County clashes • Byers takes two from Potts Camp By CLAUDE VINSON Editor The Lady Cardinals and Lady Lions met Friday in their first of two rivalry games of the season. This was a rivalry on both levels, district and county. The
tip went to the Lady Lions but it was quickly claimed on a rebound and
Lady Cardinal sparkplug Tenesha Woods turned it into a three the old
fashioned way. Byers erased that early stat and went out front. Potts
Camp was keeping pace with the visitors, hovering around two points
until Zana Davis sank a trey to put the Lady Cards up by one. The Lady
Lions bounced back quickly and won the opening frame 18-14. Full Story

Behind The Scoreboard By Claude Vinson Wild weekend Well, if you like surprises, then this past weekend was all about and for you. But
before we get to all of that, we need to recognize the fact that the
Razorbacks sort of let the SEC effort down (sorry, Arkansas fans). I
just thought it was understood that the intent was to completely
demolish the Big Ten this season. There was a time near the end when it
looked as though Ryan Mallett and crew were going to take care of the
charge. However, the Buckeyes, the winningest team in the NCAA
historically, held on for the win. It can’t be all bad since there have
been only four losses, thus far, from the entering field of ten from
the SEC. Full Story
