Memphis Elite- Wade's Erica Sisk helps team to State track title

Lady Chargers win 5A track title

PEARL — Oxford coach Jamie Perkins is getting used to being on top in the world of girls track. Led by another all-around outstanding performance from a bevy of girls, the Oxford High girls track team won a second MHSAA Class 5A state track title on Friday evening
Oxford led Pearl by seven points (89-82) heading into the final race of the meet, the 4×400 meter relay. The Lady Chargers took first in the event by finishing with a season-high time of 4 minutes, 04.92 seconds to leave no doubt about the final point differential over their biggest competitors.
Junior Erika Sisk started the race that was ended by Mary Helen Rychlak and included senior Ann Crabtree and first-time runner, Ann Houston.  Sisk, who ran with both of her legs heavily taped after suffering pulled quadriceps in the North Half meet, started the race by running the first 400 in 57.5 seconds.
“We knew it was going to come down the 4×400 in order to win. Coach said ‘Erika, we need you. You ran a 1:01 (in the 400) crippled, so you can do it.’  When he said that I just got focused  and I ran the best time I ever ran in my life,” Sisk said.  ”I wasn’t thinking about the injuries, I was just doing it for the team. I’m competitive and I love to run. I did what I had to do for my team and for me.” (May 13, 2011)

Elite-Wade's Erica Sisk doing her Thang!

Sisk’s all-around game keys OHS success

A team-first approach to winning basketball games turned out to be very successful for the Oxford Lady Chargers and junior point guard Erika Sisk this season. Not only did OHS win 24 games and advance to the Class 5A North Half tournament under coach Shayne Linzy in his second season, the 5-foot-4 Sisk was able to show her all-around skills better than she has before.
Sisk not only set up her teammates during games, but she was a driving force behind the Lady Chargers’ offense. She led the area with averaging 22.0 points per game and then added to that outstanding scoring ledger by dishing out 4.8 assists and grabbing 3.9 rebounds per game.
On defense, where Sisk has been known to shine as a freshman and sophomore, her speed and athleticism also allowed her to lead the team with 4.9 steals per game.
It was Sisk’s all-around effort that allowed her to win this year’s EAGLE Player of the Year honor and Oxford’s first in two seasons. Joining Sisk on this year’s team is teammate Kristen Dickerson, Lafayette’s Shaquilla Isom and Nikki McChristian and Water Valley’s Ashley Phillips. Honorable mentions went to Lafayette’s Mykira Buford and Water Valley’s C.C. Phillips.
Sisk, Isom, Phillips and McChristian are repeat members of the team, while Buford was a first-team member last year. Sisk, Phillips and McChristian are three-year members of the team dating back to the 2008-09 season. (April 19, 2011, Page 1B)

Elite- Holmes Wildcat Memorial Showdown Update

Pool Game #2  Recap
Elite- Holmes- 62   Kentucky Blast- 57
This game put to heavyweights against each other, which gave everyone headaches.
Elite- Holmes first half was not the desirable first half they wanted and they trailed 24-22 at halftime.
It was a hotly contested 14 minutes time frame during the second half. And then the last 4 minutes Elite- Holmes found their groove, surged ahead and pulled out the victory. The victory puts them in control of the pool, standing at 2-0 with only 1 pool game left. They should receive the #1 seed from the pool heading into bracket play later tonight.

MeMe- 13 pts (she had a great game last year on that same court); Amber- 8pts; Taylor- 11pts; Shay- 3pts
