Football standouts receive postseason acclaim


The Hinds Community College football program finished the 2015 season with a 6-3 record in yet another solid campaign for the Eagles, and on Monday, the program had a number of student-athletes receive individual honors by the league office.
 
Hinds had four team members named to the All-Region and Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State first team, three named to the All-State second team and 11 honorees on the All-State honorable mention team.
 
Marcus Loud (Houston, Texas), D'Tavieus Taylor (Pearl), Greg Taylor (East St. Louis, Ill.) and Javon Wims (Miami, Fla.) were the four individuals who were chosen for both All-Region and All-State first team honors.
 
Brandon Gaddy (Jackson), Jemarcus James (Jackson) and Jahmmir Taylor (Fairburn, Ga.) were the three All-State second team recipients that helped lead Hinds to a 4-2 mark in South division play this season.
 
Tommy Boone (Brandon), Barron Burns (Cleveland), Tionne McCray and Bryant McDuffie (both of Petal), DeCory McGee (Clinton), Jaquez Parks (Griffin, Ga.), Baron Poole (Decatur, Ga.), Zack Schemmel (Clinton), DJ Sims (Buckatunna), Charvarius Ward (McComb) and Kris Weatherspoon (Natchez) were all named to the All-State honorable mention team for their contributions to the Eagles' success in 2015.
