Byers sweeps rival Hawks By CLAUDE VINSON In an intra-county contest with nothing at stake except bragging rights, the Hawks of Holly High traveled to the Lions’ Den January 29 to do battle with a long-time rival. The tip in the girls’ game went to Holly High but the possession never made it to the basket. The ball-hawking skills of the Lady Lions were burying the Lady Hawks’ offense. H.W. Byers’ scoring was distributive and piling up against a team using a short roster. The Lady Lions took the first frame 28-12. Lady Cards land top district seed By BARRY BURLESON The Potts Camp girls put a couple more wins under their belts last week as post-season play nears. The Lady Cardinals slipped past Region 2-2A foe Walnut to finish 5-0 in Region 2-2A play. They also turned back Class 3A Alcorn Central and improved to 21-4 overall. Indians down Winona in OT By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia welcomed a pair of division schools to town last week – winning three of four games. M.S. Palmer visited Thursday night for Region 3-3A matchups. The Lady Indians cruised to a win, while the Indians lost a heartbreaker at the buzzer. Marshall boys beat MRA by 18 By BARRY BURLESON Marshall Academy passed a strong test last week in Jackson as it tunes up for tournament time. The Class AA Patriots blistered big school Madison Ridgeland Academy 68-50. Behind The Scoreboard It was a great Super Bowl As Don Meredith used to try to croon at the end of his broadcasts in the old football days, “You can turn out the lights, the party is over.” Another great mark in the football annals was etched in stone on Sunday. Of course, there are disappointments and some anguish which will take a while to be salved, but it will happen. As for the game itself, the fans got their money’s worth, and I don’t mean the ones who fell prey to the unmerciful scalpers at the last minute. Byers gets wins By BARRY BURLESON H.W. Byers basketball teams combined for an eight-for-eight week. Sandwiched around a sweep of rival Holly Springs (see separate story) were pairs of wins over Independence, Myrtle and Hickory Flat. Holly High wins division games By CLAUDE VINSON The Lady Hawks came out in their game Friday night at home living up to the mascot name. They were hawking the basketball from the very start. The Kossuth Lady Aggies had a 14-9 overall record and a 2-2 division mark. Kossuth didn’t know quite what to make of the pressure which the Lady Hawks were putting on the ball early. They were easily taking the ball away. Holly High sank a pair of three balls and left the floor 16-12 at the end of one. Potts Camp holding youth sports signup The Town of Potts Camp announces registration has begun for youth baseball and softball and will continue through March 22. Forms may be picked up at Potts Camp Town Hall between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily. Fees for participation are $40 per child and $20 for each additional child. Former Hawk Hannah earns MVP honors in January Clevin Hannah, a former Holly Springs High School Hawk, continues to impress on the professional basketball circuit. On January 25, the point guard had an outstanding game for second-ranked Evreux (France) in the European League. He received a Eurobasket.com ProB Player of the Week award. |
