Thoroughbred proud.

ON YOUR MARKS.

We’ll give you the opportunity to shine through NJCAA, NCWA, Division II, and Division III athletics competition. We’ll help you find the drive to rise above and become more than just a winner on the court: our athletes are winners in the community through volunteering opportunities that are integrated with the program.

We’re Thoroughbred proud – inside and out.

WE’RE RECRUITING NOW – ARE YOU READY TO RISE STRONG?

MEET YOUR TEAM

Athletic Director

Mike Davis

Athletic Director

Mike is one of the lucky ones. He is a lifelong sports fan who has had the privilege of turning his passion into his vocation. He caught the sportscasting bug while a student at Toccoa Falls College, going on to be a part of the radio broadcast teams for NC State, Duke, Southern Miss, and others. He was the Sports Director for the North Carolina News Network before serving as the SID at Mid-Atlantic Christian University. And with experience as communication instructor for five years at Harrison College, Mike puts the emphasis on the first word in “student-athlete.” He is thrilled to be a part of the team at Blue Lights College and guiding the Thoroughbreds to victory in the gym, in the classroom, and in life.
