SUMMARY: A local chapter of the United Way is hosting a fundraising competition between Oxford and Lafayette high schools. The schools are competing to see who can raise the most money for the United Way, with the winner receiving bragging rights and a trophy. The funds raised will go towards supporting local programs for children, such as tutoring, LeapFrog, and the boys and girls club. Donations can be made through various methods, including text messaging. Although the football game will determine a winner on the field, both schools will benefit from the money raised.

SUMMARY: The Bobcats have advanced to the state championship, which was their goal, thanks to a tough schedule that prepared them well. They've defeated five of the six teams on their schedule that reached their own state championships. In the 4A final, they'll face Ripley, a team new to the Big Dance in decades. Bobcats coach, Sumrall, believes their experience gives them an edge to win a second title in three years. The team is built on a high standard of success with a deep lineup that poses a threat every pitch. Three area teams will compete for titles this week, starting with West Marion on Tuesday.
