The Cotton States Baseball League is back again this summer, and like in previous years, several talented athletes from Union County will take part in the summer wooden bat league, preparing to play in college.
Eight athletes from the county will play this year: Easton Hall, Mason Maxey, Drew Wray, Alex Boland, Tyler Dowdy, Trey Barkley, Hunter McCreight and Brandon Montgomery. Also, New Albany assistant baseball coach Buddy Hall will be over one of the teams, the Tupelo Thunder.

One of the major contributors to two state championships in tennis for New Albany now has the opportunity to play at the next level.

Mallory Beaty had a difficult decision to make regarding her softball career. The highly recruited athlete from New Albany generated a lot of interest in softball, but a visit to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College was all she needed, and she signed with the school last Thursday.

Another school year has come to an end, and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m thankful for the break.
Of course I use this term loosely, as there are plenty of upcoming events that will occupy my time as it does during this time of the year.
As I normally do at this point, I want to highlight some of my favorite moments from this last school year. There were many emotional moments throughout the last nine months, including several in the final two weeks.
