MACCC Hall of Fame

 The 2022 Mississippi Community College Sports Hall of Fame inductees

Mississippi Community College Sports Hall of Fame

The Sports Hall of Fame was conceived in the interest of recognizing coaches and athletes who have coached and/or played in one or more of Mississippi’s public community colleges. Acknowledging the fact that there have been many oustanding athletes who have contributed greatly to the successful sports programs throughout the two-year college system, the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference (MACCC) began a program of recognition in 2007 whereby individuals may be recognized for their contributions to the tremendous success of community and junior college sports in Mississippi.

The By-Laws for the Mississippi Community College Sports Hall of Fame were considered and approved by the MACCC at its annual athletic meeting on January 23, 2007 and were amended by the MACCC on August 26, 2008. These By-Laws established the framework to recognize individual athletes/coaches for their athletic achievements. Forty-five (45) individuals were inducted as Charter Members in 2007, thirty (30) were inducted in 2008, and fifteen (15) will be inducted each year thereafter, one inductee from each member college.
