Faith joins the Bulldog coaching staff as wide receivers coach

Holmes Community College Head Football Coach Raymond Gross has named Tony Faith as the new volunteer wide receiver's coach.

Faith began his coaching career under the legendary, Holmes Community College and Mississippi Hall of Fame coach, Ricky Joe Black of Jackson Preparatory School.

While at Jackson Prep in 2017, the Patriots went undefeated during his first year and also won, at that time, their sixth straight state championship, which is a new Mississippi High School state record surpassing the powerhouse South Panola Tigers that had won five in a row. The Patriot wide receivers led the MAIS 4A division in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns during that season. Since that time, the Patriots have won another state championship in 2018, which makes eight consecutive state titles, and was runner-up in 2019.

Faith has coached wide receiver Nevin Wells and All-American running back Jerrion Ealy, both of Ole Miss. Defensive back Cooper Carroll of Harding University is another athlete that was coached under Faith's leadership.

After building a great relationship with new Holmes Head Coach Raymond Gross, he was able to have an opportunity to lead the Holmes Bulldogs wide receivers, and he's mentioned countless times about how appreciative, blessed, and thankful he is for the opportunity.

Faith was a four-sport athlete at Yazoo County High School. He brings discipline, effort and consistency to the Holmes Bulldogs' wide receivers corp.

He's currently finishing his bachelor's degree in psychology at DePaul University. Faith has a two-year-old son, Tylan.
