SportsReportMA wins fourth straight North By BARRY BURLESON
It was a familiar celebration for Marshall Academy Saturday night. The Patriots claimed their fourth consecutive North Half championship by routing the host Leake Rebels 80-58.
Lady Cards take tourney crown By BARRY BURLESON The Potts Camp Lady Cardinals erased a bad memory Friday night. A year earlier they had lost by one in the finals of the Region 2-2A Tournament. This time around they left no doubts, clobbering Calhoun City 81-56 in the championship game at Walnut. Dominant in district By BARRY BURLESON Last week was a first step in a common process for the H.W. Byers girls. They won their sixth straight district championship as they proceed in hopes of a third consecutive state crown and a fifth state title in six years. Behind The Scoreboard Support our teams The legacy of secondary basketball in Marshall County seems to enrich itself each and every season. This season witnesses another bumper crop of area teams vying for the ultimate prize – the gold balls awarded at the Big House in Jackson, which denotes that a team has made it all the way to the top. Cardinals turn back Bruce in OT thriller By BARRY BURLESON Potts Camp let a lot of late leads slip away this season – but not on this night. Brantley Harris scored with five seconds left in overtime Thursday as the fifth-seeded Cardinals shocked top-seeded Bruce 54-52 in the Region 2-2A Tournament semi-finals. Lady Pats fall to Oak Hill by four By BARRY BURLESON A rally by the Marshall Academy Lady Patriots fell short in the first round of Class AA North State last week. They fell 41-37 to Oak Hill Academy Thursday at Leake and ended their season at 19-15. Lady Hawks eliminated by Belmont By BARRY BURLESON The record itself may not indicate it, but the Holly Springs Lady Hawks took big strides forward this season. The girls were eliminated in round one of the Region 1-3A Tournament Tuesday of last week by an always-talented Belmont squad. Holly High finished 6-16 under the guidance of their new head coach, Sylvester Kilgore. Hawks shock Bears By BARRY BURLESON Holly Springs led Alcorn Central for less than 10 seconds in the Region 1-3A Tournament semi-finals. That was enough. Tyler Brown sank two game-winning free throws with eight ticks to go as the third-seeded Hawks stunned the second-seeded Bears, 49-48. Coach Naylond Hayes’ team, who trailed the rest of the night February 13, rallied from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Byhalia teams finish third, fourth in district, advance to North Half By CLAUDE VINSON Byhalia was paired with a familiar foe in round two of the Region 3-3A tournament at North Panola. The last time the Indians and Charleston met in the regular season, it had been in Indian territory and had ended in a two-point victory for Byhalia (69-67). There was considerably more at stake in this semi-final district game so the intensity level was higher. The Tigers led by five at the end of one. |
