Hawks dominate Blue Devils By CLAUDE VINSON Coach Clifford Brown and his Holly High Hawks probably are still dancing on air. They went into Water Valley last Friday night and almost perfectly executed their game plan. The Blue Devils, once a most formidable foe in the 3A ranks, now play in 2A but still have a colorful history which includes two divisional and one state championship. That did not seem to matter to the high-flying Hawks who were there to win. Football’s back for H.W. Byers; Byhalia takes 12-0 win in opener By CLAUDE VINSON After over three decades, football returned to the H.W. Byers athletic program Thursday, Sept. 4. Excitement was thick when the teams took the field. By the size of the crowd in attendance at Byhalia, one would think the game was between a pair of varsity teams. Jr. Pats whip Chiefs By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy junior high football team had no trouble with Magnolia Heights Thursday at home. Behind The Scoreboard Cowboys roll In the true vein of a non-cooperative chairman of any board, I refuse to entertain any motions to discuss any parts of the obvious meltdowns of the Ole Miss Rebels or the University of Memphis Tigers. It suffices to say that both blew golden opportunities. Patriots lose 36-6 at Magnolia Heights By BARRY BURLESON Magnolia Heights had its way the first half, building a 29-0 lead en route to a 36-6 win over Marshall Academy. But coach Keith Wicker saw some grit in his Patriots the second half. Nunnery gets hole-in-one on Kirkwood National course Martin Nunnery of Tupelo aced the Par 3, #15 hole (114 yards) at Kirkwood National on August 31. He used his 56 degree sand wedge. The hole-in-one at Kirkwood was witnessed by Troy Duncan, Shane Cook and Josh Hutchins, also of Tupelo. Bull-A-Rama Sept. 20 at Northwest arena Professional cowboys and student athletes will put their skills on the line when they climb on board some of the toughest bucking bulls in the industry when the Ross Motor Company Bull-A-Rama gets underway Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Northwest Mississippi Community College Multipurpose Livestock Arena. These athletes will be hoping for a successful ride and a shot at the prize money. Coach sees progress in Byhalia loss By BARRY BURLESON Coach Markeith Washington is preaching patience with his young Byhalia football team. The young 3A Indians, playing another 5A team in week two of the season, lost 42-0 Friday night at DeSoto Central. They fell 33-6 to Horn Lake in week one. Galena Plantation hosts Fun Shoot Shotgunners, sporting dog fans, and an audience of observers gathered Saturday morning, Aug. 16, at the Galena Plantation near Holly Springs. The occasion was the first annual Fun Shoot hosted by the Bird Dog Foundation, the non-profit organization which operates the National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, Tenn. The day was made possible by W. O. “Bill” Fitch and his wife, Joan, through the loan of their Galena Plantation shooting venue and lovely lodge. Lady Pats fall to Magnolia Heights By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy softball team dropped a 5-2 decision to Magnolia Heights Thursday. It was a non-division contest against a Class AAA school and left the Class AA Lady Patriots with an impressive 16-4 record going into action this week. |
