Union County

Five Union County standouts played the final games of their high school careers on Thursday, participating in the fifth annual Northeast Mississippi Softball Coaches Association All-Star games at Veterans Park in Tupelo.

Danielle Taylor pitched three innings for the West squad, allowing seven hits in the East’s 12-5 win in the fast pitch game.

A semester away from the game he loves was enough inspiration to get Zach Carnell back on the court. After starting at Delta State, then transferring to Itawamba Community College in the spring semester, the former Ingomar standout will now take his talents to J.D. Parker’s Blue Mountain College squad.

Former Bulldogs shined in the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball All-Star game, held at the Corinth City Park last Saturday.

Several New Albany standouts have received postseason honors after the team’s run to the third round of the 4A State playoffs.
