On the playing field, Harvey was able to cover Bethune-Cookman Football as the Wildcats amassed at least a share of four consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championships from 2012-15, in addition to working closely with the nationally-renowned Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, as former head coach Jason Beverlin guided the Cats to the Gainesville [Fla.] Regional final against the eventual 2017 Men’s College World Series Champion Florida Gators.
