1A-4A wraps up regular season on Thursday
SUMMARY: This week, the 1A through 4A classifications in Mississippi high school football will wrap up their regular season on Thursday instead of Friday. This is to give the Mississippi High School Activities Association an extra day to create brackets for the playoffs, which will begin next week. However, there has been a shortage of referees this year, making it difficult to officiate all the games. One local referee cited a lack of monetary compensation as a reason for the shortage. Some referees also officiate junior college games, further reducing availability. The assigning secretary for District 1, Larry Riley, mentioned that they are always recruiting new officials for the future. The 5A through 7A classifications will finish their regular season next Thursday.

Jackson Democratic mayoral primary heads to runoff
SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
