2016 PREVIEW

Dr. Gary Lee Spears accepts the 2015 NJCAA national championship trophy with head coach Jack Wright after the top-ranked Rangers defeated No. 2 Rochester 66-13 to claim the college’s third national title in program history.

2015 REVIEW

Dr. Gary Lee Spears is in his 12th academic year as president of Northwest Mississippi Community College. While he is proud of all the accomplishments the college has achieved during his tenure as president, he is particularly proud of the Building on Tradition campaign in which he has played a major role. Students and visitors to the main campus in Senatobia can see evidence of the college’s ongoing building campaign with the recent completions of Tate Hall, McLendon Student Union, Division of Nursing Building and Ranger Outdoor Complex, the ongoing construction of the Mechanical Technology Building and the renovation of Tech I and II and Jim Miles Field. You can’t spend more than a few minutes with Dr. Spears before you see that his love of the college runs deep. In 2007, Dr. Spears was named Alumnus of the Year by the Northwest Alumni Association and recognized during Homecoming festivities. The Northwest Foundation Board of Directors, his wife, Marilyn, and friends of the college created the Dr. Gary Lee Spears Endowed Scholarship in May 2011 for his lifelong dedication to education and the college. Dr. Spears was named 2014 Alumnus of the Year for the School of Education at the University of Mississippi and has recently been selected as chair of the Mississippi Corridor Consortium. In May 2010 the Spears family joined the college in celebrating the dedication of the Marilyn R. Spears Building for the Early Childhood Education Technology program, named for Northwest First Lady Marilyn Spears, a Northwest graduate who retired from the college in the spring of 2005 after 25 years as an instructor in that program. Prior to being named president July 1, 2005, Dr. Spears served as registrar and director of Admissions and Records for 25 years. A native of Eudora in DeSoto County, he has held positions at the college including instructor, vocational counselor, assistant to the DeSoto Center director and vice president for Student Affairs. Dr. Spears earned an Associate of Applied Science and an Associate of Education from Northwest. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in social science and a master’s degree in counseling from Delta State University. In 1991, Dr. Spears earned a doctorate in educational leadership at The University of Mississippi, where he has taught courses in higher education as an adjunct instructor. His profound love for Northwest inspired him to write a history of the college for his doctoral dissertation. He began his career in education at Leland Consolidated School District, where he taught American history while working on his master’s degree. Dr. Spears is a past president of the Senatobia Rotary Club, where he was honored as a prestigious Paul Harris Fellow, and has been a board member of the Tate County Economic Development Foundation. Dr. and Mrs. Spears have two adult sons, Jared and Daniel, who are also Northwest graduates. Jared graduated from Delta State and earned a Master of Fine

Arts terminal degree at The University of Mississippi. A member of the UM faculty, Jared is a musician and sculptor outside of the university. He and his wife, Brooke, reside in Taylor, Mississippi. Daniel also completed a bachelor’s degree from Ole Miss. He is a teacher with the North Mississippi Regional Center and a musician. He and his wife, Julie, an architect with Julie Spears Architecture, live in Oxford and have two sons and one daughter—Jack, Samuel and Phoebe Joy. The Spears family has lived in Tate County for 41 years and are active members of the First Baptist Church in Senatobia. They moved into the college’s President’s Home on the Senatobia campus in March of 2009.

ABOUT

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! In Senatobia, you will find a superb quality of life with excellent public and private schools from kindergarten through the community college level; easy access to universities and continuing education; inviting, well-kept neighborhoods and affordable homes; retail shopping; recreation for the whole family; and good, solid hometown values. The quality of life in Senatobia is one of the best, complemented by a cost of living that is among the best in the nation. Senatobia is home to the main campus of Northwest Mississippi Community College and to two excellent K-12 school systems: Senatobia Public Schools and Magnolia Heights School. 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. With many residential areas under construction, Senatobia continues to grow at a sustainable pace. It is a great place to own a home, raise a family, and be a part of a caring community. Come and see for yourself. 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.

2015

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 2016 PREVIEW

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 a parking lot immediately behind the north end zone that has more than enough parking for both fanbases, team buses and more.

ABOUT

Prepared to Defend. Ready to Repeat in 2016. Northwest entered the 2015 season with heightened expectations coming off a playoff appearance and returning an All-American at running back, a veteran offensive line and 10 starters overall. But no one could have predicted the Rangers would run the table in the postseason and win their first conference championship since 1999 and first national title since 1992. Northwest opened the season ranked 16th by the NJCAA, its sixth preseason ranking in the last nine years, and made the climb all the way to No. 1 on November 3, 2015, for the first time since 2000. The Rangers started off a perfect 7-0, and after their lone setback at EMCC, finished with four straight victories to end the year 11-1 with a program-record six wins over nationally-ranked opponents. The Rangers outscored their final four opponents 178-71, highlighted by a bowl record 66-13 win over 2nd-ranked Rochester. Northwest ended the year ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 23 different statistical categories, showing their balanced attack on both offense and defense. Northwest had the nation’s fourth-best offense and also held seven of its 12 opponents under 20 points. Justin Crawford was named the NJCAA’s Offensive Player of the Year, while Jack Wright was named the NJCAA, MACJC/Region 23 and MAC Coach of the Year. Quarterback Gardner Minshew and linebacker Malik Hawkins, both Division I signees, were named NJCAA All-Americans. Northwest has had at least one player make an all-american team in an unprecedented 29 of the last 31 seasons. Eleven players were named to the all-conference team, led by an MACJC-best nine first team selections. Two months after leading the Rangers to their third NJCAA National Championship in program history, head coach Jack Wright resigned his position at Northwest to accept a position as the offensive line coach at the University of Southern Mississippi. Wright inherited a 1-8 team on three years probation in 2013 and quickly put the Rangers back on the map. Down a total of 10 scholarship players to the rest of the MACJC, Wright and his staff put together one of the most memorable seasons in 2015. Bruce native Benjy Parker, who spent the past two seasons as the defensive coordinator, will be a first-year head coach for the Rangers in 2016, Northwest’s fourth different head coach in the past five seasons. Parker’s experience at the Division I level at Troy University and previous playing and coaching experience around the MACJC made Parker a very strong candidate to replace Wright. He’s been a part of three national championship programs at the junior college level at Jones County, Butler and Northwest and has played postseason ball in 12 of his 18 seasons as a coach. Northwest will have to replace 17 starters (9 offense, 8 defense) this season but still have solid experience on defense and a few skill players on offense. The Rangers also brought in several Division I transfers from the likes of Clemson, Alabama and Memphis to help fill some of those voids. NORTHWEST OFFENSE Returning Starters: 2 Offensively, the Rangers are hoping Memphis transfer quarterback Clay Holgorsen, backup to first-round NFL draft choice Paxton Lynch a year ago, can manage the offense run by first-year offensive coordinator Stan Hill who came over from Oxford High School. Hill grew up in a very athletic family, the son of legendary high school coach Johnny Hill and the youngest of four brothers who were also all-star athletes. An Oxford native with Tupelo roots, Hill’s offensive scheme is a run-and-gun, passfriendly approach. 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 three quarterbacks that have played for Hill, Jack Abraham (Louisiana Tech), 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. There should be a nice quarterback competition in fall camp between Holgorsen and freshman Cam Bowman, both former Memphis commits, but expect Holgorsen to be under center for the opener at Hinds. Look for sophomore wideouts Marquisian Chapman, the MACJC’s thirdleading receiver last year, and Alex Norwood Jr. to have breakout seasons and tight end Romeel Cochran to be a big part of the Rangers’ offensive scheme. Chapman’s high school teammate, Jamario Dixon, along with 3-star prospect Jerrick Orr are also players to keep an eye on. The biggest question mark is at running back after Crawford’s departure to West Virginia. Tywun Walters, who missed the last seven games due to injury, Quarderman Sloan and Ben Hoffman should all split time in the backfield. Sloan rushed for 2,265 yards and 28 touchdowns as a senior at Charles Drew High School (Ga.), averaging an eye-popping 11.0 yards-per-carry en route to being named the Southern Crescent and The Clayton News Offensive Player of the Year. Hoffman was a first team all-district running back and all-state honorable mention at Lewisburg, rushing for 1,533 yards and 16 touchdowns. In the trenches, preseason all-american center J.R. Burns is the lone returning starter. Terrance Malone (Arkansas), Jermaine Jones (SELU), Chris Phillips (SELU) and Anderson Gund (MVSU) all signed with Division I programs in the offseason and Kenyana Heard transferred. Sophomores Chase Johnson and Jordan Sanders both return, however, and should provide valuable leadership to six freshmen vying for starting spots. Damien Lewis (Canton), Kendall Terry (DeSoto Central) and Tyler Walker (Northwest Rankin) have all looked solid in the preseason.

Garth led all defensive backs and was third on the team with 52 tackles, five breakups, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick as a freshman in 2014. Bush and McCollin are two of the more underrated guys in the secondary and saw action in all 12 games a year ago. NORTHWEST SPECIAL TEAMS Returning Starters: 0 Two-time All-MACJC kicker/punter Jim Speights, now at Southeastern Louisiana, left Northwest with single-season (17) and career records (24) in field goals made and as one of the school’s all-time leading punters. Freshman Drake McCarter from Saltillo, a three-time first team, All-Region 1-5A selection, will handle both kicking and punting duties for the Rangers in 2016. Jack Creely will handle long snapping duties.

ABOUT

NORTHWEST DEFENSE Returning Starters: 3 The Rangers return just two starters on offense but should have one of the premier defenses in the MACJC with four future Division I players up front, led by hybrid Quondarius Qualls and nose tackle Jalen Harvey, and an experienced secondary, led by second team all-MACJC performer Tito Windham. Qualls was named a Sporting News Super Sophomore and has already received four Division I offers in addition to interest from Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi State and others. The Farmerville, La., native had a team-leading 16.5 tackles-forloss and 10 sacks a year ago. Harvey, who started all 12 games at tackle, finished with 40 tackles, 7.0 tackles-for-loss, 3.5 sacks and a pair of blocked kicks. He was snubbed for All-MACJC recognition which should be a major motivation this season. Sophomores Anthony Gund, Matt Davis and Willie McCaleb, as well as freshmen Hal Northern and Keith Brown will see plenty of reps in the trenches. Northern is the sleeper of the group who should get better as he takes more live in-game college reps. Northern prepped at Rosa Fort, finishing with 79 tackles as a senior. He’s a three-time first team all-state and all-district selection and was selected to play in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game. At the linebacker position, Tomarcio Reese, David Herrington, A.J. Smith, Mike McGhee and Adonis Thomas have seen a bulk of snaps with the first team this summer. All three starters from last year’s championship team, Malik Hawkins, Alfred Dickens and Devantae Davis, have moved on to four-year schools. That trio accounted for 228 tackles, 26 tackles-for-loss and eight sacks a year ago. Thomas, an Under Armour All-American and 4-star prospect, transferred in from the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide. He was rated as the No. 11 outside linebacker and No. 175 prospect nationally out of Central Gwinnett (Ga.) High School, finishing with 124 tackles, 11 tackles-for-loss and 5.0 sacks his senior year. Thomas turned down offers from Florida, Notre Dame, LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia, Ohio State and several dozen other major programs. Reese is an Eastern Arizona College transfer, finishing second on the team with 68 tackles and four sacks a year ago, and McGhee is a North Alabama transfer who played in all 12 games and helped the Lions to a Gulf South Conference Co-Championship and second round playoff appearance last season. In the secondary, guys like Windham, Wesley Bush, Kaleb Chalmers, K.T. McCollin and Fred Garth Jr. bring a wealth of experience to Benjy Parker’s defense. They should be the anchor for a defense who held nine of 12 opponents to three touchdowns or less last season. Windham is the nation’s fifth-ranked junior college corner back and a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports composite. Teams usually stay away from Windham’s side, which is why his freshman year numbers don’t stand out. His 10 breakups, however, ranked ninth in the NJCAA last season. Chalmers, also a 3-star prospect, transferred in from Clemson, the ACC and Orange Bowl Champions. Chalmers was a three-time all-state performer at Green-

Benjy Parker, the Rangers’ defensive coordinator the past two seasons, was promoted to head football coach on Feb. 17, 2016. He is the 30th head coach in program history and fourth in five seasons for the defending national champions. Like his predecessor, Parker will be a first-time head coach, but his experience at the Division I level and previous playing and coaching experience around the MACJC made Parker a very strong candidate to replace Jack Wright. “I want to thank Dr. Spears and the administration at Northwest for giving me the opportunity to be its next head football coach,” Parker said. “Northwest is a great environment to work in with great people. Me and my family have enjoyed our two years here and we’re excited to stay Rangers. I’m very fortunate to have this opportunity and am looking forward to getting to work.” In his first two seasons with the Rangers as defensive coordinator, Parker has coached 10 all-conference players, three all-region players and a pair of NJCAA All-Americans. Thirteen of his guys have also signed with four-year programs in the past two seasons. The Ranger defense has tallied 179 tackles-for-loss, 56 sacks and 24 interceptions in his two seasons as defensive coordinator and made a big step forward last season in scoring defense. The Rangers held seven of their 12 opponents to 20 points or less, including the nation’s 2nd-ranked team, Rochester, to 13 points in the national championship game. 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 College (2000). Parker is married to the former Emily Moore of Calhoun County and the couple has one daughter, Mary Hasting (7).

2015 REVIEW

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 (7), Tate (5) and Reed (2).

COACHING STAFF

Stan Hill, who helped lead Oxford High School to three consecutive 5A title games as its offensive coordinator, has been hired to run Northwest’s offense in 2016. 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. An Oxford native with Tupelo roots, Hill’s offensive scheme is a run-and-gun, pass-friendly approach. 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 three quarterbacks that have played for Hill, Jack Abraham (Louisiana Tech), Parker Adamson (Southern Mississippi) and Guy Billups (Rice), have 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. 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 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.

Eight-year MACJC coaching veteran Travis Macon enters his third season commanding the defensive line at Northwest in 2016. Behind Second Team All-MACJC selection Kendall Carr, who signed with Southeast Missouri State, the Rangers’ defensive line registered 9.5 sacks, 28 quarterback hurries and 40 tackles-for-loss last season. The 40 TFL are nearly double what the defensive line registered in the year prior to Macon’s arrival. 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 NEMCC 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 (10), Brian (8) and Ambrielle (6).

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 10th 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. The couple is expecting their first child in February.

COACHING STAFF

A familiar face around the city of Senatobia and the longest tenured coach on staff, Scott Oakley begins his 13th season as a member of the Northwest football family leading the wide receiver unit. Under his tutelage, a total of 14 receivers/tight ends have gone on to collect all-conference honors, including eight 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 signees Lance Ray (East Carolina), Myles White (Louisiana Tech/N.Y. Giants) and Jamal Mosley (Ole Miss). Marcus Henry also played one season for the Rangers in 2011 and had 46 catches for 745 yards and nine TDs before moving on to Middle Tennessee State. As a unit, the Rangers’ receiving corps has flourished since his return, hauling in 160 or more passes for over 2,000 yards in six of the last eight seasons. Northwest’s 237 receptions last season ranks second in a single-season, while the 3,488 yards is fourth-most in a single-season. Northwest boasted three of the MACJC’s top 10 receivers en route to a conference and national championship last season. Jacob McCrary’s 886 yards receiving led the state, while Marquisian Chapman’s 50 catches for 721 yards ranked third and Ryan Golden’s 488 yards in only five games ranked 10th. Oakley’s 2011 unit racked up 2,633 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns, which both rank seventh in a single-season. The 2008 season saw the unit catch 208 passes, fourth in single-season history. 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.

Jim Jones enters his sixth 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 four of Jones’ five seasons, including ninth in the nation last season and 12th in 2010. The Rangers have boasted the MACJC’s leading rusher in each of the last two seasons in WVU signee and 2015 NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year Justin Crawford. 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 All-American Donald Hawkins, now with the Carolina Panthers, 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 14 players continue their careers at the four-year level, including eight at the FBS or FCS level. Hawkins (Texas), Douglas (Northwestern State), Terry Johnson (Louisiana-Lafayette), Terrance Malone (Arkansas), Chris Phillips (Southeastern Louisiana) and Jermaine Jones (Southeastern Louisiana) 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 NFL for six seasons, spending time with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and world champion Pittsburgh Steelers from 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.

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 a daughter, Kenadie (10) and son, Kaleb (9).

COACHING STAFF

A product of the Mississippi junior college system, Jonathan Webster enters his third season coaching defensive backs for the Rangers in 2016. In his first two seasons with Northwest, Webster’s stingy secondary has combined to pick off 20 passes with 54 breakups, eight forced fumbles and five blocked kicks. Rising sophomore Tito Windham’s 10 breakups last season was tied for ninth nationally. In two, short years, five of his former players at Northwest have gone on to sign scholarships to compete at the next level, including NJCAA First Team All-American Treston DeCoud (Oregon State University), Tino Thomas Jr. (Texas Southern), Brandon Mack (Southeast Missouri State), Marcel Newson (Mississippi College) and Steven Bradley (Mississippi College). Prior to the start of the 2014 season, Webster spent three weeks in the San Diego Chargers’ training camp as part of a Bill Walsh Minority Internship. Webster worked specifically with special teams and cornerbacks and was prominently involved in cut-ups and film breakdown. He was on the field for the Chargers’ 27-7 preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys. Webster came to Northwest in 2014, following two seasons at Northeast Mississippi Community College (2011-12) and three seasons at Southwest Mississippi Community College (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.

VP FOR EDUCATION

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Third Year Memphis, 1981

Third Year Mississippi College, 1987

Richie E. Lawson, former dean of Northwest Mississippi Community College’s DeSoto Center, was named vice president for education in April of 2014. 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. In 1988, he moved to Northwest’s Olive Branch Center as center director, and returned to DeSoto Center two years later as director of Vocational Technical Education. In 2002, Lawson was named dean of DeSoto Center. In that capacity, he was responsible for the administration of every aspect of the campus. As vice president, he is responsible for all aspects of education at the college: academic, career-technical and workforce at each campus. His office deals with compliance with all state requirements, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), articulation agreements with universities, dual enrollment and eLearning. “We have to make it easier for our students to come to Northwest,” Lawson said. “My main concern is to get our students enrolled and coming to school. We have great programs to offer but we need to make it easier for them to get here. One of my goals is to provide online registration for our students. 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. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism and public relations in 1981 and his master’s in communications studies in 1986 from The University of Memphis. In 2006, Lawson earned a graduate certificate in Community College Teaching and Leadership from The University of Memphis.

Steve Thompson begins his third 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.

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.

#16 NORTHWEST #19 JONES COUNTY

Behind a balanced offensive attack with 526 yards of total offense and timely defensive plays, 16th-ranked Northwest raced past 19th-ranked Jones County Saturday night at a packed Bobcat Field, 42-20, to win its 2015 season-opener. Northwest never trailed on the night, taking a 7-0 lead on its third series of the game after some trickeration. Gardner Minshew handed the ball off to Justin Crawford who pitched it back to Minshew and then he connected with Jacob McCrary for a 61-yard touchdown on the flea flicker. JCJC had to settle for a 20-yard field goal to end the first quarter after a nice red zone stand by the Rangers, making it 7-3. Northwest’s next two drives resulted in touchdowns to stretch the lead to 21-6. Minshew capped a 75-yard drive with a 1-yard quarterback keeper and Max Joseph found pay dirt from 3-yards out to cap an 8-play, 69-yard drive. JCJC took its opening drive of the second half 78 yards for a touchdown, scoring on the 11th play when Jarkeice Davis rushed in from 7-yards out. The ensuing point after attempt was blocked by Corey Brown to make it 21-12. A promising drive for the Rangers down to the JCJC 19-yard line stalled out when Crawford was hit and fumbled but the Bobcats quickly went three-and-out their next drive. Minshew’s second of three, 1-yard rushing touchdowns came on the Rangers’ ensuing possession. Northwest traveled 86 yards on 14 plays over 7:06 to push the lead back out to 28-12. McCrary’s acrobatic 29-yard grab on a free play put the Rangers in scoring position at the JCJC 2-yard line. Thad Miller drove the Bobcats directly down the field to start the fourth quarter and pulled the Bobcats within 28-20. DeSherrious Flowers scored on a 6-yard run and added a 2-point conversion. That’s as close as JCJC would get the rest of the night, however, with Northwest tacking on two more touchdowns in the quarter on Minshew’s 1-yard rush and Crawford’s 4-yard run. Steven Bradley and Jamison Goods each picked off Bobcat passes late. In his collegiate debut, Minshew was 21-for-31 for 332 yards and accounted for four total touchdowns. He hit six different receivers on the night, including McCrary seven times for 144 yards and a score and Marquisian Chapman five times for 123 yards. Crawford rushed 22 times for 129 yards and a score. Bradley had 10 tackles to lead all Rangers, followed by eight by Quondarius Qualls and A.J. Smith.

Northwest’s swarming defense held visiting Gulf Coast to 22 yards in the second half and the Rangers outscored the Bulldogs 23-3 down the stretch to pull off its second NJCAA Top 20 win in six days with a 26-10 victory Thursday, Sept. 4 at Bobby Franklin Field. Northwest improved to 2-0 with its first win over MGCCC since 2009. The Bulldogs fell to 1-1. After spotting the Bulldogs a touchdown in the first quarter after a botched punt attempt, it was all Northwest as the Rangers gained 405 yards of total offense while holding MGCCC to only 150 yards. Jim Speights put Northwest on the board with 6:43 to play in the second quarter, connecting on a 27yard field goal. Northwest then took the lead, 10-7, on its ensuing possession, driving 55 yards on nine plays, capped by a 3-yard touchdown pass from Gardner Minshew to tight end Romeel Cochran. Joshua Rowland’s 36-yard field goal with 3 seconds left in the quarter made it a 10-10 game at half. Northwest’s second and fourth drives of the second half both resulted in touchdowns with Minshew hitting Marquisian Chapman in stride for 45 and 47-yard touchdown strikes, making it 23-10 Rangers. The Ranger defense dominated the second half with sack after sack and did not allow Gulf Coast to cross the 50-yard line. Northwest finished with 15 tackles-for-loss and eight sacks, with Jalen Harvey recording 3.5 sacks, Chris Williams adding three and Quondarius Qualls adding 1.5. Speights’ career-long 39-yard field goal with 5:42 to play made the final 26-10 Rangers.

Northwest rolled up 593 total yards and sophomore linebacker Alfred Dickens intercepted a pass at the goal line as time expired to help the 8th-ranked Rangers escape Eaton Field with a 31-24 win. The Rangers looked to run away with the game early as Gardner Minshew hit Ryan Golden in stride for a 75-yard touchdown strike on the opening play from scrimmage to make it 7-0. Kwadra Griggs was then intercepted on the Indians’ first drive and Tito Windham returned it 34 yards down to the ICC 22-yard line to put the Rangers in business. After a 15-yard completion to Todd Wilson and a pass interference penalty, Northwest was setup at the 2-yard line. Looking to jump ahead by two scores, the game quickly shifted in momentum when a high snap on 2nd-and-goal sailed over Justin Crawford’s head and was picked up by Artez Williams who raced 82 yards to tie the game at 7-7. Jim Speights gave Northwest a 10-7 lead with 8:20 to play in the half with a 26-yard field goal. ICC quickly answered on its ensuing drive, taking it 79 yards over 12 plays, capped by Dontavis Bruce’s 21-yard touchdown run for a 14-10 lead. Northwest would take a 17-14 lead into the half, using a pair of long completions to Jacob McCrary and Golden to setup a record-setting 7-yard touchdown run by Crawford. With the touchdown run, Crawford became just the seventh Ranger in school history to go over 2,000 yards rushing in a career. Minshew’s 11-yard touchdown pass on the Rangers’ opening drive of the second half stretched the lead to 24-14 before a Zach Ellis field goal made it 24-17 after three quarters. Itawamba rallied to tie the game at 24-24 with just under 12 minutes to play, driving 61 yards on five plays, capped by Griggs’ 9-yard touchdown strike to Dominic Walker. Northwest attempted to answer on its ensuing drive, going 72 yards on 14 plays and eating up nearly 7 minutes off the clock, before a 20-yard field goal miss by Speights. After forcing a quick ICC three-and-out, Crawford’s 61-yard run, followed up by Max Joseph’s 6-yard touchdown run, put the Rangers back in front 31-24 with 3:34 to play. With ICC out of timeouts, Northwest got the ball back and drove it deep into Indian territory before turning it over on downs with 1 minute left. Griggs and the Indians had one, final chance and drove it down to the Northwest 31-yard line with quick outs to the sidelines to stop the clock. But mysteriously, on 3rd-and-1 and at least a yard and a half short of the first down, officials signaled a first down and to stop the clock with 10.6 seconds left. Griggs’ last-second heave into the end zone was originally caught right around the goal line before Dickens knocked the ball out and made the game-saving interception to seal a 31-24 road win.

Freshman Gardner Minshew threw for 306 yards and four touchdowns and sophomore standout Justin Crawford accounted for 244 all-purpose yards and four scores in the No. 10 Rangers’ rout of Northeast, 51-14, Thursday, Sept. 10 at Bobby Franklin Field. Northwest snapped a two-game losing streak to the Tigers and is out to its best start since the 2012 season at 3-0 overall (1-0 north). Northeast dropped to 0-3 and 0-1 in division play. After forcing a Northeast punt on its opening possession of the game, Northwest needed just four plays and 1:07 to find the end zone as Minshew connected with Crawford for a 62-yard touchdown. The Rangers would add touchdowns on each of their next three drives to jump out to a 28-0 lead less than a minute into the second quarter. Minshew threw scoring passes of 22 yards to Ryan Golden and 44 yards to Crawford in a quarter where Northwest outgained Northeast 226-49. Crawford added a 49-yard touchdown run. Northeast cut the lead in half with consecutive scoring drives, making it a 28-14 game with 3:22 left in the half. Kendrick Doss hit Khalid Kornegay from 26 yards out and later rushed in from 38 yards away. Jim Speights’ career-long, 41-yard field goal, his first of three on the night, made it 31-14 at the half. Crawford’s 55-yard touchdown run on the Rangers’ opening drive of the third quarter and Minshew’s 49-yard strike to Golden quickly extended the lead to 45-14 after three quarters. Speights then connected on field goals of 38 and 33 yards to make the final margin 51-14. Northwest outgained Northeast 603-336 on the night, a new season-high for the Rangers. Minshew finished 19-of-25 for 306 yards and four scores, connecting with Golden eight times for 142 yards and two touchdowns and Crawford twice for 106 yards and two scores in addition to his 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Shea Chism was 2-for-4 for 44 yards in the fourth quarter. Defensively, Malik Hawkins had a game-high nine tackles, two tackles-for-loss and a sack. Freshman Willie McCaleb had seven tackles, a breakup and four quarterback hurries. Both Kris Reliford and Raheim Avery were credited with forced fumbles.

Trailing by 15 with under 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Northwest rallied to tie the game thanks to a pair of touchdowns and Jim Speights’ short field goal and then benefited from a missed Hinds PAT in overtime to hang on for a thrilling, 38-37 win Thursday, Sept. 24 at Bobby Franklin Field. Northwest stayed unbeaten at 5-0, knocking off its third ranked opponent this season. The Hinds quarterback duo of TR Page and Jaquez Parks gave the Rangers problems all night, tucking the ball and running out of pressure for big first downs and three touchdowns on the ground. But it was a 6-yard pass from Parks to Jahmmir Taylor late in the first quarter that gave Hinds a 7-0 lead after one. The score was setup by a 31-yard interception return by DeCory McGee. Speights’ first of three field goals, a career-long, 43-yarder early in the second made it 7-3 Eagles. The teams would then exchange touchdowns on their ensuing drives, with Page rushing in for a 1-yard score and Justin Crawford scoring from 3 yards out after a long reception to Ryan Golden. Hinds extended its lead to 21-10 after an 8-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 10-yard run by Parks. Speights’ 36-yard field goal as time expired cut it to a 21-13 Hinds lead at the half. After Northwest came up short on its first three drives of the third quarter, including a 4th-and-5 at the Eagles’ 45-yard line, Hinds caught the Rangers sleeping and bombed a 55-yard pass from Parks to Taylor to make it 28-13. Facing its largest deficit all season, Northwest did not panic but instead responded with back-to-back scoring drives to tie the game at 28-28 after three quarters. Minshew caught fire, going 7-for-7 for 99 yards and a 24-yard touchdown pass to Marquisian Chapman. Crawford added an 8-yard run, breaking the school’s all-time rushing record on the same play. Mason Sollie’s 27-yard field goal with 4:56 to play put Hinds back in front, 31-28, but Speights would respond with an 18-yard field goal with 51 ticks left to send the game into overtime tied 31-31. In the overtime period, Hinds won the toss and elected to go on defense first. Northwest scored on just two plays as Minshew hit Jacob McCrary for a 20-yard connection and then Crawford added his third rushing touchdown of the night from 5 yards out. Hinds responded with a 4-play, 25-yard drive, as Parks flipped in from 4 yards out. But the ever so important point after attempt from Sollie sailed wide left after a bad snap, allowing the Rangers to escape with a come-from-behind, 38-37 win.

Jim Speights’ 35-yard field goal as time expired capped a game-winning 46-yard drive over 32 seconds and helped 5th-ranked Northwest stay unbeaten with a thrilling, 42-40 Homecoming win. Northwest improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the north division while Holmes dropped to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in division play. The Rangers are the lone unbeaten team in the MACJC after Pearl River’s upset of No. 1 Co-Lin, 17-9, on Saturday. Holmes gave Northwest all it could handle, piling up 598 total yards, including 454 on the ground. The triple-option attack worked to near perfection for the Bulldogs with Aquindus Henson rushing for 186 yards and a score and Dejerric Bryant going for 131 and two scores. Leading 17-13 at half, Northwest put some distance on the scoreboard just six minutes into the third. Northwest scored on its opening drive of the second half, driving 74 yards on nine plays, capped by a 1-yard Justin Crawford touchdown run. Gardner Minshew was 3-for-4 on the drive for 53 yards to set up the score. Just 2 minutes later with the Bulldogs driving, Anthony Gund forced a Henson fumble and Chris Fobbs scooped and scored from 50 yards out to make it a 31-13 Ranger lead. Holmes fired right back, scoring on three straight drives to jump in front 33-31 with 10:34 to play. Henson rushed in from 8 yards to cap a 68-yard drive and Treviante McDaniel scored on back-to-back drives from 3 and 15 yards on the ground after a successful onside kick attempt. Northwest forced a Holmes 3-and-out after an unsuccessful drive themselves, and pushed in front 39-33 with 6:53 to play after Minshew hit Ryan Golden in stride for a 34-yard touchdown. After a missed field goal that would’ve likely iced the game for Northwest, Holmes drove 79 yards on 11 plays, capped by Bryant’s 10-yard touchdown run with 37 ticks left. The ensuing point after attempt from Kyle Settlemir, a 35-yard try after a penalty, was good and the Bulldogs led 40-39. Electing to squib kick it instead of kicking it deep, Romeel Cochran returned the Holmes kickoff to the Northwest 36-yard line with 32 seconds remaining and all three timeouts left for the Rangers. Minshew hit Golden for a 25-yard gain to the Holmes 39-yard line and Northwest immediately called timeout. After three straight incompletions, Minshew floated a perfect pass to Marquisian Chapman for a 21-yard gain on 4th-and-10 and used a timeout with 4 seconds left at the 18-yard line. Speights, who missed two field goals earlier in the game, got his redemption as time expired, banging through a 35-yard field goal to lift Northwest to its second come-from-behind win in as many games.

In an NJCAA Top 10 showdown for a north division championship, it was homestanding East Mississippi who outscored Northwest 21-0 in the second half to pull away for a 49-16 victory at SullivanWindham Field Thursday, Oct. 15. EMCC improved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the division. Northwest dropped its first game of the season to fall to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in division play. After the game got off to a slow start for both teams, it was Isaiah Austin’s 87-yard touchdown run with 4:06 left in the first quarter that put the Lions on the board first. The drive covered 99 yards on just three plays after Jim Speights’ 52-yard punt was downed at the 1-yard line. Austin scored again minutes into the second quarter to make it 14-0, leaping over the top of the pile from 1-yard out. Down a couple scores, Northwest put together one of its best scoring drives of the night after Austin’s second score. Gardner Minshew hit Romeel Cochran for a 22-yard gain and Justin Crawford for a 34-yard gain that eventually set up first-and-goal at the 2-yard line. But Northwest had to settle for a 19-yard field goal after a wide open drop in the end zone, pulling within 14-3. Two plays and 41 seconds later, DJ Law raced for a 56-yard score to stretch the lead back to 20-3. Once again Northwest came firing right back with a good drive, going 58 yards in only three plays. Minshew hit Jacob McCrary for a 39-yard gain that set up a 7-yard touchdown run by Crawford. The ensuing PAT was blocked by, however, and returned for two points, making it a 22-9 game. The teams traded touchdowns to close the quarter and EMCC led 28-16 at the break. Northwest drove deep into EMCC territory on its opening possession of the third quarter thanks to Marquisian Chapman’s 43-yard gain, but three plays later, Minshew was picked off for just the third time this season by Ronald Ollie. A couple of series later, the Lions put together another lengthy drive that covered 84 yards, capped off by a 39-yard touchdown pass from Wyatt Roberts to Allenzae Staggers. The lead quickly grew to 42-16 with 5:28 left in the third when Crawford fumbled and the Lions scored a play later. Roberts threw his third touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth, hitting Dario Robinson for a 20-yard score, to make the final 49-16.

Northwest jumped out to a commanding 30-0 lead after a quarter of play and never looked back in a 51-14 win over Coahoma Thursday night in the regular season finale for both teams. Ranked sixth nationally, Northwest improved to 8-1 overall and finished as runner-up in the north at 5-1 in division play. Coahoma ended the season winless at 0-9 and 0-6. Northwest scored touchdowns on each of its first six drives, taking the opening kickoff and traveling 70 yards in 10 plays for an early 7-0 lead. Gardner Minshew connected on six of his first eight passes, moving the Rangers down the field to setup an 8-yard touchdown run by Justin Crawford. Max Joseph followed with a 1-yard touchdown run and Crawford scored from 53 yards out before Aleck Hobson’s blocked punt led to a 23-0 lead. Northwest took the ensuing kickoff back to the Coahoma 11-yard line after KyKy Austin’s 53-yard return. Austin scored two plays later with a one-handed grab from Minshew in the corner of the end zone. Northwest forced its second turnover of the night on CCC’s opening possession of the second quarter, with Kris Reliford intercepting Dominic Marino and returning it to the goal line. Reliford fumbled it at the 1-yard line and it was recovered by D’Andre Brown in the end zone for a 44-0 lead at the half. Late in the third quarter, after a punt block by Austin setup Northwest at CCC’s 34-yard line, Shea Chism hit the freshman a play later for a 34-yard score and 51-0 lead. Coahoma added a pair of late touchdowns on an 86-yard punt return by Greg Johnson and 39-yard touchdown pass from Rodney English to Devonta Jones. A running clock was in effect for the entire second half. Northwest’s defense held Coahoma to 98 total yards, racking up 10 tackles-for-loss, two sacks and three interceptions. David Herrington had a team-high six tackles, a sack and pass breakup. Minshew finished 16-for-20 for 182 yards and a touchdown in a little over a quarter of work. Chism was 7-for-10 for 73 yards, a touchdown and interception. Nine different Rangers caught a pass, with Titus Ivory hauling in six for 46 yards. Austin had two catches for 41 yards and two scores. With an unexpected MACJC ruling on Friday, Oct. 23 disqualifying EMCC from the postseason after a bench-clearing brawl at Mississippi Delta, Northwest will now be the north’s No. 1 seed and play host to nationally-ranked East Central (7-2) in the MACJC state semifinals.

Down 11 in the first half in Saturday’s MACJC semifinal game against 17th-ranked East Central, No. 2 Northwest outscored the Warriors 24-6 down the stretch and held them to just 67 yards in the second half to grind out a 27-20 win and advance to the championship game. Northwest snapped an eight-game losing streak in the state playoffs and will play in its first MACJC Championship game since 1999 – the same year of their last conference championship. It was East Central, however, who got out to a fast start on Saturday, jumping out to a 14-3 lead. After Northwest had to settle for a 23-yard field goal on its opening drive, the Warriors drove 58 yards in 14 plays, capped off by Jesse Hosket’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Thomas, to make it 7-3. The Warriors went right back to work on their second possession, feeding Tredarian Gamble and Mikell Daniels, who took it down to the 1-yard line before Gamble punched it in for a 14-3 lead. Northwest caught a break just before halftime to pull within 14-10 at the break, with Hosket mishandling a snap and fumbling it at the ECCC 20-yard line. Six plays later, Gardner Minshew hit Marquisian Chapman for a 5-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left on the clock. Northwest’s defense was undoubtedly the difference in the second half, forcing four straight East Central punts and blocking a field goal to keep the Warriors off the board. Minshew and the Rangers scored 17 straight to pull ahead 20-14 with 7:06 left in the third quarter, with the freshman hitting Jacob McCrary for a 41-yard score and Speights connecting on a recordbreaking 28-yard field goal. Speights passed All-American Shae Orrell (1999-00) for first all-time in field goal makes, hitting the 21st of his career. The six-point lead was short-lived, however, with Henri Murphy returning the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a score to tie the game at 20-20. The point after was blocked by Jalen Harvey. Another blocked kick by Northwest, this one by Malik Hawkins on a 32-yard field goal attempt by Aaron Garrett with 7:02 to play, kept the game tied and helped setup the game-winning drive. Minshew marched the Rangers 80 yards downfield on 11 plays over 4:45 and connected with Chapman for a 6-yard touchdown with 6:11 to go to take a 27-20 lead. East Central’s final chance started at its own 20-yard line with 2:56 to play. The Warriors drove it out to their own 47-yard line, thanks in large part to a pair of Northwest penalties, before a 4th-and-four attempt from Hosket to Noah Nix came up short and they turned it over on downs. Northwest was able to salt away the final 1:16 to preserve its fifth come-from-behind victory.

Winning the NJCAA Football Championship Game in dominant fashion, No. 1 Northwest Mississippi defeated No. 2 Rochester (Minn.) 66-13 in Sunday’s Mississippi Bowl VIII. Completing 23 of 30 passes on the day, freshman quarterback Gardner Minshew led the Northwest Mississippi offensive onslaught. The Brandon, Mississippi, product threw for 421 yards and five touchdowns in the victory, compiling 302 yards and three scores in the first half alone. Complimenting Minshew’s aerial assault was sophomore running back Justin Crawford who enjoyed a prolific day on the ground. Scoring a 58-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage, Crawford led all ball carriers with 144 yards rushing on 15 carries – averaging 9.6 yards per attempt. Northwest Mississippi’s receiving corps was led by sophomore Jacob McCrary who hauled in seven catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Freshman wide receiver Alex Norwood caught two touchdown passes as well, totaling three receptions for 49 yards. The Rangers accumulated 680 yards offensively – 486 passing and 194 rushing – and were forced into just one punt in the game. Their offensive efficiency was on display as they racked up 27 first downs. Defensively, Northwest was led by a game-high seven tackles from sophomore linebacker Malik Hawkins. Freshman defensive lineman Quondarius Qualls tallied two tackles-for-loss, while freshman defensive back Wesley Bush forced Rochester’s lone turnover with an interception in the fourth quarter. As a team, Northwest Mississippi 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 sophomore quarterback Nick Rooney who was sacked four times and hit an additional six. Despite the punishment, Rooney went 26 for 48 passing for 223 yards and added two touchdown passes to his NJCAA single-season record performance in 2015. Leading 35-0 at half, a Jim Speights 23-yard field goal and 36-yard touchdown pass from Minshew to McCrary extended Northwest Mississippi’s lead to 45-0. Minshew notched his fifth touchdown pass in the opening minute of the fourth quarter to put the Rangers up 52-0. Following a fumbled punt return by Northwest Mississippi, the Yellowjackets finally got on the board with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Rooney to Esters with 12:42 remaining Max Joseph responded with a 5-yard touchdown run and freshman Shea Chism found Norwood in the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown pass before RCTC scored on the final play to make the final 66-13.

ABOUT

For the first time in 16 long years, the Northwest Rangers are MACJC Football Champions, defeating Gulf Coast 34-24 on Saturday to claim its ninth football title in program history. Northwest improved to 10-1 overall, defeating its fifth ranked opponent this season. It’s also their first-ever postseason win over the Bulldogs in eight tries. MGCCC fell to 8-3 with the loss. The Rangers’ swarming defense got to MGCCC quarterback A.J. Erdely all afternoon long, just as they did the first meeting of the season back in September. Northwest forced four turnovers and finished with six sacks, three from freshman Quondarius Qualls, and tallied 14 total in two games against the Bulldogs. Northwest took its second drive of the game 49 yards in three plays, with Gardner Minshew going 3-for-3 on the drive and connecting with Marquisian Chapman for a 13-yard touchdown and 7-0 lead. Gulf Coast responded 5 minutes later to tie the game at 7-7 after Erdely’s 6-yard quarterback keeper. The scoring drive was setup by T’Rod Daniels’ 54-yard punt return down to the Northwest 11-yard line. The Rangers jumped back in front minutes into the second quarter when Justin Crawford broke a 50yard touchdown run to make it 14-7. Crawford’s run put him over the 3,000-yard mark of his illustrious career, the only player in school history to accomplish the feat. After the Rangers’ opening drive of the third quarter stalled out at the MGCCC 15-yard line, it was the Northwest defense that cranked it up a notch. Corey Brown strip-sacked Erdely at the MGCCC 32-yard line and then scooped and scored from 22 yards out to make it 21-10 with 10:58 left in the third. Two possessions later it was the defense again, this time Tito Windham. After Quondarius Qualls sacked Erdely for a 14-yard loss it was Windham who picked up the loose ball at the 5-yard line and scampered in for the score and 27-10 lead. MGCCC pulled within 27-17 just 40 seconds later, however, when Erdely scrambled outside of the pocket and then hit Johnathan Nance for a 62-yard touchdown to end the third quarter. Northwest took its largest lead, 34-17, with 11:30 to play in the game after Minshew hit Crawford out of the backfield for an 18-yard touchdown on 3rd-and-12. The drive was aided by a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and kept alive on Jacob McCrary’s 28-yard diving catch. Erdely drove the Bulldogs 83 yards on nine plays with the clock running under 6 minutes and hit Nance for a 4-yard touchdown to make it 34-24 with 2:49 remaining. Gulf Coast got the ball back with 1:05 remaining and drove it down to the Northwest 2-yard line before the final horn. Gulf Coast Northwest

Jack Wright Named NJCAA Football Coach of the Year

2015 REVIEW

2016 PREVIEW

ABOUT

Northwest improved from 1-8 to 11-1 in two seasons

76

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – In just his second season as a head coach, Northwest Mississippi’s Jack Wright was recognized by the NJCAA Football Coaches Association with the Spalding® NJCAA Football Coach of the Year Award. “This is a tremendous honor,” Wright said. “But it’s an honor for our team because football is the ultimate team sport. Anytime you receive an individual honor like this, it really is more of a reflection of the coaching staff and the players and the collective effort and results that we had this year as a group.” In just his second season as a head coach, Wright directed the Rangers to their program’s first national championship since 1992. Northwest Mississippi defeated a school-record six ranked opponents en route to an 11-1 record. The Rangers battled through a rugged schedule in the Mississippi Association of Community & Junior Colleges (MACJC) and came away with their first conference title since 1999. Fueling Northwest Mississippi’s run to the title was a potent offensive attack under Wright’s guidance. The Rangers averaged 38.7 points per game in 2015, ranking among the top ten in the nation with 480.8 yards per game. In the passing game, Wright’s offense averaged 290.7 yards passing per game with 30 touchdown passes on the year – cracking the top 10 in both statistical categories. Taking over a team that finished 1-8 the year prior to his arrival, Wright orchestrated one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the history of NJCAA football. During his debut season in 2014, the Rangers already began to show signs of improvement with a 4-6 record and an appearance in the MACJC playoffs. One year later, they were lifting the national championship trophy. Despite his young tenure at Northwest Mississippi, Wright is no stranger to the program having served as the Rangers’ offensive coordinator from 2008-12. The Batesville, Mississippi, native spent one season as offensive line coach at Holmes (Miss.) in 2013 before returning to Senatobia as head coach. Prior to joining the NJCAA ranks, Wright was an offensive line coach at NCAA Division III Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi from 2005-07. Launching his coaching career in 2001 at the high school level, Wright spent one year at North Delta School before landing a job as offensive line coach at Meridian High School where he stayed until 2004.

Football Trio Named NJCAA All-Americans

Northwest now has 107 all-americans in its rich history ABOUT 2016 PREVIEW 2015 REVIEW

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Following an 11-1 season that saw the Northwest football team claim its third national championship in program history and first since 1992, three Rangers have been selected as NJCAA All-Americans. Sophomore running back Justin Crawford received NJCAA First Team All-American honors, while freshman quarterback Gardner Minshew and sophomore linebacker Malik Hawkins were named honorable mentions. Crawford, a Columbus, Ga. native, ends his Northwest career with a combined 15 school records, including all-time rushing yards (3,161), rushing touchdowns (30) and all-purpose yards (3,993). This season, he rushed for 1,610 yards on 248 carries (6.5 ypc) and scored 16 rushing touchdowns, while adding 29 receptions for 394 yards and six touchdowns. A two-time First Team All-MACJC and NJCAA All-Region 23 selection, Crawford finished with 15 100-yard rushing games in his Ranger career, including a schoolrecord 338 yards and four touchdowns at Coahoma in 2014. He was a six-time MACJC Offensive Player of the Week nod and also earned second team all-American honors last season. In his first season under center, Minshew started all 12 games for the Rangers, completing 61 percent of his passes for 3,288 yards (third in a single-season) and 28 touchdowns (tied-second single-season). The Brandon native was first in the conference and seventh in the NJCAA with 274 passing yards per game. A native of Horn Lake, Hawkins led the Ranger defense in tackles this season, quietly collecting 94 total tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, seven quarterback hurries and three sacks. He finishes his Northwest career with 200 total tackles, tying Cassius Ware for eighth all-time in that category. The trio gives Northwest 107 all-americans in its rich football history, including 11 in the last six seasons alone. The Rangers have placed at least one player on an all-american team in 29 of the past 31 seasons.

All-American quarterback Gardner Minshew was named the Mississippi Bowl Player of the Year after the Rangers’ 66-13 win over Rochester in the national title game. He left his mark in the Northwest record book in only one season, finishing in the top five in 10 different statistical categories.

Justin Crawford Tabbed NJCAA Player of the Year ABOUT

Crawford is just the third POTY in program history

2015 REVIEW

2016 PREVIEW

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.– The accolades continued to pile up for Justin Crawford, as the Northwest running back was named the 2015 Spalding® NJCAA Football Offensive Player of the Year. “This is a huge honor for me,” Crawford said. “I’m really glad to see that all of the hard work has paid off. My teammates deserve a lot of credit for this award and I share it with them. I’m especially thankful for my coaches, offensive line and my quarterback for believing in me and putting me in this position to succeed. Northwest is a first-class institution and I can’t thank the people here enough.” At or near the top of the NJCAA in numerous offensive categories, Crawford’s dominance propelled Northwest Mississippi to its first national championship since 1992. Carrying the load with a nation-leading 268 carries, the sophomore led the country with 1,610 yards rushing and ranked fifth with 16 touchdowns on the ground. Crawford surpassed the 100-yard mark in 10 of the Rangers’ 12 games this season. Proving to be a valuable asset out of the backfield for Rangers freshman quarterback Gardner Minshew, Crawford hauled in 29 receptions for 394 yards and six touchdowns. The Columbus, Georgia, native topped the nation with 2,022 allpurpose yards, while ranking second in total touchdowns with 22 on the year. Facing off against No. 2 Rochester (Minn.) in the NJCAA Football Championship Game, Crawford showcased a phenomenal performance that earned him offensive MVP honors. Setting the tone with a 58-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage, Crawford led the top-ranked Rangers to a 66-13 victory. He finished the game with 15 carries for a game-high 144 yards and two touchdowns. “We handled our business on and off the field this season, helping us reach our ultimate goal,” Crawford said. “Winning the conference and national championship was an awesome experience for me and my team.” The NJCAA Football Offensive Player of the Year Award caps off a brilliant twoyear career for Crawford in Senatobia filled with highlights. His career 3,161 yards and 30 touchdowns rushing are just two of the 12 school records he owns. With a stock that is rising fast, Crawford has drawn the attention of several elite four-year colleges. According to 247sports, his suitors include power-five programs Arkansas, West Virginia, Georgia, Louisville and Texas A&M. Crawford however, isn’t getting ahead of himself. “Now my focus shifts to my academics this spring and getting it done in the classroom,” he said. Crawford is the third student-athlete from Northwest Mississippi to receive player of the year accolades. Former Ranger defensive back Jamaal Jackson was named NJCAA Football Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, while former quarterback Russell Evans won the award in 1992 when it was only presented to one player.

STARKVILLE – Northwest Community College has been rewarded for its good season. The Rangers have achieved a 10-1 record and won the MACJC Championship over Gulf Coast Community College recently. They now find themselves in a position to play for the NJCAA National Championship against Rochester (Minn.) in Biloxi on Sunday. The Mississippi Bowl kicks off at 2 p.m. Defensive line coach and Starkville native Travis Macon doesn’t take the success that Northwest has had this season for granted. In Macon’s mind, the effort the Rangers have played with over the course of the season has led to this moment. “We’ve had some good breaks this year and our players have played hard,” Macon said. “They have done a really good job doing what we tell them to do and it’s always like finishing all of the way until the fourth quarter.” Even though the door was open for the Rangers due to two-time defending national champion East Mississippi Community College being suspended for the playoffs, Northwest still had to make the most of the situation. Macon said the Rangers still had to take care of business on the field. “We still had to play our game and win the games we had to play,” Macon said. Macon and Northwest look to get one more win and a national championship ring. Former Starkville High School player A.J. Smith plays for the Rangers and Macon said representing their hometown is always important. Macon believes Smith does that well. “Starkville is always home,” Macon said. “You always want to represent your hometown and always do something good for your hometown.”(Smith) has done a really good job and has actually got a chance to start a couple of games,” Macon said. “Everything we’ve asked him to do, he’s really done well. He also plays on special teams. He got a little banged up toward the midway part of the year, but he’s fought through it and doing good.”


2016 MEDIA GUIDE

Fred Thomas Inducted into MACJC Hall of Fame Thomas is a 2005 Northwest Sports Hall of Fame inductee

ABOUT 2016 PREVIEW

SENATOBIA – Former Northwest standout, NJCAA All-American and 12-year NFL veteran defensive back Fred Thomas was inducted into the Mississippi Community College Sports Hall of Fame on April 26. The ninth annual induction ceremony was held at the Muse Center on the Rankin County campus of Hinds Community College. A native of Bruce, Miss., Thomas played football for the Rangers under legendary head coach Bobby Franklin during the 1992-93 seasons. Thomas spent time on both sides of the ball as a cornerback and receiver and was a mainstay on special teams. On defense, he tallied 69 tackles with five interceptions and 24 passes defended in two seasons, and on offense, he caught 21 passes for 349 yards and two touchdowns his sophomore year. It was on special teams where Thomas did a majority of his damage, however. He finished his two-year career with 40 punt returns for 949 yards and four touchdowns, all school records, and had 19 kick returns for 498 yards and two scores for an average of 26.2 yards/return. During the Rangers’ 1992 NJCAA National Championship season, Thomas had 28 punt returns for 693 yards and single-season school record three touchdowns. A two-time First Team All-MACJC selection and 1993 NJCAA Second Team All-American, Thomas still holds eight special teams school records.

2015 REVIEW

After Northwest, he played one season at Ole Miss and then transferred to the University of Tennessee-Martin. He was selected as the 47th overall pick in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks where he played in a total of 47 games from 1996-99. Thomas joined the New Orleans Saints in 2000, and in his first season with the team, the Saints finished the regular season 10-6 and claimed the NFC West division title. New Orleans advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 1992 and defeated St. Louis, the defending Super Bowl Champions, in the Wild Card round to claim the franchise’s first playoff victory. In 2002, Thomas received the Ed Block Courage Award and was named to the All-Madden team. He was also listed as an alternate for the NFL Pro Bowl after finishing the season with 83 tackles and career-high five interceptions. He had back-to-back seasons in which he totaled 80 tackles or more with the Saints and picked up the lone touchdown of his career on a 64-yard blocked field goal return in 2003. Thomas and the Saints returned to New Orleans following the devastation left behind by Hurricane Katrina in 2006. The team played their first home game in Week 3, returning to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the first time since the 2005 season and handily defeated the rival Falcons, 233, on Monday Night Football. Thomas finished that season with 80 tackles and two interceptions, as the Saints captured the NFC South division title with a 10-6 mark and made the playoffs. Thomas spent a total of eight seasons with the Saints before retiring in 2008. He finished his NFL career with 515 total tackles, 13 interceptions, 74 passes defended, nine forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. Thomas is a 2005 Northwest Sports Hall of Fame inductee. He’s currently an advocate leader in his community and devoted father to his six children: Jasmine, Jayla, Jhase, Harlem, Shekeita Craig and Aiden Hall.

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)

Northwest 16, Ferrum 9 • 1982 Eastern Bowl (Ferrum, Va.)

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 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.

Coffeyville 29, Northwest 21 • 1987 Jayhawk Bowl (Coffeyville, Kan.)

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.”

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.

All-Time Bowl Appearances

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.

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.

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.

ABOUT

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. JOE BOYLES, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, T&F, 1961-63 A native of Batesville, Joe Boyles was a four-sport athlete at Batesville High School. Playing five years of varsity basketball from eighth grade through his senior year, he was named to the All-Delta Valley Conference Team for three consecutive years in basketball and was an All-Delta Valley Conference Honorable Mention selection in football his senior year. While at Northwest, Boyles played football, baseball and basketball and ran track during his freshman season in 1961-62. He served as Ranger football co-captain his sophomore season and was named an all-state honorable mention that year. After leaving Northwest, he earned his bachelor's degree from Delta State University and coached football, basketball and track for five years at North Panola High School. Boyles returned to Northwest in 1977 and worked for over 34 years as the financial aid director, serving under three presidents: Henry B. Koon, Dr. David Haraway and Dr. Gary Lee Spears. His love of sports has continued throughout his life, as he has coached Little League and American League baseball teams for 12 years and church league basketball for five years. He also umpired Little League and high school baseball games for 48 years and served on the J.P. Hudson Park Board for five years. An active member of First Baptist Church of Batesville, he especially enjoys participating in the Senior Choir as well as Keenagers.

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. 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.

HISTORY

ANDRE RONE, FOOTBALL, 1994-96 Andre Rone set almost every receiving record in school history during his 1994-95 All-American career. Rone was a two-time NJCAA All-American selection, earning second team honors in 1994 and being named an honorable mention in 1995. Rone caught 117 career passes (school record) for 1,927 yards and 14 touchdowns, which still ranks in the top 10. After leaving Northwest, Rone excelled at Ole Miss where he emerged as one of the best playmakers in the SEC. In his two seasons with the Rebels, he recorded 56 receptions for 738 yards and three touchdowns and added 26 punt returns for 246 yards. One of his most notable moments was catching a 10-yard touchdown pass from Stewart Patridge with 25 seconds left that led to a 15-14 win over Mississippi State in the 1997 Egg Bowl. Rone played professionally in NFL Europe for the Berlin Thunder and went on to spend several seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills.

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.
