Benton Academy shortstop Ryan Smith makes a tag on a would be base stealer in Thursday’s 17-4 win over Clinton Christian.Benton Academy has been unstoppable as of late, winning seven in a row after Monday night’s 12-2 win over Winona Christian.
The Raiders are 10-3 on the season and top last season’s six game winning streak, one of the longest under head coach Brent Woods’ tenure
Winona got things rolling with two runs in the first inning. The lead lasted just a few minutes as the Raiders tied the game after one complete.
John Philip Zeigler broke the deadlock with a solo shot in the third inning before the Raiders exploded for six runs off six hits in the fourth inning after Jason Berry reached base on a hit by pitch.
Berry would go on to be one of five Raiders with at least two hits. He also finished with two RBI. Ryan Smith, Zeigler, Jacob Davis and Hunter Davis rounded out the top hitters.

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.
