Since I last updated you all, some good things have continued to happen in the Athletic Department. In basketball, our boys and girls have secured the #1 seeds in the Division 1-4A tournament that starts next Tuesday at ICC. Congratulations to the coaching staff and their players! The girls' team has climbed the "RANKINGS" ladder and claimed the #1 spot in the state! On Tuesday, they will wrap up division play and will also honor our seniors at 5:45 before the girls' contest. On Thursday we will travel to Tupelo for our last regular season game. Tip-off is at 6, and I'm sure they would appreciate your support.

In soccer, our girls' season came to an end as they traveled all the way down to Newton County in the first round playoff matchup. The girls were simply outmatched against a very seasoned team from Newton County. We are still very proud of our girls! We will miss our seniors deeply. I know we will see them again for years to come as bulldog supporters. The boys' soccer team picked up the first playoff win in soccer history at New Albany as they beat Newton County, but their season, too, is over after a loss Monday. Every other spring sport is working hard and anxious to get started with regular practice. On February 8, all spring sports will be allowed to practice after school. We look forward to Tennis, Golf, Fast-Pitch Softball, and Baseball. It's almost here!

Tarver Reeder attended the Delta State University Honor Band on January 21-23 and the Mississippi State University Honor Band on January 28-30. Four students have been selected to attend the Mid-South Honor Band at Ole Miss on February 19-20: Jamie Benefield, Kayla Condon, Dylan Van Zile, and Bronson Lang. Our percussion captains, Donte Ferrell and Tyler Thomas, are representing New Albany in a regional indoor drumline called "Deja Vu", which will be competing at the Indoor Drumline and Colorguard Show on Saturday, February 6th. Congratulations to all of you! The high school Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band are currently preparing for the State Band Festival, which will take place during the 2nd week of March at Pearl High School.

Thank you for your time, and I hope everyone has a safe week!
