OpinionFielder’s Choice A tragedy A few weeks back coach Devin Rutherford struggled with a decision, whether to stay at Byhalia or leave for White Station. One of the reasons he had difficulty making up his mind was high school football players like Terrell Richmond. “He and some other kids were the reason why it took me so long to decide,” said Rutherford, his voice cracking on the other end of the telephone. “This is a tragedy.

Thomases share RV adventure across America By MARTHA THOMAS (Editor’s Note: Jimmy and Martha Thomas of Holly Springs are traveling across the USA in an RV. Martha has kindly offered to share her “travel diary” with those of us stuck at home.”) Day 1 We have been packing the RV for a whole week. Finally, it is Sunday morning – Father’s Day – and we are about to head out for an adventure to states we have yet to visit. We will be heading north through Missouri, on to Iowa, then South Dakota, Montana, and who knows where else.
