For the second straight season Jamar led Holmes in tackles and the sophomore linebacker was named All-Region XXIII and First Team All-State (Mississippi). Smith tallied 82 total tackles (9.5 per game)- tops on his team- and his 59 solo stops were the 19th best in the NJCAA. Jamar also had 11.5 tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries.
Holmes wrapped up a 6-3 regular season with a 63-49 win over Itawamba Community College.
