It’s been a pretty good week for DeSoto County and North Mississippi athletes competing in All-Star competitions.
The Mississippi Association of Coaches this week hosted another in its series of All-Star events for different sports contested in state high schools.
This week, the All-Star Games for soccer and volleyball were played. In each event, DeSoto County impacted the final result for the North.
In volleyball on Wednesday, July 10, the North took away a 3-0 sweep of the South (25-22, 26-24, 25-22). A good representation of the roster came from DeSoto County schools, and Lewisburg coach Amy Hendrichovsky joined Lafayette (Oxford) coach Taylor Elliott as coaches.
