As head coach at Co-Lin, from 1985-1989, Ishee compiled a 37-17-1 record. His 1985 team won the MACJC State Championship and defeated nationally ranked Nassau County (N.Y.) in the East Bowl which was hosted that year by Co-Lin.
Ishee's teams were ranked in the Top 10 in the nation four of the five years. That state championship was the first for Co-Lin's football program since 1938.
Ishee also served as dean of students at C0-Lin from 1990-2001.
Jenkins, a 1988 Co-Lin grad, was a member of the Co-Lin basketball team that finished 36-2 and was ranked No. 5 nationally under former coach Mike Jones. Jenkins was ranked among the Top 5 JUCO players in the nation that season.
A slender 6-foot-10 post player, Jenkins sparkled in the NJCCA National Tournament in Hutchinson, Kan. He played like a mad stork, swatting shots left and right. He led the tourney in scoring, rebounds and dunks.
Jenkins had several senior college offers but elected to stay close to home in Simpson County and played for former Co-Lin coach M.K. Turk at Southern Miss when the Golden Eagles won the NIT.
Boone made his mark in football and track, graduating from Co-Lin in 1957. A Hazlehurst graduate, he was nicknamed "Nuke." He later graduated from Louisiana College where he played football as a halfback.
Globetti also is a 1957 Co-Lin grad. He was captain of the football team. He will be inducted into the Louisiana College Sports Hall of Fame later this year.
