Raymond High School Boys Basketball Team Honored with Championship Ring Ceremony

The Raymond High School Boys Basketball Team was honored in a special ring ceremony held at the school’s Performing Arts Center, celebrating their recent state championship victory. The event was attended by proud parents, teachers, school administrators, members of the Hinds County School Board, the Superintendent, and numerous community supporters.

The ceremony served not only as a moment of recognition but also as a heartfelt celebration of the team’s hard work, dedication, and unity throughout the season.

Guest speaker for the evening was former Raymond High basketball standout Tremaine Dixon, now a starting guard at Mississippi Christian University (formerly Mississippi College). Dixon delivered an inspiring message, urging the athletes to remain committed, continue striving for excellence, and preserve the family bond they’ve built as teammates.
