The EMCC Football family lost a brother yesterday & asks that you keep our team & athletics family in your thoughts as they grieve the loss of Zae Crain. Please also lift up Jeremiah Braziel & Keon Moore as they continue to recover, and remember all these young men’s families.
The EMCC Football/Athletics family appreciates your thoughts & prayers tonight for three of our players (Zae Crain, Jeremiah Braziel, Keon Moore) & their families. The players were in a serious car accident earlier. This is an ongoing situation & we will have more info tomorrow.

The Lions left out of Scooba just now, headed to Fayetteville Arkansas- they’ll stay there tonight & practice in the morning before continuing on to Kansas!
The 2018 EMCC football team... more national championships than losses & NJCAA Academic team of the year for our sophomores. A perfect season. Part of a 33 game home win streak. What an amazing time we've had. Thanks & good luck to you, sophomores!

It’s T’giving Eve & we are so thankful that OL William Barnett got to come home from UMMC today to spend the holiday with his family! Coach even got in a visit! Please keep him and his family in your thoughts... William was diagnosed with Lymphoma earlier this season.

CONGRATULATIONS to head coach Buddy Stephens! With tonight’s win, he is now 100-13 as a head coach. He's the seventh-winningest active NJCAA football coach and his .885 winning pct. is No. 1 all-time for coaches with 100 or more career games coached.

The defensive staff promised to run gassers if the defense gave them a shutout Thurs night... and after a 50-0 win, last night the coaches made good on that promise!
Along with being the only team in NJCAA history to be national champions and the academic team of the year in the same year (2018). Thank you,

True to Scooba... true to Mississippi: the 2018 NJCAA Champions had 9 starters on both side of the ball from MS; all of our specialists are from MS. Player of the game from the national championship, Everitt Cunningham, hails from West Point MS.

And with 16 100s, that’s a wrap on summer conditioning for the Lions! “Remember how hard this was... remember how hard you’ve worked... and this fall, make them pay for your work.”
