SUMMARY: Parish Alford, a longtime sports writer for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, has published a new book that serves as a perfect gift for sports enthusiasts. With nearly three decades of experience, Alford shares personal stories from his extensive career covering college football, primarily focusing on Mississippi State and Ole Miss, alongside some high school anecdotes. His book emphasizes the people and relationships in sports rather than just the teams and players. Available in local bookstores, including Reeds and Square Books, as well as on Amazon, it offers a nostalgic look at the sports landscape in Northeast Mississippi.

SUMMARY: This Thursday morning brings cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, with current readings in the upper 40s in Meridian, lower 40s in Philadelphia, and a “feels-like” temperature that dips into the 30s. A significant 24-hour temperature drop, especially notable in DeKalb and Philadelphia, indicates a chillier start. Despite a sunny afternoon with temps reaching the lower 60s, expect overnight lows to fall into the mid-30s, with potential frost, while Saturday and Sunday night may see temperatures drop into the upper 20s. Wind gusts will also pick up over the weekend, but sunshine is likely and temperatures should rise next week.
