Junior College football has been shown in a new light and a new platform recently. Netflix’s documentary series, “Last Chance U”, shows the journey of players at East Mississippi Community College as they try to get out and into bigger programs.
As the players work to get recognized by coaches and big-time schools, the team itself is trying to compete for, and win, a National Championship.
In 2016, EMCC didn’t get a chance to play for the that NJCAA Championship.
Without a playoff system, rankings decided on the two teams that got the opportunity to play in the championship.
