  • Northeast baseball plans to win 'the right way'

    Northeast Mississippi Community College head baseball coach Kent Farris has a saying about results.
    “Winning is not a goal of ours,” Farris said. “Winning is the result of doing things the right way.”
     For Farris, doing things the right way has come in the form of a 144-141 overall record during his first six year as the head signal caller for Northeast after taking over for Ray Scott in 2007.
    During that time, Northeast has qualified for the playoffs in four of the veteran coach’s six years in Booneville.

  • End of the road for standout athletes

    Among the few downfalls to my job is watching the high school careers of the kids I follow come to an end. It has to happen sometime, but the longer I’ve been here, the tougher it is to witness this, especially when you’ve had a career as big as New Albany’s Jazmine Spears.
    I did not make any of the girls’ opening round playoff games on Monday, because of the long distance each of the teams made for their respective first round match ups. I regret this now, as Spears’ career came to an end in the 61-60 loss at Greenwood.

  • Falcons, Bulldogs advance

    The first quarter was everything the Falcons could have hoped for. The lead built in that frame gave Ingomar the momentum needed to take an 82-52 win over Montgomery County on Tuesday.
    Henry Foster seemed unstoppable, going 4-for-4 from behind the arc and posting 17 points in the first quarter, pacing the Falcons to a 31-6 lead. The second quarter went to the Hornets, who out scored Ingomar, 22-13, but Ingomar pieced together a good second half to pick up the win.
