The Shelby County Bass Anglers wrapped up a busy month of August down at Holly Park Marina on Toledo Bend. Due to high water temps and excessive heat, the club voted to conduct an early weigh in at 2pm to preserve the health of the bass for a quick release after weigh in. 33 teams of anglers showed up to brave the heat, and storms that blew across the lake on Saturday afternoon.

Huxley Bay Marina on Toledo Bend lake was the sight of last weekend's Battle of the Border presented by Wings and Whitetails of Carthage. Panola County anglers challenged the Shelby County anglers to the 1st annual fishing tournament with 100% paybacks of entry fees and prizes donated by Wings and Whitetails. Top ten teams from each county's weights were calculated to determine the winning overall county in the competition. Individual team prizes were also awarded. 

Last Friday the Timpson Bears varsity football team struggled during their scrimmage with the visiting Groveton Indians.

The Bears first possession, during controlled scrimmage play, saw them move the ball at times but they never got enough momentum to make a serious scoring threat.
