Twin Sisters Graduate With Highest Honors, Pay Tribute to Their Mom Who Passed Away Last Year Khaliyah and Aaliyah White, twin sisters from Philadelphia, have graduated as the number 1 and 2 students of their class at GAMP High School. Despite the hardships they faced, Khaliyah graduated valedictorian and Aaliyah graduated salutatorian with their drive and motivation. The twins dedicate their success most especially to their mother who passed away last year. “She was proud of us for everything that we were doing,” the twins told NBC News about their mother. Aside from their academics, the two sisters were also occupied with participating in track and field and theater plays. Due to the pandemic, they will be having their graduation virtually wherein they are set to address their fellow graduates. “We’re still doing everything even though it is not the same as before. We’re going through this and we will be stronger and more prepared for anything that comes in the future.” Both of them are pursuing premed but Khaliyah is heading to #DelawareState University, while Aaliyah is going to the University of #Pennsylvania. It will be the first time they will be separated for long and they are excited about what is ahead of them.

A Delaware mayor who came out for church/ state separation,  is exactly right, the Govt. shouldn’t be promoting religion, and churches don’t get to promote their religion on public property paid for by all, except of course, those very churches.

Good Job, Mayor Kuhns standing up for Separation of Church and State

Delaware State mourns the death of Al Lavan, former head football coach

Dover, Del. — Delaware State University Athletics mourns the passing of former Hornet head football coach Alton “Al” Lavan, who died early Monday in Colorado. Lavan was DSU’s head football coach for seven seasons from 2004-to-2010, posting an overall record of 41-37 and a 34-21 mark in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. In 2007, Lavan led the Hornets to a 10-2 overall record and the school’s first MEAC championship in 16 years with a perfect 8-0 league mark, the second team in conference history to achieve the feat. The 10 overall wins still stand as a team record. With the conference title, Delaware State earned a trip to the NCAA playoffs for the first time, matching up against Delaware in the first-ever meeting between the state’s two Division I programs. Delaware State rose as high as 10th in the 2007 Football Championship Subdivision national rankings and finished the season at No. 15 in the Sports Network poll and 16th in the ESPN Coaches poll. The American Sports Wire selected the Hornets as its 2007 Black College National Champions, while DSU was second in the final Sheridan Broadcast Network HBCU poll. Lavan was selected as the 2007 Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C., Coach-of-the-Year and finished second in the voting for the national FCS top coach award. In 2006, Lavan led the Hornets to an 8-3 record, finishing second in the MEAC standings with a 6-2 conference mark. The team received national attention, garnering a No. 23 ranking heading into the final regular-season game. The national ranking was DSU’s first since the 1992 season. During his second season as DSU head coach in 2005, Lavan guided Delaware State to a 7-4 overall record (6-2 MEAC). Finishing No. 2 in the MEAC standings that season, DSU registered a perfect home record (5-0) for the first time since 1985. Lavan coached the Hornets to a 4-3 MEAC record in 2004, giving DSU a winning conference mark for the first time in four years. Before accepting the Delaware State position, he served two seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan University. Lavan was promoted to assistant head coach for the 2003 football season. Upon the late-season firing of then-head coach Jeff Woodruff, he was named as interim head coach. After taking over the 1-8 football team, Eastern Michigan won two of its final three games under Lavan. In more than 18 years as an NFL assistant, Lavan’s resume’ includes stints with the Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs. A member of NFL Hall-of-Fame coach Tom Landry’s staff with the Dallas Cowboys, Lavan served as running backs for greats Tony Dorsett and Herschel Walker during his time with the Cowboys. He was a member of George Seifert’s 1990 Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers’ coaching staff. Lavan’s collegiate coaching tenure also included stops at Colorado State, Louisville, Iowa State, Georgia Tech, Stanford, and Washington. A college standout at Colorado State, Lavan played in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons before his career was cut short due to injury. He was inducted into the Delaware State University Athletics Hall-of-Fame in 2013. Funeral arrangements have yet to be released by Lavan's family. Courtesy: DSU Athletics Read the full article
