Youthful, Energetic Lady Greyhounds Face Challenging Schedule

Mid-South Community College’s women will play 16 games against Division I foes this season, and the Division II Lady Greyhounds are counting on energy and enthusiasm to help them collect their share of victories.

“It’s going to be a challenging year,” said veteran coach Andy Stoglin who takes over for Kim Ezell this season. “We have a lot of young ladies who have potential, but we’re very young overall. Based on our schedule, we’ll need to grow up in a hurry.”

Greyhounds Feature Athleticism, Size, Entertaining Style

Mid-South Community College’s men are looking to improve on last year’s regional championship finish, and the Greyhounds are primed for that opportunity with a generous portion of size and athleticism.

MSCC will open the season on Oct. 31 against Kaskaskia College in the first round of the Greyhound Tipoff Classic presented by RJ Young.

“We will put an extremely entertaining team on the court for our fans,” said Coach Parker. “We have a lot of athleticism, and we have, by far, more size than we’ve ever had. We have seven guys who are 6-5 or taller; that is unprecedented for our program.”

Former U of M Distance Runners Win Greyhound 5K Titles

Trent Scott and Alisha Fitch, who ran cross country for the University of Memphis, captured the men’s and women’s division of the Third Annual Greyhound 5k at Mid-South Community College on Saturday, Oct. 4.

Scott crossed the finish line in 16:38.92 to take the men’s crown, and Fitch ran a 19:37.46 to prevail in the women’s competition. Both runners set Greyhound 5k records, easily eclipsing last year’s winning times of 17:43.09 and 21:23.44.

Martavious Johnson placed second in the men’s bracket with an 18:29.45, and Robert Wilson came in third at 9:15.01. Stacy Chick finished as the women’s runnerup with a 20:54.58, and Paris Perkins placed third with a 23:44.20.

Diane Hampton, MSCC Vice President for Institutional Advancement, called the event a winner for everyone involved.
