When Yvette Edwards Cook was only eight years old, she thought her one shot at tennis was over.
It was her first lesson, and she was eager to leave her racquet on the court.
“I told my mother that I didn’t want to ever play again,” Cook said. “I put the racquet down and never looked back.”
But her instructor that day saw something in Cook. There was a talent.
“He told my mother, ‘do everything you can to keep her in it,’” Cook said. “He said, ‘she has talent.’”
Cook walked back onto the court a few years later at 11 years old. A year later, she played in her first tennis tournament.

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.
