BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. — Pearl River Community College held its annual Athletics Hall of Fame Celebration on Friday. The celebration, presented by Keith's Superstores, began with a sold-out golf tournament at the Bridges Golf Club and ended with an incredible banquet at Hollywood Casino & Resort.

"The Pearl River Community College Athletics Hall of Fame is an event we look forward to every year, and Friday certainly didn't disappoint," Pearl River Director of Athletics Patrick Ochs said. "Friday was a great day from sun-up to sunset with our golf tournament in the morning and banquet in the evening. To see so many people come together to celebrate Pearl River and honor our inductees is one of the highlights of our school year.

"This year, we had the honor of celebrating five championship teams in addition to five deserving individuals. Their speeches are always the best part of the evening as they recall fond memories from their time at The River. When they're on stage, and their families joyfully video their speeches, it really hits home how special Pearl River is to so many generations of families in our community."
