SportsReportCounty rivals By CLAUDE VINSON
The Byers Lions got their share of hits Friday in their tilt with the Cardinals of Potts Camp but they were not enough to turn back the visitors. Corderrious Stone was first on the hill for the Lions and he held things down in the top of the first inning. Two pop-ups and his third bagger killed the runner trying for home with a throw to the plate. Marshall selects football coach By BARRY BURLESON Barrett Donahoe wants to keep a good thing going. He was recently named the new head football coach at Marshall Academy. He will replace Keith Wicker, who retired after taking the Patriots to the state playoffs in all four of his seasons at the helm. Patriots take three from West Memphis By BARRY BURLESON A District 1-AA championship is within the grasp of the Marshall Academy. The Patriots, who swept West Memphis Christian (Ark.) last week, face Kirk Academy next in their final three-game district series of the season. MA enters this week’s competition at 7-2 in the district and 14-8 overall. Behind The Scoreboard Fantastic Final Four OK, I’ll be the first to say it, “The Butler did it.” Well, actually the Butler Bulldogs did it. They have come into their own within the last three years. In the previous season they were virtually a giant-killing force. In the current season they teamed with another to systematically eliminate some of the biggest contenders. As is always the case in a shootout when you have two fast guns, it is almost inevitable that sooner or later they are going to have to face each other. Jr. high girls win first By BARRY
BURLESON Marshall Academy hosted its second track meet of the season March 30 with the varsity boys taking third place and the junior high girls first. The Patriots’ 48 points trailed first-place Walnut with 66 and second-place Tupelo Christian Preparatory School with 50. Lady Cards split games The Potts Camp Lady Cardinals played in Tupelo Friday night, March 25. The first game was against Booneville. The Lady Cardinals started well, scoring in the first inning, but they were unable to pull off a win. They fell 4-3 to the bigger school. New schedule in place for MA football squad By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy fans will see some schedule changes in coach Barrett Donahoe’s first season. The Mississippi Association of Independent Schools, after realignment of its schools for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 athletic seasons, released the slates last week. New opponents for Marshall include Immanuel Christian, Lee Academy (Clarksdale), Carroll Academy, Pillow Academy and Potts Camp.
