Overbeck powers Rebs to sweep
Ole Miss fans are used to reading in newspapers about an Overbeck hitting home runs, but on Wednesday, it was different Overbeck that will be stealing the headlines.
Cali Overbeck, younger sister of former Ole Miss baseball slugger Cody, helped lead the Ole Miss softball team to a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday at the Ole Miss Softball Complex, defeating Alcorn State 9-0 and 9-1 in two run-ruled games. (April 1, 2010, Page 6)
Dorsey has impressed early in UM spring drills
Only four days into spring drills and junior college transfer Wayne Dorsey is already turning heads, and it’s not just because he’s 6-foot-8, 255-pounds — although that helps.
The junior defensive end from Gulf Coast Community College has been a standout on the practice field and is already playing with the first team. (April 1, 2010, Page 7)

Those who have been clamoring for David Goforth to get a stab at starting for the No. 11 Ole Miss Rebels baseball team are about to get their wish.

Rebels strap on pads for Day 3
For the first time this spring the Ole Miss football Rebels strapped on their pads on Monday for Day 3 of practice.

Gator Chomped: Sunday woes continue for Rebels
And the streak continues. In short, Sundays have been unkind to the Ole Miss Rebels baseball squad. For the fourth Sunday in a row, the No. 17 Rebels have been unable to not only piece together timely hits but also find pitching that gives them a chance to take the game.
One game after the Rebels’ offense exploded for 15 runs, the No. 8 Gators returned the favor, routing the Rebels 13-1 to avoid a sweep at Oxford-University Stadium. (March 29, 2010, Page 1B)
White taking ownership of offense
There’s a reason one particular quote from the most recent “30 for 30″ documentary by ESPN stood out to Mississippi sophomore guard Terrico White.
Toward the end of the “Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks” documentary, Miller says, “All the great players have always played great in this building. Anytime I played in the (Madison Square) Garden, something special was going to happen.”
White heard that, and something clicked. (more…) (March 29, 2010)
