Yazoo City hit the road last week in their final game before the Christmas Holidays against the Cleveland Central Wildcats.
The Indians coasted to a 68-49 victory while the Lady Indians dropped a close one, 39-30.
The Indians took control of the game early and never trailed after jumping out to a 24-6 first quarter margin. It was smooth sailing from that point as the Indians dominated on both ends of the floor.

Lawmakers in Mississippi are not the only ones considering ways to expand education freedom and provide more parental flexibility. There is a growing national trend away from the traditional zip-code based school model.
