Lady Eagles set to start the 2021 season

Experience leads the way as the Lady Eagles prepare to start the 2021 basketball season.

The MACCC has adopted a mirror schedule for men's and women's basketball, which means that when the men's team is playing at home, the women's team will be playing away versus the same team. There will be only one game per night at Graham Gymnasium.

The state of Mississippi currently has guidelines to allow only 10 percent seating in indoor venues or up to 1,000 people, whichever is less. Due to these restrictions, MCC has decided to allow passes for players and coaches, family and friends only. No visiting fans or general admission will be admitted. For those in attendance, masks should be worn, and social distancing with families will be encouraged.

The Lady Eagles return nine sophomores from a season ago and look to capitalize on their experience.
Returners starters include Sidney Simms, guard from Fayetteville, Ga, who averaged 13 points a game. Mia Moore, center from Soso, MS, averaged 11 points and 5 rebounds a game, and Berniya Hardin, guard from Columbus, MS, averaged 10 points a game.
