Plans are underway for an exciting evening as Northwest Mississippi Community College hosts its annual “Meet the Rangers” night on Thursday, Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. The event will be held on Bobby Franklin Field in Ranger Stadium on the Senatobia campus, and admission is free, according to Pam Wooten, student activities manager.

“We want to invite the entire community to this event,” Wooten said. “It is going to be an opportunity for everyone to meet our players, coaching staff, cheerleaders and band in a fun atmosphere,” she said.

Wooten said that the players, coaching staff and cheerleaders will be introduced that evening. The cheerleaders, Rangerettes and Ranger Marching Band will also be performing.

On board for the upcoming season will be Head Coach Ricky Woods; Jack Wright, offensive coordinator; Ron Oakes, offensive line coach; Blake Frazier, defensive coordinator; Trenell Edwards, defensive backs coach; Scott Oakley, receivers coach; and Danny Ray Cole, strength coach.

The Rangers will take on two-time defending state champions Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in their season opener on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. in Perkinston. “We need everybody to come out and show the Rangers their support,” said Wooten.
