SportsReport‘A hard-fought game’ By BARRY BURLESON
Marshall Academy had its second lowest point total of the season and Potts Camp its lowest. The first edition of the intracounty football rival, involving two typically high-scoring offenses, turned into a hard-hitting defensive battle. The Patriots knocked off the Cardinals 21-9 Friday night in Holly Springs with a huge crowd on hand. Indians secure playoff spot By CLAUDE VINSON The Byhalia Indians solidly locked up their spot in the playoffs with a home win over M.S. Palmer last Friday night. Playing with their first completely healthy roster since the first game of the season, the Indians began early to extinguish the Dragons’ flames. Palmer won the toss but deferred possession. Lions, Cougars combine for 110 By CLAUDE VINSON
The Coldwater Cougars came to the H.W. Byers Lions’ Den last Friday for a game which had some import for both teams in their quests for a preferred berth in the Class 1A playoff seedings. The Cougars won the toss and elected to receive with Jordan Robinson calling the signals. They logged a pair of quick first downs and then Kalonji Mack skirted left for a runaway six. The conversion try failed and Coldwater led 6-0. Behind The Scoreboard It didn’t appear to be a hard slap What am I supposed to be, some kind of jinx or something? Don’t answer that. It is certainly strange that one week after selecting the Detroit Lions as my team of choice for the future, not based on their undefeated record of 5-0 at the time (hee, hee), they go and lose their first game of the season.

The DVDs are available from coach Jason Thompson at H.W. Byers High School. Hawks’ rally comes up short By BARRY BURLESON A loss last Friday night at Belmont puts Holly Springs in a must-win situation this week to assure itself a state playoff spot. The Hawks fell behind 21-0 in the first half and almost rallied for the win, falling short 21-13. They go to 4-6 overall and 2-2 in Region 1-3A. A road trip to unbeaten Kossuth awaits. The top four teams in the district advance to the postseason. Union wins BMC Invitational
