The Yazoo City baseball recently wrapped up its summer league play going 5-4-1 while facing some of the top teams in state.
“The summer league gives those players that don’t get much playing time a chance to develop their skills,” Indians head coach Gerald Peyton said.
The Indians, who are coming off a record setting 15 win season, picked up three victories against Vicksburg and two over Yazoo County. Yazoo City would then battle through a gauntlet of talent but dropped three games in losses to Taylorsville and Hattiesburg before falling 6-2 to Sumrall, the number one high school team in the country.
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.
