SportsReportHistorical day By BARRY
BURLESON
Charles LeSure, Byhalia High School principal, told students gathered in the gym Wednesday, Feb. 6, they were a part of history. Seven Indians were seated at a table at mid-court, ready to ink their names on college football scholarships on National Signing Day and an eighth undecided on his college choice. Lady Lions fall by four to 6A power By BARRY BURLESON It was a pair of David versus Goliath matchups Friday night on Highway 72 in Marshall County. Class 1A H.W. Byers welcomed Class 6A Southaven to close out the regular season. The Lady Lions lost 50-46 and the Lions fell 75-60. Holly High sweeps cross-county rival By CLAUDE VINSON The second meeting of the 3A teams comprising the longest-standing rivalry in Marshall County got underway on the Hawks’ turf on February 5. The Lady Hawks had first possession and both Holly Springs and Byhalia had a few good looks, most from three-point land. Starlandria Walton broke through a pair of Lady Indians and put Holly High on the board. The Lady Hawks scored a couple more before Byhalia’s Shandricka Sessom went to work. She sank a trey and a pair of deuces to open the gates. Some more Lady Indians joined in to make it 15-8 at the end of the period. Marshall boys first in district, girls second By BARRY BURLESON Coach Craig Dailey said his Marshall Academy Patriots simply “did their jobs” at the District 1-AA Tournament. Going in as heavy favorites, the Patriots beat Kirk by 26 points and Indianola by 39 to hoist the championship trophy. Behind The Scoreboard Parity in college basketball? We are one week behind Super Bowl XLVII and about 51 weeks away from Super Bowl XLVIII. As enjoyable and exciting as the season was, it was also suspenseful. As the late season was demised (for want of a better word) on February 3, it is reasonable to record the shuffling of team positions at the end. Don’t worry 49ers’ fans, I am not going to repeat any scores or anything. Three Patriots sign college scholarships By BARRY BURLESON For three Marshall Academy senior athletes, the hard work has paid off. Zack Pritchett, Aaron McAlexander and Brody Martin signed college scholarships Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the school library. Cards knock off Ingomar in OT By BARRY BURLESON Potts Camp basketball teams finished the regular season last week with a sweep and a split. Tuesday of last week, the Lady Cardinals and Cardinals enjoyed home wins over tradition-rich Ingomar. Lady Hawks beat 6A foe By CLAUDE VINSON This was a rubber match between a big (6A Olive Branch) school and a little (3A Holly High) school. The first installment was played across the county line and the little school shocked the big school with a one-point victory. And it appeared that the Lady Conquistadors were not taking any chances this time. They were contesting the Lady Hawks full court from the outset. They out-hustled the Lady Hawks under the boards and led the first quarter by five, 19-14. Patriots stun 5A Center Hill By BARRY BURLESON The Marshall Academy Patriots wrapped up the regular season February 5 with a huge road win. MA avenged an earlier home loss to Center Hill by beating the Mustangs 90-87. Coach Craig Dailey had lots of praise for his team’s effort – a small, Class AA private school knocking off a big, Class 5A public school. Byhalia takes wins at Palmer By BARRY BURLESON Byhalia nailed down a huge win from the free-throw stripe Friday night. The Indians hit 17 of 21 in the fourth quarter in enemy territory and downed M.S. Palmer 67-52 at Marks. The victory lifted the Byhalia boys to 6-4 in the district, good enough for a second seed in the Region 3-3A Tournament. Potts Camp recognizes former players on state championship, runner-up teams By MARY MINOR Potts Camp High School recognized its past basketball state champions and runners-up during a recent celebration. A reception was held for the former basketball players prior to the February 1 games against Alcorn Central. They were also honored at halftime of the games in the Carl White Memorial Gymnasium. |
