Union and Tippah: New Albany beats Ripley
New Albany defeated rival Ripley in Friday night's football game, WTVA reported in its Saturday morning Friday Night Fever coverage. WTVA's accessible report did not give a final score, so this roundup does not attach one.
Prentiss and Alcorn: Friday football finals
Booneville beat Belmont 41-6 at home Friday, and Alcorn Central beat Mantachie 39-14 in Glen, according to Alcorn County News's Saturday score report. The report lists Booneville at 6-0 after the win. Corinth's 52-7 result over North Pontotoc was a Thursday game, not a Friday final.
Alcorn: Corinth 5K switches to a virtual race
The Cat Reman Challenge 5K scheduled for Saturday morning in Corinth will not take place in person because of the weather forecast, Alcorn County News reported after Caterpillar's announcement. The organizer says participants can complete the virtual 5K by Oct. 24; registered runners will receive instructions about times, shirts and medals by email. The event benefits United Way of Corinth and Alcorn County.
Benton: Ashland's Friday result
Ashland lost 54-0 at Coffeeville on Friday, according to MaxPreps's posted final. We found no other meaningful, newly verified Benton County development beyond the countywide weather advisories.
Tippah: Walnut shows recreation work in progress
