World Series bound

Since August, the Yazoo Tornadoes select baseball team have been blowing away the competition.
Now they need the community’s help in going to the USSSA 7 and under World Series in June in Gulf Shores, Ala.
The squad, made up of 10 seven year olds from around the area have won five of the six tournaments they’ve entered.
Their only second place finish came last month in Lafayette, La., losing 8-7 in the title game. Other than that, their record is spotless.
“Those kids are fearless,” head coach Eric Poe said. “They’ve never given up. We’ve come from behind in a bunch of different ball games and won. They don’t give up.”

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.
