The streak has ended for the Lady Raiders. Benton Academy earned their second win on the season, 42 days from their first one, Tuesday night, 42-26 over Central Holmes.
The Raiders however couldn’t follow suit in the second game of the double header, falling 68-41.
Sarah Burdine and Nora Grace Davis combined for 25 of the team’s total points in the victory.
The Lady Raiders offense really got going in the second half, scoring 11 points and holding a 10 point advantage at the break.
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.
