A look back at Tomekia Reed era at JSU
SUMMARY: Tamika Reed, the successful women’s basketball coach at Jackson State University, is leaving to take over the Charlotte 49ers program. Reed, who never had a losing season in six years at JSU, led the team to eight SWAC championships and coached two WNBA draft picks. In her final year, JSU won a record 26 games. Reed reflected on her time at JSU, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to turn the program around. She leaves behind a legacy of success, including multiple SWAC titles and NCAA tournament appearances. Reed inherits a Charlotte program that has a history of winning, setting high expectations for her future there.
Jackson native and JSU women’s basketball head coach Tomekia Reed will go down as one of the greatest coaches in program history. From the SWAC Championships, NCAA Tournaments and WNBA Draft picks she left her mark not only at Jackson State but in the SWAC and the HBCU women’s basketball landscape. Now she takes her talents to Charlotte to lead the 49ers program but she had legendary run at Thee I Love. Reed finishes with a 125-54 overall record and 95-10 mark in the SWAC. She led the Tigers to 5 straight SWAC regular season titles, three conference tournament championships and three NCAA tournament appearances. She is also a four-time SWAC Coach of the Year and three time HBCU National Coach of the Year.

The War Memorial Building in Jackson
SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
