Gray, Griffin play dual-threat roles for Patriots

If Dontae Gray isn't careful, he is going to come up with a new statistic to chart on Friday nights.

Heritage Academy will play host to Starkville Academy for district title

This one has been circled on the calendar since February. The Starkville Academy and Heritage Academy football teams have recognized the importance of Friday, Oct. 13, for a long time.

Park Place Christian Academy beats Starkville Academy for Division III title

STARKVILLE -- Sybil Roberson is used to attracting attention.

Starkville Academy has sights set on Canton

STARKVILLE -- Chase Nicholson senses something is hanging over the Starkville Academy football team. As much as he tries to ignore it, Nicholson admits it is too big to dismiss.

Easy wins won't alter West Point's focus

Discipline will be focus for Noxubee County

Rogers' four interceptions fuel Heritage Academy victory

The conversation -- if you want to call it that -- didn't last long. Heritage Academy football coach Sean Harrison remembers his "talk" with his junior going something like this: "Lex, I need you to do more to help the team this season." Harrison's recalls Rogers saying "yes sir" and not quibbling about where he was going to play, how many minutes he was going to get, or if the new work would take away from his duties as the team's kicker and punter.

Holmes looks comfortable in MSU's first practice

STARKVILLE -- Jazzmun Holmes didn't intend to make a statement Sunday afternoon. Surrounded by a sea of maroon, white, and black sneakers, the Mississippi State junior stood out in her pair of pink kicks.
