Jones County Junior College will have a new women’s basketball coach for the first time in 14 years.

Longtime successful head coach Sandra Sumrall, who has led the program since the 1999-2000 season, announced her retirement Tuesday afternoon at a press conference in the Media Room of the C.L. Neill Student Center.

Jones did not look far to find a replacement.

Kelton Thompson, who had served as associate head coach for the Bobcat men’s basketball team this past season, will take over as head coach of the Lady Bobcats.
