A MESSAGE FROM OUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ‹‹‹ Carlton Rice Greetings, My name is Carlton Rice, I am the Interim Director of Athletics at Lawson State Community College. On behalf of our coaches, staff and student-athletes, I want to thank you for supporting LSCC Cougar Athletics. We value our fans and supporters as members of our own community, and strive to make your association with our department a proud one. Rest assured that we know how important you are to our mission, not only as an athletic department, but as an institution as well. I am in my 4th year as an Athletic Director overall; my first at Lawson. The previous three years I spent time in Charleston, SC at Burke High School. I’m from Huntsville, AL. I received my bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from Mississippi State University in 2006. While on football scholarship, I played three years as a Linebacker for the Bulldogs. I completed my final year of intercollegiate football at Alabama A&M University in 2007, where I earned my Master’s Degree in Physical Education in 2009. Our coaches, players and staff stand behind our mission of creating productive citizens through athletic experiences. We realize that winning is important, but this is not the only reason for our existence. We as coaches view our jobs as a teaching opportunity, not only for sports, but for the game of life that will continue long after graduation. It is always our goal to develop men and women into the best people they can be, both as students in the classroom and as athletes competing for national championships on the field. Again, we thank you for your continued support of Lawson State Athletics. If there is ever anything I can do to enhance your experience with our teams, or if you desire to become a financial partner in our quest to become an elite member of the NJCAA, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Carlton A. Rice
