SportsReportByers claims historical win By BARRY BURLESON
H.W. Byers was in a familiar spot at halftime Thursday night. The Lions led a Region 1-Class 1A opponent 22-8, just as they had two weeks before. But this time the final outcome was much different. They celebrated the first district football win in school history, 36-8, over Houlka. The game was played at Okolona High School. Hawks beat Aggies By BARRY BURLESON A touchdown and a goal-line stand lifted Holly Springs to its first win of the season Friday night in the Delta. Peter Thigpen scored on a 2-yard run for the game’s only points. Then the Hawks’ defense stopped Coahoma AHS four times inside the 3-yard line to earn the 6-0 win. Ground game powers Patriots By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy’s game plan Friday night was simple – run the football. Carroll Academy got a steady dose of Chase Ferrell. The senior carried 27 times for 283 yards and four touchdowns in the Patriots’ 40-10 homecoming win. Indians defang Panthers By CLAUDE VINSON Two of Marshall County’s football teams traveled to the same location last Friday to contest different foes.

And both came away winners. Behind The Scoreboard Playoff time The playoffs in the WNBA got into full swing over the weekend, having begun last Thursday night.
