Falcons’ Vic Beasley still speaker for date-changed Best of Preps banquet

Vic Beasley, who led the NFL in sacks last season and helped the Atlanta Falcons reach the Super Bowl, will be the featured speaker at this year’s Times Free Press Best of Preps banquet.

The banquet is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 27, at the Chattanooga Convention Center. That is a change from the original date to accommodate a scheduling conflict that arose with a mandatory Falcons team meeting for Beasley.

“I’m glad we were able to work things out so that I can be a part of the banquet. It’s something I’m looking forward to,” Beasley said.

Every athlete and coach named to a Times Free Press Best of Preps first, second or third team for the 2016-17 school year will receive one complimentary ticket to attend the banquet. An email will be sent to those with a private link for them to RSVP. Anyone else who wishes to attend the banquet – tickets are $50 – can do so by going to bestofprepschatt.com and ordering tickets there.
