HATTIESBURG – Nanih Waiya seniors Tanner Luke and Coley Taylor helped the South to a 6-4 victory in the Crossroads Diamond Club D.M. Howie baseball all star game for 1A and 2A schools. The game was played Saturday at William Carey College.

East Central Community College sophomore outfielder Ken Scott was named to both the National Junior College Athletic Association All-Region 23 Team and the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges All-State First Team for his play during the spring 2019 season.

Normally, it takes freshmen a while to adjust to the speed of the game in college softball.

That certainly wasn’t the case for Eupora’s Delta Claire Newman.

Former Eupora High School football coach Junior Graham will be one of five honorees inducted into the Mississippi Association of Coaches on June 21 at the Hilton Hotel in Jackson.

Joining Graham are Ken Bramlett, Geary Jackson, M.C. Miller, and Kenny Robinson.

East Webster football coach Ron Price knows he’s always got a secret weapon at his disposal. And that secret weapon is kicker Parker Burleson.

East Webster baseball coach Jordan Smith is the head coach for the District 4 team at the State Games of Mississippi in Meridian and has four Wolverines on the team. He is assisted by Cody Silver, his assistant at East Webster.

ACKERMAN — It’s little wonder that college football coaches are finding their way to Choctaw County High School. And it doesn’t take them long to find Israel Whitmore.

Congratulations to the Mississippi State Bulldogs for winning their Super Regional and earning their 11th trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
