The first of two showdowns between the two middle schools in the Dyer County School System resulted in a pair of wins by hosting Three Oaks on Thursday night.


The Choctaws from Upper Finley Road dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring Northview 15-3 over the final six minutes of action to take a 43-31 win in the second game of the night.

The game was tied at 28-28 to end the third quarter before Three Oaks went on its run. Five points from Cullen Granno and four each by Seth Morris and Grady Patterson led the way for the Choctaws from Upper Finley Road. Three Oaks’ defense limited the Choctaws from Newbern to just a bucket from Knox Smith to go along with a free throw as TOMS took the 21-point win.

Morris paced Three Oaks with 19 while Granno added nine. Robinson led Northview with 17 points in the loss.

A ten-point fourth quarter proved to be the difference as Three Oaks defended its home court for the win.

Three Oaks was able to turn its four-point third-quarter lead into a bigger one by the final buzzer as six points from Maddie Campbell and four by Sha’Mya Crittendon provided the offensive attack by the Lady Choctaws from Upper Finley Road en route to the win.

Crittendon led the way with 17 points while Campbell added 10 in the win for Three Oaks. Northview was paced by Landri Stewart and Jaliyah Watson, each scoring 11 in the loss.

Three Oaks returns to the court on Tuesday, November 18 when the Choctaws and Lady Choctaws travel to Covington at 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Northview will be back in action on Monday when the Choctaws and Lady Choctaws host Ripley at 6 p.m.

  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.

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...
