CLYDE MUSE • PRESIDENT DEAR VISITORS: On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Hinds family, I am pleased to welcome you to Hinds Community College, where you will find a personal and friendly atmosphere. For more than 100 years our focus has been on providing a quality education for all who desired one. We make every effort to provide programs and services that enable students to be successful. The college’s athletic program is just one extension of the comprehensive academic, career and technical instruction offered at Hinds. Athletics complement a strong instructional base that provides educational opportunities of the highest caliber. As a sports enthusiast, I’m proud of the accomplishments of our student athletes, both while they are here and wherever their path may lead. We’ve had many players that have enjoyed athletic careers at four-year institutes, in the NFL and even in the Super Bowl. While all of that is something to be proud of, I am most concerned about their performance in the classroom. We are extremely pleased with the graduation/completion rate of our student athletes. Hinds has received the prestigious Halbrook Award (in the Community College Division) 15 times since its inception in 1987. This honor is given to the college having the highest number of student-athletes who graduate or complete class work. Among those working hard for the betterment of the college are members of the coaching staff who prepare their teams for athletic events. Also, to be commended are the band, Hi-Steppers, cheerleaders and their sponsors, the athletic director and the student-athletes, themselves. We are particularly pleased to have parents, students and alumni here. We hope you enjoy the game and continue to take an interest in the activities at Hinds. During the 2017 football season, you will have the opportunity to help us celebrate a significant milestone 100 years of "Community Inspired Service". We thank you for your support and hope you enjoy these special events. To our visiting coaches, players and college representatives, we extend a warm welcome. Please enjoy your visit to Hinds Community College. GENE MURPHY • ATHLETIC DIRECTOR On behalf of the Hinds Community College athletic department, I want to welcome you to our college. Hinds is the largest community college in the state, and we also have the largest sports program of any community college. Our teams compete year-in and year-out for state and regional titles, and our coaching staff brings a wide variety of success to every single sport. It's our goal as an athletic department to graduate our student athletes. Winning the Halbrook Award 15 times is a reflection of our achieving this goal. This year, Hinds Community College is celebrating its 100th year of existence. In light of our Centennial celebration, we will be showing throughout the media guide some of the highlights of the rich tradition that has been built here over the last 100 years. It is my hope that you enjoy watching our teams and continue to support Hinds athletics throughout the year. 1 2017 HINDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOOTBALL # Full Name Ht. Wt. Pos.
