Bulldogs

The Holmes Community College Bulldogs will face their stiffest test of the season tonight when the team travels to Senatobia to take on top ranked Northwest Mississippi Community College.

Not only are the Rangers number one in the most recent JCGridiron Poll, they are also the defending NJCAA national champions.

The Bulldogs, ranked 11 in this week’s poll, boast a 4-0 record and the number one rushing offense in the country.

In 2015, the Bulldogs came within one minute of defeating the Rangers.

Holmes took a one point lead with under a minute to play, but Northwest used a combination of timeouts and a couple of big passes to move down the field and kick a game winning field goal as time expired.

Tonight’s game can be heard on Breezy 101, Breezynews.com, and the Breezy 101 mobile app. Pregame begins 6:00 pm. Kickoff is set for 6:30 pm.

Entergy employees welcomed the opportunity to meet and thank the area’s first responders, including  Kosciusko Fire Department, Kosciusko Police Department, Attala Sherriff’s Department, Attala Fire and Rescue, Med Stat EMS Ambulance Service and various City and County employees.

“This is a terrific way to show these people our appreciation and this even was a great success,” said Lauren Moore, Entergy Mississippi, Inc., Customer Service Representative. “These First Responders are part of our community and we want to show them that they are appreciated for the work that they do on our behalf.”

Danny Townsend, Emergency Management Coordinator for Attala County, spoke to members of the Attala County Library’s Teen Council  on Wednesday as part of Disaster Preparedness month in September .

Townsend told teens that our county has approximately 150 active emergency first responders. He stressed the importance of individuals being prepared for the first 72 hours of a disaster including having a gallon of water per day for each person in the household, knowledge of basic first aid, cash money, and preparation for warmth in the winter in case of power outages.

Townsend stated persons should always assume that downed power lines are “live” even if they don’t appear to be.

More information is available on disaster preparedness at www.fema.gov or www.redcross.org.

The Teen Library Council concluded its meeting by playing “Bingo for Books.”

The Kosciusko-Attala Partnership presented the second “A Step Back in Time” event Thursday night on the square in downtown Kosciusko.

Eight local actresses portrayed notable women from the history of Kosciusko and Attala County.

The walking tour began in front of Kosy Pocket Park and made its way around the square where each lady gave a brief history of her time and accomplishments for the city and county.

The tour concluded with a reception at Attala County Courthouse.

“A Step Back in Time” complete list of cast and characters:

  • Mrs. Rutherford (Judi Bell) – After the death of her husband, Mrs. Rutherford had two choices, remarry or fend for herself.
  • Mrs. E. C. Coleman (Sue Dorrill) – It is said no man is an island and no man stands alone; Mrs. Coleman used that motto.
  • Alta Burchfield (JJ Warrington) – Miss Burchfield was the first woman pharmacist in Kosciusko. 
  • Mrs. W.C. Thompson (Annie Lou Irish) – Challenges of the first demonstration agent were daunting.

  • Miss Eva Webb (Hollee Casey) – Attending college was a rare thing in the 1800’s and especially when bad weather didn’t allow travel during the holidays. It was then that Miss Webb and two of her friends formed the Delta Gamma Sorority and the rest is history.
  • Edith Beckham (Kay Dawson) – Miss Edith was a seamstress with extreme talent and the lack of the ability to tell someone “no” oftentimes finding her sewing up until the last minute.
  • Mrs. W. H. Turner (Ann Windham) – Mrs. Lessie was worldly before women were to be worldly-traveling to St. Louis to purchase new merchandise.
