MCC Athletes Assist Louisiana Flood Victims

From School Reports

The Meridian Community College tennis, baseball, and golf teams recently went the extra mile to help the flood victims in the state of Louisiana by sending items to assist in recovering efforts. The three athletic teams collected items that will be sent to the state that will play a role in some of the help that Louisiana so desperately needs in its time of recovery. The three teams were assisted in its efforts by members of the East Philadelphia Baptist Church that will be taking the items to Louisiana in the coming days. Former MCC tennis star Rusty Parsons, who is now the pastor of East Philadelphia Baptist Church, is spearheading the trip to Louisiana to distribute the items collected by the athletes at MCC.

Bailey Hargrave, an MCC baseball sophomore, led the efforts among the athletes to collect the items that will be sent to the flood victims. Hargrave led the charge among the baseball, tennis, and golf teams at MCC  with the assistance from their head coaches. The coaching staff that got involved in the recovery effort from MCC included: Wanda McPhail (tennis), Dillon Sudduth (baseball), and Ronnie Key (golf).
