MCC Basketball Star Inks With William Carey

From School Reports

The Meridian Community College men’s basketball team held a special signing ceremony on Thursday afternoon at the Graham Gymnasium to wish one of its players the best in the future. Sophomore Brandon Daniels signed a scholarship on Thursday afternoon with William Carey University to play next season for the Crusaders in Hattiesburg, MS.

Daniels leaves MCC after a stellar 2014-2015 season that saw the Sontag, MS native put up impressive number for the Eagles. Daniels finished his sophomore season at MCC by leading the team with 19.1 points per game and was second on the team with 6.9 rebounds per contest. Daniels was named a member of the All-Region Team and was also recognized as a member of the 1^st Team All-MACJC squad for the 2014-2015 season. Daniels was also invited to play in the 2015 MACJC All-Star Game that was held earlier this spring.

Daniels will look to boost the Crusaders next season who finished the 2014-2015 campaign with a 20-11 overall record. Daniels becomes the second player in the past two seasons to play basketball at William Carey University as Corey Brister signed to play with the Crusaders this past season.
