Arkansas 2019 recruiting target Javon Franklin (6-6, 200) and former El Dorado star Czar Perry (6-2, 180) will get their sophomore basketball seasons underway Thursday night.
Both are on the roster this season for Goodman (Miss.) Holmes Community College, which will open its season against visiting Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College.
Franklin was the Bulldogs’ second-leading scorer (10.2) and top rebounder (8.2) on a 24-5 team last season that made it to the National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament and returns four other sophomores.
“I think we have a great chance to repeat and go back to the national tournament in Hutchinson (Kansas) and win the league again,” noted Holmes head coach and former Little Rock Parkview and Auburn star Jason Flanigan.
