Thursday, October 17, 2002

After being on the road for the last couple of weeks, the Marked Tree Sr. Indians return home this week to face the Walnut Ridge Bobcats, in a key home game. Marked Tree Head Coach Tim Branum told Delta Life that while he has seen Walnut Ridge on film, he knows them by reputation. Branum said, "Palestine-Wheatley and Earle gave them trouble this year.
