Today's Sports

The end of this week officially marks the end of the regular season for softball, and it looks like the divisions are settled and we know who will make the playoffs.
Starting in 1A, I had the chance to watch the Myrtle-West Union series on Monday and Tuesday, with the Lady Eagles taking the sweep to pick up its sixth straight division title. West Union closed out its division slate on Wednesday with a 6-5 win at home against Ingomar to finish a perfect 8-0 in district play.

For one New Albany basketball standout, her storied career took the next step on Wednesday, signing to play at Mississippi State.

Jazmine Spears has entertained fans for the last five seasons, serving as the backbone for the Lady Bulldogs and leading her team to a 4A state title in 2011. The senior will keep the same colors and mascot as she heads to State in the fall.

Hard to believe we’re almost through the regular season for spring sports, and we have only another week before we enter the postseason for baseball and softball.
Next week presents some really good match-ups with seeding for the upcoming postseason on the line.
This is also the time that my head spins, trying to figure out seeding for the postseason. Because most schools keep the Maxpreps website updated, I’ll use that to break down possible seeding.

County coaches met last Thursday, selecting this year’s All-County basketball team, the top players from each school this season.
Headlining  the girls’ selections is Mississippi State signee Jazmine Spears, who led the Lady Bulldogs to a county tournament title, regular season division title and a playoff appearance.
The senior led the Lady Bulldogs, averaging 27.8 points per game and 14.9 rebounds per game. She is joined on the All-County team by teammate Erin Michael Carter.
