Spartans By BARRY
BURLESON Marshall Academy used a big bat and a crafty arm to send Prairie View (La.) packing in the playoffs. Vince Hoyt drilled two home runs and Matt Miller pitched a one-hitter as the Patriots spanked the Spartans 7-0 Friday night. Cards sweep Rebels for state playoff spot By BARRY BURLESON The Potts Camp Cardinals, with their backs against the wall, earned themselves a state playoff berth. Coach Andrew Aldridge’s Cards had to beat Hickory Flat twice last week and they did just that, 5-1 and 9-3, to clinch the third spot from Region 2-2A. • Grand opening of new track By MARY MINOR For Potts Camp High School, it was a special day indeed. The Cardinals hosted their first ever track meet on campus April 16 at the new Oakley Sportsplex. Behind The Scoreboard Grizzlies We sports fans have no trouble in transitioning from one sport to another or one level to another. After a very pleasing collegiate season where we saw the making of some history, we move on, effortlessly.

Lady Cards fall short in game one By BARRY BURLESON The Potts Camp girls had their chances in game one of their state playoff softball series Saturday. The Lady Cardinals, who had seven hits, left runners stranded in key situations and fell 1-0 to Riverside. Byhalia bows to Mustangs By CLAUDE VINSON The Indians met the Center Hill Mustangs in Byhalia on April 15. This was a make-up game which had been postponed due to inclement weather. Byhalia sent Jordan Boyd to the hill first. The Mustang batters were getting to Boyd pretty good. The hits were not always clean and clear. They were helped in great part by Indian fielding errors. The Indians missed a chance for an inning-shortening double play because of such an error. Boyd awarded a trio of bases, which resulted in a loaded field for the Mustangs. Junior high teams compete at district The Marshall Academy junior high boys and girls track teams placed third and fourth, respectively, in the District 1-AA meet at Clarksdale April 15. The Patriots, with 34 points, trailed first-place Indianola Academy (143) and second-place Kirk Academy (60.5). Holly High Hawks win division meet By CLAUDE VINSON The Holly High School Hawks mopped up a total of eight gold medallions on their way to climbing to first place in the Division 1-3A track and field trials last Monday, April 15.
