SportsReportJenkins steps up to MA head football coach By BARRY BURLESON
Bart Jenkins couldn’t be happier. Last week the 32-year-old was named the head football coach at Marshall Academy. He has been on staff the past two years as an assistant, running the defense. He also worked at MA in 2002-03. “I’m absolutely in love with Marshall Academy,” Jenkins said. “I love everything about it – the kids, the teachers, the administrators – I’m really glad this has worked out the way it has.” Jenkins is also the head baseball coach at MA and he will retain that position. Byers sweeps Potts Camp By CLAUDE VINSON This was another of those classic intra-Marshall county rivalry matchups – H.W. Byers versus Potts Camp. It matters not how the teams have played thus far. Ratings and standings have nothing to do with it. In these contests, the teams come to scrap. Reed scores 39 in Lady Indians’ win By BARRY BURLESON Oh, what a night it was for Byhalia’s Kimberly Reed. The freshman hit eight three-point shots and scored 39 points in the Lady Indians’ 67-31 win Friday at Winona. Lady Hawks down district foe Devils By Claude Vinson The Holly Springs Lady Hawks were all business when they came out against the Booneville Lady Devils Tuesday night, Jan. 24. They took a 7-0 lead within the first three minutes of this Region 1-3A contest. They were using a tight 2-3 defense. They gave the Lady Devils all they could handle in the first quarter at 11-7. MA-Hickory Flat split games By BARRY BURLESON On a night when an overall championship team from 41 years ago was honored, the current Marshall Academy basketball team made a statement as it seeks the same coveted prize. The private school Patriots, with members of the special 1971 squad in the stands, dominated public school Hickory Flat 79-40 to improve their record to 25-3. The defending Class AA state champions are ranked number one in the state. Behind The Scoreboard It’s time for the big game Readers be aware, this article just might be a bit statistical. Since I am the writer I will share the brunt of the blame, but you might want to attribute a smidgen of it to Barbara Taylor (the go-to lady at The South Reporter), who asked me on Friday, “Why is there such a ‘letdown’ feeling when football season ends?” Johnson commits to Rebs A big Byhalia junior has already decided where he wants to play football after high school. Offensive lineman Davion Johnson, who stands 6’5” and weighs 318 pounds, has verbally committed to Ole Miss, according to Markeith Washington, head coach of the Indians. The announcement was made Sunday. Byers takes two from Falcons By CLAUDE VINSON Fur and feathers flew in yet another duel between a pair of district foes in the Lions’ den last Friday night. The H.W. Byers Lady Lions were coming off of a win over non-district foe but county rival Potts Camp the night before. However, this game versus Ingomar had a different look from the opening. Alexis Hardaway was back in the starting line-up and she sank the first basket for the Lady Lions. They went up 18-14 in the first. County basketball summaries By BARRY BURLESON Holly Springs teams visited Kossuth Friday night and left Alcorn County with a pair of nip-and-tuck wins. The Lady Hawks picked up their second straight win, both in Region 1-3A. They beat the Lady Aggies 39-38. Megan Crittle was the top gun with 13 points. KeShauna Payton had 10. Free throw competition scheduled for Feb. 18 All boys and girls ages 10 to 14 are invited to participate in the local level of competition for the 2012 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship. The local competition will be held on February 18 beginning at 11 a.m. at Holy Family School gymnasium on West Street in Holly Springs. BSA announces sign-up Byhalia Sports Association will hold registration for spring and summer T-ball, baseball, and softball on Saturday, Feb. 11, and Saturday, Feb. 25, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Byhalia Town Hall. Again this year, there will be a special age group for 3- and 4-year-old children. This is such a fun age group for both playing and watching. We also have teams for girls ages 5-16 with a 5-6 girls’ softball team and boys ages 5-15. |
