The football team is undefeated, students are excited and the alumni have come back to town to take part in Coahoma Community College Homecoming 2022.
The college is preparing for an activity-filled 2022 homecoming that will encompass a week full of “verzuz” events, music, pageantry, a parade and of course, a football game Saturday afternoon at Miller field on the campus of Coahoma Community College north of Clarksdale.
“Homecoming is a time-honored celebration for not only current students but also the alumni of Tiger Nation,” said CCC spokesman Marriel Hardy. “Homecoming festivities began Monday, and conclude with the climactic Saturday game day festivities.”
The Tigers are 3-0 on the season and Coach Joe Macon urges the community to come out and watch the team take on Holmes Community College.
Director of Student Engagement Karen Woods-Done is also looking forward to the homecoming celebration and is pleased to give the CCC campus a week of fun.
“We want every student that sets foot on this campus and in this community to really enjoy themselves during homecoming week,” said Woods-Done. “It is all about the students and their wellbeing. We want to make sure that their homecoming experience is like no other.”
Parents and grandparents are urged to get their potential student a taste of college life this weekend and maybe spark an interest in a college education.
Khamiya Littlejohn, a sophomore Pre-Nursing major from Cleveland, said she looks forward to homecoming festivities.
“I am excited to see everyone come together as a community to support the CCC Tigers,” said Littlejohn. “I look forward to this year’s parade and the football game.”
The community is encouraged to come out and have a ROARING time with your fellow Tigers during this year’s homecoming!
