Last Saturday night was a night for basketball in McNairy County with two incredible basketball games played between two heated rivals, Adamsville High School and McNairy Central High School. MCHS came out on top in both contests with the girls winning 39-31 and the boys pulling out a thrilling 53-49 victory.

Last Saturday, the Adamsville Lady Cardinal bowling team was defeated by Collierville High School at Sub-State held in Memphis.

“Congratulations go to the AHS Girls Bowling Team for progressing to Sub-State play against Collierville in Memphis,” said head coach Ron Christopher. “It was a very good game and as their coach I was proud of each and everyone for how they represented our school and the bowling program.”

The McNairy County Sheriff’s Department recovered four guns from a previous robbery. 

The three shotguns and one rifle were found in 2 ponds in the Mt. Vinson community, according to Investigator Robert Hitchborn.
