Commends and congratulates the Coahoma County High School Red Panthers Boys Basketball Team for winning their second consecutive MHSAA Class 2A State Championship, defeating Newton 46-40 on March 5, 2021.

Recognizes Head Coach Derrick Moore and Assistant Coach Charles Nolan for their leadership, particularly in adapting to COVID-19 challenges including limited regular season games and integrating new players from Coahoma Early College High School.

Lists all 22 team members on the 2021 championship roster, including players such as Christopher Abby, Christian Banks, Harlem Bell, and others.

Notes the team has won four of the last five Class 2A state titles and that increased crowd capacity at the Mississippi Coliseum created an enhanced championship atmosphere.
