MCC releases 2008-09 basketball schedule

Meridian Community College announced its 2008-09 men’s and women’s basketball schedule this week, according to MCC athletic director Hilary Allen.

It’s an exciting slate that features over 25 regular season games for both the Eagles and Lady Eagles, including six men/women doubleheader games at the Graham Gymnasium.

In addition, Meridian will face three familiar rival teams that remain on the MCC slate, including Mississippi teams- Jones County and Hinds, plus longtime Miss-Lou foe, Delgado.

The Lady Eagles went 23-6 last season and won the MACJC South Division along with claiming a MACJC State Runner-Up finish. They officially open their campaign with back-to-back games on the road against Selma on November 1 and at Andrew College on November 2.

Meanwhile, the MCC men, who made it to the postseason last year making showings in both the MACJC State and NJCAA Region 23 tournaments, will open up at home against Mississippi Elite before traveling to Southern Union on November 8.
