1982 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE DATE TEAM PLACE Holmes Hinds Northwest Gulf Coast Itawamba Jones Co-Lin Pearl River Northeast E. Central (HC) Away Home Home Away Home Home Away Away Away Home . ft vv The awesome Force, alias the Bears, presented the opposing team from the Holmes station with some mind-boggling plays. THE FORCE PREVAILS EARTH COMMUNICATIONS “Being a football player at Southwest Mississippi Junior College was a challenge for me. Although there were thrills of victory, there were also times of defeat knocking at my door. Even though the Bears’ record of 2-7 didn’t sound impressive, determination was always present.” Each member of the football team felt a closeness and maintained a strength. “With this tremendous strength, we were like a family drawn together and unitarily went out to fight our battles. During this time, we continued to look to the Lord and our head coach, directing all the credit to them.” Each game was an experience that each football player lived to his utmost. When one was knocked down, he would just get up and pray for courage and stamina to keep going. “Playing football was a challenge, but it was one that we could look forward to as long as we followed the coach’s instructions.” INTERVIEW OF JEFF BROWN 26
