I was at the ACCS games last night and saw Meghan Marchbanks put on a show, she hit 6 three pointers only missing one, and she only missed 2 other shots from the field, a great 24 pt. performance.
ACCS boys had alot of turnovers and missed alot of shots, although I hear that Central Hinds boys are suppose to be one of the better teams in 3A this year, they traded leads quite a few times during the game and this without starting players Garrett Gamberi and Luke Ogden. While most people have left the gym when the boys play, they hung around last night and saw a great ballgame, once the rust is cleaned up, AC and boys coach Bruce Pickle are going to impress some people.
New York Yankee 3rd baseman Scott Brosius is retiring from baseball.
New Orleans Saint William Roaf is out for the season with a knee injury.

Miami stays on top of the football polls and Florida moves into the #2 position.
ACCS does not play today against WCCA, games were cancelled, also ACCS may play at home on Tuesday since Central Hinds had some tornado damage at their school, I'm sure they'll just play at their place instead of ACCS when they play again later on in the season.
Greg Norman wins $1,000,000 in Skins Game. Tiger Woods, Colin Montgomery and Jesper Parnevik also played along side of Norman.
I said earlier in the week that Trinity Episcopal's Chad Ridley had to step it up to advance his team to the finals and he must have read about it here, because he did just what I said! OK Chad, if your reading this listen closely, this is it, you're the leader and the spark plug in this engine. I know that ACCS played Wayne Academy in a preseason game at Copiah Academy and ACCS beat them in 1 quarter of play. Your team can win this game but you all must stay focused for 4 quarters of play, and of course, you have to keep doing those extra things you do every Friday night. Good Luck to the Trinity Episcopal Saints and their Coach's on Thursday up in Clinton, MS....Bring that State Title Home!!!!
I have some inside information that I'll share with you today, ACCS Boy's Basketball is going to be different than years past, alot of new faces combined with some of the old will make a big difference this year. I'm not just saying this because my son Christopher is playing this year but, to add him with (Sr.) Ty Smith, (Sr.) Garrett Gamberi (tough inside right there) (Jr.) Caleb Walker, (Jr.) Bo Brashier, (So.) Glenn Williams, (So.) Luke Ogden and the others that support the cast, and ACCS will be a strong force this year in the MPSA 3A Division. Remember that you read it here first!
Is Triangle the only camp getting any deer? I haven't heard about anybody else, let me know!
Hey! Have you noticed the MissLouSports.Com advertising on Channel 4? I think it's stuck there because of technical difficulties, my wife said that it's been there for over a week.....gee, I hate that!!!! hehehe

Miami finally made it to the #2 spot in the BCS polls, think they were catching a little heat?
Oakland beat Denver last night 38-28.
The big talk in New Orleans is about Kyle Turley and his ejection from Sunday's game. He claims he was protecting his quarterback when he flared up at Jets free safety Damien Robinson at the 3 yard line and it pushed the Saints back to the 20 and probably cost them the chance to tie the game. Am I the only person alive that thinks that Turley is a little off his rocker? I know he's been to emotional all year and cost the Saints alot of yardage with his antics. It's time to grow up....this is the NFL!!!!

I went hunting yesterday evening and didn't get into the woods until a little after 4pm, at 4:25pm a doe walked out and stayed in my food plot until 5:33pm, it was a harvestable doe, but I keep hearing that the bucks are in rut and I waited it out hoping for bigger and better. He never showed. When I got back to the camp, there were 2 does harvested, one by Charlie Sanders and the other by Chris Rasco, this is Chris's 2nd deer so far this year as he harvested a nice 6 pt. last week.

Congratulations to Trinity Coach David King & Chad Ridley for being named Democrat 2001 Coach of the Year and Player of the year respectively.
I was watching ACCS in the Tensas Tournament this weekend and the AC girls did a fantastic job as a team, congratulations to them for a great effort. The boys on the other hand, started slow and didn't wake up until the final quarter of play and had the lead with seconds on the clock, mental breakdowns cost the Rebels the Tournament Championship. There's alot of talent on this team. Once they realize that it's a team effort and not an individual effort, you'll see alot of W's in their column. Good luck Coach Pickle!

I don't list Jr. High games as I just don't have the time nor can I get all the scores, I cover 7 schools in the Miss-Lou and already I can tell that Basketball season is the hardest for me time wise. If someone wants to cover the Jr. High games and give me the scores, I'll be glad to list them on this site.
I do have to mention that the ACCS Jr. High girls won their first game last night over WCCA, the reason I have to mention this is because my daughter, Morgan Rayborn was the leading scorer with 9 pts.....OK, I can go home tonight!
Henry & Beverly Harris from Hot Springs, AR win the Belles & Beaus Couples Scramble at Beau Pre' C.C. with a 2 day total of 14 under. Tom Geoghegan & Sally Durkin of Natchez finished in 2nd place.

Ole Miss to find out if they make a Bowl Game this year, maybe Ole Miss vs. Louisiana Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Well the new BCS Polls are out and things have changed, if Florida loses, Nebraska has a chance to play for the National Championship...whew! That Oregon thing had me nervous, although I think that a Miami vs. Colorado game might be a better matchup as Colorado has been hot at the end of the season. Here's another scenario, if LSU beats Tennessee, Oregon wins the Fiesta Bowl and Nebraska beats Miami, the Oregon Ducks could be the National Champions...as least on paper anyway.....and by the way, the BCS has dumped undefeated BYU from any chances of a Bowl Championship game.
Texas A&M will play either USM or TCU in the GalleryFurniture.Com Bowl, USM & TCU play each other this weekend to see who goes.
LSU & Illinois are probable for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, but Nebraska could play Illinois in the Sugar Bowl if LSU loses to Tennessee.
I'll be at the ACCS vs. Woodville games today, my daughter plays in the first game and my son plays in the last game, so I'll have a good 5 hours of sitting to do, come by and see me if you have the chance and enjoy some good Rebel basketball.....I know the High school boys are 0-3, but keep on watching, they've lost 3 close games and they're getting better!

The Polls have Miami playing Tennessee in the Rose Bowl, if Tennessee can knock off LSU in the SEC Championship. They beat LSU earlier this year but, it was raining and LSU played them a really good game, it will be interesting to see how Tennessee can handle LSU's explosive offense. I think that LSU has a good chance of winning this game and if they do, we could see Miami playing Oregon in the Rose Bowl....gee wouldn't that be fun?
Ole Miss had a good year and they are waiting for a bowl bid, the loss to Miss. State cost them millions!
Atlanta Brave's pitcher John Smoltz agrees to 3 year deal worth $30 million, that's $10 million a year for a closing pitcher....not too shabby!
