NORMAN, Oklahoma - Bahamas Consul General to Atlanta Randy Rolle (left) and Vice Consul Mia Ferguson are pictured with Bahamian basketball sensation Buddy Hield after he scored 30 points to lead the No. 1-ranked Oklahoma Sooners to a 91-67 rout of Texas Tech on Tuesday night, January 26, 2016. Oklahoma is one of the states included in the Bahamas Atlanta Consulate’s jurisdiction, and Consul General Rolle and Vice Consul Ferguson were officially on a two-day tour of schools in Oklahoma. They had earlier visited Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami, Oklahoma, where they discussed more opportunities for Bahamian students to pursue music at Northeastern A&M with Mr. Adam Compton, Instrumental Music Instructor. Consul General Rolle said, “Having the opportunity to watch such a sensational Bahamian college basketball star in action was just amazing. We had the opportunity to sit with him before the game. He spoke about school, family and basketball. I was blown away by his personality and how grounded he is as a young Bahamian. His Mother, I am told, is an amazing woman and makes sure he stays focused. As we sat down to chat, he noticed that we were wearing Bahamian pins and said he wants one, so Mia Ferguson took off her pin and gave it to him and he wore it at the post-game press conference.”
