SUMMARY: The Jackson Academy Raiders secured the MA Overall Title in March for the first time since 2006, led by brothers Mike and Mason Williams. Mike led the team with 18 points per game, also topping rebounds and steals, while Mason was second in scoring and rebounding. Both are transferring to Germantown High School, where they'll join top national player Sam Funches and Mikey Johnson, son of JSU Assistant Coach Trey Johnson, who transferred from Vicksburg. These additions position the Germantown Mavericks as strong contenders in the 7A division this upcoming season.

SUMMARY: A storm with maximum winds of 70 mph is approaching the coast, just shy of hurricane strength. Moving north-northwest at 10 mph, the storm is expected to affect Houston, possibly as a Category 1 hurricane with winds up to 75 mph by early morning. It will make landfall between midnight and 4 a.m. near Bay City, west of Galveston, then move north and northeast, losing its tropical characteristics by Tuesday. Expect gusty winds (25-30 mph) and rain chances, particularly on Tuesday. Monday will be hot with mid-90s temperatures and heat indices of 105-110. Rain chances persist through the week.
