WATER VALLEY – The introductions were easy for newly hired Blue Devils girls basketball coach Bernadette Sayles last Thursday when she met with her team for the first time.  Many of the girls already knew her from coaching at Coffeeville or from the community and she had even shared time on the court with some of their parents during her high school years at Water Valley, where she played in junior high and high school before graduating in 2000.

WATER VALLEY – More than a dozen firefighters from multiple departments in the county battled a large fire for several hours last Thursday afternoon on Hwy. 315, just east of Water Valley.
