Coach Ryan Mounce / Archie Manning

Northwest Mississippi Community College keeps the spring sports momentum going on the Feb. 19, 2026 episode of the Bank First Ranger Hour, beginning with an in-depth conversation with NWCC Tennis Head Coach Ryan Mounce. Coach Mounce previews a major home matchup against Jones College at the Ranger Outdoor Complex and reflects on building a competitive, sophomore-heavy roster in his first season leading the Rangers. He discusses team chemistry, doubles strategy, international recruiting, and key players to watch this spring—including Laura and Claudia Lopez, Meg Days, and Brady Holloman—as Northwest aims to return to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament.

The episode also features a special interview with Archie Manning ahead of his live Q&A and storytelling event at the Heindl Center for the Performing Arts. Manning reflects on growing up in Drew, Mississippi, the value of multi-sport participation, lessons learned from small-town athletics, and his philosophy on parenting young athletes. From Ole Miss football memories to life after the NFL and Hurricane Katrina reflections, Manning offers insight, humor, and timeless leadership advice as he prepares to take the stage in Senatobia.
