NEMCC's Blake Long Part 1

Heard It On The Shark

Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville, MS provides live video feed of their football, basketball, baseball and softball games at no cost to the viewer. Last year they recorded over 400,000 views of broadcasts throughout the school year. Two years ago, Northeast partnered with The Shark 102.3 FM radio station because it's great to watch the game at nemcctv.com when you can but it's also great to have the flexibility to listen to the game broadcast on your radio or phone app when you can't watch the game! Blake Long, Director of Sports Information, sits down with Melinda to recap the big moments of the last school year. Northeast Games can be watched on nemcctv.com and can be heard on The Shark 102.3 FM radio, mobile app or streaming online at shark1023.com. If you would like to become an NEMCC Sports Sponsor with 400,000 pairs of eyes on your ad for THIS school year, contact Melinda at The Shark 102.3 by calling 662-837-1023.

Bounded by I-55 to the west and Highway 14 to the south, the Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area, created by the United States Congress in 2009 represents a distinctive cultural landscape shaped by the dynamic intersection of Appalachian and Delta cultures, an intersection which has produced a powerful concentration of national cultural icons from the King of Rock’n’Roll Elvis Presley, First Lady of Country Music Tammy Wynette, blues legend Howlin’ Wolf, Civil Rights icons Ida B. Wells-Barnett and James Meredith, America’s favorite playwright Tennessee Williams, and Nobel-Laureate William Faulkner. The stories of the Mississippi Hills are many and powerful, from music and literature, to Native American and African American heritage, to the Civil War. The Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area supports the local institutions that preserve and share North Mississippi’s rich history. Begin your discovery of the historic, cultural, natural, scenic, and recreational treasures of the Mississippi Hills by visiting the Mississippi Hills National Heritage Area online at mississippihills.org.
