Will Bearden makes one of his team best eight tackles Friday night in Batesville. Myra Bean/The PanolianBATESVILLE- North Delta School scored 21 points in the in the opening quarter en route to a 34-0 victory over Manchester Academy Friday night in the first round of the MAIS Class AA playoffs.
The Mavericks (3-8) closed out the season winning three of their last five games. Of those eight losses on the season, six of those were at the hands of teams that made the playoffs.
“They were pretty good,” head coach Bennie McLendon said. “I was just disappointed that we gave them three touchdowns in first seven minutes of the ball game. After that, we played well the rest of the ball game.”
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.
