Lady Raiders looking to repeat

Samantha Carollo returns this season to help the Lady Raiders try and repeat for another title.Benton Academy returns to the hard court this week with several familiar faces, but a new head coach patrolling bench.
Former Clinton Christian athletic director Mike Swindle takes over a program that won its first North State title in a decade.
“I’m glad to be here,” Swindle said Monday as Benton hosts their season opening tournament. “I’ve got a great group of girls that work hard.”
Just a handful of players return from a 2009-10 team that finished 19-10 and won six of their last seven games before falling in the playoffs.
Six of the eight girls on the varsity squad have had several minutes of experience including Alex Chandler, Kaitlyn Mason, Kim Ables, Nora Grace Davis and Samantha Carollo, the best three point shooter on the team Swindle says.
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.
