Coaches at the Class 1A level often find themselves recruiting athletes in their own school's hallways because they want to get the best athletes on the floor. Beckville girls' basketball coach Britney Redfearn did that a year ago and found some great role players.

Redfearn was also pleased this summer when some of her players took the initiative to participate in a 'playday' at Gary's Bobcat Gymnasium, taking on Overton as well as the Lady Bobcats.

TYLER, TX - Beckville first-year quarterback Jaylon Allison used a pair of strong second-half performances in pool play and some impressive statistics Saturday afternoon to lead the Bearcats into the championship round of the Tyler Junior College State Qualifying 7-on-7 Tournament at Lindsey Park.

Allison completed over 65 percent of his passes on the day and led BHS to a 1-2 mark in Pool 'A' play, which was good enough to put the Bearcats in the title round.

ELYSIAN FIELDS, Tx - While members of the Beckville Bearcats' football team get to know each other and sharpen their offensive and defense passing skills, new head coach Eric Robinson is utilizing the summer's 7-on-7 program to observe his new team, to learn its strengths and examine the weaknesses.

The 'Cats are participating in the Elysian Fields League on each Thursday in June, joining the Yellowjackets, New Diana, Shelbyville and Waskom, with games beginning at 6 p.m. each week.

Carthage High School has announced that it will be hosting a pair of annual football camps. There will be a quarterbacks' camp coming the next two weeks and a camp for players of all positions in early August.
