Lions sweep Cardinals By CLAUDE VINSON The 10-0 Lady Cardinals got off to a good shooting start Friday night with one of their stars, Zana Davis, leading the way. The Potts Camp girls jumped out to an early lead of 7-2 over rival H.W. Byers before a loyal noisy crowd in their gym. There had been some speculation around the area as to whether the Lady Cardinals could hang with the high-powered offense of Byers. Potts Camp led the entire quarter and was up 20-16 at the end. Indians honored on All-State team By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia High School’s football program received plenty of notoriety when the Class 3A All-State team was announced last week by the Clarion-Ledger newspaper. Four Indians were honored for their performances in 2012. MA basketball teams enjoy winning week By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy teams tipped off the District 1-AA portion of their schedule with wins Tuesday, Dec. 4, at home. The Lady Patriots began the evening with a 43-27 win over Carroll Academy. Holly High squads split with Senatobia By CLAUDE VINSON The 4A visitors came to Hawk land Tuesday night, Dec. 4, with a 7-1 record and picked up the first deuce on a fast break. After that the Senatobia Lady Warriors went through the back door often. The Holly Springs girls were down nine points (10-1) for awhile until they got some production from Megan Crittle. However, they were still chasing the Lady Warriors 17-8 at the end of the quarter. Two Patriots All-MAIS A pair of Marshall Academy Patriots have been named to the 2012 All-MAIS Football Team. Honored with spots on the First Team Defense by the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools were defensive lineman Zack Pritchett and defensive back Aaron McAlexander. Both Pritchett and McAlexander are seniors. They helped lead the Patriots to a Class AA state runner-up finish this season. MA won the North Half by beating District 1-AA rival North Delta and finished with an 11-3 record. Behind The Scoreboard Heisman Trophy to coaching carousel Crazy world is this sport of football, but exciting at any level. This past weekend provided some really interesting highlights, some of which could be termed amusing, perplexing and even astounding. Someone once wrote that sometimes “astounding” subs nicely for the word “stupid.” For the sake of not solidifying these within one particular context, yours truly will not point out any pertinent references. Byhalia begins district with wins By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia basketball teams started the district race on a winning note Tuesday, Dec. 4. Both the Indians and Lady Indians picked up single-digit road wins over Region 3-3A foe Independence. Potts Camp girls down Calhoun City Potts Camp began Region 2-2A play Tuesday of last week with a split versus Calhoun City at home. The Lady Cardinals used big first and third quarters to roll over the Lady Wildcats 74-56. Lady Lions 9-1 after win over 6A foe By BARRY BURLESON The goal for the H.W. Byers Lady Lions is obvious – a three-peat. Ten games into a new season, they’re on track to win a third straight Class A state championship. They’re 9-1, the lone loss coming to 6A Southaven, the number one team in the state. Holly High falls at Ripley Holly Springs suffered a pair of double-digit losses Thursday night at Ripley. The Lady Hawks dropped an 86-66 decision. Correction Alayna McClure of H.W. Byers sank a shot at the buzzer versus Byhalia on November 30. Her shot made the final score 92-46 in favor of the Lady Lions. In last week’s article about the game, the player was misidentified due to a change in uniform number.
