| Thompson, Jenkins, Gulledge selected for state all-star game By BARRY BURLESON Coach Jason Thompson is going down I-55 in July to the state’s top basketball all-star game, and he’s taking a couple of Marshall County players with him. Thompson, who has led H.W. Byers to back-to-back Class 2A state championships, will be the head coach for the North girls in the game, featuring players statewide from all classifications. It is sponsored by the Mississippi Association of Coaches. Playing in the July 11 girls North/South contest at Mississippi College will be Kenyotta Jenkins of Potts Camp and Brionne Gulledge of Byers. “For anyone to be selected, player or coach, it’s a unique honor,” Thompson said. “There are a lot of great coaches and players in the state. I’m overwhelmed by being selected. “It’s a rare thing for Marshall County to have one player, male or female, in the game. This year we have two. That’s a big thing for our county.” Thompson said he and Jenkins and Gullege will arrive in Clinton on Thursday, July 9. There will be a few practices prior to the all-star game, plus an event on Friday night, July 10, which will include a slam dunk contest, three-point shooting competition and more. The girls North versus South contest is scheduled to tip off at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 11, followed by the boys matchup. Coach Thompson will be assisted by Cassie Farris of Biggersville High School.
