The East Central Community College Athletic Department is set to host a "Meet the Warriors" pep rally tomorrow, Wednesday, November 3, for the ECCC basketball teams. The event will not formally begin until 7:30 p.m., but doors to Brackeen-Wood Gymnasium will open at 6:30 p.m. for dancing and socializing with music provided by DJ Aaron Tullos. East Central students, as well as the public, are invited to this family-friendly pep rally.

Fans will get an opportunity to be introduced to both the men's and women's teams, hear cheers from the Warrior Cheer Squad, and enjoy a co-ed three-point shootout featuring the Warriors and Lady Warriors' top shooters. The night will wrap up with a movie showing of the new Space Jam movie, also located in Brackeen-Wood Gymnasium.

The Warriors and Lady Warriors have already begun their 2021-2022 seasons, but Thursday, November 4, will serve as the home-opener for both squads. The Lady Warriors are set to take on Hinds Community College at 5 p.m. and the Warriors will follow with a 7 p.m. matchup against Royal Ambassadors Prep. Schedules for the remainder of the season can be found at www.ecccathletics.com.
