Bowl season

For almost a week now, the collegiate world has put on its bowling shoes. No, not the lane and big ball kind – the wide open field and the oval ball kind. Those lucky enough to go on and vie for the mega purses have extended their seasons.

Postseason recognition for Patriots
Twelve Marshall Academy Patriots were recently recognized for their efforts on the football field this past season. Five were named all-conference and seven others received honorable mention recognition. Front, from left, are honorable mention recipients Jon Cooper (offensive lineman), Justin Gray (defensive back), Chase Samples (defensive lineman) and Josh Sharp (offensive lineman). Second, row, from left are Jonathan Allen (honorable mention, offensive lineman), Tyler Sanders (all-conference, running back), Jake Paylor, (all-conference, defensive tackle), Brent Adams (all-conference, free safety), Wesley Harris (all-conference, cornerback) and Taylor Dempsey (all-conference, running back). In back are head coach Wade Griffin and Spenser Autry (honorable mention, defensive end). Not pictured is Hunter Bolden (honorable mention, linebacker). MA finished 5-6 in 2006 and just missed the state playoffs in Class 2A of the Mississippi Private School Association.
