Indians stopped by Warriors in ground battle By CLAUDE VINSON The Byhalia Indians were on the road last Friday night to what some consider as the “tip of the Delta.” They engaged the Senatobia Warriors in a rough ground battle for most of the game.

Behind The Scoreboard Little hype for world event During a weekend when a goodly portion of the United States was preparing for the buffeting from Hurricane Irene and the area not expected to feel the fury, or suffer the aftermath, was engaged in other pursuits (mainly football at any level), 202 countries were doing battle in the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in South Korea in the breezy city of Daegu. Hunter Safety Class scheduled A Hunter Safety Class will be held September 12, 13 and 14 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Byhalia High School Library. The school is located at 278 Highway 309 North. Participants must be at least 10 years old to be certified and must bring a Social Security number. For more information and to register for the class, call 662-840-5172.
