The Dyer County Middle School Lady Choctaws hosted Munford on Monday to open the week and fell to the Lady Cougars 3-1 despite a late rally by the orange and white.


Munford’s first goal came in the third minute but Dyer County goalkeeper Mallory Warren kept the game at a goal difference after a save on a Lady Cougar penalty kick moments later.

The visitors were able to add to their lead late in the first half on a second goal via a rebound of the initial shot to take a 2-0 lead into the half.

The Lady Cougars tacked on another goal in the 32nd minute to extend their lead to three goals.


Dyer County was able to rally late with multiple chances, including a goal from Addisyn Trout in the 49th minute to cut the Munford lead to two.

That was as close as the Lady Choctaws were able to get as Munford escaped with the win.

Dyer County returns to action on Thursday when the Lady Choctaws travel to Trenton at 6 p.m.

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...
