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.”

Germantown Player Inks with Greyhounds for 2012-13

Marquavious Smith, a 6-6 forward from Germantown (Tenn.) High School, has signed to continue his basketball career at Mid-South Community College.

Smith averaged 4.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and a team-leading 1.9 blocks per game for head coach Marvis Davis. The two-year letterman also served as team captain as a senior and posted highs of 11 points, 11 rebounds, and six blocked shots.

“Marquavious is probably as good an athlete as we’ve had at Mid-South Community College,” said Greyhounds’ head coach Chris Parker. “He loves to catch the alley-oop and has a really nice jump shot all the way out to the three-point line.”
