Two Selma High School seniors won a total of $10,000 in a Shark Tank Pitch Series as part of the Empowerment Summit Friday.

The summit, held at Wallace Community College, is part of NFL player Michael Johnson’s MJ93-90 Foundation.

Lakira Fails won $3,000 for Luxurious Lengths and Kamau Little won $7,000 for HWY 80 Productions. The eight students in competition for the money had to submit business plans for judges to consider.

Judges were Johnson, Jackie Smith, owner of The Coffee Shoppe; Jewell Williamson of Cornerstone Realty; Christian Crane, Senior Vice President at First Cahawba Bank and Dr. Bruce Taylor of Taylor Internal Medicine.
