SportsReportMA scores 41 but falls to Lamar By BARRY BURLESON
Two teams combined for 95 points and more than 1,000 yards total offense Friday night at Patriot Field. Unfortunately, the visitors got the slight majority. In a classic shootout between a run-oriented offense and a passing one, the air attack came out on top. Lamar School eliminated Marshall Academy from the Class AA football playoffs with the 54-41 win. There were only two punts in the game, one by each team. The Raiders (11-1) move on to face Simpson for the north state crown. MA finishes 10-2. Lady Cards, Hawks earn victories By CLAUDE VINSON The Lady Hawks took the floor for their home opener November 9 versus Potts Camp under new management. They have a new head coach, Crystal Stewart, and a new assistant, Candace Saulsbury. The tip went to Holly High, which is returning a handful of players from last season’s squad. The Lady Cardinals were bringing a proven veteran in Kenyotta Jenkins. This was the season’s inaugural game for both teams. Potts Camp appeared to be better prepared on defense. And while they ran up a sizeable lead in the first quarter, their lane shooting and ball control were suspect. The first ended 20-6 in favor of the visitors. Hawks win tourney By BARRY BURLESON The Holly High Hawks, after a season-opening victory over Potts Camp, continued their winning ways in the Coldwater Tournament. Coach Naylond Hayes’ crew went 3-0 in the tourney, claimed the crown and improved to 4-0 overall. Behind The Scoreboard Titans rolling The game which all of us saw Sunday evening between the Colts and the Pats could have very well been the AFC championship game. Fortunately, for the New England group, it was just a regular season game. More on that later. Byhalia girls start year 2-0 By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia varsity basketball teams tipped off their seasons with opposite results. The Lady Indians beat DeSoto Central and Ashland while the Indians fell to the same two schools. The Byhalia girls opened the campaign on the road November 7 and knocked off the Lady Jaguars 43-37. Lady Cardinals improve to 3-0 By BARRY BURLESON Coach Tana Miller’s Potts Camp Lady Cardinals upped their early season record to 3-0 last week with wins over Mooreville and Ashland. The Potts Camp boys split against the same two opponents - beating the Troopers and falling to the Blue Devils – as their season mark went to 1-2. The Lady Cards dominated Mooreville 84-54 in their home opener Tuesday of last week. Potts Camp led 47-30 at the half and outscored the visitors 26-11 in the fourth period.

Marshall takes wins at Forum By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy basketball teams found shooting at the huge FedEx Forum a bit more difficult Saturday and still managed to turn back Claiborne, La. Those wins came after a split with Myrtle and a sweep of Marvell (Ark.) earlier in the week. Emily Burk scored just over half of her team’s points in the Lady Patriots’ 41-31 victory at the home of the Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Tigers. Byers-Ashland split on hardwood By CLAUDE VINSON The Lady Lions of H.W. Byers started their 2009-10 season with a contest on their home court. It would be the second game for their opponents, the Lady Blue Devils of Ashland. The Lady Devils have a new head coach in Guyton Wilkerson, formerly of the Hickory Flat Lady Rebels. |
