Legendary JSU coach is looking for a new deal
SUMMARY: Tamika Reed’s contract as head coach of the Jackson State women’s basketball team has expired, making her a free agent. It is uncertain whether she will return next season, as she has been pursued by other programs such as Tulane, Miami, Virginia Tech, and Tennessee. Reed has received praise from basketball legends such as Kim Mulkey, Dawn Staley, and Geno Auriemma for her work at Jackson State. While Ashley Robinson and Reed may be negotiating a new deal, her future with the team remains uncertain. Fans will have to wait and see if the Hall of Fame caliber coach will return to JSU.
Multiple SWAC Champion and Coach of the Year Tomekia Reed is no longer under contract at JSU. That doesn’t rule out a return to Jackson State but she can explore other options. Rod Walker of Nola.com reported that Tulane has interviewed her for their opening. There are other openings in women’s basketball including Miami, Tennesse and Virginia Tech among others. We’ll see if the legendary head coach returns to JSU or if another school gives her an offer she can’t refuse.

Political analyst breaks down the big races on the Mississippi ballot
SUMMARY: Dr. Ray Michael from Jackson State University discussed the Mississippi Supreme Court race, focusing on the two leading candidates: incumbent Jim Kitchens and challenger Jenifer Branning. Branning, endorsed by the state Republican Party, has received significant financial support from insurance and banking industries, likely due to past tort reform impacts in Mississippi. Despite judges being nonpartisan, Branning’s campaign has emphasized her identity as a “constitutional conservative,” reflecting a shift in political advertising in the state. This approach aims to clarify her judicial philosophy without directly addressing policy issues, aligning with conservative judicial figures like Justice Scalia.
Dr. Ray Mikell, with Jackson State University, tells us what races we should be watching.
