2007 ICC Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees

Linda Partlow

Linda Partlow of Daphne, AL was inducted into the NJCAA Womenąs Tennis Hall of Fame in 2001 after coaching 22 years at ICC. During her career, Partlowąs Lady Indians won 150 matches and lost 55, including nine MACJC state titles and six Region 23 championships. On six other occasions Partlowąs squad finished runner-up in the Region and five times, second in the state championship.

Partlow, who also won 134 games and two north division crowns in nine years of coaching softball at the College, participated in 10 NJCAA National Tennis Tournaments with four top 14 finishes, including 8th in the nation in 1991 in the non-scholarship division.

She was named the MACJC and Region 23 Coach of the Year five times, and her tennis players signed scholarships at Mississippi State, Delta State, MUW, UNA and Blue Mountain.

"I couldnąt have had all of this success without the help of (current ICC tennis coach) Paul Johnson. Paul gets the credit of teaching my girls technique, while my job was to make them believe and create that competitive edge."

Mark Burleson

Mark Burleson of Tupelo was the first ever first-team All-American in the history of the Itawamba Community College baseball program. In fact, after his sophomore campaign in 1987, the outfielder also received the prestigious Rawlings Big Stick Award, which annually goes to the nationąs top hitter. That year, Burleson sported a .513 batting average, which is still the single season school record at ICC and drove in 68 runs. He was a first-team all-state and Region 23 selection in both the 1986 and Ś87 seasons.

According to his Hall of Fame head coach Roy Cresap, "Mark was the best hitter I ever coached and one of my all-time favorites." After graduating from ICC, he transferred to Ole Miss, where he led the SEC in hitting in both seasons before an injury ended each campaign.

"This honor means a lot because itąs coming from a college that means a lot to me," said Burleson, who is now Tupelo Division president for BancorpSouth. "ICC was a great experience for me and thatąs why Iąve stay connected to the College through the years."

*Both Linda and Mark were officially inducted during a ceremony before ICC's homecoming contest against East Mississippi on October 27..
