SportsReportMarshall County rivalry By CLAUDE VINSON
The dance hall filled almost to capacity about 15 minutes before the games started. H.W. Byers versus Holly Springs – this is one of the great intra-county rivalries. Teams and spectators attach great importance to these matchups although they have no playoff implications for either school. It is just tradition. Lady Hawks taste victory By BARRY BURLESON It was happy holidays for the Holly Springs Lady Hawks. They got their first two wins of the season in tournaments last week at Alcorn Central and Booneville. Patriots take third in holiday classic By BARRY BURLESON
Marshall Academy teams visited Tate County last week and faced mostly DeSoto County opposition. The Patriots finished third in the Magnolia Heights Classic at Senatobia – beating Lewisburg, losing to DeSoto Central and defeating Hernando, all much larger DeSoto County public schools. Behind The Scoreboard Playoffs (Editor’s Note – This column was written Saturday, Dec. 31, to meet early newspaper deadlines due to the New Year’s holiday.) We are already into the final week of the regular season in the NFL and there is still a scramble for the cream to rise to the top. As of December 28, there were still three division titles up for grabs and one wildcard spot. All the teams with the best records had already firmly ensconced themselves in the most envious positions. Byhalia girls go 1-3 in tourney By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia basketball teams both visited neighboring Tennessee for tournaments last week. The Lady Indians went 1-3 in the four-day Dragonfire Invitational at Collierville. The Indians went 0-2 in the Fayette-Ware Classic. Lady Cards go 1-2 in tight games By BARRY BURLESON Close games were common for the Potts Camp Lady Cardinals last week. In holiday tournaments, they won by three and then lost a pair of games by two and three. The Potts Camp girls came up with the big steals and buckets in the fourth quarter to beat the host team 43-40 December 27 in the Alcorn Central Holiday Hoops Tournament. Holly High players named all-district Several Holly Springs High School football players were recognized on the All-District Team for the 2011 season. Four Hawks made the Region 1-3A “Super 22.” Those are linebacker Shaquille Faulkner, defensive lineman Tyjae Jones, punter Michael Garrett and safety Eric Hardin. Byers Lions drop two By BARRY BURLESON The H.W. Byers Lions lost their two games last week in the Coldwater Christmas Tournament. Byers fell 61-59 Tuesday, Dec. 27, to Independence after trailing 33-27 at the half. Anthony Mabon had a game-high 20 points for the Lions. Jarvis Jones followed with 14.
