Lady Indians head to Arizona for Nationals round two
MARIANNA, Fla. (WMBB) – The Chipola softball team is heading to Yuma, Arizona, for a second-round matchup against Chattanooga State Community College in the NJCAA Division I World Series. The 33-19 Lady Indians have punched their ticket back to the NJCAA National Tournament for the first time since 2021 and have hit the second-round. The team is led by standout sophomore pitcher Anyela Gomez, who boasts 11 home runs and 53 RBIs this season. With prior experience at the NJCAA World Series, Head Coach Kelly Brookins emphasized the importance of staying focused and controlling the controllable. 'It's more of a mindset than physical ability,' Brookins said. 'It's about keeping yourself in the moment—not looking ahead or dwelling on the past play. You can't assume anything. Any team can beat you at any given moment.' Coach Brookins also highlighted the excitement surrounding the team's journey, especially for players experiencing cross-country travel and national competition for the first time. 'I'm just excited for the moment,' Brookins said. 'We've put in the work, and they are enough to experience this opportunity. It's about taking it all in and enjoying the moment.' The Lady Indians will depart for Phoenix Friday, with their matchup scheduled for Monday, May 19. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

MC names Isaac Fontenot-Amedee as the new men's head basketball coach
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Midland College has named Isaac Fontenot-Amedee as the next head men's basketball coach. Amedee formerly served as the assistant head coach under Tra Arnold for the last two seasons. In the 2024 season, Arnold had to step away to deal with some health issues, and Amedee was named the interim head coach. As the interim, he led the Chaps to a 21-10 record, a trip to the NJCAA Region V Tournament, and a No. 18 national ranking in the final NJCAA Division I poll. Amedee is very experienced in the WJCAC, formerly serving as the head coach at Clarendon for five years. There, he led the Bulldogs to their winningest season in program history (29-3) and highest national ranking (No. 3) en route to a WJCAC Championship and NJCAA National Tournament berth in 2020, before COVID-19 canceled the tournament. After the great run, Coach Amedee was named Coach of the Year by the WJCAC, the Region V Coach of the Year and the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Junior College Coach of the Year. Tomorrow, a press conference will be held at Midland College to introduce Amedee as the next head coach of the MC men's basketball team. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
