Jon Andy Scott is living his dream despite having  potentially career ending surgery.

NAHS cheerleading is looking toward the future, as plans are in the process for the squad to have their own practice facility.

As approved in the June 1 school board meeting, coaches Mary Beth Muncie and Neely Robertson, along with the board are taking bids for the building, which could be open as early as October.

"We need a practice facility," Muncie said. "It's like asking  the football team to practice on 60 yards, then on Friday night telling them you have to go out and win on a 100 yard field. That's how we're limited right now."

Tallahatchie remains undefeated on the season after picking up a pair of wins Monday night against the North Delta Dealers.

Rascals 3 Dealers 2

After being suspended from Friday night, the Rascals picked up the win in extra innings, defeating the Dealers 3-2.

Going to 12 innings, the game resumed with Tallahatchie at bat on Monday night after they held the Dealers in the top of the inning. Chris Lucius walked to start off the Rascals, with a single by Ben Wallis placing runners on the corners, and a basehit by Corbin Moore gave the Rascals the win.

Eagle fans will have a familiar face on the sidelines in 2009, as Joey Baird returns to his alma mater to take the helm of West Union boys basketball.

When searching for a replacement, county superintendent Ken Basil found just what he wanted in his former player.
