SportsReportLady Lions win gold again By CLAUDE VINSON
One might say that arguably the Lady Cougars of Coldwater and the Lady Lions of H.W. Byers are two of the best teams in all the state in girls basketball. One could certainly narrow that down and say they are by far the best teams in Class 1A. Both their seasons had been building to this final crescendo which was struck in “The Big House” on March 2. MA second overall, finishes season 38-4 By BARRY BURLESON Craig Dailey has coached many great high school basketball teams – but none better than this season’s Marshall Academy Patriots. “I’m so proud of them,” he said. “We were one of the last two standing. This will go down as the best season I’ve had to date.” Behind The Scoreboard Tourney time Unlike football, there is no “letdown” after the high school basketball season ceases. The collegiates’ second “season” just begins to heat up – “March Madness.” ‘Togetherness’ leads to success at Byers By BARRY BURLESON Kyra Gulledge grimaced in pain. This was the state championship game. She’s a senior. She wanted to contribute more on the floor. MA downs Prep By BARRY BURLESON Four hours after losing to Jackson Prep in basketball, the Marshall Academy Patriots beat the big school on the baseball diamond. Class AA Marshall fell to Class AAA Prep by five Saturday afternoon in the Overall Basketball Tournament championship game at Mississippi College in Clinton. Lady Cardinals open with win over Byhalia The Lady Cardinals started their 2011-2012 softball season Thursday. Potts Camp traveled to Byhalia, and with this being the first game for both teams, both wanted to start the season with a win.
Quest for Gold Balls in ‘Big House’ By CLAUDE VINSON “There are strange things done in the midnight sun; By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales; That would make your blood run cold,” as the opening lines in “The Cremation of Sam McGee” are written by Robert W. Service. Probably much less chilling but most exciting is the wonderful time in secondary school athletics when teams come from across Mississippi and finally bring to an end in the Big House their quests for the golden orbs. Tourney winners announced The Mid-South Jr. Bass Club held its first tournament of the 2012 season Saturday, March 3, on Bay Spring Lake near Booneville. There were 18 adult/youth teams competing for top honors in the tournament.

Pleasant, on March 17 from noon until 2 p.m. The cost is $35 per child. The church is located between First State Bank and Dollar General store.
