New Albany Bulldogs

The Lady Bulldogs played with a heightened intensity and held a 1-0 advantage until a late surge lifted New Hope in their win over New Albany on Saturday.

  New Albany topped a successful week on the hardwood with an impressive 72-47 win at Columbus Thursday night.

Picking up a 70-20 win over Kossuth Tuesday night, the Bulldogs took their tenacious defense on the road, opening the game scoring 28 straight points before Kevin Hargrove put Columbus on the board with less than a minute remaining in the first. Holding the Falcons to that single basket in the frame, Tadarious Coburn led the ‘Dawgs with 14 first half points, as New Albany went to the break up 43-14.

Itawamba Community College women and men’s soccer coach Mike Sullivan announced sophomore defenders Katelynn Davis (Cordova, TN) and Logan Ayers (Tupelo Christian) were selected as National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Region 23 team.

Some of the biggest games for New Albany this season have been defined by one play, and it took just that to spark the ‘Dawgs in their second round road win at Kosciusko Friday night.

Receiving the ball first in the second half of a scoreless game, Kareem Brown returned the kickoff 87 yards, sparking 28 third quarter points for the Bulldogs.
