The Copiah-Lincoln Community College Athletic Department is proud to announce 55 student-athletes across seven sports earned Academic All-State honors for their efforts in the classroom during the 2018-2019 seasons. The outstanding effort continues the storied tradition of success for Co-Lin in academic achievement.

“Our coaching staffs always strive for their student-athletes to succeed both on the field and in the classroom,” said Co-Lin Athletic Director Bryan Nobile. “Our student-athletes playing well in their respective sport is very important to us, but our goal is to have these young people be in the best position possible after Co-Lin, whether they choose to continue their athletic careers or not.
