SportsReportIndians turn back Trojans By BARRY BURLESON
A young group of Byhalia Indians turned up the defensive pressure and got a win over Bruce Saturday in the “O” Town Showdown at Oxford. Coach Todd Hutchinson played one senior, five sophomores and two freshmen in the 66-49 win over the Trojans. District changes coming By BARRY BURLESON Each school in Marshall County will find itself in a new athletic district for two years beginning in August of this year. Both the Mississippi High School Activities Association and the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools have released their new alignments. Center Hill hands MA first loss By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy Patriots lost their first game of the season just before Christmas – a one-point loss to a 5A public school. The Pats, ranked number one in Class AA among the private schools, battled back from a 12-point halftime hole but fell 77-76 at home to Center Hill. Their record went to 12-1. Patriots move to 14-2 By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy Patriots took two of three in the Immanuel Christian School Tournament last week, the lone loss being to highly-ranked public school Aberdeen. MA clobbered Greenville St. Joe and Old Dominion before falling to the Bulldogs, ranked fourth in Class 3A in the state. Lady Lions fall to taller 6A Gulfport By BARRY BURLESON It was a mismatch based on the size of the schools, and the height of the players, too. The scrappy H.W. Byers Lady Lions couldn’t overcome the tall Gulfport Lady Admirals December 22 in the New Site Lady Royal Rumble. The 1A team lost to the 6A squad, 43-39. Holly High teams fall to Coldwater By BARRY BURLESON Holly Springs basketball teams lost a pair by double digits at Coldwater on December 22. The Lady Hawks, coming off their first two wins of the season, dropped a 57-37 decision to the Lady Cougars. H.W. Byers Lions drop two By BARRY BURLESON The H.W. Byers Lions fell to Westwood (Tenn.) and Clarksdale in the Coldwater Shootout. Byers dropped a one-point contest, 61-60, to Westwood Thursday. Baseball camp begins February 3 H.W.
