Perry returns to the Raider bench

Joe White returns for his senior year as one of Benton’s top players from 2009. Win or lose November 5, the Benton Academy's boys basketball team faces a bigger mountain to climb since all but a few players play football and the squads season opener is November 8 against Tallulah.
For new head coach Richard Perry the 2010 season hasn’t even started.
“We got a young team this year, but I think we’ll be okay,” Perry said who makes his return to varsity basketball since 2006. “I’ve got some good athletes. We are going to be slow out of the gates, but you see that a lot in these small schools.”
The Raiders return two starters from last season on a team that was bounced from the first round of the playoffs by Tri-County and finished with a 13-14 record.

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.
