William Carey blows out Selma

William Carey, ranked No. 14 in the NAIA Coaches' Poll, dominated Selma (Ala.) 109-61 Saturday, Nov. 14. Donta Pittman stole the show with a monstrous dunk through contact while scoring 13 points. Pittman was voted as an Honorable Mention All-American before the season. The Crusaders excelled in transition and suffocated Selma's offense.

Oak Grove advances to the second round

Oak Grove (10-2) beats Ocean Springs (9-3) in the first round of the 6A Mississippi State Playoffs. Quarterback Alex Ward delivered a tremendous performance after dealing with a bad stomach virus the night before. Ocean Springs' offense is unconventional by today's standards and is hard to defend, but the Warrior defense held them in check as Oak Grove picked up the 31-20 win.

The Oak Grove Warriors were bounced from the Mississippi state playoff last season in the second round by their bitter rival, the Hattiesburg Tigers. Despite returning just one starter, head coach LaRon Broomfield and senior point guard Xavier Daniels expect big things in the coming season. However, their lack of size could be their Achilles heel.

When Caitlin Jenkins was 11, she fell out of a tree and broke her ankle. She wound up getting a staph infection that left her hospitalized for four months and nearly had to get her leg amputated. After doctors told her she may never walk again, she not only walked, but she sprinted. Now the starting center for Southern Miss as a true freshman, Jenkins reveals how the injury continues to motivate her today.

I went around the Southern Miss campus with a simple question--but with complicated wording.

The Southern Miss Golden Eagle basketball team is looking to put last year's disappointing season behind it. Coming off the heels off a lengthy NCAA investigation and self-imposed postseason ban, USM hopes to improve on its horrid 9-20 record. Senior Norville Carey is the only returning starter and should finally be the focal point of the USM offense as well as the team leader.

Southern Miss junior goalkeeper Brittany Taylor set the school record for career saves in a 2-1 double overtime victory over UTSA. Taylor had 4 saves in the contest and credits her teammates for helping her fit in on and off the field.
