SportsReportCounty rivals collide By CLAUDE VINSON
The Potts Camp Cardinals got their inaugural varsity football season off to a great start with a surprising romp over county rival H.W. Byers. This was a “home game” for the Cards, who had to change the venue to H.W. Byers because their home field was not ready for opening day. Potts Camp revived football at the school in 2009 and Byers in 2008. Patriots roll past Chiefs By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy wins over Magnolia Heights on the football field are rare. They’re even more difficult on the Senatobia campus. The Patriots won a road game over the Chiefs for the first time in 21 years Friday night. The final was 36-13. Byhalia blisters Braves By CLAUDE VINSON Markeith Washington, head coach of the Byhalia Indians, said he and the Indians hadn’t planned on giving the visiting Tishomingo County Braves much of a chance. “As has been the philosophy for this season’s team during practice and pre-season – pound the ball on the ground,” he said. “Through the middle and around both ends, we are a running team.” Holly High falls to Coldwater By BARRY BURLESON Unfortunately for Holly Springs High School, the turning point in Friday night’s season-opening loss was an injury to its quarterback. The Hawks led 14-12 in the fourth quarter when senior Jaren King was hit and rolled and dislocated his hip. Coldwater rallied for an 18-12 win, and Holly High lost King for the season. Behind The Scoreboard NFL returns I had a telecon with someone from Wild Blue (an internet company) on Sunday afternoon (sorry I didn’t get his name) and out of the blue he asked what was my opinion of the Oakland Raiders. That was an easy answer since I have never picked the Raiders as a team of choice. Bougard, Fayne perform well at national AAU event One of the largest AAU youth track and field meets, with well over 12,700 athletes, took place at the Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans, La., July 30-August 6. Forty-one national records were broken during the course of eight days and 46 states competed including Puerto Rico. Not only did the scorching heat soar, but National Elite Youth All Americans’ Erica Bougard and Godfrey Fayne, both of Byhalia, gave extraordinary performances. Lady Pats go 2-3 for week The Marshall Academy softball team began District 1-AA play last week with a win over Kirk and a loss to North Delta. They also went 1-2 in the Starkville Tournament. MA soccer squad drops three The Marshall Academy soccer team fell 7-0 at home to Indianola Tuesday, Aug. 16. “In the first half we were a little soft, especially on the wings, but in the second half the girls started to play harder and started battling for possessions,” coach Lance McGregor said. |
