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.

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!

PRESIDENT

DR. MICHAEL

HEINDL

PRESIDENT u 1ST YEAR

Dr. Michael J. Heindl was selected as the ninth president of Northwest Mississippi Community College by the college’s Board of Trustees during a special meeting held April 26, 2018 on the Senatobia campus.

Heindl formerly served as executive vice president of Administration and Finance at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Perkinston.

“I’m very honored and privileged to be able to serve the institution at this important time,” Heindl said. “I’ve spent numerous years in the community college system working toward a day like this. My wife and I are excited to be Rangers.”

A native of Clinton, Heindl heads the state’s third-largest community college with a current enrollment of nearly 7,000 students on five campuses and online.

“We were blessed to receive many applicants for the position of president of Northwest.

All of the applicants had outstanding credentials,” Dr. Adam Pugh of Lafayette County, chairman of the Board of Trustees said. “Dr. Heindl’s background and accomplishments helped him stand out as a quality applicant from the beginning of the process. I am very pleased that our board selected him to lead our college. His energy and excitement for Northwest is evident from the moment you meet him. Dr. Heindl will be an asset for many years.”

Heindl, a community college graduate, brings with him to Northwest experience in a number of areas, including finance, technology, legal issues, human resources, emergency management, campus leadership, student services, workforce training and admissions.

“I think that my having worked in higher education for the last 16 years and in every area of higher education has uniquely equipped me to lead Northwest,” Heindl said. “I have been an instructor/professor for many years teaching in academic and career-technical courses and graduate-level courses. I have managed a large institutional budget and all of the administrative and finance functions of the second-largest community college in the state.”

Heindl holds a Ph.D. in community college leadership from Mississippi State University (2011), a Juris Doctor from Thomas M. Cooley Law School at Western Michigan University (2001), a B.S. in psychology from Mississippi College (1997), and an Associate of Arts in general studies/music from Hinds (1994).

He began his career in education in 2001 as golf tournament coordinator at Hinds Community College and also served as an intern for the Mississippi Supreme Court while working on his law degree during that time. In July, 2001 he became dean of students for Wesley College in Florence before being named district director of Admissions and Records at Hinds in 2003. In 2006, Heindl was program specialist for Career and Technical Education at the Mississippi Community College Board, where some of his responsibilities included coordination for all career-technical programs and workforce training for the state’s 15 community colleges.

In 2007 he returned to Hinds, where he worked for four years as dean of students for the Rankin County Campus before being named vice president of the Jackson County Campus of MGCCC in 2011. A year later, he moved into the position of executive vice president of Administration and Finance.

In addition to his administrative experience, Heindl has 16 years of teaching experience, having served as an adjunct instructor for legal courses in both the Department of Business and in the Career-Technical paralegal program at Hinds. He has also taught graduate-level courses in higher education law at Mississippi College and was an adjunct professor teaching Community College Legal Issues in the Community College Leadership

2018 PREVIEW

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

Rangers Looking to Reach Fourth Straight MACJC Title Game Northwest is 23-3 in the regular season over the last three years After three straight NJCAA Top 10 finishes, three straight trips to the MACJC title game and three consecutive bowl berths, Northwest will open the season ranked fifth according to JCGridiron.com and Street & Smith’s Magazine and sixth in the NJCAA. Playing for a championship has become the norm for Northwest football. The Rangers are trying to become only the fifth program ever to reach four straight conference championship games and the first from the MACJC’s north division.

Northwest is coming off an 8-3 season, a 16th north division championship, MACJC runner-up finish and fourth bowl appearance in six years. The Rangers will be a little more balanced on its 55-man roster this year with 32 freshmen and 23 sophomores compared to 39 freshmen on their roster last season.

The Rangers return just seven starters in 2018, with six of those on defense. Twentyone players signed with four-year programs off last year’s team, 11 of those to Division I. That gives Northwest 50 signees off the 2016 and 2017 rosters.

For a second straight season, Northwest will host four games at Bobby Franklin Field.

The Rangers have won 16 of their last 17 in Senatobia. A difficult three-game road stretch from September 6-20 will test the team early before playing three of its last five at home.

For the first time in the program’s history, all Northwest football broadcasts will be carried online only for the 2018 season. Ranger fans won’t have to look far to catch all the action, as all games will be carried live and archived through nwccrangers.com/watch.

NORTHWEST OFFENSE Returning Starters: 1 The Rangers ranked fifth in the NJCAA in total offense last season with the MACJC’s second-ranked total offense (485.5 ypg) and fourth-best scoring offense (37.3 ppg), including 66 and 61-point games vs rival East Mississippi.

Northwest will have to replace 10 starters on offense, however, with Ole Miss wide receiver commit JaVonta Payton the lone returning starter.

The entire starting five on the offensive line will be new. Four linemen signed Division I last season, highlighted by two-time NJCAA All-American Damien Lewis to LSU, and starting center Colton Skidmore did not return. If anyone can handle the challenge of a young line, it’s position coach Jim Jones. Now in his ninth season, Jones has developed some of the top offensive linemen in the state over the last several years.

Sophomores Lavante Epson Jr. and Tae-Kion Reed, who are projected to start at left guard and left tackle, will have to lead seven young freshmen. The other starting spots are up for grabs with Anterrious Gray (Noxubee County), Shyron Rodgers (Corinth), Jamaul Lofton (South Panola), Ashton Stewart (Oxford), Ramble Johnson (Purvis) and Keith Foggy (Lanier) all competing for them. Expect a heavy rotatation early in the year.

Northwest will field three quarterbacks on the roster in 2018. The competition between Vanderbilt transfer and redshirt freshman Jacob Free (6-5/230) and sophomore Robert Wilcke (6-0/190) has been ongoing all fall.

Free was the highest-rated recruit in the Commodores’ signing class and Rivals.com ranked the strong-armed Free as the No. 20 pro-style quarterback in the nation. He passed for 7,367 yards, 95 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in his high school career.

Wilcke, a dual-threat QB, backed up Southern Miss signee Jack Abraham a year ago and saw action in eight games, completing 6-of-8 passes for 31 yards and rushing 20 times for 130 yards. He was a two-time Best of the Preps selection and a finalist for the 2016 SES Mr. Elite Award out of Hernando High School.

Running back Kevin Perkins, who rushed for nearly 900 yards and 12 touchdowns last year, will be part of a three-headed rushing attack with Kennesaw State transfer Jaxton Carson and former West Point stud Chris Calvert. Perkins, who started eight games as a freshman, signed with Troy on national signing day, but decided to return to Senatobia for his sophomore year. Calvert finished his high school career with over 3,000 yards rushing and 600 receiving, helping West Point to a pair of state championships.

2018 NORTHWEST FOOTBALL // NWCCRANGERS.COM

JaVonta Payton enters 2018 a Sporting News Super Sophomore and on JCGridiron’s Wide Receiver Watch List. He started all but one game as a freshman, finishing with 44 receptions for 509 yards and nine touchdowns. Payton is ranked No. 18 on 247Sports’ JUCO Top 100 list.

This year’s receiving corps could be one of, if not the, most talented unit on paper that longtime receivers coach Scott Oakley has had in his 14 years.

Payton, who had 44 grabs for 509 yards and nine touchdowns, is the top returner. He will be joined by Division I transfers Monterio Hunt (Marshall), Braden Smith (Mississippi State) and Travis Tucker (Tulane). Hunt was rated the 15th-best receiver prospect in the state of Mississippi out of high school, but played primarily on special teams at Marshall last year. Smith is still making the transition to receiver after starting at quarterback three seasons at Northwest Rankin High School.

Sophomores Demarcus Jones, Keshunn Abram and Maurice Toney played in all 11 games last year. Jones, who ranked just outside 247Sports’ JUCO Top 100, had 21 catches for 230 yards and a touchdown as a freshman. The reliable Jack Hendershot, along with newcomer Michael Campbell, will line up at tight end for Stan Hill’s run-and-gun offense.

NORTHWEST DEFENSE Returning Starters: 6 The Rangers boasted the MACJC’s top scoring defense (19.5 ppg) and No. 2 total defense (302.3 ypg) last year, the best in defensive coordinator Benjy Parker’s four-year tenure. Both totals also ranked in the NJCAA Top 15. Northwest posted the most shutouts in a single-season (four) since the 1992 NJCAA National Championship season, blanking Northeast, East Central, Coahoma and Mississippi Delta by a combined score of 146-0.

SOUTH DIVISION 1. Jones County 2. Hinds 3. Gulf Coast 4. Pearl River 5. Copiah-Lincoln 6. Southwest Mississippi 7. East Central

Robert Miller started all 11 games at outside linebacker last season and was sixth on the team with 35 tackles, 1.5 tackles-for-loss, a sack, four breakups and two quarterback hurries.

NORTHWEST SPECIAL TEAMS Returning Starters: 0 Kicker/punter Drake McCarter and long snapper Jack Creely have both moved on to play at the four-year level after solid two-year careers in Senatobia. McCarter, who signed with Mississippi College, leaves his name in the Northwest record books for career field goals made (22) and punts inside-the-20 yard line (38) -- both ranking first. Creely, who inked with Delta State, graded out at 99 percent on snap efficiency over two seasons and will be a difficult replacement on the special teams unit.

Newcomer Chris Taylor from Columbus High School will take over kicking and punting duties in 2018. Taylor led the state in punting yardage according to MaxPreps last year and was 14-of-14 in PATs and 3-for-3 from field goal range. He was a Mississippi Gridiron Magazine Second Team selection his junior year. Colby Cooper from Brandon High School played defense in addition to primary duties as a long snapper last season. He was a two-time second team all-state selection on the field and a Mississippi Scholar off the field.

NORTHWEST RANGERS

ABOUT // 2018 PREVIEW // PLAYERS // COACHING STAFF // 2017 REVIEW // RECORDS // NEXT LEVEL // HISTORY

Northwest will have to replace three of the league’s top 10 tacklers in Memphis signee Keith Brown Jr. (94 tackles), Mississippi College’s Turner Rotenberry (79 tackles) and West Virginia signee Joshua Norwood (71 tackles). Rotenberry leaves as Northwest’s all-time leader in interception returns for a touchdown, finishing with three of his four career pick sixes as a sophomore.

Other big losses for the Rangers are Hal Northern and Tariqious Tisdale in the trenches, both Ole Miss signees. Northern was named the MACJC North Division’s defensive line MVP, first team all-conference and NJCAA All-Region 23 as a sophomore and finished his career with 31.0 tackles-for-loss, fifth-most in school history. The duo had a combined 26.5 tackles-for-loss last season and 12.5 sacks.

Despite the losses up front, Northwest will still possess one of the top defensive lines in the state under fifth-year position coach Travis Macon. A dozen linemen have continued to the four-year level under Macon at Northwest, including 10 to Division I programs such as Ole Miss, Louisville, West Virginia and Kansas.

Northwest returns starters D.J. Reed (Horn Lake), Taures Payne (Hoover, Ala.) and Nathan Perry (Germantown) up front in addition to Devonte Lloyd, Tahji Gilbert and Tyren Irby. The unit had 93 tackles-for-loss and 32 sacks in 2017, a year after breaking a 24-year-old school record with 117 tackles-for-loss and 46 sacks.

Linebackers Robert Miller, Brandon Pierre and Jonathan Jones, three of the team’s top six tacklers from a year ago, return to lead a fairly young corps.

Freshmen Quentin Wilfawn (Oxford), Dee Rule (Lake Cormorant) and Cordarius Watson (Olive Branch) will all fit in the rotation. Wilfawn is the most touted of the newcomers. The SES Mississippi 5A Player of the Year and finalist for 2017 WBCI EndZone Defensive Player of the Year racked up 169 tackles as a senior and led Mississippi 5A in tackles as a junior with 171 stops.

Brandin Echols is the lone starter back in the secondary. The Southaven product is ranked No. 56 on 247Sports’ JUCO Top 100 and already holds offers from Houston, Ole Miss, Florida Atlantic, Minnesota, Kentucky and Southern Miss among others. Malik Sanders and Kenderius Glenn are the only other two sophomores back and both saw decent reps as freshmen.

Although very young and inexperienced, the defensive secondary is loaded with talent under fifth-year position coach Jonathan Webster. Former WVU signee Jayce Rogers (Valdosta, Ga.), former Ole Miss signee Cam White (Madison Central), Christian Cain (Grenada), Jerrick Reed II (Olive Branch) and South Alabama transfer Devin Rockette are just a few newcomers to watch.

Webster’s stingy secondary has combined to pick off 46 passes in addition to 119 breakups, 20 forced fumbles and nine blocked kicks over his first four seasons.

Sixteen of Webster’s former players have gone on to sign scholarships to compete at the next level, including eight to Division I programs over the last two seasons.

Benjy Parker is entering his 13th season as a junior college football coach and his third as the head coach at Northwest.

In 21 seasons overall as a collegiate coach, Parker has been a part of three NJCAA national championships with three different programs in Jones County, Butler (Kan.) and Northwest, and coached in 13 bowl games.

Parker was promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach on Feb. 17, 2016, and has guided the Rangers to back-to-back MACJC Championship game appearances, a 17-6 overall record, two bowl berths and a pair of NJCAA Top 10 national rankings. His .739 win percentage currently ranks second-best all-time.

Northwest boasted the MACJC’s No. 1 scoring defense and second-ranked total defense last season under Parker and is two years removed from breaking a 24-yearold school record with 117 tackles-for-loss and 46 sacks, 7th most in single season school history.

Northwest tied the 1992 national championship team with four shutouts last season, one shy of a school record, and held seven of its 11 opponents to three touchdowns or less.

Parker has coached 30 all-conference players in his first three seasons, 11 NJCAA All-Region 23 players and seven NJCAA All-Americans. Sixty-one of his players have signed with four-year programs via Northwest, including an impressive 42 to Division I programs.

Prior to Northwest, the Bruce 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.

2018 NORTHWEST FOOTBALL // NWCCRANGERS.COM

Prior to his stint at Troy, Parker served as the defensive coordinator at Northeast Mississippi Community College for two seasons (2004-05). At Northeast, Parker helped turn the Tigers into a national powerhouse, and in his final season, the Tigers were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation and finished with a 7-2 overall record.

They played in the Pilgrim’s Pride Bowl against Trinity Valley, the only bowl appearance in program history.

Prior to his two successful seasons at Northeast, Parker spent four seasons as linebackers coach at Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Kan. He coached four NJCAA All-Americans at Butler and helped the Grizzlies to the 2003 NJCAA National Championship.

Parker’s other coaching experience includes spending a summer as a graduate assistant at Louisiana-Monroe in 2000 and two seasons at Jones County Junior College (1998-99) where he helped the Bobcats to a perfect 12-0 record during the 1998 season and NJCAA National Championship.

Parker played at Itawamba Community College (1993-94), later earned his bachelor’s in exercise science from Ole Miss (1998) and finished his master’s degree in education at William Carey University (2000).

Parker is married to the former Emily Moore of Calhoun County and the couple has one daughter, Mary Hasting (9).

Stan Hill is entering his third season as offensive coordinator for the Rangers, coming off eight successful seasons at Oxford High School.

An Oxford native with Tupelo roots, Hill’s offensive scheme is a run-and-gun, pass-friendly approach.

The Rangers ranked fifth in the NJCAA in total offense last season, up from 22nd in Hill’s first year. Northwest had the MACJC’s second-ranked total offense (485.5 ypg) and fourth-best scoring offense (37.3 ppg), including 66 and 61-point games vs rival East Mississippi.

Northwest boasted two 1,000-yard rushers in his first season in Quarderman Sloan and Tywun Walters, a program-first, giving the Rangers an MACJC-best streak of three straight seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher. The Rangers rushed a schoolrecord 515 times for 2,081 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2016.

Hill has coached eight all-conference selections in his first two seasons, including offensive linemen Damien Lewis (LSU), a two-time NJCAA All-American, Tairek Johnson (USM) and J.R. Burns (Murray State) and running backs Tywun Walters (South Alabama) and Kevin Perkins (Troy).

Hill arrived at Oxford High School in 2008 and his offense was one of the premier in the state in the last five seasons in numerous categories. The Chargers advanced to the playoffs in six of his eight seasons, including three consecutive 5A state title games, and posted double digit wins in each of the past four seasons.

The last four starting quarterbacks that have played for Hill, Jack Abraham (Southern Mississippi), Clay Holgorsen (Northwestern State), Parker Adamson (Southern Mississippi) and Guy Billups (Rice), all signed with NCAA Division I programs as well as multiple receivers, tight ends and linemen under his offensive system.

Abraham threw for 12,021 career yards and 130 touchdowns and was named the Gatorade 5A

Player of the Year, USA Today Mississippi Offensive Player of the Year and ClarionLedger 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 grew up in a very athletic family, the son of legendary Oxford High School coach Johnny Hill and the youngest of four brothers who were also all-star athletes.

Hill played collegiately at Marshall University from 2001-04, quarterbacking the Thundering Herd to a combined 36-14 record, 2002 MAC Championship and two GMAC bowl victories over East Carolina and Louisville.

Hill threw for 4,711 career yards (10th in school history) and 38 touchdowns (8th, school history) and also rushed for six career touchdowns, including a last-second 1-yard run in place of an injured Byron Leftwich to beat Ben Roethlisberger and Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 13, 2002.

As a junior, Hill’s 165.9 quarterback rating was the second-highest in the nation while his 69.6 completion percentage ranked fourth nationally. Entering his senior season, he was one of 22 candidates for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and was named to the Davey O’Brien Award Watch List.

After graduation from Marshall, Hill tried out for several NFL teams before going on to play in the Arena Football League (AFL) with Memphis, Oklahoma City and New Orleans.

He signed with Memphis’ AFL2 franchise, then was traded to Bossier City where he suffered a season-ending injury after only three games. Hill was then named the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz’s starting quarterback, beating out three others for the job, and went on to be named conference MVP. Hampered by injuries, Hill eventually had to hang up playing the game he loved and decided to turn his attention to coaching.

Hill is married to the former Lauren Scott, an all-conference women’s soccer player at Marshall, and the couple have three boys Wade (9), Tate (7) and Reed (4).

Ten-year MACJC veteran and Starkville native Travis Macon is set to enter his fifth season as the defensive line coach at Northwest.

Macon has made his unit arguably one of the most talented in the MACJC and prepared them to be impact players at the four-year level.

Northwest boasted the MACJC’s top scoring defense (19.5 ppg) and second-ranked total defense (302.3 ypg) last year, with the guys up front a big reason for that.

Northwest had 93 tackles-for-loss and 32 sacks in 2017, a year after breaking a 24-year-old school record with 117 tackles-for-loss and 46 sacks.

Northwest tied the 1992 national championship team with four shutouts last season, one shy of a school record, and held seven of its 11 opponents to three touchdowns or less.

A dozen linemen have continued on to the four-year level under Macon at Northwest, including 10 to Division I programs such as Ole Miss, Louisville, West Virginia and Kansas.

Macon spent the 2008-13 seasons at his alma mater, Northeast Mississippi. After coaching the offensive line in 2008, Macon moved over to the other side of the ball

and worked with the defensive line and as defensive coordinator for five seasons. The Tigers were nationally-ranked and made their first playoff appearance in six years in 2011.

Macon coached 13 to four-year schools while at Northeast, including Daryl Petty (Northwestern Oklahoma State), Heath Blount (South Alabama), LaVon Hooks (Ole Miss/Pittsburgh Steelers), Mario Addison (Troy University/Carolina Panthers), Bernard Smith (Louisiana), Pat Moore (South Alabama), Anthony Brown (Memphis), John Brown (Valdosta State/AFL), B.J. Taylor (Tennessee-Chattanooga), Anthony Payne (Murray State), Emmanuel Dudley (Troy), Jeremy Liggins (Ole Miss/Indianapolis Colts) and Nicholas Thompson (Louisiana Tech).

Between Northeast and Northwest, Macon has helped send 25 players on to fouryear schools and a handful have played professional football.

During his high school career, Macon helped the Starkville High Yellowjackets win back-to-back state titles from 1995-97. After graduation, 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.

Macon and his wife, Deimara, have three children Haleih (12), Brian (10) and Ambrielle (8).

Jim Jones enters his eighth season as the offensive line coach at Northwest as part of a second stint with the Rangers.

Northwest has ranked in the Top 25 in the NJCAA in rushing in all but one of Jones’ seven seasons and has rushed for 2,000 yards in three consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. Quarderman Sloan and Tywun Walters, both Division I signees, became the first running back duo to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season in 2016.

Jones’ offensive line was outstanding in 2017, allowing just nine sacks in 832 plays from scrimmage and paving the way for the NJCAA’s fifth ranked total offense (485.5 ypg) and 11th-best scoring offense (37.3 ppg). The Rangers rolled up over 500 yards of offense five times and dropped 66 and 61 points on East Mississippi.

The Rangers boasted the MACJC’s leading rusher in 2014 and 2015 in NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year Justin Crawford, a free agent signee of the Atlanta Falcons.

Kevin Perkins, who inked with Troy, ranked fifth in the conference in rushing last year with 884 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Jones spent the 2013 season as the offensive line coach at Pearl River Community College before returning to Northwest.

In his first stint with the Ranger football program from 2010-12, Jones’ offensive line helped pave the way for the nation’s third-ranked offense in 2012 (434.1 ypg), fifth-ranked offense (485.4 ypg) in 2011 and 10th-ranked offense (413.6 ypg) in 2010.

The Rangers averaged 198.5 yards on the ground in those three years, rushed for 200 or more in 15 games and eclipsed 500 yards of total offense 11 times. Northwest exploded for a season-high 439 yards rushing in a 66-41 win over Holmes in 2011, the third-most rushing yards in single-game school history.

Backed by a pair of First Team All-MACJC selections and NJCAA First Team AllAmerican Donald Hawkins, 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.

Jones has helped develop 20 players who’ve moved on to the four-year level after Northwest, including 14 to NCAA Division I programs. Two-time NJCAA All-American Damien Lewis (LSU), Tairek Johnson (USM), Donald Hawkins (Texas), Terry Johnson (Louisiana), Terrance Malone (Arkansas), Chase Johnson (Arkansas State), Chris Phillips (Southeastern Louisiana), Jermaine Jones (Southeastern Louisiana), Keenen

Davis (UT Martin) and J.R. Burns (Murray State) are some of the most prized Division I signees during his tenure.

Jones came to Northwest in 2009 from Lake Forest College where he served as offensive line/tight ends coach, run-game coordinator and athletic recruiter.

Prior to Lake Forest, Jones spent two seasons as a graduate assistant with the offensive line at the University of Virginia where the Cavaliers were 14-11 during his two seasons and appeared in the Gator Bowl following the 2007 season. After giving up 33 sacks in 2007 (2.54 sacks/game), the Cavaliers improved significantly by giving up just 16 during the 2008 season (1.33 sacks/game).

Jones played his college ball at Notre Dame from 1996-2000, playing in 24 career games (21 starts) and being recruited by legendary head coach Lou Holtz. He started at left guard his final two seasons for head coach Bob Davie after playing just three games combined over his first three seasons. He played a key role in helping the Fighting Irish rank 14th nationally in rushing and 17th in passing efficiency during the 2000 season.

Jones was an All-Independent selection by Collegefootballnews.com at seasons’ end and was selected to play in the Rotary Gridiron Classic All-Star game in Orlando.

Jones received his degree in sociology in 2000.

He went on to play in the National Football League for six seasons, spending time with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and world champion Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2001-06 seasons. He was twice named the Steelers’ Player of the Game during the 2004 season.

A product of the Mississippi junior college system, Jonathan Webster enters his fifth season coaching defensive backs for the Rangers.

Webster’s stingy secondary has combined to pick off 46 passes in addition to 119 breakups, 20 forced fumbles and nine blocked kicks over his first four seasons. The 2016 unit totaled 15 interceptions, the most by a secondary in nearly a decade.

All-conference safety Turner Rotenberry returned three interceptions for touchdowns last season to give him four for his career and break a 17-year old school record. Kaleb Chalmers’ 13 breakups and Tito Windham’s 10 both ranked in the top 15 in the country nationally in 2016.

Sixteen of Webster’s former players at Northwest have gone on to sign scholarships to compete at the next level, including eight to Division I programs over the last two seasons alone in Marlon Character Jr. (Louisville), All-American Joshua Norwood (West Virginia), Chris Stamps (Middle Tennessee), Kaleb Chalmers (South Carolina), All-American Tito Windham (Memphis), Fred Garth Jr. (Bowling Green), Wesley Bush (Middle Tennessee) and K.T. McCollin (Southeast Missouri).

All-American Treston DeCoud (Oregon State) was a fifth-round selection of the Houston Texans in 2017 and Marcel Newson (Mississippi College) spent time in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp in 2016.

Prior to the start of the 2017 season, Webster spent a month with the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons as a Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship Coach. He worked hands on with head coach Dan Quinn and worked with multiple defensive positions while being involved in cut-ups and film breakdown. He was on the field for the Falcons’ first preseason game against Miami. He returned to Atlanta to work the 2018 camp as well as the first preseason game in N.Y. 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.

Webster not only stood out on the field for the Wonder Boys but the Mississippi native also focused his concentration in the classroom. He was twice named to the ESPN The Magazine/College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District VI team — just the 27th Wonder Boy to garner the honor.

Webster graduated from Arkansas Tech in 2008 with a bachelor’s in sociology and later received his master’s from Southern Mississippi in psychology in 2012.

The Batesville native is married to the former Bridget Riley. The couple have two daughters, Kenadie (12) and Nori (1), and a son, Kaleb (11).

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.

#5 NORTHWEST PEARL RIVER

Northwest raced out to a 27-0 lead in the second quarter, highlighted by Turner Rotenberry’s 31yard interception return for a touchdown and Chris Stamps’ 58-yard blocked field goal return for a score, and never looked back en route to a 34-21 victory over Pearl River to open the season.

Northwest, who had its season-opener against Hinds declared a no-contest a week ago, won their fourth straight over PRCC, who fell to 1-1 after an upset over Northeast last week.

After the first two Ranger scores came by way of the defense and special teams, the offense responded with back-to-back scoring drives in the second quarter to make it a four touchdown lead.

Jack Abraham hit Jerrick Orr for a 12-yard touchdown to cap a six-play, 84-yard drive, and Quarderman Sloan scurried in from eight yards out to cap a 56 second scoring drive thanks to great starting field position.

PRCC was able to get on the scoreboard with minutes left in the first half, stringing together an eight-play, 90-yard drive, capped off by a 52-yard touchdown toss in stride from Justin Agner to Tyler Polk.

The Wildcats cut the deficit in half, 27-14, with 3:46 left in the third quarter, as Caleb Batie found paydirt from 12 yards out.

A quick answer from the Rangers in just 2:19 put the game out of reach. Kevin Perkins scored his first collegiate touchdown from 15 yards out to cap a six-play, 70-yard drive and stretch the lead to 34-14.

Agner’s 48-yard touchdown strike to Malcom Staten with 7:22 left to play provided the final score of the night.

Northwest outgained PRCC 408-375 but was just 3-of-7 in the red zone.

Abraham finished 16-for-25 for 211 yards, a touchdown and an interception in his collegiate debut, completing 13 of his final 17 attempts and connecting with seven different receivers. Orr had a team-high 67 yards receiving and a score, followed by Pro Wells (3-45), Cole Rotenberry (3-35) and JaVonta Payton (3-28).

Perkins led four Ranger running backs with 15 carries for 71 yards and a score, while Monta Thomas had 60 yards, Sloan had 31 and a touchdown and Billy Kimble added 31 yards.

Defensively, Northwest finished with eight tackles-for-loss, three sacks and two interceptions.

Joshua Norwood and Keith Brown Jr. led the way with eight and seven tackles, respectively.

Tariqious Tisdale had two of the Rangers’ three sacks.

#5 NORTHWEST ITAWAMBA

The fifth-ranked Northwest Rangers rolled up 500 yards of total offense but turned the ball over three times, missed three field goals and allowed a 95-yard kick return for a score in a 27-24 upset loss to Itawamba at Eaton Field.

From the first snap of the game, a false start penalty, and the first play from scrimmage, a pick six, it appeared to be Itawamba’s night.

The host Indians used Jarvis Hayes’ 34-yard interception return for a touchdown and followed that with a seven-play, 76-yard scoring drive to jump out to a 14-0 lead just 4:50 into the game.

Demarcus Jones’ ensuing 75-yard kick return down to the Itawamba 20-yard line gave the Rangers some signs of life, and Northwest was able to punch it in the end zone 20 seconds later on Jack Abraham’s 9-yard touchdown toss to JaVonta Payton to make it 14-7.

The Indians marched 63 yards on 15 plays a possession later down to the Rangers’ 12-yard line before Chris Stamps’ interception in the end zone kept it a one score game.

Back-to-back lengthy drives for Northwest down to the Itawamba 2-yard line and 8-yard line resulted in only three points, with Drake McCarter’s 19-yard field goal blocked before connecting on a 25-yarder to make it 14-10 late second quarter.

The ensuing McCarter kickoff was fielded at the 5-yard line by Keshon Heard, a former Ranger, who took it the distance 95 yards to give Itawamba a 21-10 lead at the half.

Both teams came up empty on a pair of drives to start the third quarter before Abraham marched the Rangers 76 yards on eight plays to cut it to a 21-17 game at the end of three. Abraham was 3-for-4 on the drive for 43 yards and Monta Thomas had big gains of 15 and 10 yards, making way for Quarderman Sloan’s 13-yard touchdown run.

After the Ranger defense forced a three-and-out to start the fourth quarter, Northwest traveled 99 yards on 10 plays to take its first lead of the game, 24-21, with 10:53 to play.

The lead was short-lived, however, as Itawamba responded less than three minutes later.

Dan Ellington connected with Jamel Thomas for a 38-yard gain on the first play of the drive to setup the Indians deep into Ranger territory, but it quickly turned to a fourth-and-two at the Northwest 29-yard line. Kadarius Forside reached the line to gain and Itawamba would score three plays later on Ellington’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Thomas to make it 27-24. The ensuing PAT was blocked to keep it a field goal game.

Northwest had three different cracks at a chance to take the lead or force overtime with 7:50 to play, but missed a 46-yard field goal, threw an interception and missed another 43-yard field goal to suffer the heartbreaking loss.

#17 NORTHWEST #3 HOLMES

Northwest piled up a season-high 580 total yards and held the nation’s No. 3 offense, Holmes, to nearly half its season average in a 33-13 statement win at Ras Branch Stadium.

In a battle of NJCAA Top 20 teams, No. 17 Northwest won for the 14th time in 15 tries over No. 3 Holmes to improve to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the north division. Holmes suffered its first loss of the year in moving to 4-1 and 2-1.

Northwest dominated in the game’s first 30 minutes, but only led 13-7 at the half due to three missed chip shot field goals and an interception return for a touchdown.

Jack Abraham’s 10-yard touchdown toss to JaVonta Payton capped a nine-play, 84-yard drive to put the Rangers up 7-0 in the first quarter.

It was 13-0 with 4:22 to play in the first half on a 26-yard touchdown strike from Abraham to Cole Rotenberry immediately after Rotenberry’s 33-yard punt return setup the Rangers deep in Holmes territory.

Holmes’ opening score of the night came on a 61-yard interception return by Martavious Adams right before the half, with Adams benefiting off a tipped ball off the hands of a Ranger receiver.

Northwest picked up offensively in the second half right where they left off, this time capitalizing with three straight touchdown drives to open up a 33-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Monta Thomas capped a pair of quick drives with touchdown runs of two and 48 yards and Abraham hit Payton in stride for a 27-yard touchdown strike.

Northwest’s defense was solid all night in defending the Bulldogs’ triple-option and also forced three turnovers on downs, blocked a field goal and picked off a pass.

Holmes backup quarterback Jesse Wilson managed an 11-play, 57-yard drive for the Bulldogs’ final score of the night to make it 33-13, capped off by a 12-yard touchdown pass to Steven Burdette.

A balanced Ranger attack saw Abraham throw for 367 yards and three touchdowns on 20-of-26 aim, while Kevin Perkins (16-106), Thomas (14-70-2) and others combined for 213 on the ground.

Holmes was held to 9-of-16 passing for 115 yards and rushed for 206, led by Cameryn Brent’s 85 yards.

Brandon Pierre led the Rangers with nine tackles, followed by Malik Sanders and Keith Brown Jr. with eight apiece. Hal Northern added a sack, breakup, quarterback hurry and three tackles.

COAHOMA #11 NORTHWEST

Jack Abraham threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, Monta Thomas and Quarderman Sloan each scored on the ground and the Ranger defense held a fourth straight opponent under its season average in total yards in a 35-0 blanking of Coahoma at Bobby Franklin Field.

Northwest, ranked 11th nationally, won its 14th consecutive home game in improving to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in the north division, while Coahoma fell to 1-5 and 0-4 in division play.

Since a 27-24 setback at Itawamba, Northwest has outscored its last three opponents 109-13 with a pair of shutouts.

A 79-yard touchdown strike from Abraham to Jamario Dixon on the Rangers’ opening drive of the night set the tone as Northwest went over 500 yards of total offense for a third time this season.

The lead was 14-0 minutes into the second quarter, with Thomas scoring from nine yards out to cap an 8-play, 91-yard drive. Northwest only threw one pass on the drive and Sloan’s 37-yard carry down to the Coahoma 22-yard line setup the quick score.

After a fourth down stop at the Coahoma 49-yard line, Northwest drove the distance of the field in 2:50, with Abraham’s 17-yard touchdown strike to tight end Pro Wells, the first of his career, making it a 21-0 lead at the break.

The Rangers would score on their opening drive of the third quarter, with Abraham hitting JaVonta Payton from 19 yards out, and again late in the fourth quarter on a five-yard score by Sloan, to make the final tally 35-0.

Northwest’s defense picked up its second shutout of the year and second consecutive over Coahoma in holding the Tigers to 157 total yards on 57 plays.

Abraham, the reigning MACJC and NJCAA Offensive Player of the Week, completed 12-of-17 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Wells had a team-high 85 yards and a score.

Sloan, Thomas and Kevin Perkins combined for 190 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns, with Sloan going for 87 yards on 11 carries.

Trey Mitchell was 13-of-27 for 119 yards with two interceptions and was sacked twice.

Jonathan Jones led the Rangers with seven tackles, while Hal Northern, a recent Ole Miss commit, had six tackles, 3.5 for loss, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Malik Sanders and Marlon Character Jr. had both Ranger interceptions.

Cecil Cherry had a game-high 16 tackles for Coahoma, followed by Rejohn Franklin with 12.

Northwest piled up 566 yards of total offense, rushed for six touchdowns and put the icing on the cake with a pick six late in the game to crush No. 1 East Mississippi 61-38 in front of a schoolrecord crowd at Bobby Franklin Field.

Northwest got EMCC on its home turf for the first time since 2014 and made a statement by handing the Lions their worst loss in seven years. It snapped EMCC’s nation-best 17-game winning streak and 28-game north division streak.

The game was won in the trenches, with the Rangers’ monster offensive and defensive lines dominating for four quarters.

After falling behind 3-0 on the opening drive of the game, it was all Northwest after that.

Northwest (5-1, 4-1) took its second drive of the night 68 yards on seven plays, capped by Kevin Perkins’ one-yard touchdown run, to go ahead for good 7-3.

All three Ranger second quarter possessions resulted in touchdowns, two on the ground and one on a beautiful throw and catch from Jack Abraham to JaVonta Payton to make it 21-10.

Monta Thomas’ three-yard touchdown run made it 27-17 with minutes left before half and the Rangers then blocked a Taylor Crabtree field goal attempt from 41 yards to keep it a 10 point lead.

Receiving the second half kickoff, Northwest marched 75 yards on seven plays in 2:53 to extend the lead to 34-17 early in the third when Abraham hit Payton again from nine yards out.

EMCC (6-1, 4-1) cut the lead back to 34-24 after three quarters, traveling 80 yards on 18 plays, capped by Lindsey Scott Jr.’s nine yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams.

Two quick Ranger touchdowns to start the fourth quarter extended Northwest’s lead back to 47-24, with Abraham scoring on a 10-yard quarterback keeper and Quarderman Sloan finding the end zone from three yards out.

Brandin Echols’ 66-yard interception return for a score was the final dagger, with the freshman going untouched into the end zone to make it 54-31 and send the Ranger faithful into a frenzy.

Monta Thomas’ second rushing touchdown of the night made it 61-31 with 3:57 to play before EMCC added a late score a couple minutes later.

Northwest won its fifth straight game overall and 11th consecutive over East Central to move to 6-1 on the season. The Warriors dropped their sixth straight game to fall to 1-7 on the year.

Quarderman Sloan eclipsed the century mark for the fifth time of his career, rushing for a season-high 129 yards and three touchdowns, and Kevin Perkins added 89 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, as all five Ranger scores came on the ground in the first half.

East Central’s failed onside kick attempt to start the game gave Northwest the ball at the Warrior 45-yard line and they immediately made it hurt with a five-play scoring drive and Perkins touchdown in 1:42.

Northwest would score on all three of its first quarter possessions, adding a career-long 59-yard touchdown run from Perkins at the 9:52-mark and Sloan’s first of three scores at the 3:59-mark, to go ahead 21-0 after one.

A muffed Warrior punt to start the second quarter, caused and recovered by Brandin Echols, led to a Drake McCarter 22-yard field goal to make it 24-0.

Behind the big guys up front, Sloan would lead the Rangers to two more scoring drives to close out the first half, scoring from two and nine yards out.

Northwest outgained the Warriors 345-44 the opening 30 minutes and led 38-0 to trigger a running clock the second half.

Each team had just three possessions in the third and fourth quarters combined, with Billy Kimble getting a bulk of the work on the ground and Robert Wilcke under center.

Starter Jack Abraham was 10-for-16 for 107 yards, hitting Cole Rotenberry a team-high four times for 49 yards.

The Ranger defense boasted its third shutout in five games, holding EC to three first downs and 70 total yards (seven rushing on 20 attempts).

Keith Brown Jr. led all Rangers with eight tackles, while Devonte Lloyd added five tackles and D.J. Reed chipped in two tackles, a forced fumble and sack.

Northwest used a pair of Kevin Perkins 2-yard rushing scores and a 33-yard touchdown strike from Jack Abraham to Jerrick Orr in the second half to overcome a slow start and pull away for a 32-0 win over division rival Northeast at Tiger Stadium.

Northwest won its sixth straight game to improve to 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the north division, shutting out a fourth opponent in the last six games. The win also helped the Rangers claim their 13th division title in program history to go along with 12 runner-up finishes.

After a 40-yard completion from Desmond Hunter to Ross Painter on the first play from scrimmage, Northwest’s stingy defense allowed just 74 total yards (minus-21 rushing) the rest of the night on 43 plays.

Northwest got off to a sluggish start offensively and led just 3-0 early in the second quarter on a season-long Drake McCarter 39-yard field goal.

Abraham’s 28-yard strike to JaVonta Payton with 43 seconds left in the first half gave the Rangers a little breathing room up 10-0, capping a nine-play, 71-yard drive.

The Rangers received the second half kick, which was an unsuccessful onside-kick attempt from Northeast, but couldn’t capitalize in Tiger territory down to the 25-yard line.

Northwest’s second possession of the third quarter resulted in a score, with Quarderman Sloan and Perkins combining for six carries to move it down the field and Abraham finding Jerrick Orr for a big 27-yard gain. Perkins then muscled it in from 2-yards out and Cole Rotenberry added a two-point conversion on a bad snap to make it 18-0 with 3:48 left in the quarter.

Northwest’s defense pinned its ears back and continued to apply pressure, forcing three consecutive three-and-outs and using sacks from Keith Brown Jr., D.J. Reed and Nathan Perry.

Back-to-back touchdown drives early in the fourth quarter, a 33-yard strike from Abraham to Orr, and Perkins 2-yard rushing score, quickly made it 32-0 with just over 10 minutes left to play.

Northwest was then able to salt away the final 7:19 with a 10-play drive to preserve its fourth shutout of the year, the most since the Rangers’ 1992 national championship season.

Abraham finished 20-of-31 for 212 yards and two touchdown passes, hitting Orr a game-high eight times for 102 yards and a score. Rotenberry added six grabs for 61 yards. Sloan had 112 yards on the ground behind Perkins’ two scores.

Joshua Norwood had a team-high nine tackles – all in the first half – while Brown added eight tackles, two breakups and half a sack. The team finished with 10 tackles-for-loss, four sacks and five breakups.

#12 HINDS #4 NORTHWEST

13 27

Northwest’s defense once again set the tone in a 27-13 MACJC Semifinal win over Hind, picking off three passes and adding 11 tackles-for-loss, three sacks, six breakups and a forced fumble to advance to a third straight conference championship game.

Northwest won its seventh straight game – all by two touchdowns or more – and 16th consecutive at Bobby Franklin Field to improve to 8-1 overall. Hinds’ season came to a close at 6-3.

Turner Rotenberry got the game started off with a bang, picking off his sixth career pass and returning it 41 yards for a touchdown on the second play from scrimmage to give the Rangers an early 7-0 lead. It was the sophomore’s third career pick six.

Neither team could find much of an offensive rhythm the remainder of the first half, with several long drives resulting in punts.

Northwest strung together a game-changing, eight-play, 73-yard drive right before half, capped off by Kevin Perkins’ 1-yard touchdown run, to take momentum into the half with a 13-0 lead.

Receiving the second half kickoff, the Rangers got a big 35-yard return from Brandin Echols and added a 15-yard facemask penalty to take over at midfield. Five plays later, Jack Abraham hit Jerrick Orr for a 14-yard touchdown to extend the Northwest lead to 20-0.

Two lengthy Hinds drives in the third quarter both resulted in Spencer Cole field goals from 34 and 24 yards as the Eagles closed the gap to 20-6 after three quarters.

Hinds’ fifth unsportsmanlike conduct penalty helped setup the Rangers’ fourth touchdown seconds into the fourth quarter, with Perkins’ 1-yard run capping a nine-play, 72-yard drive to make it 27-6.

A quarterback switch for the Eagles resulted in the best drive of the day for Hinds, with Eric Clark leading an eight-play, 88-yard touchdown drive to make it 27-13 with 8:46 to play.

Northwest was then able to salt away most of the game down the stretch with just two pass attempts and a heavy dose of Perkins, Quarderman Sloan and Monta Thomas.

Perkins finished with a game-high 72 yards and two scores, a fourth straight game with multiple touchdown runs. Abraham was 16-of-27 for 255 yards, a touchdown and interception to go over 2,200 yards for the season.

Cole Rotenberry was one of seven Rangers to catch a pass, finishing with five grabs for 94 yards.

Keith Brown Jr., T. Rotenberry and Brandon Pierre set the tone for the Ranger defense, with Brown finishing with a career-high 14 tackles and 1.5 sacks, Rotenberry adding 10 tackles, two picks, three breakups and forced fumble and Pierre chipping in eight tackles and a sack.

#1 EAST MISSISSIPPI #4 NORTHWEST

67 66

In an instant classic at Bobby Franklin Field that featured plenty of offense and hard-hitting, game-changing plays all over the field from both teams, No. 1 East Mississippi rallied from a touchdown deficit with eight seconds left in regulation and connected on a 2-point conversion in double overtime to beat No. 4 Northwest 67-66 in the MACJC Championship game.

Northwest and EMCC showcased their revived rivalry in front of another capacity crowd and proved that they are the two best junior college teams in the state of Mississippi. The Rangers still lead the all-time series 41-24-1.

EMCC improved to 10-1 and has all but solidified its spot in the NJCAA national championship game next month, while Northwest fell to 8-2 and had a 16-game home winning streak snapped.

The Rangers will await one of nine possible bowl bids, which will be announced this week.

What was a 23-17 EMCC lead at the half turned into an absolute shootout in the second.

Tyrell Price’s third rushing touchdown of the day matched the Lions’ largest lead, 37-24, with 40 seconds left in the third quarter before the Rangers came storming back in the fourth.

A six-play, 89-yard scoring drive, capped by an 18-yard strike from Jack Abraham to Quarderman Sloan, cut the deficit to 37-31, and minutes later, a Marlon Character Jr. blocked field goal would setup another Ranger score.

A high snap on a 36-yard Taylor Crabtree field goal attempt led to the block and was returned by Chris Stamps into Lion territory. Five plays later, Abraham hit Jerrick Orr for a 12-yard touchdown to put Northwest on top 38-37 with 10:11 to play.

With all the momentum on the Rangers’ side, Turner Rotenberry stepped in front of a Lindsey Scott Jr. pass on EMCC’s ensuing drive and returned it 51 yards for a touchdown to cap 21 unanswered points and send the Northwest crowd into a frenzy. It was Rotenberry’s third pick six of the season and fourth of his Ranger career, a new school record.

Leading 45-37 with 8:03 to play and trying to salt away the clock while moving the chains, a Monta Thomas fumble on the Rangers’ own 49-yard line gave the Lions new life.

EMCC would capitalize just 38 seconds later, with Scott finding Price on the Northwest sideline and taking it the distance 44 yards for a touchdown. The 2-point conversion from Scott to Mike Williams was good to tie the game at 45-45 with 4:27 left.

Northwest calmly put together a six-play, 75-yard scoring drive to push back ahead 52-45, with Abraham finding JaVonta Payton for a 7-yard touchown.

Northwest had it first-and-goal at the EMCC 7-yard line with the chance to run more clock, possibly scoring too early to give the ball back to the nation’s second-ranked offense with 2:06 left.

Scott and EMCC went to work from their own 33-yard line and proceeded to drive 67 yards in 1:55, finding the game-tying touchdown to make it 52-52 with eight seconds left when Scott found Dontario Drummond from nine yards out.

Northwest won the toss in overtime and elected to go on defense first.

EMCC only needed two plays to find the go-ahead score, with Scott finding Daniel Crowell Jr. from 19 yards to make it 59-52.

A 14-yard completion from Abraham to Demarcus Jones down to the 11-yard line setup Kevin Perkins’ third rushing score of the day to tie the game again at 59-59 to force double overtime.

The Rangers only needed one play, a 25-yard strike from Abraham to Orr, to go ahead 66-59 in the second overtime.

With EMCC facing third-and-five at the Northwest 20-yard line, Scott found Drummond again for the touchdown and the Lions elected to go for two. A perfect play call then allowed Scott to find a wide-open Crowell in the left side of the end zone for the 67-66 win.

The teams combined for 1,302 yards and 18 touchdowns on 175 plays, but it all came down to the two-point conversion in double overtime to decide a winner.

Abraham was 34-of-52 for 487 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, connecting with Orr a team-high 10 times for 122 yards and two scores. Perkins finished with 116 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Scott was 29-of-44 for 471 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, with Drummond catching 11 passes for 131 yards and three scores. Scott added 104 yards on 20 carries.

Emanuel Bridges led EMCC defensively with 20 tackles, a forced fumble and interception.

Rotenberry had 14 tackles and an interception in addition to 11 tackles, two sacks and 3.5 TFL for Keith Brown Jr. Northwest sacked Scott six times on the day, two apiece from Hal Northern, Brown and Tariqious Tisdale.

Playing in its third straight bowl game, Northwest allowed 17 unanswered points in the first half and could never recover in falling to Iowa Western in the 2017 Graphic Edge Bowl.

Northwest scored on its first two possessions to take a 10-0 lead with 3:22 left in the first quarter, including a nine-play, 99-yard scoring drive that culminated on Jack Abraham’s 11-yard touchdown pass to JaVonta Payton.

IWCC responded with an 11-play, 62-yard scoring drive to cut it to 10-7 after one, with Kai Locksley finding Anthony Turner for an 8-yard score. After missing a 45-yard field goal a drive earlier, Eddie Ogamba connected on a 28-yard field goal to make it 10-10 in the second quarter.

A quick three-and-out for Northwest allowed IWCC to drive 71 yards in 10 plays, capped by Locksley’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Perry to make it 17-10 with 1:12 left in the half.

On the ensuing kickoff, Northwest started from its own 46-yard line after a personal foul penalty and proceeded to drive it to the IWCC 21-yard line with time winding down. Drake McCarter was setup for a 38-yard field goal, and nailed it right down the middle, but IWCC called for a timeout to wipe it off. His second attempt was no good and the Rangers trailed by a touchdown at half.

Northwest took its opening possession of the second half 73 yards on nine plays with a nice balance of running and passing. Kevin Perkins and Quarderman Sloan helped march it down the field before Abraham’s 14-yard strike to tight end Pro Wells. McCarter’s PAT was no good and the Rangers trailed 17-16 with 11:25 left in the third.

IWCC immediately responded with a touchdown drive of its own to make it 23-16, traveling 84 yards on just seven plays, capped by Locksley’s 10-yard run. Mekhi Sargent was the workhorse on the drive, carrying it for 55 yards on three rushes.

Northwest took its third drive of the third quarter into IWCC territory quickly behind three bruising runs from Perkins and a personal foul penalty. Abraham then found Sloan for a 17-yard gain to the IWCC 20-yard line, but DJ Curtis punched the ball out of Sloan’s grasp and the ball shot 20 yards forward into the end zone for a touchback.

The Rangers’ next drive, which carried into the fourth quarter, went 81 yards on 18 plays over 7:15. But Northwest had to settle for a 28-yard field goal instead of the game-tying touchdown and the IWCC lead was 23-19 with 9:59 to play.

Back-to-back touchdown drives from IWCC over a four minute span then put the game out of reach, with Locksley throwing touchdown passes to Mike Hill and Nick Singleton.

Eight Rangers Earn Spot on 2017 All-MACJC Football Team Lewis, Northern garner MVP honors JACKSON – Eight members of the Northwest football team earned spots on the 2017 All-Conference Team, the league office announced Monday, Nov. 13 following the MACJC Championship Game.

Defensive tackle Hal Northern, offensive guard Damien Lewis, linebacker Keith Brown Jr., safety Joshua Norwood and offensive lineman Tairek Johnson were named to the first team, while second team selections went to safety Turner Rotenberry, wide receiver Cole Rotenberry and running back Kevin Perkins.

In addition, Northern was named the MACJC North Division defensive line MVP and Lewis was selected both the north division and NJCAA Region 23 offensive line MVP. NJCAA All-Region 23 honors went to Northern, Lewis, Brown, Norwood and Johnson, and all five were in the running for All-American honors.

Benjy Parker, who led Northwest to seven straight wins, No. 4 national ranking and 7-1 regular season record, was named the MACJC North Division’s Coach of the Year.

Northern, an Ole Miss commit, has 30 tackles, 14.5 for loss, seven sacks, two forced fumbles and one blocked kick on the season. His 30 career TFL ranks sixth all-time at Northwest.

Lewis, an LSU commit, and Johnson combined to pave the way for the nation’s seventh-ranked offense. Quarterback Jack Abraham is nearing 3,000 yards passing and three Ranger running backs have combined for 28 rushing touchdowns.

Brown has led the team in tackling for almost the whole season and has 81 total with 8.5 for loss, 4.5 sacks, three pass breakups and three quarterback hurries.

Norwood, a WVU commit, is third on the team with 57 tackles (31 solo), three breakups and one interception.

T. Rotenberry is second on the team with 64 tackles, four interceptions, three breakups and 2.5 tackles for loss. He has returned three interceptions for touchdowns this season and four in his career, setting a new Northwest record. His twin, Cole, is the Rangers’ leading receiver with 49 catches for 744 yards and a touchdown, averaging 15.2 yards per catch.

Perkins leads a three-headed rushing attack with 139 carries for 777 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Norwood also recognized as a JCGridiron.com All-American COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Northwest Mississippi sophomore defensive tackle Hal Northern and sophomore offensive guard Damien Lewis have been named to the 2017 NJCAA All-American Football Team, the organization announced Tuesday.

Northern earned first team honors, while Lewis was named to the second team for a second straight season, making him the first-ever two-time NJCAA All-American offensive lineman in program history.

The duo gives Northwest 113 All-American selections in its rich football history, including 11 over the last four seasons alone.

Northern finished his Ranger career with 81 tackles, 31.0 tackles-for-loss (5th most in school history) and 14 sacks in 23 games. He added nine quarterback hurries, three breakups, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick.

The three-star prospect and Ole Miss commit led Northwest’s 12th-ranked scoring defense with 15.5 tackles-for-loss and 7.5 sacks this season en route to being named the MACJC North Division’s defensive line MVP, first team all-conference and NJCAA All-Region 23.

Lewis wrapped up his Ranger career in style by being named an NJCAA Second Team All-American for a second straight season, something no other offensive lineman has ever accomplished at Northwest.

The three-star prospect and LSU commit helped pave the way for the nation’s sixth-ranked offense at 485.5 yards per game thanks to an unbelievable combination of power and foot speed that helped him grade out at the highest percentage of all Ranger offensive linemen.

What’s most impressive about Lewis is his balance in the classroom and on the field. The Canton product was named to the 2017 Capital One Academic All-District Football Team, 2016-17 MACJC All-Academic Team, 2016-17 NJCAA All-Academic Third Team and the spring 2017 Dean’s List.

Safety Joshua Norwood rounded out the list of Rangers to earn All-American honors, with the WVU signee being named a JCGridiron.com All-American along with Northern and Lewis.

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.

All-Time Bowl Appearances (12)

L

Kilgore 21, Northwest 20 • 1965 Shrine Bowl (Tyler, Texas)

W

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

The Northwest Ranger football team put the final touches on the school’s first-ever perfect season when they defeated Ferrum College on Dec. 5, 1982, to claim the Eastern Bowl Championship. After Ferrum scored with no time left to end the first half at 14-7 Rangers, the teams exchanged safeties in the fourth quarter when Bobby Gaston sacked the Panther quarterback and the Rangers deliberately gave up two points on a 4th-and-long situtation. As the clock ran out, Northwest closed the season with a 12-0-1 record.

T

Northwest 13, Ranger 13 • 1986 Roaring Ranger Bowl (Ranger, Texas)

L

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

W

Northwest and Ranger (Texas) battled to a 13-13 tie to move the Rangers’ all-time bowl record to 1-1-1.

Northwest jumped out in front early 14-0, but then lost the edge right before halftime in a 29-21 loss to Coffeyville in the 1987 Jayhawk Bowl.

Ricky Blake’s 29-yard touchdown run put the Rangers back in front 21-15 in the third, but the Red Ravens scored twice in the fourth, much to the liking of the home crowd of Coffeyville. “We never gave up and had a chance to win it right to the end,” head coach Bobby Franklin said.

Northwest 31, Kilgore 27 • 1989 Shrine Bowl (Tyler, Texas)

Led by running back Raymond Barksdale’s 122 yards rushing and two scores and a stellar defensive effort from linebacker Mike McClenton, who had 15 tackles and was named the Defensive MVP, Northwest became the second visiting team in Shrine Bowl history to register a win. “It was an outstanding year for us,” head coach Bobby Franklin said. “I think we proved ourselves one of the best JUCO teams in the nation. I’d say 12-1 isn’t too bad.”

L

NE Oklahoma A&M 49, Northwest 21 • 1991 Mid-America Bowl (Tulsa, Okla.)

W

Northwest 34, NE Oklahoma A&M 0 • 1992 Mid-America Bowl (Tulsa, Okla.)

152

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.

Twenty-one fourth quarter points slammed the door on Northwest’s hopes for a second national title in school history, as the Golden Norsemen took down the Rangers, 49-21. NEO forced five Northwest turnovers and out-gained the Rangers 360-294 on the day. Sophomore linebacker Cassius Ware ended his brilliant career at Northwest with 19 tackles (13 solo) and 3.0 tackles-for-loss, but was snubbed by bowl officials for postgame honors.

In a rematch of the 1991 national title game, Northwest got its revenge from a four touchdown defeat by blanking the Golden Norsemen, 34-0.

Northwest scored four times, including twice in the second half, and became just the second team all year to hold NEO under 27 points (Coffeyville).

The Rangers claimed their second national title (1982) and recorded the first-ever shutout in Mid-America Bowl history.

Middle Georgia 41, Northwest 3 • 1998 Mineral Water Bowl (Excelsior Springs, Mo.)

After taking a 3-0 lead on Les Binkley’s 36-yard first quarter field goal, the Rangers day went downhill as they surrendered 41 straight points to Middle Georgia in a 41-3 loss. Northwest turned it over six times that led to 27 Warrior points and were limited to 188 total yards after averaging 437.0 ypg during the season.

W

Northwest 47, Kilgore 36 • 2012 Brazos Valley Bowl (College Station, Texas)

W

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

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

Winning the NJCAA Football Championship Game in dominant fashion, No. 1 Northwest Mississippi defeated No. 2 Rochester (Minn.) 66-13 in Mississippi Bowl VIII. The Rangers accumulated 680 yards offensively – 486 passing and 194 rushing – and were forced to punt just once in the game. Northwest conceded just 250 yards to the Yellowjackets – 100 of which came in the fourth quarter. The Rangers’ pass rush was in constant pursuit of Rochester All-American QB Nick Rooney who was sacked four times and hit an additional six.

L

Trinity Valley 34, Northwest 24 • 2016 Heart of Texas Bowl (Copperas Cove, Texas)

L

Iowa Western 36, Northwest 19 • 2017 Graphic Edge Bowl (Cedar Falls, Iowa)

Northwest held one of the nation’s top offenses to 367 total yards and its second-lowest point total of the season but it wasn’t enough as Trinity Valley outlasted the Rangers 34-24 in the Heart of Texas Bowl on ESPN3. Tywun Walters rushed for 92 yards and two scores and Quarderman Sloan added 74 as both players rushed for over 1,000 yards on the season, a first in program history.

Fred Garth Jr., the HOT Defensive MVP, finished with a game-high 15 tackles, giving him a team-best 81 on the season.

Playing in its third straight bowl game, fifth-ranked Northwest allowed 17 unanswered points in the first half (after leading 10-0) and could never recover in falling 36-19 to third-ranked Iowa Western in the Graphic Edge Bowl at the UNI Dome. Iowa Western closed the season 11-1 with the win, while Northwest ended its season at 8-3. It marked the first-ever meeting between the programs. Northwest was held under 20 points for the first time since Oct. 15, 2015, and outgained 457-422 on the day.

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.

History

Gerald Hasselman DR. GERALD HASSELMAN, MEN’S BASKETBALL, 1964-66 Hasselman had his fair share of big performances while starring on the basketball court at Northwest.

As a member of the Ranger men’s basketball team from 1964-66, Hasselman finished with eight 30-point games, good for second all-time in program history, and concluded his Northwest basketball career by being named All-MACJC in the spring of 1966. Off the court, he was also selected to both the President’s and Dean’s Lists.

After Northwest, the Holly Springs native continued his academic and athletic career at Millsaps College from 1966-68. Off the court, Hasselman was a Dean’s List honoree and an active member of the International Relations Club and Omicron Delta Kappa.

Hasselman traded in his skills on the hardwood for a different kind of leadership in the public school system after graduation from Millsaps.

In the fall of 1968, he was hired as a coach and teacher at Warren Central High School in Vicksburg and was later promoted to assistant principal in 1971 and principal in 1975. While at Warren Central, Hasselman continued his education at Millsaps, acquiring a masters’ in history and an educational specialist in principalship in 1979.

After 18 years at Warren Central, Hasselman became principal at Oxford High School in 1986 and simultaneously took on a role as director of secondary curriculum for the Oxford School District, sparking a transition to higher administrative roles. In 1989, Hasselman earned a doctorate in educational leadership from Mississippi State, and shortly after that, became the director of the Mississippi Department of Education’s Bureau of School Improvement before becoming the Associate State Superintendent for Academic Education in 1993.

In 1997, he became the Director of Education at William Carey College’s Coast campus while also returning to the classroom as a Professor of Education. After a brief stint in Eugene, Oregon, as the assistant principal at John F. Kennedy Middle School, Hasselman returned to William Carey in 2000 to his previous position and later moved to his current position as the Director of Educational Leadership at Mississippi College in 2003.

Hasselman has made numerous presentations and has served in various leadership opportunities throughout his career, including roles as a trainer for the National Association of Secondary School Principals’ Assessment Center, a participant in Vanderbilt University’s Principal Institute and as a Task Force member for the Mississippi Training Manual for School Safety and Crisis Management.

Don Edwards

DON EDWARDS, HEAD BASKETBALL COACH, 1987-PRESENT Edwards enters his 31st season as Northwest’s head women’s basketball coach entering the 2017-18 season and has been a part of the staff for the last 34 years, starting in 1983 as an assistant under the late Harry Adair.

During his tenure as head coach, Edwards has led the Lady Rangers to 17 NJCAA Region XXIII and three NJCAA National Tournament Appearances, as well as a pair of MACJC championships in 1995 and 1996. His career record at Northwest stands at 447-310 (.590), posting 22 winning seasons overall and four seasons with 20 or more wins.

With all his success, Edwards has received numerous Coach of the Year recognitions. He was named Region XXIII and District 16 Coach of the Year in 1990, 1996, 1998 and 2005, MACJC Coach of the Year in 1989 and 1990 and was MAC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year in 1990, 1995 and 1996.

Edwards led the Lady Rangers to a 16-6 overall mark and a 9-3 record in the north division two years ago. The Lady Rangers advanced to the MACJC and Region XXIII Tournaments, falling in the first round to Copiah-Lincoln. After a 6-0 start to the season, Northwest earned its first national ranking since 1999-2000 at 25th in the NJCAA. Edwards led the Lady Rangers to a fifth north division crown during the 2012-13 season, finishing with an 18-7 overall record and 9-3 mark in the division. The 18 wins was the most for Northwest in eight seasons.

Since 2004-05, a total of 28 Lady Rangers have gone on to play at four-year schools, including Destiny Gardner (North Alabama), Averyale Joy (Freed-Hardeman), Janesha Johnson (University of Charleston), Aspriona Gilbert (Delta State), Jacquelyn Brooks (Delta State), Bethany Lytle (Union University) and Sara Lytle (Union University) from the past three seasons.

Not only have the Lady Rangers performed on the court, but they have done it off the court as well. Northwest posted a 3.15 team GPA last season and 3.20 GPA during the 2015-16 academic year to be recognized as an All-Academic team by both the MACJC and NJCAA. Edwards also served as the head men’s golf coach for 23 seasons at Northwest, being named the MACJC Coach of the Year twice, and sending at least one golfer to compete in the NJCAA Division II National Tournament in 11 of his final 17 seasons.

Edwards came to Northwest from West Panola Academy at Batesville where he served as the boys’ and girls’ basketball coach, golf coach and athletic director for eight years. Named Coach of the Year a total of six times, he coached in two academy All-Star games.

His record as a high school coach stands at 246-56 for girls and 162-82 for boys. Edwards’ girls’ teams finished in the top four in the state for six years, capturing the championship three times. Before arriving at West Panola Academy, Edwards worked at Quitman County High School where he was athletic director, basketball and football coach and driver’s education instructor.

After attending Northwest for two years, Edwards transferred to Delta State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1973. He also holds an M.Ed. in administration and supervision from Delta State University.

NWCC_RANGERS

Marcus Van Every MARCUS VAN EVERY, BASEBALL, 1998-99 The Northwest baseball team experienced the best offensive season in team history in 1999 and Senatobia native Marcus Van Every was a big reason why.

After originally signing with Gulf Coast (Fla.), Van Every returned to Senatobia after one semester and was a primary contributor during his two seasons with the Rangers.

The catcher/third baseman finished his career with a .432 batting average (third all-time), an on-base percentage of .508 (second) and 24 home runs (third). In 1999, Van Every hit .453 in his sophomore campaign, and alongside teammate Eduardo Pena, the duo led the NJCAA with 17 homers, which remains the Rangers’ single-season record. Van Every also holds the single-season record for total bases at 132.

A two-time All-MACJC selection and NJCAA Distinguished Academic Student Athlete, Van Every later carried his talents to Delta State University. At DSU, he helped lead the Statesmen to a third place finish in the NCAA Division II College World Series in 2001. Van Every garnered numerous All-American, Academic All-American and All-Gulf South Conference honors and still ranks fourth all-time in career batting average (.395).

Van Every continues to give back to the game he loves today, coaching an 18U summer showcase baseball team, the Shockers Baseball Club.

Van Every and his wife Abby will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary next March. The couple have three sons, Easton, Vance and Jordan.
