Celebrating new beginnings for the MC Tennis Program
MC tennis alums gather at the Latimer House for a luncheon.
The MC Foundation was excited to host a luncheon for Mississippi College alumni tennis players in the Jackson metropolitan area. The former players met Michael Ward, MC’s new tennis coach, and Kenny Bizot, MC athletic director.
I am excited to coach tennis at a university where our campus leadership prioritizes relationships not only with current students but also with previous students. It feels like a true family when we can gather with multiple generations of MC tennis players and hear stories about the history of MC tennis, talk about our current program, and discuss our vision to build a national championship tennis program. I believe this vision is possible because of our campus leadership and because of the community of MC alumni who are dedicated to our growth. I am motivated by my conversations with our alumni to work hard to build character in our student athletes and help push them to excellence
