Hodge's
playing career started at Seagoville High School under Leonard Bishop
and collegiately at Paris Junior College where he was a two-year
starter and led the team to consecutive regional championship games.
Hodge earned an Associate of General Studies in 2001 from PJC.
Following his time at Paris JC, Hodge played for two
years at Texas A&M University-Commerce where he was a two-year
starter. He finished the 2001-2002 season ranked second nationally
(NCAA-II) in assists per game. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science
in Kinesiology from TAMU-C in 2003. After completing his playing career
Hodge stayed on at TAMU-C as an assistant coach for two seasons.
When his former PJC coach, Bill Foy, called Hodge
with an opportunity to return to Paris Junior College, he headed back
to where it all started. Coach Hodge served as an assistant coach for
one season under Foy. When his mentor (Foy) departed for the University
of North Texas, Ross was tabbed as his successor.
