SportsReportMA goes to 6-1 in district race By BARRY BURLESON
District rivals Marshall Academy and North Delta combined for just eight runs in a three-game series last week. Fortunately for the Patriots, they won two and improved to 6-1 against District 1-AA competition. Byers falls to Myrtle By CLAUDE VINSON The H.W. Byers Lions welcomed an all-too-familiar foe Tuesday of last week. The Myrtle Hawks were in town on an almost perfect day for ball on the diamond. The Lions were putting their 2-1 record up against a team which already had 11 games in its backpack. Cardinals drop district game By BARRY BURLESON Potts Camp had a quiet night at the plate when district opponent Calhoun City visited Tuesday, March 27. The Cardinals managed just two hits in a 14-2 loss to the Wildcats in Region 2-2A play. Meanwhile, the visitors connected for 11 hits. Patriots take third By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy varsity boys placed third and the girls fourth in a track meet March 28 on the MA campus. Walnut placed first in varsity boys with 91 points. Magnolia Heights and Marshall trailed with 51 and 42, respectively. Behind the Scoreboard Final Four I know that you have heard the term before many times but again it has all “boiled down to gravy” in the NCAA playoffs for both men and women. Many of us are perhaps a bit chair weary and bleary-eyed from tracking the progress of the teams which we love and those we love to dislike. Really, it begs to be said that all of these teams which have made it to this point more than deserve our admiration. Lady Cards lose district games The Potts Camp Lady Cardinals traveled to Calhoun City Monday, March 26, to play their second division game of the season. This would be the very first time the Lady Cardinals and the Lady Wildcats faced each other. The Lady Cardinals were excited and ready to go, hoping to take home the victory. However, this was not going to be the Lady Cardinals’ night. National champs The MHEA Lady Eagles traveled to Springfield, Missouri, on March 20 to compete in the 14 under National Basketball Championship. The Lady Eagles, the number one seed, had little trouble winning their first three games by an average of 35 points.
