TWENTY YEARS AGO — After spending two months away from golf, Jason Rooks returns and has rounds of 74 and 77 to win his second straight Belwood Country Club Junior Championship when Chandler Russ misses a 25-foot putt that would have forced a playoff.

TEN YEARS AGO — Chris Rasco has two hits, including a two-run home run, and winning pitcher Dustin Case hits a double as the Natchez Rebel League 9- and 10-year-old All-Stars hold on for a 7-5 win over Columbus to advance to the finals of the state tournament.

FIVE YEARS AGO — Tyler Kitrell holds the Natchez Wallace League All-Stars to just three hits as the Hattiesburg All-Stars take a 2-1 win despite a 14-strikeout performance from losing pitcher Dustin Carroll at the Dixie Youth Minor League State Tournament.
