MLK Jr. Classic By CLAUDE
VINSON H.W. Byers Lions and Lady Lions played host to a four-school classic January 17 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. The others were Earle (Ark.), MHEA (Memphis Home Education Association) and Ashland. The Byers Lady Lions faced the Lady Eagles of MHEA in their game and it would be easy to underestimate a team of their ilk. They did not show a lot of speed but they did not appear timid. Their playmaking was methodical and effective. They held a one-point lead over the hosts at the end of one period at 8-7. Cardinals split with Ingomar By CLAUDE
VINSON This district contest between Potts Camp and Ingomar had implications which were not readily discernible. First, this was a rubber match and the Lady Cardinals had won the earlier meeting on the Lady Falcons’ court. Secondly, the boys game had star-making potential for one of the coaches. Marshall teams beat Tunica, Indianola, Kirk By BARRY
BURLESON Marshall Academy basketball teams improved their records to a combined 39-15 last week. But more importantly, they remained unbeaten in District 1- AA play with wins over Indianola Academy and Kirk Academy. Behind The
Scoreboard Big game set This was the weekend before the weekend which all football fans eagerly await. They have summarily told themselves that their teams which did not make it would be back next season (at least that is what one fan told himself). But if you could not find your favorite among the four finishers, you might have consoled yourself by bathing in history (as one fan did). And there is perhaps no more colorful history than that which surrounds the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. Lady Lions shock Scott Central By BARRY
BURLESON The H.W. Byers Lady Lions ended a busy week with a big win. The Byers girls stunned Scott Central 57-41 Saturday in the Ackerman Classic. The win over a 2A team ranked ninth in the state’s Super 10 came a day after a 53-51 setback at Myrtle – their first loss to a Mississippi team this season. Holly High girls knock off Dragons By CLAUDE
VINSON Things were pretty frigid all around Tuesday night, Jan. 18, however, the Lady Hawks of Holly High made it sort of warm for the visiting Lady Dragons of M.S. Palmer. Byhalia sweeps Center Hill By BARRY
BURLESON Byhalia teams survived close contests with district rival Center Hill Tuesday night, Jan. 18. The Lady Indians kept their unblemished Region 2-4A record intact with a 56-53 win over the Lady Mustangs. Coach Renee Crenshaw’s BHS squad improved to 7-0 in the district. Kourtney Coleman nominated for McDonald’s All American Games McDonald’s® announces its nationwide list of prep seniors who have been nominated for the 2011 McDonald’s All American Games®. Of the nearly 2,000 nominees announced, 22 players hail from the Mid-South with 16 young men and seven young women players.
Carpenter shines in all-star contest Chase Carpenter, a senior at Marshall Academy, provided the winning kick in the inaugural Who’s The Mann Classic Mississippi-Louisiana All-Star football game Saturday in Baton Rouge. Mississippi won the game 7-6, thanks to Carpenter’s extra-point kick. Carpenter also shined from punt formation. He punted six times and averaged 41 yards per punt. He pinned the ball inside the 10-yard line twice. Carpenter is being recruited by Northwest Mississippi Community College, Delta State University, Mississippi College and Mississippi State University. Cards sweep W. Union By BARRY
BURLESON Potts Camp teams invaded West Union Tuesday of last week and left with a pair of Region 2-1A victories. Tenesha Woods scored more than half of the Lady Cardinals’ points in a 45-40 win. The sophomore poured in 23. Potts Camp trailed 9-7 after one quarter but bounced back to lead 20-18 at intermission. They maintained that two-point lead after three and then outscored West Union 10-7 in the fourth.
