MA Patriots enjoy productive spring By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy had just five days of spring football practice but new head coach Bart Jenkins said it was plenty. “All five days were extremely productive,” said Jenkins, who is stepping up from his role as assistant coach the past two seasons. “A lot of people shoot for different things in the spring. I like to focus on terminology and the basics of what we’re trying to do, and I feel we got everything done that we needed.” Ole Miss Lady Rebs hosting camps The new Ole Miss women’s basketball coaching staff announces several camps this summer.
