Hickman (left) of Marshall Academy was recently injured in the
Patriots’ pee wee football game versus Magnolia Heights in
Senatobia.
MA played the Chiefs again Tuesday of last week, Sept. 7, at home and
the Magnolia Heights football team surprised Hickman by presenting him
with a gift basket. Included in the basket was a Mississippi State
shirt signed by former Chiefs Addison and Cameron Lawrence, who are now
MSU Bulldogs. Hickman is a big Mississippi State fan. The Chiefs also
had a personal message for Hickman – “The entire
Magnolia Heights
family has been praying for you and your family and we wish you a
speedy recovery.”

Sports Editor
The
Holly Springs Hawks returned to their own turf last Friday night for a
showdown with another non-district foe.
They
deferred the opening reception and the Rosa Fort Lions received the
ball at their 43. Their next play drew a large penalty but 5 of those
yards were back by a face mask penalty. Their quarterback, Bernardrick
McKinney, was operating from the shotgun and tried a sweep keeper off
left tackle. He was met by Lexter Mull. The Hawks had held the Lions to
a 1-yard gain on their first series.
