On Jan. 6, the Lady Bulldogs suffered a difficult defeat to Rosa Fort, falling to 0-2 in division play. The events following that game, however, became the story.
Freshman guard Kayla Parker passed out following the 62-61 loss and began having seizures in the trainer’s room at Memorial Gym. After tests at the hospital and some time off the court, Parker has returned, playing a significant part in New Albany’s last two wins over Senatobia and Tupelo.

Earlier this week, I had the chance to sit down and speak with Coach Ron Price, catching up with him since the events from December.
What I listened to that afternoon was inspiring, uplifting and it reminded me of the respect I hold for Coach Price.
What he emphasized the most throughout our conversation was his appreciation for what the community has done for him and his family, as well as a local group that focuses on helping families who are victims of violent crimes.   

 This time two years ago, Summer Sanderson had never set foot on the soccer field, but on Saturday, she led the Lady Bulldogs in the biggest game in school history, hosting Germantown in the second round of 4A playoffs.

“Summer is a refreshing addition to our team. This is only her second season, and prior to that, she had never been to a soccer game,” NAHS coach Les Huntington said. “She fought hard, and she has worked toward improving her skills since day one. She’s come a long way.

 Shelly Parman has seen growth in her team in the last month, a change that has resulted in two division wins for the Lady Urchins.

Winless through mid-January, East Union earned wins over Okolona and Hamilton and will close out division play at Baldwyn on Tuesday.
