For the Herald
The Yazoo BASSMasters held their season-opener tournament this past weekend in Humphreys County.
The weather was gorgeous, but the fishing was tough, as the low weights from the weigh-in indictate. Here are the Top 5 from this event:
1. Bernie Massey: 5 bass. Total weight: 10lbs. 8oz. Big bass was 2lbs. 5oz.
2. Rick Morgan: 5 bass. Total weight: 9lbs. 8oz. Big bass was 2lbs. 12oz.
3. Matt Smith: 5 bass. Total weight: 9lbs. 4oz. Big bass was 3lbs. 5oz.
4. Dewey Hood: 4 bass. Total weight: 6lbs. Big bass was 2lbs. 5oz.
5. Richard Morgan: 3 bass. Total weight: 5lbs. 2oz. Big bass was 1lb. 12oz.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
