PETER IMES General Manager ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller OUR VIEW CARTOONIST VIEW ‘Best Chance U’ Next week, the second season of the Netflix series “Last Chance U” will be available to subscribers. The eight one- hour episodes again focus on the East Mississippi Community College football program, known both for its success on the field and for its sometimes question- able practice of bringing highly-talented, but troubled players from other schools into its program. For those players, whose academic performance or behavior issues put their playing career in peril, EMCC represents as “last chance” to revive and continue their playing careers. If last year’s viewership is any indi- cation, the series will be a hit. After attracting more than 82 million viewers in the debut episode last year, Netflix immediately made plans for Season 2. Even for folks who aren’t sports enthu- siasts, the series is compelling story-telling. After all, sports is often seen as a metaphor for life. And while the program is narrowly focused on a group of young football players and their fortunes, particularly their football fortunes, we note that community colleges represent something important for thousands of Mississippians whose stories will never be told in a TV series. Community colleges serve a distinct and essential role in our educational system. While it would probably be overstating things to say that community colleges are “Last Chance” institutions for the majority of students, what community colleges represent should not be underestimated. Historically, community colleges have been affordable and acces- sible. And in recent years, the system has expanded its program to provide students with options beyond an affordable head-start on a four-year degree. Today, community colleges are training students for a variety of vocational skills that translate into good-paying jobs. Community colleges also have strong appeal to non-traditional students — older people who are returning to school as a result of a change in career path. Last Chance U? Probably not. But, for many, it is a “Best Chance U,” a first step toward a brighter future. Given the importance of our community colleges, we are disappointed that the Legislature cut funding for the state’s 15 community colleges, forcing the schools to raise tuition, cut programs and staffing. Community colleges are one of the few things in education that Mississippi does well. It is unfortunate our state leaders will not make the commitment that will enable these “Best Chance U” institutions to not only survive but thrive.

Top Juniors at West Point’s Old Waverly GOLF: British Open No sleep, jittery nerves, and a 68 for Manley BY TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press

SOUTHPORT, England — Stuart Manley was up part of the night tending to his 6-month-old son, and so nervous when he stood on the first tee that he thought he wouldn’t be able to hit the ball. By the time he had finished his first round in the British Open the journeyman from Wales had the equally hard task of explaining how he somehow managed to get on the leaderboard Thursday at Royal Birkdale. “I didn’t dream of it. I didn’t think about it,” Manley said. “I just thought, post a decent score, give myself tomorrow for making the cut and have a good weekend. I didn’t really dream I’d be sitting here and being the leader after round one, so far anyway.” Manley had his reasons for being surprised.
