”! Not much has changed in 2,000 years.

But then Jesus asked more pointed question: “Who do YOU say that I am?” (emphasis mine). And that’s the question that still resonates today, and that every person must ultimately answer.

As we approach the start of Lent on Wednesday, February 14 and Easter Sunday, on April 1, you will hear scientists, scholars, pastors and priests give their answers. But the most important answer to that question is your answer.

And if you’re interested in exploring the answer to that question in a casual, contemporary environment, then you’re invited to The Journey Church Sundays, February 11 – March 25 to a new teaching series called THIS IS JESUS. Examine the evidence, expand your understanding, investigate the historical facts, and answer the question for yourself: Who is Jesus?

Jason Hatley is the lead pastor of The Journey Church in Boca Raton. The Journey meets at Grandview Preparatory School (Spanish River Blvd near I-95) each Sunday at 9:30am and 11:00am, and will celebrate the Grand Opening of their brand-new building in Boca Raton in Spring 2018. For more, visit www.BocaJourney.com. Jason is the author of two books and served for ten years as a pastor in New York City before moving to South Florida. Each person who attends The Journey Church this Sunday will receive a free copy of The Jesus Film (the most watched movie of all time).

Harvey Talks Art, Passion for Sea Life at STEAM Luncheon established the Guy Harvey Research Institute at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale and the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, Inc.

One of his research projects is to tag sharks to study their travel patterns.

These sharks include tiger sharks, oceanic white tips and shortfin mako sharks, which Harvey described as the “coolest and fastest” of the species.

“These sharks are not wandering aimlessly,” Harvey said. “They know where they are, where they’ve been and where they’re going. Some travel thousands of miles to up to five different countries.”

Harvey and his team of researchers also track many other species throughout the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and beyond including blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish and stingrays.

Harvey also encourages creating more homes for these species with artificial coral reefs, such as with Palm Beach State’s Reef Hope Project.

According to Harvey, the reefs are being threatened all over the world by many factors including climate change, overfishing, poor agricultural practices and disease.

“There is a lot to do,” Harvey said. “I team up with a lot of people, and we like to collaborate together. It’s our collective responsibility to help with these efforts.”

As his speech came to a close, Harvey encouraged the crowd to contribute to conservation efforts.

“The first thing is to educate yourself,” Harvey said. “You must educate yourself about the issues. Learn about the fish that you consume. And then once you arm yourself with knowledge, you must try to educate people around you. Become an influence and then do something about it.”

Harvey said one easy way people can contribute to conservation efforts is by purchasing specialty license plates such as with the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation plate where annual fees are donated to the foundation to fund marine-related scientific research.

Proceeds from the luncheon will go toward the College’s STEAM initiative, a multi-year initiative to impact the projected shortage of local, skilled professionals in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) fields. To date, the initiative has raised $2.5 million to fund new student scholarships, develop academic program enhancements, provide new internships for students and build new business and community partnerships.

Diving with tiger sharks off the coast of Mexico, exploring the coral reefs along Panama or painting sea creatures on the hull of a massive cruise ship. These are some of the ways Dr. Guy Harvey spends his days.

The marine biologist who gained international recognition for his paintings of sea creatures, spoke Wednesday at the Palm Beach State College Foundation’s sixth annual STEAM luncheon. He took the more than 500 attendees on a journey through his 32-year career. The event was held at the Kravis Center for Performing Arts Cohen Pavilion, which was decorated with pictures of coral reefs and sea life.

Harvey showcased more than 20 pieces of his artwork of birds, turtles, sharks, bill fish, dolphins, stingrays and more that he said were painted from personal experience. He spoke fondly about his early childhood in Jamaica, where his love of nature developed.

“Both my parents loved fishing,” said Harvey, a 10th generation Jamaican. “We spent many hours fishing and diving together and caught all kinds of fish.

Those early experiences built a love of the sea in me and I became fascinated with fish.”

Harvey, who grew up in a military family, eventually moved to England when he was eight years old. After graduating high school, he earned a degree in marine biology from Aberdeen University in Scotland. He then went back home and earned a Ph.D. in fisheries biology from the University of the West Indies.

He served as a professor for a short time; however, he never stopped drawing and painting sea life. In the early 1980s, Harvey decided to exhibit his artwork in a few hotels in Jamaica.

“I sold some of my art and my career began,” Harvey said. He then sold all of his work at his first appearance at a Fort Lauderdale boat show. The Guy Harvey brand developed from then on.

Today, his artwork is seen all over South Florida and beyond at SeaWorld, the Norwegian Escape cruise line, Ford Motor Company, as well as on license plates, jewelry, clothing and more.

Harvey told the crowd that his passion is not limited to art; he is also very involved in conservation efforts. For years, he has been making regular trips throughout the Caribbean and beyond to collect data.

“There is a lack of research on so many different species,” Harvey said.

“Without data, you can’t really study them. With data, you can educate people and effect conservation.”

To help in these efforts, Harvey

A gifted striker, like his father, Giovanni has also played for Guarani U17 (2012 – 2014), and Udinese Calcio of the Italian Serie A (2014-2016).

“We are very excited with the addition of Giovanni to our 2018 NPSL family,” said club president Douglas Heizer. “Gio is a talented player and not only has a great attitude in the field but also outside of it, which is something we also look at here at Boca Raton FC.”

Massey’s Buzzer-Beater Lifts FAU Owls Past Rice

By: Michael Demyan

The Florida Atlantic University Owls were able to narrowly escape with a thrilling 63-62 victory on the road against the Rice University Owls Saturday, thanks to a three-point shot at the buzzer from Justin Massey.

The game was tied at 60 with only a minute remaining before Rice’s Connor Cashaw sunk a jump shot with three seconds left on the clock. Down by two, Payton Hulsey grabbed the inbounds pass and tossed it to Massey, who quickly unleashed the ball from 35 feet out, sealing the victory.

“It’s a shot he’ll remember for the rest of his life,” Rice head coach Scott Pera said. “Bishop (Mency) had a hand in his face. I don’t know how many of those you make, but he made it when he needed to and credit goes to them and they deserved to win.”

FAU (10-11, 4-5 C-USA) has now won four of their last six games, but had lost the last two heading into Saturday.

“These Saturday games are tough, but our guys stuck with it,” FAU head coach Michael Curry said. “The last two Saturday’s

www.bocaratontribune.com

on the road (UTSA and Rice), we’ve made big shots at the end.”

Rice (5-17, 2-7 C-USA) seemed to have the upper hand offensively to start the game.

They made four of their first five attempts from beyond the arc, giving them a 12-9 lead. FAU kept the pressure on though and took command for the rest of the half, holding as high as a 10-point lead until Cashaw cut the gap to eight with a basket just before halftime.

Rice’s strong offense came right back to start the second half however, quickly building a 12-3 run to take the lead. For the rest of the game, FAU sought to not let a win slip through their fingers. They trailed by six with 7:35 remaining, but slowly inched forward to a close, back and forth duel for the final six minutes.

Ronald Delph, this week’s C-USA player of the week, led the team with 20 points and added five rebounds. He also passed Damon Arnette for sole possession of fifth place on FAU’s career rebounds list with 554.

Massey put up 18 points of his own, including the game-winning shot.

Gerdarius Troutman also finished in double digits with 10 points, including an important three-pointer which tied the game at 54.

Another notables were William Pfister, who had 11 rebounds and Hulsey, who totaled five assists, seven rebounds and a steal. Cashaw led Rice with 16 points.

FAU’s next stop will be back at The Burrow to host Louisiana Tech on Thursday at 7 p.m..
