Patriots torch Devils with eight TDs By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy ran about half as many offensive plays as Tunica in the first half Friday night, but five of those 15 resulted in points. The Patriots were up 20 at the intermission and went on to blast the Blue Devils 54-21. Indians ‘give ball away’ in setback By BARRY BURLESON The Byhalia Indians got bit by the turnover bug Friday night in their home opener. They gave the ball away six times and fell 21-14 to Senatobia. “We beat ourselves,” coach John Danley told his squad, huddled around him at midfield after the game. “Six turnovers – you can’t win like that. We have to learn to take care of the football.” Hawks sting Hornets By CLAUDE VINSON The Holly High Hawks rallied in the fourth quarter Friday night at Sam Coopwood Park to snatch their first win of the season. The Class 2A J.F. Kennedy Hornets were set to receive the ball first when William Talley teed it for an onside kick for the 3A Hawks. It traveled the legal distance and was covered by Holly High at the 41. Ronnell Boyland was calling signals for the Hawks. They were stopped twice with no gain at the line of scrimmage. The try for a fourth conversion was too short and the ball went over on downs. MA Lady Patriots keep on winning The Marshall Academy softball squad moved to the top of the District 1-AA standings last week. The Lady Patriots improved to 4-0 in the conference with wins over Carroll and Kirk and also downed Class AAA Magnolia Heights for a 15-1 overall record. Behind The Scoreboard New coaches in pro football There is a reader of this column up in Sturgis, South Dakota, and his name is Tre. He is a former U.S. Air Force member and his spouse is still serving at Ellsworth AFB, S.D. Ellsworth is located at Rapid City and is home to the 28th Bomb Wing, 34th Bomb Squadron and 37th Bomb Squadron (SAC). Tre has been there five years. Hang in there, Tre; I spent four years in North Dakota one week. Why do I know a Tre in South Dakota? It’s a “tech support” thing. Lions fall in final seconds to Strayhorn By BARRY BURLESON It was a tough loss Friday night for H.W. Byers but coach James Kimbrough saw lots of improvement. Strayhorn scored with just 19 seconds left and defeated the Lions 20-14. Potts Camp loses at 6A DeSoto Central By BARRY BURLESON The Cardinals’ game plan went well in the first quarter Friday night. MA Lady Patriots ‘leave it all on field’ versus Bayou Lance McGregor’s young Marshall Academy soccer team, still in search of its first victory, continues to make strides. Last week the Lady Patriots lost to Lee, Magnolia Heights and Bayou. |
