Northview runs past Community Montessori to sectional title game



The Northview Lady Choctaws will have a chance to defend their sectional championship from last season as the orange and white from Newbern needed just two trips to bat to get a 15-0 win over the Mavericks in the TMSAA Class A Section 4 Tournament on Wednesday night in Jackson.

Northview set the tone in the bottom of the first inning, nearly hanging a double-digit inning on the Mavericks. Kate Benedetto singled and scored when Emily Hall reached on an error to put the Lady Choctaws on the board. Lyla Beth Woody singled two batters later and Anna Reid Yates followed with an RBI single to double the Northview lead. Ellie Permenter doubled in a pair of runs before Lilly Tucker walked and Emmalee Sweatt was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Benedetto walked to bring home a run and Harper Peery doubled in two more before Hall reached on an error to score two runs that put Northview on top 9-0 after one inning.

Northview added to its lead in the bottom of the second. Woody singled then Yates reached on an error to score a run. After Tucker drew a walk and the Mavericks recorded an out, Sweatt singled in two runs to put the Lady Choctaw lead at a dozen. Benedetto tripled in a run and Peery followed with a sacrifice fly to score her. After Hall reached on an error Ella Wright singled in a run to put Northview on top 15-0 heading into the third.

From there, the Lady Choctaws allowed only a walk and the only hit of the night by the Mavericks before getting a pair of groundouts to end the game via mercy rule.

Benedetto had a triple and a single in the win with two RBI while Woody added two singles in the win.

Sweatt picked up the win, holding the Mavericks to one hit with three strikeouts in the three-inning victory.

Northview will face Ripley in the TMSAA Class A Section 4 Tournament Championship Game on Thursday night at 6 p.m. in Jackson.

The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel. It was also the first win by a Choctaw team at Dyersburg since 2007. “It was good,” Dubruiel said following the win. “It was good for our kids and good for Dyer County. “Whenever you can beat Dyersburg, it’s a fun night for everybody.” Trailing by a touchdown at the half, Dyer County was able to get a stop on defense, forcing a three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
