Celebration

Coaches Webb Lewis, Jimmy Hicks and Keith Wicker celebrate as the final seconds tick away Friday night.

New coach Webb Lewis led his Marshall Academy junior high Patriots to an enormous win Thursday night on the road.

The Class AA Patriots went to Senatobia and stunned Class AAA Magnolia Heights 20-18 in overtime.

“We had to work hard to win that one,” said Lewis, a 2002 graduate of MA. “We weren’t supposed to win it. We surprised some people.”

John Tomlinson scored the Patriots’ touchdown in regulation play. The score was knotted at 6 at the end of four quarters.

Chad Mitchell rushed for touchdowns in the first and second overtime. After Mitchell’s score in the second OT, Joey Brock cashed in the game-winning, two-point conversion on a reverse.

The junior high Patriots, 2-0 on the young season, visit Carroll Academy Thursday at 7 p.m.

Benefit tourney this Saturday

There will be a benefit softball tournament Saturday, Sept. 15, at Potts Camp Town Park. It will be for men’s and coed softball teams.

The benefit is for Bailey Childers. She is the daughter of Keith and Toya Childers. She was born Aug. 20, 2006 – 14 weeks early. She weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz. She spent the first 95 days of her life in the NICU at Tupelo.

She has also been in the hospital numerous times since then. Due to complications breathing, she received a trach in May and kept it in for three months. On Aug. 17, 2007, the trach was removed. She must wait at least a year for her surgery to close the hole where it was. After the past year, the family is hoping everything can now start to be normal.

Entry fee for this weekend’s tournament is $150 per team.

Call Steve Henderson at 544-2898 or 333-7076.
