Sliding toward second

Byhalia’s Charlie Lyles and Pat Malone look to both be trying for the tag as Marshall’s John Wesley Ray (5) slides toward second base.

Marshall Academy hosted the Tracy Rodgers Memorial Tournament last week and cruised through the double round robin with a 4-0 record.

After several years of not having the tournament, it was resurrected to pay tribute to the former student athlete who attended the school from 1969-1979. Unfortunately, Rodgers was killed during his junior year in a tragic car accident on October 13, 1979.
