bas
also had its share of
disap–
pointments
this
~ear,
but the Lions still have one accomplishment
within
thetr
reach -
to
fmisb
at .500.
''That's the thing we' re shooting for." head coach Randall
Bradberry said .
" If
we win, we
will
still have either the fifth or sixth
best record
in
the state.''
Winning a close one against
~1ississippi
Delta Junior College last
week may
lift
the LIOns' spirits high enough
to
beat Copiab-Lincoln.
"We knocked them (Mississippi Delta' out of the playoffs. I guess
you can say that
will
give a little extra lift."
According to Bradf:>erry, the Lions can expect some of their
players
that
were burt during most of the season to come back for
the last game Bradberry said Ken Cooper , one of EMJC's top runn–
mg backs,
will
probably see some action this week as well as
Richard Honeycutt at defensive end.
• EMJC will play Copiab-Lincoln at Scooba Thursday night at
7:30.
Also on Thursday night, Mississippi Delta will
be
at Northeast
Mississippi. Saturday action includes Jones at Coahoma, l tawamba
at HindS, Holmes at Pearl River and Northwest Mississippi at
Mississiooi Gull Coast.
