SportsReportByers sweeps Byhalia By CLAUDE VINSON
Anyone in Marshall County will gladly tell you that the contests between the schools in Marshall County are high entertainment. And that premise was proven again Tuesday, Dec. 13, in the Lions’ Den. And this is one of the best of the county rivalries, Byers and Byhalia. It matters not that they are a couple of degrees apart in the state classifications, these are pride games. Hawks down rival Devils By CLAUDE VINSON This was the rubber match between these two intercounty rivals – Holly Springs and Ashland. The first meeting was at Ashland on December 2 and that one was a split. Friday night, the Lady Devils’ defense was holding the Lady Hawks way outside and they weren’t connecting on any long balls. The Lady Devils were up 12-3 at the end of the first period. Patriots grab win in ‘tough place’ By BARRY BURLESON It was a hardwood classic, bringing back memories of the Marshall Academy-Fayette Academy basketball rivalry of years ago. The 2011-12 edition of the Patriots spoiled the closing of the tradition-rich gymnasium in Somerville, Tenn., with a 60-47 win in enemy territory Saturday night. The Lady Vikings and Vikings will soon move into a new gym on campus. Behind The Scoreboard Chiefs pull shocker over Packers There were a few major developments in the NFL over the weekend and some of the standings in the run for the end-of-season playoffs were changed. However, before we get to that, how about something that is totally unrelated to the subject? Holly High teams lose to Wildcats By CLAUDE VINSON The teams from Independence seem to be making it a habit of defeating Marshall County teams this season. They had taken a pair from Byhalia on December 6 and did the same to Holly High six days later. Lions rout Rebels By BARRY BURLESON The H.W. Byers Lions visited the West Oktibbeha Christmas Shootout Tourna-ment Saturday and left with a 17-point win. The Class 1A Lions, coached by Trey Lawrence, dominated Class 2A Scott Central 76-59 and improved their season mark to 6-2. Basketball sign-up continues Holly Springs Parks and Recreation Department registration for men’s and women’s winter basketball is now open. The fee for each team is $200. Please register at city hall Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration deadline is December 26. Lady Cardinals go to break 7-7 By BARRY BURLESON The Potts Camp girls delivered a nice Christmas gift to head coach Tana Miller last week. The Lady Cardinals went to the holiday break with wins over rival Ashland and Class 4A Lewisburg to even their overall record at 7-7. Byers Lady Lions hosting Magic Citi Showdown Some of the best girls basketball teams from four states will gather at H.W. Byers High School two days next week, December 22-23, for the Magic Citi Showdown. States represented are Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois and Georgia. There will be nine games Thursday and eight Friday at H.W. Byers. Byhalia girls nail free throws for district win at North Panola By BARRY BURLESON Some huge steals snatched momentum for the Byhalia girls Friday night. Then they nailed down the win from the charity stripe. Coach Renee Crenshaw’s team evened their district mark at 1-1 with a 52-44 road win at North Panola. MA players earn all-district honors Several Marshall County Patriots received recognition with the announcement of the All-District 1-AA football team for 2011. Receiving first-team honors on offense were Kevin Fitzpatrick, Chase Ferrell, Aaron McAlexander, Neil Murphy and Brody Martin. Byers DVDs still available Documentary DVDs from the H.W. Byers Lady Lions’ state championship season of 2010-2011 are still available. The cost is $10 each. The DVDs are available from the Athletic Booster Club at H.W. Byers High School. Proceeds from the sale of the DVDs will go toward the purchase of state championship rings for the members of the H.W. Byers girls basketball team. The DVD, produced by Ben Guest, follows the Lady Lions from pre-season practice all the way to the Class 1A state championship game, where they beat Coldwater.
