Before the 2010 basketball season gets underway at Manchester Academy, first year head boys basketball coach Mark Alexander has already had setbacks. The success of the varsity football team reaching the playoffs, which includes at least four starters on the court, has put basketball on hold; for now.
Alexander was able to work with the players a little bit over the summer, traveling to various camps around the region trying to get an idea of what the team will look like.
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.
