Raiders fall hard to Tri-County
| 
| 
FLORA – Benton Academy had just one bad inning. After that, it was different ball game. The Raiders gave up nine runs in the first inning before giving up two more in an 11-1 loss to rivals Tri-County in district action. The Raiders have fallen to 2-3 on the season.
“This was not the start for us that I was expecting,” head coach Brent Woods said.
Costly errors in the field proved to be fatal for the Raiders as Jason Berry, who earned his first loss on the year gave up eight hits and seven earned runs in the first inning.
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.
