The City of Senatobia is a thriving, bustling, growing community located only 30 minutes south of Memphis, Tennessee. Senatobia is the county seat of Tate County and is located along Interstate 55. Senatobia’s population is about 7,000 people, while Tate County has about 27,000. As our community grows, so does our reputation as a great place to live!
12
According to a published history of Tate County, the City of Senatobia was founded on two sections of land purchased in 1834 from the Chickasaw nation for $1.25 per acre. The name “Senatobia” was derived from the Indian word “ Senatohoba,” which means “white Sycamore” and is a symbol of “rest for the weary.” Senatobia received its charter as a municipality in 1860.
Tate County is a tale of two uniquely Southern cities—Senatobia and Coldwater. Both towns are full of small-town charm and character. And each town has its own story to tell. Coldwater would tell you of its original location a mile west of where it now sits. It would tell you of the entire town, complete with its churches, businesses, homes and water tower, being moved in 1943 to make room for Arkabutla Lake. It would welcome you to stop in for a visit and suggest that you see its antique shops and other businesses along Highway 51. Senatobia also has stories to share. As the county seat of Tate County, Senatobia extends a special invitation for you to stop in to visit the Tate County Courthouse. Tate County’s distinctive Italian Romanesque courthouse was built in 1875 and completely restored in 1998. This beautiful landmark is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Architecturally, our courthouse is the only one of its kind in the entire state. The Heritage Museum is located in the Tate County Courthouse. The museum’s collections and exhibits are professionally displayed throughout the courthouse. These displays are a must-see for history buffs! Unique shops line Senatobia’s Front and Main streets downtown. Highway 51 and Norfleet Drive also ask you to visit their antique shops, outlet stores and other specialty shops. Take time to stop and dine at one of our many restaurants. Tate County is also home to the 33,400-acre Arkabutla Lake and the gentle rolling hills of north Mississippi. Fields are planted in the summer with cotton, soy beans, corn, tomatoes and watermelons. Arkabutla Lake is available for fishing, picnicking and water activities. The casinos are little more than a 30-minute drive to the west. Tate County is a comfortable place where we say “y’all” and order “sweet tea” with our lunch and dinner. Drivers stop to allow those on foot to cross the street and wave at them for good measure. We live in a unique point in time here in Tate County; we embrace the changes that technology brings but also lovingly hold on to those gentle old habits like chatting over the fence with a neighbor or sipping iced tea on the front porch with a friend. Most of us still say “yes, ma’am” and “no, sir” and teach our children to do the same. And if you stay with us long enough, you’re even apt to hear someone say “Well, bless your heart!” So just slow down, sit back and take in all of our “Southern” charm. After all, you’re in Tate County...and we sure do welcome you!

ABOUT
NORTHWEST FOOTBALL
BOBBY FRANKLIN FIELD uRanger Stadium at Bobby Franklin Field is the home of Northwest Ranger football. In 2005, the field at Ranger Stadium was named after longtime head coach Bobby Franklin who retired at the end of the 2004 season. This beautifully landscaped, lighted facility features a state of the art concession stand and restrooms, seating for approximately 3,000 spectators and the Ranger Football Complex behind the north end zone that has more than enough parking for both fanbases, team buses and more.

ABOUT
Northwest has won a league-tying 20 games the last two seasons
30
Playing for a championship has once again become the norm for Northwest football. Fresh off back-to-back appearances in the MACJC Championship game, consecutive NJCAA bowl games and a Top 10 national ranking, this year’s lofty expectations should be no different. Add in the brand new, state-of-the-art $5 million Ranger Football Complex and Northwest has all sorts of momentum on and off the field. Northwest is preseason ranked No. 6 by the NJCAA, No. 8 by College Football America Yearbook, No. 13 by Street & Smith’s College Football Preview magazine and 18th by JCGridiron.com. Although the Rangers only return three starters from last year’s MACJC runner-up team and a handful of letterwinners overall, the 2017 roster will feature a star-studded class with nearly 20 nationally-ranked prospects – a dozen of those hailing from Mississippi. Twenty-seven players from last year’s team moved on to four-year programs, with 18 of those inking with Division I teams. That number has steadily climbed the last two seasons (43 total) and there’s no signs of stopping that trend. Northwest finished 9-3 overall in 2016 under first-year head coach Benjy Parker, with all three losses coming to Top 5 opponents. That comes a year after going 11-1 and winning the MACJC and NJCAA National Championship in 2015. The Rangers will host just four games at Bobby Franklin Field this season, five on the road. The season kicks off Thursday, August 31 at 6:30 p.m. against Hinds in Senatobia. Fans can watch/listen to Ranger football all season long at nwccrangers.com/watch, on the radio dial at 106.9 FM Country Legends or by downloading the Country 101 WBLE app from the iTunes Store or Google Play. NORTHWEST OFFENSE Returning Starters: 2 Northwest averaged just under 400 yards per game last season under new OC Stan Hill and had the fifth-best scoring offense (31 ppg) in the league behind a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Quarderman Sloan and Tywun Walters – a first in program history. Expect Hill and the Rangers to play up-tempo as much as possible, upwards of 70-80 snaps a game. In the trenches, NJCAA Second Team All-American Damien Lewis (Canton), Tyler Walker (Northwest Rankin) and Tairek Johnson (Corinth) all return on the offensive line, which bodes well for another two-headed rushing attack in 2017. Northwest will average a hefty 315 pounds and has reloaded with guys like Colton Skidmore (Oxford), Keenen Davis (Horn Lake), Tae-Kion Reed (New Hope), Lavante Epson Jr. (Washington School) and Trevin Bass (Provine) among others. The Rangers return the MACJC’s second-leading rusher in the aforementioned Sloan, who rushed for 1,053 yards and seven touchdowns and added 23 receptions for 182 yards a year ago. Kevin Perkins (Rosa Fort), who redshirted a season ago and trimmed down from 230 to 215 pounds, and Billy Kimble (Charleston), who rushed for nearly 1,700 yards and 22 touchdowns his senior year, will see plenty of touches in the backfield. One of the biggest offseason acquisitions was snagging former Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year Jack Abraham from Oxford High School. The pro-style quarterback and three-star prospect redshirted last season at Louisiana Tech after throwing for over 12,000 yards and 130 touchdowns at Oxford. Robert Wilcke, a former Hernando standout in football and baseball, will also see time as a freshman. Jerrick Orr (Aberdeen) is likely to be one of Abraham’s top targets and is the Rangers’ top returning receiver after hauling in 25 passes for 402 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman. Newcomers JaVonta Payton (Hillsboro, Tenn.), Pro Wells (Milford Academy), Mack Martin III (Meridian) and Brandin Echols (Southaven) to name a few, have all looked solid in fall camp. Payton and Wells are both nationally-ranked prospects and have enter-

tained offers from the likes of Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Marshall, Iowa State and South Florida. NORTHWEST DEFENSE Returning Starters: 1 The Rangers boasted the second-best scoring defense in the MACJC (18.3 ppg) and third-ranked total defense (304.3 ypg) last season, the best in coach Parker’s three-year role as defensive coordinator. Northwest held eight of its 12 opponents to 14 points or less, including a 34-0 shutout of Coahoma, 48-6 win over division rival Northeast and 38-7 thumping at Mississippi Delta. The Rangers were 4-3 against NJCAA ranked teams. Northwest also broke a 24-year-old school record with 117 tackles-for-loss and finished with 46 sacks, seventh-most in single-season school history. Sixteen Rangers were lost all together on defense after signing with four-year programs, including 12 to Division I schools. The monster class was highlighted by linebacker Adonis Thomas, who signed with Florida State, while West Virginia, South Carolina, Memphis, Kansas, Bowling Green, Middle Tennessee State and Georgia Southern all snagged big-time prospects. Northwest has replaced that with three and four star transfers from Mississippi State, Auburn and Ohio State and several other former four-year commits. Lineman Hal Northern (Rosa Fort) is the lone returning starter on defense and

2016 REVIEW
The sure-handed Jack Creely (Madison Central) will once again take care of snapping duties after starting in all 12 games a year ago. Creely snapped for every point after, field goal and punt last season and graded out nearly perfect. Twins Cole and Turner Rotenberry typically rotate as holders on field goals and PAT. In the return game, four guys have been rotating time returning kicks in camp. Demarcus Jones (Warren Central), Monta Thomas (Hermitage), Brandin Echols (Southaven) and Keshunn Abram (DeSoto Central). Cole Rotenberry is the Rangers’ primary punt returner, finishing with 204 return yards a year ago, sixth-most in a single-season. Echols will most likely back him up.
COACHING STAFF
NORTHWEST SPECIAL TEAMS Returning Starters: 2 Drake McCarter (Saltillo) will handle both kicking and punting duties for a second straight season and is on pace to break Northwest career records for field goals made and attempted and punting average. McCarter was a First Team All-MACJC punter and second team all-conference kicker a year ago and is once again on the Fred Mitchell Award Watch List for the nation’s top kickers from all divisions.
ABOUT
he’s poised to have an even bigger sophomore year. Northern finished with 49 tackles, 15.5 tackles-for-loss and 6.5 sacks as a freshman and has already received over a dozen four-year offers, including Florida Atlantic, Colorado State, Troy, Memphis and Southern Miss to name a few. The Rangers are stacked up front behind Northern, signing freshmen Tariqious Tisdale (Lexington), Nathan “Truck” Perry (Germantown), D.J. Reed (Horn Lake), Taurus Payne (Hoover) and Tyren Irby (Lake Cormorant) among other studs. Tisdale, a former Ole Miss commit who’s rated a three-star prospect by numerous recruiting sites, will become a household name once the season starts. Keith Brown Jr. (Madison Central) is the lone returning linebacker, finishing with 24 tackles, 6.5 tackles-for-loss, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble a season ago. The Rangers are extremely inexperienced in that position and could rotate a handful of guys to open the season before finding the right fit. Robert Miller (Olive Branch/Memphis), Jonathan Jones (Charleston), Brandon Pierre (Horn Lake), Greg Williams (Tupelo), Dee Rule (Lake Cormorant) and D.J. Hall (South Panola) will all be fighting for playing time. Numbers wise, Jones is the most decorated of the group. As a senior at Charleston, he finished with a single-season school record 162 tackles and also led the Tigers to three consecutive Class 3A state title game appearances. Miller, who redshirted at Memphis last year, had a team-high 118 tackles, 12 quarterback hurries, seven tackles-for-loss and two sacks his senior year. In the secondary, Northwest has to replace five Division I signees in Kaleb Chalmers (South Carolina), Wesley Bush (MTSU), Fred Garth Jr. (Bowling Green), K.T. McCollin (SEMO) and Tito Windham (Memphis). Ahmad Alexander (Charleston) and Turner Rotenberry (South Panola) are the lone two returners in the unit. Transfers Marlon Character Jr. (Auburn), Joshua Norwood (Ohio State) and Chris Stamps (Mississippi State), all three and four-star ranked prospects, have taken leadership roles and been the most vocal during fall camp. The trio have all but solidified their starting spots. Newcomers Monta Thomas (Hermitage), Malik Sanders (Greenville), Tre Truly (Charleston), Kenderius Glenn (Meridian) and Chris Shannon (Tupelo) will all be competing for playing time in the second unit.

Benjy Parker is entering his 12th season as a junior college football coach and his second as the head coach at Northwest. In 20 seasons overall as a collegiate coach, Parker has been a part of three NJCAA national championships with three different programs in Jones County, Butler (Kan.) and Northwest, and coached in 12 bowl games. Parker was promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach on Feb. 17, 2016, and guided the Rangers to a 9-3 overall record, MACJC runner-up finish, Heart of Texas Bowl berth and No. 6 NJCAA final ranking in 2016. The signal caller for the Ranger defense enjoyed his best season in three years, with Northwest boasting the MACJC’s second-ranked scoring defense (18.3 ppg) and third-ranked total defense (304.3 ypg). Northwest also broke a 24-year-old school record with 117 tackles-for-loss and finished with 46 sacks, 7th most in single season school history. Northwest held eight of its 12 opponents to 14 points or less, including a 34-0 shutout of Coahoma, 48-6 win over division rival Northeast and 38-7 thumping at Mississippi Delta. The Rangers were also 4-3 against NJCAA ranked teams. Parker has coached 22 all-conference players in his first three seasons, six NJCAA All-Region 23 players and five NJCAA All-Americans. Thirty-nine of his players have signed with four-year programs, including an impressive 27 to Division I schools. Prior to Northwest, the Bruce, Miss., native spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Troy University, one with the defensive secondary and seven coaching linebackers. Parker is well-known in the Mississippi Junior College ranks and proved to be beneficial in recruiting that area for the Trojans. Troy won five consecutive Sun Belt Championships and posted five consecutive 8-win seasons from 2006-10. The Trojans also played in four bowl games in his eight seasons, including winning the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl twice, 41-17 over Rice in 2006 and 48-21 over Ohio in 2010. Prior to his stint at Troy, Parker served as the defensive coordinator at Northeast
Mississippi Community College for two seasons (2004-05). At Northeast, Parker helped turn the Tigers into a national powerhouse, and in his final season, the Tigers were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation and finished with a 7-2 overall record. They played in the Pilgrim’s Pride Bowl against Trinity Valley, the only bowl appearance in program history. Prior to his two successful seasons at Northeast, Parker spent four seasons as linebackers coach at Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Kan. He coached four NJCAA All-Americans at Butler and helped the Grizzlies to the 2003 NJCAA National Championship. Parker’s other coaching experience includes spending a summer as a graduate assistant at Louisiana-Monroe in 2000 and two seasons at Jones County Junior College (1998-99) where he helped the Bobcats to a perfect 12-0 record during the 1998 season and NJCAA National Championship. Parker played at Itawamba Community College (1993-94), later earned his bachelor’s in exercise science from Ole Miss (1998) and finished his master’s degree in education at William Carey University (2000). Parker is married to the former Emily Moore of Calhoun County and the couple has one daughter, Mary Hasting (8).

Adamson was the 2012 Oxford Eagle Player of the Year, a first team all-state selection by the Clarion-Ledger and played in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game, while Billups was the 2010 5A Player of the Year and two-time all-district selection. Hill grew up in a very athletic family, the son of legendary Oxford High School coach Johnny Hill and the youngest of four brothers who were also all-star athletes. Hill played collegiately at Marshall University from 2001-04, quarterbacking the Thundering Herd to a combined 36-14 record, 2002 MAC Championship and two GMAC bowl victories over East Carolina and Louisville. Hill threw for 4,711 career yards (10th in school history) and 38 touchdowns (8th, school history) and also rushed for six career touchdowns, including a last-second 1-yard run in place of an injured Byron Leftwich to beat Ben Roethlisberger and Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 13, 2002. As a junior, Hill’s 165.9 quarterback rating was the second-highest in the nation while his 69.6 completion percentage ranked fourth nationally. Entering his senior season, he was one of 22 candidates for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was named to the Davey O’Brien Award Watch List. After graduation from Marshall, Hill tried out for several NFL teams before going on to play in the Arena Football League (AFL) with Memphis, Oklahoma City and New Orleans. He signed with Memphis’ AFL2 franchise, then was traded to Bossier City where he suffered a season-ending injury after only three games. Hill was then named the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz’s starting quarterback, beating out three others for the job, and went on to be named conference MVP. Hampered by injuries, Hill eventually had to hang up playing the game he loved and decided to turn his attention to coaching. Hill is married to the former Lauren Scott, an all-conference women’s soccer player at Marshall, and the couple have three boys Wade (8), Tate (6) and Reed (3).

Stan Hill is entering his second season as offensive coordinator for the Rangers, coming off eight successful seasons at Oxford High School. An Oxford native with Tupelo roots, Hill’s offensive scheme is a run-and-gun, pass-friendly approach. Northwest boasted two 1,000-yard rushers in his first season in Quarderman Sloan and Tywun Walters, a program-first, giving the Rangers an MACJC-best streak of three straight seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher. The Rangers rushed a schoolrecord 515 times for 2,081 yards and 21 touchdowns. Northwest had the MACJC’s fifth-best scoring offense (31 ppg) and total offense (377.9 ypg) and third-ranked pass offense (204.5 ypg) under Hill last year. Offensive lineman Damien Lewis, also an NJCAA Second Team All-American, the aforementioned Walters, tight end Romeel Cochran and center J.R. Burns all earned all-conference honors in 2016. Hill arrived at Oxford High School in 2008 and his offense was one of the premier in the state in the last five seasons in numerous categories. The Chargers advanced to the playoffs in six of his eight seasons, including three consecutive 5A state title games, and posted double digit wins in each of the past four seasons. The last four starting quarterbacks that have played for Hill, Clay Holgorsen (Northwestern State), Jack Abraham (Louisiana Tech/now at Northwest), Parker Adamson (Southern Mississippi) and Guy Billups (Rice) all signed with NCAA Division I programs as well as multiple receivers, tight ends and linemen under his offensive system. Abraham threw for 12,021 career yards and 130 touchdowns and was named the Gatorade 5A Player of the Year, USA Today Mississippi Offensive Player of the Year and Clarion-Ledger Dandy Dozen selection.

Nine-year MACJC veteran Travis Macon is set to enter his fourth season at Northwest as the defensive line coach. Over the course of his three years in charge of the defensive line, Macon has helped make that unit arguably one of the most talented in the MACJC and prepared them to be impact players at the four-year level. Last season, Northwest boasted the MACJC’s second-ranked scoring defense and third-ranked total defense and broke a 24-year-old school record with 117 tacklesfor-loss. The Rangers also finished with 46 sacks, 7th most in single season school history, 69 quarterback hurries and 15 forced fumbles. Northwest held eight of its 12 opponents to 14 points or less, including a 34-0 shutout of Coahoma, 48-6 win over division rival Northeast and 38-7 thumping at Mississippi Delta. The Rangers were also 4-3 against NJCAA ranked teams. Under Macon, eight out of nine players who have continued their careers signed to Division I programs, including the likes of Louisville, West Virginia and Kansas. Between Northwest and his previous stint at Northeast, Macon has helped send 22 players to four-year schools.
A native of Starkville, Macon was the defensive coordinator at his alma mater, Northeast Mississippi Community College, from 2012-13 and had been with the Tigers since 2008. In 2011, Macon coached the defensive line and helped lead Northeast into the postseason for the first time in six years. After coaching the offensive line in 2008, Macon moved over the defensive side of the ball in 2009 and has worked with the defense since that time. During his high school career, Macon helped the Starkville High Yellowjackets win back-to-back state titles from 1995-97. After graduating high school, Macon moved on to Northeast Mississippi Community College as a student-athlete where he played football for head coach Laurin Collins from 1998-99. Macon then transferred to the University of Mississippi where he played offensive tackle for the Rebels from 2000-02 for head coach David Cutcliffe. Macon helped the Rebels to an appearance in the Music City Bowl in 2000. After his playing career at Ole Miss, Macon eventually decided to begin his coaching career at Northeast in the fall of 2008. Macon worked with both the offensive and defensive line during his time there and coached 13 to four-year institutions including Daryl Petty (Northwestern Oklahoma State University) and Heath Blount (South Alabama), LaVon Hooks (Ole Miss/Green Bay Packers), Mario Addison (Troy University/Carolina Panthers), Bernard Smith (UL-Lafayette), Pat Moore (South Alabama), Anthony Brown (Memphis), John Brown (Tennessee), B.J. Taylor (University of Tennessee-Chattanooga), Anthony Payne (Murray State), Emmanuel Dudley (Troy University), Jeremy Liggins (Ole Miss) and Nicholas Thompson (Louisiana Tech). Macon is married to Deimara and they have three children Haleih (11), Brian (9) and Ambrielle (7).

national championship season. Jacob McCrary’s 886 yards receiving led the state, while Chapman’s 50 catches for 721 yards ranked third and Ryan Golden’s 488 yards in only five games ranked 10th. Oakley’s first stint with the Northwest football program came as an assistant from the 2002-05 seasons under Bobby Franklin, serving as the running backs and wide receivers coach. He was also a student assistant for the Rangers during the 1998-99 seasons while earning his degree. Northwest was 20-4 with two north division championships, a conference championship and Mineral Water Bowl appearance. Oakley then transferred to Ole Miss where he was a manager for three years during the David Cutcliffe era and head equipment manager during the 2001 season. While at Ole Miss, Oakley earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and was part of the Rebel football program that earned bowl berths in 1999 and 2001. Away from the gridiron, Oakley also spent eight seasons as an assistant coach for the Ranger softball program. During his eight years, the Rangers compiled an overall record of 253-118-1, including a 125-49 mark against division opponents. Northwest also captured two division titles during his stay, while boasting four seasons of 30 or more wins. A native of Senatobia, Oakley graduated from Senatobia High School in 1997 and lettered two years in football and three seasons in baseball. He was a member of the Warrior football team that claimed back-to-back district championships. Oakley’s family has been a part of Ranger sports for many years. His grandfather, the late W.C. “Bill” Oakley, is a member of the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame while his cousins, Drew and Brooks, each lettered in baseball. His twin brother, Shane, enters his 11th season as an assistant on the men’s basketball staff at Northwest. Oakley and the former Kalon Ferguson of Bruce were married on May 14, 2015, and welcomed their first child, Betsy Ann, on February 18, 2017.

Scott Oakley enters his 16th season at Northwest and his 14th as a full-time assistant leading the Rangers’ wide receiver unit. A familiar face around the city of Senatobia, Oakley is the longest tenured coach on staff. Oakley has helped guide Northwest to the postseason in 10 of his 15 seasons, including four bowl games, and been a part of two MACJC Championships and the Rangers’ 2015 NJCAA National Championship. Under his tutelage, a total of 15 receivers/tight ends have gone on to collect all-conference honors, including nine first-teamers. Oakley has also coached a trio of NJCAA All-Americans in Lance Ray (2011), Arena Football League veteran Michael Lindsey (2009) and two-time selection, John Harris (2002-03). Most recently, Oakley has had a hand in producing Division I players Marquisian Chapman (Northwestern State), Jamarius Mabry (Jackson State), Derrell Lovelady (Southern Mississippi), Marcus Henry (Middle Tennessee State), Lance Ray (East Carolina), Myles White (Louisiana Tech/N.Y. Jets) and Jamal Mosley (Ole Miss). As a unit, the Rangers’ receiving corps has flourished by hauling in 160 or more passes for over 2,000 yards in seven of the last nine seasons. Northwest had 209 receptions for 2,454 yards and 21 touchdowns a year ago, led by Chapman’s 59 grabs for 829 yards and five scores which was thirdbest in the conference.

Jim Jones enters his seventh season as the offensive line coach at Northwest as part of a second stint with the Rangers. Jones returned to Northwest in 2014 after one season as the offensive line coach at Pearl River Community College on William Jones’ staff. He previously coached the Rangers during the 2010-12 seasons. Northwest has ranked in the Top 25 in the NJCAA in rushing in five of Jones’ six seasons and reached new milestones in 2016. The Rangers boasted two 1,000-yard rushers (Quarderman Sloan & Tywun Walters) for the first time in program history, set a new school record with 515 rushing attempts and went over 2,000 yards rushing for just the 10th time in school history. The Rangers boasted the MACJC’s leading rusher in both 2014 and 2015 in NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year Justin Crawford, now at WVU, and have produced a conference-best 1,000-yard rusher in three straight seasons (four total). In his first stint with the Ranger football program, Jones’ offensive line helped pave the way for the nation’s 3rd-ranked offense in 2012 (434.1 ypg), 5th-ranked offense (485.4 ypg) in 2011 and 10th-ranked offense (413.6 ypg) in 2010. The Rangers averaged 198.5 yards on the ground in those three years, rushed for 200 or more in 15 games and eclipsed 500 yards of total offense 11 times. Northwest exploded for a season-high 439 yards rushing in a 66-41 win over Holmes in 2011, the third-most rushing yards in single-game school history. Backed by a pair of First Team All-MACJC selections and NJCAA First Team AllAmerican Donald Hawkins, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, the offensive line allowed just four sacks in 2011 in 648 plays from the line of scrimmage and 11 in 709 plays during the 2012 season behind Second Team All-American Austin Douglas. All told, Jones’ work with the offensive line has seen 16 players continue their careers at the four-year level, including 10 at the FBS or FCS level. Hawkins (Texas), Douglas (Northwestern State), Terry Johnson (Louisiana-Lafayette), Terrance Malone (Arkansas), Chase Johnson (Arkansas State), Chris Phillips (Southeastern Louisiana), Jermaine Jones (Southeastern Louisiana) and J.R. Burns (Murray State) are some of the most prized signees during his tenure. Jones came to Northwest in 2009 from Lake Forest College where he served as offensive line/tight ends coach, run-game coordinator and athletic recruiter. Prior to Lake Forest, Jones spent two seasons as a graduate assistant with the offensive line at the University of Virginia where the Cavaliers were 14-11 during
his two seasons and appeared in the Gator Bowl following the 2007 season. After giving up 33 sacks in 2007 (2.54 sacks/game), the Cavaliers improved significantly by giving up just 16 during the 2008 season (1.33 sacks/game). Jones played his college ball at Notre Dame from 1996-2000, playing in 24 career games (21 starts) and being recruited by legendary head coach Lou Holtz. He started at left guard his final two seasons for head coach Bob Davie after playing just three games combined over his first three seasons. He played a key role in helping the Fighting Irish rank 14th nationally in rushing and 17th in passing efficiency during the 2000 season. Jones was an All-Independent selection by Collegefootballnews.com at seasons’ end and was selected to play in the Rotary Gridiron Classic All-Star game in Orlando. Jones received his degree in sociology in 2000. He went on to play in the National Football League for six seasons, spending time with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and world champion Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2001-06 seasons. A native of Chicago, Jones was also a three-year letterman on the offensive and defensive lines at Richards High School. He was a First Team All-State pick on both offense and defense by the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and Champaign News-Gazette and named to the Super 25 All-Area Team.

nity College (2011-12) and three seasons at Southwest Mississippi (2008-10) as defensive backs coach. Webster started his collegiate career under legendary Northwest head coach Bobby Franklin during the 2003-04 seasons. Nationally-ranked both seasons, Webster helped lead the Rangers to a combined 15-4 overall record and 10-2 mark in the division with a north division championship his freshman season. As a freshman, the Rangers ranked fourth nationally in rushing defense (71.6 ypg), 14th in total defense (237.2 ypg) and 27th overall in passing defense (165.6 ypg). The following year, Northwest was ranked in the Top 10 in the country in total defense (212.0 ypg) and was second in pass defense (91.9 ypg). He finished his Ranger career with 108 tackles (63 solo), 24 breakups and a pair of interceptions. Northwest allowed just 15.2 ppg his freshman year and 15.1 ppg as a sophomore. Webster and the Rangers also averaged four sacks a contest during his sophomore season and he was named the team’s defensive MVP. Webster went on to play two seasons for Steve Mullins and the Wonder Boys of Arkansas Tech in 2006-07 and posted 126 tackles, 3.0 tackles-for-loss, two interceptions and five pass breakups. He played in 20 career games as Tech went 12-8 overall and 8-8 in Gulf South Conference play. Webster not only stood out on the field for the Wonder Boys but the Mississippi native also focused his concentration in the classroom. He was twice named to the ESPN The Magazine/College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District VI team — just the 27th Wonder Boy to garner the honor. Webster graduated from Arkansas Tech in 2008 with a bachelor’s in sociology and later received his master’s from Southern Mississippi in psychology in 2012. The Batesville native is married to the former Bridget Riley. The couple have two daughters, Kenadie (11), and Nori, born July 18, 2017, and son, Kaleb (10).

In addition to overseeing all education related matters system-wide, Lawson also supervises the athletic department, its coaches and support staff. Lawson began his career at Northwest in 1983, teaching what was then called Mortuary Science at DeSoto Center. He taught until 1987, when he was named director of Vocational Technical Education.

We are working on that now, and we have to do it.” Lawson grew up in Corning, Ark. and graduated from Corning High School. He attended Arkansas State University for two years and then went to Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science. He worked in the funeral service industry for 13 years in Little Rock and Memphis before he came to Northwest.

Steve Thompson begins his fourth year as the director of sports medicine at Northwest, working primarily with football. Thompson is no stranger to Northwest, playing briefly for the Rangers under hall of famer Bobby Ray Franklin during the 1982 National Championship season before a medical condition cut short his playing career. That injury influenced his desire to pursue a degree in the sports medicine field. After his recovery, Thompson went on to graduate from the University of Mississippi in 1990 with a double major in sports medicine and secondary education. He started an internship under then head trainer Leroy Mullins working with all sports and then went to work for the team physician, Dr. Wayne T. Lamar PA, a group of orthopedic surgeons. Under that sports medicine outreach program, Thompson was assigned to Northwest Junior College in 1990 where he was the first certified athletic trainer. In 1991, Thompson took a job as the director of sports medicine at Baptist Hospital in Oxford and spent two years there. In 1993, he broke away and began his own private practice, and in 1997, he co-founded Cornerstone Rehabilitation along with Jennifer McGavock where he’s been ever since. Outside of sports medicine, Thompson is involved in Kairos Prison Ministry at local jails and parchment penitentiary and he’s also on the board of directors for the Branch of Hope, which is a substance abuse treatment rehab center. Originally from Water Valley, Thompson was an all-district and all-conference defensive back at Water Valley High School and also played a season at Northwest.

#10 NORTHWEST #19 HINDS
The reigning national champion Northwest Rangers picked up where they left off in December, rolling to a 40-17 season-opening win over No. 19 Hinds at Joe Renfroe Stadium. Northwest won its fifth consecutive game dating back to last season and its seventh over a ranked opponent in the last 13 games. Benjy Parker was also victorious in his first game as a collegiate head coach, spending the previous two seasons as the Rangers’ defensive coordinator. After falling behind 7-3 after a quarter of play, Tywun Walters’ 1-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive to give the Rangers the lead for good. Fred Garth Jr. and Willie McCaleb each followed with defensive scores in the second quarter on a 42-yard interception return and 5-yard fumble return to give Northwest a 26-10 lead at half. Two, lengthy third quarter drives put the game well out of reach, both finished off by Quarderman Sloan touchdowns. Sloan scored from five and seven yards out to cap scoring drives of 80 and 92 yards in which the Rangers’ offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage. Northwest only threw two passes the entire second half, both completions. Hinds scored the lone touchdown of the fourth quarter with just under 7 minutes remaining as Micah Zanders rumbled in from 1-yard out. Northwest finished with 410 total yards, a solid balance of 212 on the ground and 198 through the air, and held Hinds to 301 yards – 114 of those coming in the fourth quarter with the game already decided. Memphis transfer quarterback Clay Holgorsen finished 15-for-20 for 198 yards, hitting six different receivers, including Jerrick Orr a team-high five times for 62 yards. Marquisian Chapman added four grabs for 52 yards. Sloan rushed for 100 yards and two scores on 21 carries and Walters added 89 on the ground to go along with a touchdown. Zanders was 15-for-36 for 272 yards and a score and was sacked five times. Hinds finished with 29 yards rushing on 28 carries. Defensively the Rangers were led by Quondarius Qualls’ three tackles and two sacks and Tomarcio Reese’s five tackles.

Northwest rallied from an early deficit for a second straight week and used a strong defensive effort on an off night for the offense to defeat Pearl River 31-14 in the 2016 home-opener. The Rangers won their eighth straight game at home to improve to 2-0 on the young season, while PRCC dropped to 0-2. Northwest led 3-0 after a quarter of play thanks to a 32-yard field goal by Drake McCarter, his third of the season in three attempts. Pearl River took its first lead with 3:15 remaining in the first half on a busted coverage play that resulted in a 44-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Dunn to Cameron Bolton. With 11 ticks left in the half, Northwest strung together a 5-play, 66-yard drive, capped by Clay Holgorsen’s 21-yard touchdown strike to Marquisian Chapman, to take a 10-7 lead into the break. Northwest used that momentum to score 21 unanswered points, quickly stretching its lead to 24-7 after three quarters. KyKy Austin hauled in his first touchdown pass of the season from 30 yards out and Quarderman Sloan added a 9-yard touchdown run as the Rangers took advantage of a short field both times thanks to turnovers. PRCC got within 24-14 with 7:01 to play on Timothy Arnold’s 14-yard strike to Joronnie Hinton before Tywun Walters put the finishing touches on the Wildcats with a 3-yard touchdown run with 1:36 remaining to make the final 31-14. Northwest’s defense hounded PRCC all evening, holding the Wildcats to 256 total yards and finishing with 13 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks and 15 quarterback hurries. Alabama transfer Adonis Thomas had six tackles and a sack, followed by Fred Garth Jr. with five stops and Willie McCaleb with five tackles, 3.0 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks.

Tywun Walters rushed for a career-high 147 yards and three touchdowns and No. 2 Northwest handled business at Mississippi Delta Thursday night, 38-7, to stay unbeaten on the season. Winners of eight straight overall, Northwest improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the division, while MDCC fell to 1-3 overall and 0-2 in the north. Both teams got off to a sluggish start, with Drake McCarter’s 34-yard field goal at the 6:08-mark the lone points of the first quarter. Walters’ first of three rushing touchdowns of the night, a 3-yard score to start the second quarter, helped the Ranger offense rattle off 21 second quarter points to take a commanding 24-0 lead at the half. Northwest scored on three of four possessions in the quarter, the second touchdown coming on a 13-play, 87-yard drive, capped by an 8-yard Walters run, and the third an 8-yard touchdown strike from Clay Holgorsen to Darius Thomas. MDCC would capitalize off a sack and fumble at the Rangers’ 7-yard line on the third play of the second half to pull within 24-7, the Trojans’ first touchdown of the season in four games. Jaybril Haymon rushed in from 5 yards out on 2nd-and-goal thanks to the turnover in the red zone. The Trojans looked poised to cut the lead to two scores on their next possession, with Austin Guy breaking free for a 64-yard gain down to the Rangers’ 35-yard line. But Guy was tracked down and stripped by Tito Windham, who never gave up on the play, and Wesley Bush recovered the fumble to keep MDCC from scoring. Two drives later, Northwest capitalized off a short field and needed just one play, a career-long 59-yard touchdown run from Walters, to make it 31-7. Turner Rotenberry’s first career interception helped setup the Rangers’ next score, with the freshman returning Guy’s pass to the MDCC 49-yard line. Three plays later, Cam Bowman hit Dee White for a 43-yard touchdown to make it 38-7 after three quarters. It marked the first career TD pass and first career TD reception for the freshman duo. Northwest held the ball for 11:10 in the fourth quarter with a heavy dose of Ben Hoffman, Benny Benson and Quarderman Sloan and took a knee at the MDCC 4-yard line as time expired. The Rangers outgained the Trojans 455-194 on the night, rushing for a season-high 295 yards. The Rangers’ defense allowed just the lone touchdown in the third quarter and finished with nine tackles-for-loss, two sacks and two interceptions.
ABOUT
Whatever was said at halftime resonated loud and clear in the second half for the Rangers. Northwest responded from a 7-6 halftime deficit with 21 unanswered points to knock off No. 10 Itawamba 27-13 in a battle of NJCAA Top 10 teams at Bobby Franklin Field. The Rangers won their seventh straight game overall and ninth consecutive at home to improve to 3-0 and 1-0 in the division, while ICC dropped to 2-1 and 0-1. It was also Northwest’s eighth win over the Indians in the last nine meetings. Two Drake McCarter field goals was all Northwest could manage in the opening 30 minutes, with Dan Ellington’s 6-yard touchdown run for the Indians giving them a 7-6 lead at the break. The second half was an entirely different story, with Northwest’s capacity crowd coming to life. Northwest took its opening drive of the third quarter 75 yards on just four plays, capped by Quarderman Sloan’s 16-yard touchdown run. Clay Holgorsen was 3-for-3 for 59 yards on the drive, highlighted by a 50-yard completion to Jerrick Orr. After forcing Itawamba to punt two drives later, Northwest capitalized off a short field and punched it in on Holgorsen’s 27-yard TD strike to Alex Norwood to extend the lead to two scores. The Rangers’ very next drive also resulted in a touchdown, with KyKy Austin catching a 12-yard pass from Holgorsen to cap a 6-play, 60-yard drive and give Northwest a 27-7 lead with 13 minutes to play. ICC closed out the scoring with 5:01 to play when Peyton Bender found Dorian Gaston for an 8-yard touchdown. After struggling the first half with 13 incompletions, Holgorsen was superb in the second half for Northwest. The Memphis transfer was 13-for-14 for 163 yards and two touchdowns. He finished 23-for-37 for 263 yards and the two scores, connecting with 10 different receivers. Darius Thomas had a career night, hauling in seven receptions for 80 yards. Marquisian Chapman added five grabs for 31 yards, while Norwood and Austin hauled in both Holgorsen touchdown passes of 27 and 12 yards. Sloan scored for the third time in three games and finished with 50 yards on 13 carries, while Tywun Walters added 67 yards on the ground. Northwest’s defense showed out in a big way again, closing the night with 12 tackles-for-loss, 11 breakups, eight quarterback hurries and four sacks. They have not allowed a point in the third quarter all season, outscoring opponents 42-0.

#15 HOLMES #2 NORTHWEST
Northwest held the nation’s top-ranked rushing offense to 136 yards on 48 carries and built a three touchdown lead after three quarters to cruise to a 27-12 Homecoming win over Holmes. Northwest improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the division and remained the lone unbeaten team in the MACJC. The Rangers won their ninth straight game overall and 10th in a row at home dating back to last season’s national championship run. After holding Holmes on four consecutive drives to start the game, Drake McCarter’s career-long 47-yard field goal and Clay Holgorsen’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Marquisian Chapman gave Northwest a 10-0 lead after a quarter of play. Holmes (4-1, 2-1) pulled within 10-6 on Dejerric Bryant’s 55-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Montgomery, with Montgomery breaking away from two tackles and taking it the distance. Caleb Shelly’s point after attempt was no good. Northwest responded two drives later with a touchdown of its own, driving 73 yards on only four plays to take a 17-6 lead. Backup quarterback Cam Bowman was 3-for-3 on the drive for 69 of the 73 yards, connecting with Chapman for a 34-yard score, his second of the night. A.J. Smith picked off Bryant for his first career interception minutes later, snatching the ball out of a receiver’s hands before he had full control and taking it down to the Holmes 29-yard line. Four plays later, Holgorsen found Cleo Floyd for a 1-yard touchdown, the first of Floyd’s career, to extend the Northwest lead to 24-6 at the half. McCarter’s 44-yard field goal on the Rangers’ opening drive of the third quarter extended the lead to 27-6 after three quarters. Holmes’ second best drive of the night, a 7-play, 67-yard drive to start the fourth quarter, pulled the Bulldogs within 27-12. Treviante McDaniel scored from three yards out, with the ensuing two-point conversion no good. Northwest was able to waste away the clock for 12:12 in the quarter and ended the night in fine fashion with Quondarius Qualls’ sack of Bryant for a 20-yard loss as time expired. Holgorsen finished 8-for-18 for 84 yards and two scores, while Bowman was 5-for-8 for 87 yards and a touchdown. Chapman had six catches for 110 yards and two scores. Tywun Walters rushed for 147 yards on 28 carries for a second straight outing, while Quarderman Sloan added 11 carries for 66 yards. Holmes entered with the nation’s top rushing offense at 340.8 yards per game but managed just 136 on 48 carries for an average of 2.8 yards. Holmes Northwest 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

Northwest built a three touchdown lead at the half and put the game out of reach with Ahmad Alexander’s 13-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the third quarter to shutout Coahoma 34-0 on Homecoming Saturday afternoon. Northwest improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the division, extending its winning streak to 10 games dating back to last season. Coahoma fell to 0-6 and 0-3 in the north. After coming up empty on their first possession with a 27-yard missed field goal, KyKy Austin’s 12-yard touchdown reception from Clay Holgorsen gave the Rangers a 6-0 lead after one quarter. Tywun Walters’ first of two rushing touchdowns on the day, a 2-yard score to cap a 9-play, 78-yard drive, extended Northwest’s lead to 13-0, and Quarderman Sloan’s 8-yard touchdown run with 1:41 remaining in the half made it 20-0 Rangers at the break. It was a dominating first 30 minutes for the Northwest defense, allowing only 86 total yards – 61 coming on the Tigers’ final drive of the second quarter. The unit added 8.0 tackles-for-loss, six breakups and three sacks in the half. Northwest’s second drive of the third quarter resulted in another Ranger touchdown. After taking over at the Coahoma 49-yard line, a heavy dose of Walters and Sloan capped a 10-play drive that ended on a 3-yard Walters touchdown run. Less than 2 minutes later, on 4th-and-9 at the Tigers’ own 26-yard line, Coahoma punter Ridge Simmerman held the ball too long and was hit by Leon Cunningham III and fumbled. Alexander alertly scooped and scored from 13 yards out to extend the Northwest lead to 34-0. That would be the final score of the afternoon, as Northwest would salt away the final 18 minutes to stay unbeaten. The Rangers missed a point after attempt and three field goals on the day and fumbled into the end zone for a touchback, leaving another 17 points on the field. Northwest had a balanced offensive attack, rushing for 190 yards and throwing for 168, while holding the Tigers to 175 total yards. Walters rushed for 131 yards and two scores, his third straight 100-yard rushing game, while Sloan added 52 yards on the ground and a score. Holgorsen threw for 155 yards and a score, hitting Austin a team-high seven times for 69 yards. Fred Garth Jr. led all Rangers with eight tackles, followed by Mike McGhee with seven and Adonis Thomas and Hal Northern with six. Wesley Bush and Turner Rotenberry had an interception apiece, giving the Rangers nine on the season.

Northwest led 20-0 after three quarters but had to hold off two late touchdown drives from East Central in a 20-14 victory at Bobby Franklin Field. Northwest extended its home winning streak to 11 games and improved to 7-1 overall, while East Central dropped to 4-4. After coming up empty on its first two drives of the night on a missed 40-yard field goal and turnover on downs, Northwest struck first with just over a minute left in the first quarter. A 10-yard touchdown pass from Cam Bowman to Jerrick Orr was setup by a 26-yard completion to Dee White a play earlier to give the Rangers a 6-0 lead. The ensuing PAT was no good. After forcing East Central into consecutive punts, Northwest found the end zone on back-to-back scoring drives to quickly extend its lead to 20-0 with 2:43 left in the first half. Tywun Walters carried it on seven straight plays, ending with a 1-yard touchdown run, and Quarderman Sloan found the end zone on 3rd-and-10 from 14 yards out after fighting through a crowd of Warrior defenders finding pay dirt. Wesley Bush intercepted Dom Marino on the Warriors’ final drive of the first half, his teamleading third pick of the season, and the Rangers led 20-0 at the break. Northwest continued its dominance in the third quarter in eight games this season, not allowing a point, and took a 20-0 lead after three quarters. Held under 200 yards up until the fourth quarter, ECCC found new life with consecutive 10-play, 80-yard touchdown drives. Marino hit Devonta Jones for touchdown passes of two and eight yards to make it 20-14. The Warriors needed 11 tries on their first touchdown drive to score from the Rangers’ 4-yard line and benefited from three Northwest penalties before finally punching it in. Attempting to put the game away with an insurance score, Northwest turned it over on downs on 4th-and-5 at the Warrior 31-yard line to give possession back to ECCC with 2:58 left and a chance to win the game. Mike McGhee forced a fumble, recovered by Keithen Hargro, but once again Northwest was unable to run out the clock. Marino’s pass was broken up by Hal Northern on ECCC’s final shot on 4th-and-17 from its own 13-yard line to seal the win. Making his first collegiate start, Bowman finished 14-for-24 for 211 yards and a touchdown, hitting six different receivers, including Orr a team-high four times for 60 yards and a score. Sloan and Walters each had touchdowns on the ground.

Top-ranked Northwest saw its 10-game winning streak snapped at the hands of fourth-ranked East Mississippi, with the Lions taking advantage of three nullified Ranger touchdowns to win the NJCAA showdown 51-32 in front of a capacity crowd at Sullivan-Windham Field. Northwest spotted EMCC 17 points in the game’s first 18 minutes but the Rangers would come storming back with consecutive scoring drives to pull within a field goal. After being held to six total yards in the opening quarter, Northwest strung together back-toback scoring drives of 65 and 75 yards on touchdown passes to Alex Norwood and Dee White. EMCC would answer on its ensuing possession to extend their lead back to 24-14, driving 62 yards on eight plays, capped by De’Andre Johnson’s 40-yard TD pass, albeit a foot out-of-bounds. Northwest immediately responded with a big 83-yard throw and catch from Holgorsen to Jerrick Orr down to the EMCC 2-yard line, however, Orr should have been credited with the touchdown reception as he beat two EMCC defenders to the pylon. The missed call cost Northwest four additional points after the Rangers had to settle for a 20-yard field goal. Northwest trailed 24-17 at half despite two calls that should’ve given the Rangers a 21-17 lead. The tough breaks against the Rangers continued in the second half, with Marquisian Chapman whistled for a rare offensive pass interference call that erased a 52-yard game-tying touchdown. EMCC took advantage again and needed only four plays to travel 77 yards, capped by Johnson’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Damion Willis, to extend the Lions’ lead to 31-17 early in the third. Northwest’s lone turnover of the game, a sack-fumble at its own 31-yard line, led to a quick EMCC score. Jacquez Horsley muscled it in from three yards to extend the Lions’ lead to 37-25. With the Lions once again deep in Northwest territory leading 44-25 on their next possession at the Rangers’ 30-yard line, Johnson was hit hard by Quondarius Qualls and fumbled and Qualls scooped and scored untouched from 70 yards. However, officials ruled that Johnson’s helmet came off and the play was dead despite the fumble occuring seconds before. It marked a third touchdown for Northwest wiped off the board. Four plays later, Johnson hit Devin Ducksworth for a 7-yard score to cap 20 unanswered points. Northwest East Mississippi

#10 NORTHEAST #5 NORTHWEST
Northwest punched its ticket to the 2016 MACJC Football Playoffs with a convincing 48-6 victory over 10th-ranked Northeast in its home finale at Bobby Franklin Field. Adonis Thomas and Turner Rotenberry each returned interceptions for touchdowns, Quarderman Sloan rushed for 130 yards and Marquisian Chapman scored through the air and on the ground to clinch the Rangers’ third straight playoff appearance and 27th in the last 35 seasons. Northwest’s seventh-ranked scoring defense (14.9 ppg) allowed Northeast to cross midfield only twice all night, picked off a season-high four passes and allowed 142 total yards. Clinching the north’s No. 2 seed, Northwest (8-1, 5-1) will travel to the south’s No. 1 seed, East Central (5-4, 5-1), on Saturday, Nov. 5 for a 2 p.m. kickoff. Northwest led 24-0 at the half, highlighted by Thomas’ 56-yard interception return for a score in the game’s opening minutes, holding the Tigers to 45 yards on 36 plays. Northeast (6-3, 4-2) got on the board on its opening drive of the third quarter, traveling 60 yards on six plays, capped by Mason Cunningham’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Montgomery. The point after was blocked by Jalen Harvey. The Rangers responded with back-to-back scoring drives to extend their lead to 34-6 after three quarters on Drake McCarter’s 30-yard field goal and Chapman’s first career rushing touchdown. Cunningham’s first pass attempt of the fourth quarter was intercepted by Rotenberry and returned 49 yards for a score, his third pick of the year and team’s 15th, to make it 41-6. Northwest’s best scoring drive of the night came on its final possession, with the Rangers traveling 76 yards on 10 plays over 7:35. Sloan and Ben Hoffman combined for 72 rushing yards on the drive, capped by Clay Holgorsen’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Alex Norwood Jr. Holgorsen and Cam Bowman each had touchdown passes on the night. Chapman had a teamhigh four receptions for 22 yards and a score, moving into fifth in school history in receptions (87) and sixth in receiving yards (1,302). Walters added his ninth rushing touchdown of the year. Defensively, David Herrington had a team-high five tackles on a unit that finished with eight tackles-for-loss, two sacks and four interceptions. Northwest’s sophomore class played their final home game at Bobby Franklin Field, finishing 12-0, the first class to go undefeated at home since the 1991-92 national championship team.

Northwest needed all four quarters at Bailey Stadium in an MACJC Semifinal matchup against East Central, rallying from a two touchdown deficit at halftime with 21 unanswered points to knock off the Warriors 21-14 and advance to its second straight MACJC Championship game. East Central had early success in the running game, riding the legs of sophomore quarterback Dom Marino who rushed for 108 yards in the opening half. After a Northwest fumble in the red zone, the Warriors took a 7-0 lead with 3:42 left in the opening quarter on a Marino 7-yard quarterback keeper. ECCC used a short field to take a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter, driving 42 yards on four plays, capped by Marino’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gibson. Northwest was unable to get much going offensively and couldn’t stay on the field after going 0-for-5 on third down and 0-for-3 on fourth down. A fake field goal attempt on the Rangers’ final drive of the quarter from the ECCC 34-yard line was unsuccessful and Northwest trailed 14-0 at half. It was a tale of two halves, with Northwest’s offense gaining momentum and the defense constantly applying pressure on Marino the final 30 minutes. Northwest punched it in the end zone on consecutive drives to start the second half to pull within 14-12. Clay Holgorsen hit Marquisian Chapman for an 11-yard touchdown to cap a 14-play, 74-yard drive and Tywun Walters found paydirt from four yards out. A missed PAT and failed two-point attempt kept it a one possession game, 14-12, after three quarters. After consecutive touchdown drives in the third, Northwest found back-to-back drives that resulted in Drake McCarter field goals to start the fourth quarter. McCarter made good on his attempts from 35 and 28 yards to give the Rangers their first lead of the game with 14:28 to play. ECCC had no answer for the Ranger defense, with Northwest holding the Warriors to six consecutive three-and-outs in the second half. Leading 21-14 with a little over four minutes remaining, Wesley Bush’s acrobatic interception on a double quarterback pass, his team-leading fourth of the year, put the game on ice for Northwest. The Rangers ran out the final 3:58 on the clock, taking it down to the ECCC 3-yard line before going into the victory formation. Outgained by 40 yards in the opening half, Northwest stymied ECCC in the second. The Rangers outgained the Warriors 296-8 the final 30 minutes and didn’t allow a first down.

Northwest held one of the nation’s top offenses to 367 total yards and its second-lowest point total of the season but it wasn’t enough as Trinity Valley outlasted the Rangers 34-24 in the 2016 Heart of Texas Bowl on ESPN3. Northwest spotted TVCC 10 points on consecutive special teams blunders within the first three minutes of the game as the Rangers looked out of sorts. Drake McCarter’s punt was blocked by Jaylen Brown at the 4-yard line and recovered in the end zone for a touchdown before his ensuing punt traveled only seven yards after hitting a Northwest player. That led to a Caden Novikoff 44-yard field goal and 10-0 Cardinal lead. After three straight three-and-outs to start the game, Northwest’s offense got going with a lengthy 14-play, 93-yard drive that spanned nearly seven minutes. Tywun Walters punched it in for a 1-yard touchdown with 2:03 to play in the first quarter to make it a 10-7 game. Northwest rallied to tie the game at 10-10 with 2:14 to play in the second quarter on McCarter’s 39-yard field goal, a scoring drive setup by Wesley Bush’s forced fumble. Having only allowed 83 total yards in the first half to TVCC, the turning point of the game came on the Cardinals’ final drive of the opening half. TVCC started from its own 35-yard line, after a kickoff out-of-bounds, and the Cardinals proceeded to drive 65 yards on 11 plays in 2:03 to retake the lead 17-10. Northwest held TVCC to a three-and-out to start the second half but the Cardinals scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions and quickly stretched their lead to 31-10. Walters and Quarderman Sloan combined for 52 of the Rangers’ 55-yard scoring drive on the ground to start the fourth quarter, capped by Walters’ 1-yard TD, to pull Northwest within 31-17. One play later, a bad snap on TVCC’s next possession was recovered by Mike McGhee and returned down to the Cardinals’ 11-yard line. Bowman then hit Jerrick Orr on the very next play for an 11-yard touchdown strike to give Northwest new life with two touchdowns in 17 seconds. Trailing 31-24 with 4:02 to play, Northwest moved the ball 19 yards to its own 40-yard line before three straight incompletions forced a turnover on downs. Bowman’s 40-yard heave to a streaking KyKy Austin on fourth-and-7 came up inches short. Novikoff was able to ice the game for TVCC with a 24-yard field goal with 13 ticks left, making the final 34-24 Cardinals.

ABOUT
Northwest’s bid to defend its MACJC Championship fell just short at Sullivan-Windham Field, with the Rangers dropping a hard-fought 38-30 decision at East Mississippi. Northwest outgained EMCC 405-317, controlled the time of possession and sacked De’Andre Johnson six times, but two costly interceptions led to two Lion touchdowns, which proved to be the difference in the game. After Northwest won the coin toss and elected to go on defense first, EMCC took its opening drive of the game 63 yards on six plays, capped by Jacquez Horsley’s 8-yard touchdown run. Northwest responded with confidence on its first drive, covering 62 yards on eight plays and knotting the game at 7-7 on Clay Holgorsen’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Romeel Cochran. Wesley Bush’s team-leading fifth interception of the year setup Northwest for its second scoring drive minutes later. Four straight running plays, highlighted by Cole Rotenberry’s 34-yard gain, allowed Marquisian Chapman to give the Rangers a 13-7 lead with 6:57 left in the first quarter. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the touchdown allowed EMCC to start its next drive at their own 41-yard line and the Lions proceeded to drive 58 yards on five plays, capped by De’Andre Johnson’s 46-yard quarterback keeper, to go back in front 14-13. Three plays later it was the EMCC defense who made the momentum-shifting play, with Ryan Lee making a splendid one-handed interception of Holgorsen and taking it 30 yards for a score. Northwest answered again, this time with a lengthy 11-play drive, capped by Quarderman Sloan’s 2-yard touchdown run. After holding EMCC to a 24-yard Taylor Crabtree field goal, Northwest marched down the field for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:09 left in the first half. Cam Bowman entered for an injured Holgorsen and completed 3-of-4 passes for 54 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown pass to Cochran, his second of the night, to put the Rangers on top 27-24 at halftime. EMCC went back in front, 31-27, to open the third, benefiting from back-to-back pass interference calls that placed the ball at the Rangers’ 2-yard line. Backup quarterback Vijay Miller scored a play later from two yards out. A Bowman INT led to a 3-yard TD pass to make it 38-27 after three. Northwest strung together a lengthy 77-yard scoring drive to close out the fourth, but had to settle for a 30-yard Drake McCarter field goal to make the final 38-30. Northwest East Mississippi

Northwest Lands 13 on All-Conference Team JACKSON – Highlighted by eight first team members, Northwest had a conference-tying high 13 selections on the 2016 All-MACJC Football Team. A trio of freshmen in offensive lineman Damien Lewis, punter Drake McCarter and cornerback Kaleb Chalmers were named to the first team in addition to sophomore running back Tywun Walters, tight end Romeel Cochran, linebacker Tomarcio Reese, cornerback Tito Windham and defensive end Willie McCaleb. Second team selections went to freshman linebacker Adonis Thomas, along with sophomore defensive end Quondarius Qualls, center J.R. Burns and nose tackle Jalen Harvey. Lewis has started all 11 games at right guard and has helped pave the way for a pair of 900-yard rushers. He’s graded out at over 90 percent efficiency all season. The Canton High School product was also named the north’s offensive line MVP and to the NJCAA All-Region 23 Team. McCarter, a four-time MACJC Special Teams Player of the Week, is averaging 38.7 yards a punt with seven of 50-plus yards and a nation-leading 25 inside the 20-yard line. He was also named a Second Team All-MACJC kicker with a team-leading 82 points on 15 field goals and 37-of-42 point after attempts. A transfer from Clemson University, Chalmers has started in all 11 games in the secondary and has 26 tackles, 1.5 tackles-for-loss, a sack, interception and 12 pass breakups (T-7th NJCAA). Bouncing back from a knee injury a year ago, Walters has had a breakout season in the backfield. The South Alabama commit has rushed for 908 yards and 10 touchdowns, adding eight receptions for 59 yards. Cochran has 14 career receptions for 129 yards and three touchdowns and is the first tight end to garner first team recognition since Ole Miss signee Jamal Mosley back in 2010.
Reese, a transfer from Eastern Arizona College, has 51 tackles, 9.5 tacklesfor-loss, two forced fumbles, eight quarterback hurries and half a sack in 11 starts at nickel linebacker. Windham, now a two-time all-conference cornerback, has 31 tackles, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and 10 breakups (T-9th NJCAA) this season. He also earned NJCAA All-Region 23 honors. McCaleb has had a breakout sophomore campaign and was rewarded by being named first team all-conference, north defensive line MVP and NJCAA All-Region 23. McCaleb has 41 tackles, 16.5 tackles-for-loss and 10 sacks – both lead the team. Thomas, an Alabama transfer and one of the nation’s most coveted linebackers, is second on the team with 64 tackles to go along with 11 tackles-for-loss, 6.0 sacks, five hurries, a forced fumble and 56-yard interception for a touchdown against Northeast. Qualls will go down in Ranger football history as one of the most dominant hybrid linemen ever, with his 30 tackles-for-loss and 18.5 sacks ranking him in the top 10 in school history. Qualls has 46 tackles, 13.5 tackles-for-loss, 8.5 sacks, team-leading 19 quarterback hurries, an interception and three breakups. A preseason All-American by College Football Yearbook, Burns earned second team all-conference recognition this season. He has started in 20 career games at center, grading out as one of the top linemen on the team. Snubbed for all-conference honors a year ago, Harvey was rewarded this season. The WVU commit has 26 tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, a hurry and blocked kick for one of the top defensive line units in junior college football.

The last time Northwest won a bowl game, only five players on the 52-man roster had even been born. That all changed Dec. 1 as the Rangers piled up 508 yards of total offense and captured their first bowl victory in 20 years at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field. The game drew 4,138 fans. Domonique Harris (Offensive) and Jerome McClain (Defensive) earned MVP honors.

Kilgore 21, Northwest 20 • 1965 Shrine Bowl (Tyler, Texas)
W
Northwest 16, Ferrum 9 • 1982 Eastern Bowl (Ferrum, Va.)
HISTORY
The Northwest Ranger football team put the final touches on the school’s first-ever perfect season when they defeated Ferrum College on Dec. 5, 1982, to claim the Eastern Bowl Championship. After Ferrum scored with no time left to end the first half at 14-7 Rangers, the teams exchanged safeties in the fourth quarter when Bobby Gaston sacked the Panther quarterback and the Rangers deliberately gave up two points on a 4th-and-long situtation. As the clock ran out, Northwest closed the season with a 12-0-1 record.
T
Northwest 13, Ranger 13 • 1986 Roaring Ranger Bowl (Ranger, Texas)
L
Coffeyville 29, Northwest 21 • 1987 Jayhawk Bowl (Coffeyville, Kan.)
W
Northwest and Ranger (Texas) battled to a 13-13 tie to move the Rangers’ all-time bowl record to 1-1-1.
Northwest jumped out in front early 14-0, but then lost the edge right before halftime in a 29-21 loss to Coffeyville in the 1987 Jayhawk Bowl. Ricky Blake’s 29-yard touchdown run put the Rangers back in front 21-15 in the third, but the Red Ravens scored twice in the fourth, much to the liking of the home crowd of Coffeyville. “We never gave up and had a chance to win it right to the end,” head coach Bobby Franklin said.
Northwest 31, Kilgore 27 • 1989 Shrine Bowl (Tyler, Texas)
Led by running back Raymond Barksdale’s 122 yards rushing and two scores and a stellar defensive effort from linebacker Mike McClenton, who had 15 tackles and was named the Defensive MVP, Northwest became the second visiting team in Shrine Bowl history to register a win. “It was an outstanding year for us,” head coach Bobby Franklin said. “I think we proved ourselves one of the best JUCO teams in the nation. I’d say 12-1 isn’t too bad.”
L
NE Oklahoma A&M 49, Northwest 21 • 1991 Mid-America Bowl (Tulsa, Okla.)
W
Northwest 34, NE Oklahoma A&M 0 • 1992 Mid-America Bowl (Tulsa, Okla.)
L
Twenty-one fourth quarter points slammed the door on Northwest’s hopes for a second national title in school history, as the Golden Norsemen took down the Rangers, 49-21. NEO forced five Northwest turnovers and out-gained the Rangers 360-294 on the day. Sophomore linebacker Cassius Ware ended his brilliant career at Northwest with 19 tackles (13 solo) and 3.0 tackles-for-loss, but was snubbed by bowl officials for postgame honors.
In a rematch of the 1991 national title game, Northwest got its revenge from a four touchdown defeat by blanking the Golden Norsemen, 34-0. Northwest scored four times, including twice in the second half, and became just the second team all year to hold NEO under 27 points (Coffeyville). The Rangers claimed their second national title (1982) and recorded the first-ever shutout in Mid-America Bowl history.
Middle Georgia 41, Northwest 3 • 1998 Mineral Water Bowl (Excelsior Springs, Mo.)
After taking a 3-0 lead on Les Binkley’s 36-yard first quarter field goal, the Rangers day went downhill as they surrendered 41 straight points to Middle Georgia in a 41-3 loss. Northwest turned it over six times that led to 27 Warrior points and were limited to 188 total yards after averaging 437.0 ypg during the season.
W
Northwest 47, Kilgore 36 • 2012 Brazos Valley Bowl (College Station, Texas)

Northwest 66, Rochester 13 • 2015 Mississippi Bowl VIII (Biloxi, Miss.)

In Northwest’s first-ever bowl appearance in front of 6,000 spectators on Dec. 4, 1965, the Rangers led 20-8 midway through the 3rd quarter before a Johnny Johnson 88-yard kick return and short pass play from QB Terry Reisig to Richard Mooney in the 4th pushed Kilgore over the top for a 21-20 win. Disheartened after the loss, Northwest still had a football record unsurpassed by any in the state.
The last time Northwest won a bowl game, only five players on the 52-man roster had even been born. That all changed Dec. 1 as the Rangers piled up 508 yards of total offense and captured their first bowl victory in 20 years at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field. The game drew 4,138 fans. Domonique Harris (Offensive) and Jerome McClain (Defensive) earned MVP honors.
Winning the NJCAA Football Championship Game in dominant fashion, No. 1 Northwest Mississippi defeated No. 2 Rochester (Minn.) 66-13 in Mississippi Bowl VIII. The Rangers accumulated 680 yards offensively – 486 passing and 194 rushing – and were forced to punt just once in the game. Northwest conceded just 250 yards to the Yellowjackets – 100 of which came in the fourth quarter. The Rangers’ pass rush was in constant pursuit of Rochester All-American QB Nick Rooney who was sacked four times and hit an additional six.
Trinity Valley 34, Northwest 24 • 2016 Heart of Texas Bowl (Copperas Cove, Texas) Northwest held one of the nation’s top offenses to 367 total yards and its second-lowest point total of the season but it wasn’t enough as Trinity Valley outlasted the Rangers 34-24 in the Heart of Texas Bowl on ESPN3. Tywun Walters rushed for 92 yards and two scores and Quarderman Sloan added 74 as both players rushed for over 1,000 yards on the season, a first in program history. Fred Garth Jr., the HOT Defensive MVP, finished with a game-high 15 tackles, giving him a team-best 81 on the season.

*North Division Champions ^MACJC State Champions #NJCAA National Champions
Through the years, all great football programs have had at least one legendary coach. Notre Dame had hall of famer Knute Rockne, the University of Alabama had Paul “Bear” Bryant, and the Green Bay Packers had Vince Lombardi. Northwest Mississippi Community College’s answer to that elite trio of coaches was Bobby Ray Franklin. Franklin put Northwest on the map on a national level, leading the Ranger football program to NJCAA National Championships in 1982 and 1992. A six-time Region 23 Coach of the Year and five-time MACJC Coach of the Year selection, Franklin was head football coach at Northwest from the 1981 through the 2004 seasons. In those 24 years, he accounted for six state and region championships, 11 division titles and eight bowl game appearances. Franklin’s coaching record of 201-57-6 (.767) speaks for itself, and most impressive is the fact that he never had a losing season. Against north division opponents, he was 123-21-2 (.846). Franklin came to Northwest in 1979 and joined the football program as offensive coordinator under head coach Ray Poole. The Rangers posted a record of 9-1 in 1979 and 4-6 the ensuing season. Franklin took the reins as head coach in 1981 and was 6-3-1 in his initial campaign, then led Northwest to its first-ever NJCAA National Title with a 16-9 victory against Ferrum College in the 1982 East Bowl. That same season, the Rangers also claimed the state and region championships by posting a record of 12-0-1. Ten years later in 1992, Northwest again vied for the NJCAA National Championship by earning a berth in the Mid-America Bowl in Tulsa, Okla. The Rangers, who were beaten 49-21 in the national game in 1991 by Northeastern Oklahoma, began the 1992 campaign ranked No. 1 in the nation. Northwest then proceeded to tear through its regular season schedule and finished with a record of 12-0, including two wins in the state playoffs and the state championship game against Itawamba. The Rangers got their revenge and Franklin’s second national championship by shutting out Northeastern Oklahoma 34-0 in a winter storm which included heavy sleet and snow. Franklin’s coaching career began in 1967 as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech University. After one season with the YellowJackets, Franklin took a job as secondary coach with the Dallas Cowboys. While Franklin was in Dallas, the Cowboys were in the playoffs every year and in the Super Bowl in 1970 and 1971. He also coached the defensive backfield in the 1969 and 1970 Pro Bowl games. After leaving the Cowboys in 1972, he joined the Baltimore Colts’ staff under Howard Schnellingberger.
FRANKLIN’S PLAYING CAREER A former All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) quarterback for the Ole Miss Rebels, Franklin received Most Valuable Player honors in the 1958 Gator Bowl and 1960 Sugar Bowl and was also runner-up for MVP in the 1957 Sugar Bowl. He called the signals for the Ole Miss Team of the Decade in 1959. In addition to his college football fame, Franklin was a four-year varsity track man for Ole Miss. Franklin also played in the College All-Star Game at Soldier Field against the World Champion Baltimore Colts before he joined the pro ranks with the Cleveland Browns. For seven years, Franklin was a standout defensive back for the Browns and ranked second in the NFL in interceptions (nine) his rookie year -- three returned for touchdowns. He also ran three fake field goals for touchdowns as holder for legendary kicker Lou Groza.

Andre Rone
After his playing career, the Daytona Beach, Florida, native continues to use his knowledge and talents to teach and inspire student-athletes across the metro-Atlanta area. Rone has coached receivers and soccer players on the high school level, as well as several other sports at the recreational level. Rone remains active in the community, volunteering with many organizations, including Head Start, the March of Dimes and the Special Olympics. JACK ROBERSON JR., RODEO, 1976-78 Jack Roberson Jr. was born in Houston on Oct. 28, 1956, and you could say he's been riding nearly his whole life. He found a love for riding horses when he was only five and has thrived in it ever since. Roberson was introduced to the rodeo circuit when he was in junior high and excelled at it so much that he continued at the high school level. He joined the Grapeland High School rodeo team for the 1975 rodeo finals in Gallup, New Mexico, where he participated in bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding. He attended Northwest Mississippi Junior College in 1977-78, and because of his riding as part of its rodeo team, was rewarded with a scholarship from the U.S. Tobacco Company. Roberson was named all-around champion in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, finishing first in bareback riding and second in bull riding that year. Roberson continued his career in the Professional ACA (now PCA) and won the finals in 1981, receiving numerous trophy buckles along the way until retiring from the circuit in 1984.

MARC DUKES, MEN'S BASKETBALL COACH, 1993-98 Before coming to Northwest in 1993, Marc Dukes had been coaching for 13 years in the high school ranks, 11 of which were in Mississippi. Four of his teams were ranked in the top 10 in the state, with his 1985 team winning 36 games and finishing as State Class AAAA runner-up for one of his two state tournament appearances. He twice received Coach of the Year honors and was WDAM-TV Coach of the Year in 1985. Dukes was named head coach at Jones County Junior College in 1986, and in five seasons, he was 87-53 overall. He led the Bobcats to five consecutive winning seasons – a first in program history – and his 1990-91 team set a school record for wins with 21. After two years at Pineville High School in Kentucky, coach Dukes accepted the head coaching position for the Northwest men's basketball program. In five seasons at the helm, his teams compiled a record 129-31, advanced to two NJCAA national tournaments, won two Region 23 titles, two MACJC State Championships and three consecutive MACJC North Division crowns. In 1995-96, he guided the Rangers to a school-record 30 wins and the program's first appearance at the NJCAA National Tournament since 1980. That team finished sixth in the 16-team tournament field. Two years later, the Rangers finished 29-7 and made the school's only trip to the NJCAA Final Four during the 1997-98 season. Dukes was named Region 23 Coach of the Year in 1996 and 1998 and MACJC Coach of the Year in 1994, 1996 and 1997. Four of his players were also named NJCAA All-Americans during his tenure. Dukes took an assistant position at Ole Miss in 1998 and was a part of Rebel teams that made three trips to the NCAA Tournament, including the program's only trip to the Sweet 16. During the last two seasons, he has served as head coach of the boys' basketball program at Magnolia Heights School. In both seasons, his Chiefs have won the Class AAA Division II State Championship with a combined record of 60-15.

NIKITA TAYLOR, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL, 2003-05 Nikita Taylor is one of the most decorated players in Northwest women's basketball history, still ranking in the Top 10 all-time in 12
different statistical categories. The Indianola native moved to Holly Springs in seventh grade, running track and playing basketball at Holly Springs High School. A year later, Taylor was asked to join the high school team as an eighth grader. A young, energetic kid with a big heart, Taylor had to learn the rules of the game under the leadership of coach James Robinson, Maxine Tucker and the patience of her mother, Barbara. At 14 years old, Taylor was the starting point guard on the high school team and went on to serve as team captain as a sophomore, gaining the respect of her peers and upperclassmen. She enrolled at Northwest in the fall of 2003 and made an immediate impact. The Lady Rangers were 36-21 overall and 17-7 in the division during the 2003-05 seasons, winning the NJCAA Region 23 Championship and advancing to the NJCAA Sweet 16 her sophomore year. A 2005 NJCAA Third Team All-American and two-time First Team All-MACJC selection, Taylor is the second-leading scorer in school history, scoring 1,027 points and averaging 21.9 ppg in two seasons. She went on to sign with Union University and later tried out for the WNBA's Tulsa Shock in 2008.

He averaged 17.4 points per game over those two seasons, while also averaging 10.3 rebounds per game and 2.8 steals per game. Today, Young still ranks within the top 10 of several stat categories, including second all-time in total rebounds (637) and free throws made (271). Young was a member of the 1995-96 Northwest basketball team that advanced to the NJCAA National Tournament, where the Rangers finished sixth overall. Young was named team MVP as a sophomore and was also a two-time all-state selection, an NJCAA All-American and an NJCAA All-Tournament Team nod. After Northwest, Young spent two seasons at UNC-Charlotte, where he helped the 49ers to two NCAA Tournament appearances in 1998 and 1999. During his senior season, Young led the C-USA champions in scoring, rebounding and steals, averaging 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. He still ranks within the top 15 of several stat categories and is tied for first all-time in double-figure scoring games with 32. Young capped off his senior season by being named First Team All-Conference USA. Young was taken in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. After a brief stint in Milwaukee, Young joined the Grand Rapids Hoops of the Continental Basketball Association, where he was named to the CBA All-Rookie Team in 2000. After playing one season in Japan, Young returned to the CBA with the North Charleston Lowgators. He would bounce in and out of the CBA until 2007, being named a two-time league all-star selection and the CBA Player of the Year in 2007 after helping the Yakima Sun Kings to the league championship. Young continued to play with various semi-pro teams in nine different countries until his retirement in 2012. He returned to UNC-Charlotte to finish his degree in criminal justice and graduated in 2014.
