just win, baby

Meridian Community College might be the closest thing the state has to a baseball dynasty. The Eagles have been to the junior college World Series seven times. They’ve won 11 Miss-Lou Conference titles (including 2010) and 10 region titles. They also won the MACJC championship three times during the six years they played in the state association. Regardless of whatever recruiting advantages MCC might enjoy over other state schools, this is an impressive resume. And now Chris Curry sits in the captain’s chair. The former MCC and Mississippi State standout was named as Chris Rose’s replacement today. Rose, 186-93 in five years at the helm, took the East Mississippi CC job in June. Rose succeeded Scott Berry, now the Southern Miss coach. Berry followed Corky Palmer at both MCC and USM. Curry, who had been an assistant at SEC power Arkansas, has a powerful legacy to uphold in the Queen City.
