Greetings Alumni and Friends!
|
Graduation is within sight and that means a new group of Alumni! We wish each of them the very best as they enter the workforce or transition to 4-year institutions.
As we wind things down this semester, we still have one fundraiser and that is our Drawdown for Men's and Women's Soccer, and Softball. The event will be held on Friday, May 13th, at Brewskies in Hattiesburg. The original plan called for The Bottling Company, but renovations there, we have moved to Brewskies. We will get things kicked off at 6 pm. Tickets are $100 which admits two for dinner and drinks and gets one name into the drawing for $10,000. Lloyd Munn and his band will be performing for us that night. They did a great job at the Football Drawdown last year.
As you may have heard we unveiled the bronze bobcat a couple of weeks ago. It will be permanently placed in front of the C.L. Neil Student Center once the "plaza" project is completed. For now, you can see it, and perhaps have a photo op in the Tisdale Library lobby.
Our Softball and Baseball teams are still very much in the thick of things and are either in or will soon be in state tournament and postseason play. If you have not been able to make it to any games, you still can catch some action at " The Bank".
Football has wrapped up spring training with 29 players working hard to earn their spot. The remainder of the group will be arriving in July and that will push our total number up over 60. Coach Buckley and his staff promise a new look for this fall.
On the academic side, we are rolling out half price tuition for the summer for the second year in a row. This is a great way to take some classes for a reduced cost. Be sure to sign up soon!
Until next time......Go Bobcats!!

One of the most well-known football players in Mississippi junior college history was recently inducted into the 
ea to create more school pride. A bronze bobcat was purchased with donations from alumni and student fundraising efforts.
East Central led Itawamba 5-4 in the top of the third inning with two outs when the game was called.
