SportsReportPatriots improve to 6-0 By BARRY BURLESON
Most everyone left Patriot Field Friday night sleepy and a bit unsure about what they had just witnessed. “It was a weird night,” said Barrett Donahoe, head coach at Marshall Academy. “The whole night, there was no flow.” Marshall Academy survived the strange game, beating District 1-AA rival Indianola Academy 20-12. Hawks trounce Wildcats By CLAUDE VINSON The Holly High Hawks took some positive steps to turn their season around Friday night. They won their homecoming game by an impressive margin and showed what could very well be the makings of a kicking game. State-bound The Marshall Academy Lady Patriots are state tournament bound. MA finished second in District 1-AA and then placed fourth in the North AA Fast-Pitch Softball Tournament at Carrollton. Behind The Scoreboard Heat is on The heat is really being felt in the SEC and it is not solely centered on the play by play. Last week the really glowing headlines were not extolling the exploits of the SEC teams making their runs, but rather about the dissatisfaction of some fans and their perceptions of how these runs were being made. At least two area newspapers carried scathing reports which indicted some college or universities’ leadership from athletic directors to presidents. These were not some obscure ads buried among the gaggle of one- or two-paragraph classifieds, these were full-page ads. They garnered the attention which was intended. Cards lose on road at Rossville By BARRY BURLESON Coach Shane Stone said it’s “back to the drawing board” for his Potts Camp football team. The Cardinals journeyed north to Tennessee Friday night and lost 35-20 to Rossville Academy. Their season record went even at 3-3. MA ends season with loss at Manchester The Marshall Academy soccer squad ended its season Tuesday of last week with a 7-0 road loss at Manchester Academy. “We were outmatched but we did not play our best soccer either,” said coach Lance McGregor. Lions ‘fight hard’ in loss By BARRY BURLESON An out-manned H.W. Byers team had its chance to hang with district opponent Vardaman in the first half Friday night at home. But the Rams led 12-0 at the break and scored 23 points in the third quarter to batter the Lions 35-0. Jr. high Pats still unbeaten The offenses were in high gear Thursday night. The Marshall Academy junior high football team left Indianola Academy with an exciting 30-26 win over the Colonels. The Patriots raised their perfect record to 4-0 (3-0 in District 1-AA).
Indians fall at Lewisburg By CLAUDE VINSON The Byhalia Indians faced their next-to-the-last game on their four-game road swing last Friday when they visited the Lewisburg Patriots. The Indians won the toss and elected to take the ball first. The Indians didn’t waste any time in lighting up the big board. Andrey Collins took a handoff from Markiese Rodgers and ran for six points. Devonte Norman got the call next and scored the deuce. Byhalia was up 8-0 in a matter of minutes in the opening quarter. Heritage Classic a year older By CLAUDE
VINSON If the Southern Heritage Classic came into its own at 21 last year then the addition of this year’s offering only solidified the tradition. To just say “tradition” is a meager way to describe a stellar event which has spanned two decades of providing an almost unmatchable weekend of the highest grade of enjoyment and entertainment. Throngs of thousands make the annual pilgrimage each year to bask in the activities surrounding a collegiate football game. College game Saturday at park Shepherd Technical College of Memphis, Tenn., will host its homecoming football game versus Southeast Texas Tech in Holly Springs. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at Sam Coopwood Park. The park is located on East Salem Avenue (Highway 4 East). Admission is $7 per person. |
