SportsReportThompson named Coach of Year By BARRY BURLESON
It’s a huge individual award for Jason Thompson but all his Lady Lions share in it, too. The H.W. Byers basketball coach has been named Girls Coach of the Year by the Mississippi Association of Coaches, for all classifications (1A-6A). He will receive the award June 28 during a banquet in Jackson. Hawks gain experience in spring By CLAUDE VINSON It is spring and that means football takes the stage for a brief moment. The Holly High Hawks were in scrimmages last Friday night at the home field of the Ripley Tigers. County athletes shine at state By BARRY BURLESON Marshall County had some first-place finishes at the recent State Track and Field Meet, plus other strong showings. In Class 3A, Anthony Jones of Holly Springs High School took the gold medal in the discus (148-06), while Shandricka Sessom of Byhalia placed first in the high jump (5-04). Jones new Cardinal basketball coach By BARRY BURLESON Kenzaki Jones wasn’t really looking to make a move. But a phone call from a friend about the Potts Camp job sparked his interest. Behind The Scoreboard Grizzlies One day before the New York Knicks denied the Indiana Pacers’ quest for elimination and forced a sixth game in their series, I came home and saw that I had received a call from Dr. Edward (Tony) Rankin in D.C. When I reached him the next day, he told me how much he and his brother Michael had enjoyed my coverage of the NCAA playoffs online. Tony is an orthopedic surgeon (his wife holds a Ph.D.) in D.C. and Mike is a judge in the nation’s capital (his spouse is also a judge).

Cardinals still have ‘kinks to work out’ after spring By BARRY BURLESON Shane Stone saw a lot of learning this spring, ending with scrimmages versus Mantachie and South Pontotoc last Thursday. “We have some new faces in some new places,” the Potts Camp head football coach said. “It was a good spring with young kids stepping up and filling holes.” Lady Card 5K set for June 8 in Potts Camp The Lady Cardinal 5K Run/Walk will be held Saturday, June 8, at Potts Camp High School. It starts at 9 a.m. Registration is available at Racesonline.com (complete online registration form or mail-in form) or forms are available at Potts Camp High School.

Dees gets hole-in-one at Kirkwood On May 13, while playing in the ECS Basketball Golf Classic Tournament, Mike Dees of Ripley aced the Par 3, #12 hole (99 yards) at Kirkwood National using his pitching wedge. In addition to making the hole-in-one, Dees was also playing on the first-place team in the tournament. Teammates/witnesses were Benny Carter, Ray Greer and Tom Rowland. |
