Blitz 16 Preview: Hartfield Academy
SUMMARY: In the upcoming 2023 season, the Hartfield Academy Hawks will be one of three teams in the area to kick off in Week Zero of the M-A-I-S schedule. However, the offseason has been controversial for Hartfield, as they are currently appealing a decision from the M-A-I-S Affairs Committee that banned them from the postseason, suspended two assistant coaches, and imposed a fine, due to an illegal recruiting complaint by Madison Saint Joes. Despite the controversy, Hartfield Academy has a talented football team, winning at least 8 games since 2019 and nearly defeating eventual state champion Jackson Prep.
The Hawks of Hartfield Academy will be taking off a bit early this season. They are a part of week zero of the MAIS football season. Hartfield Academy is shaking off some off-field controversy in order to avenge a tough loss in the state semifinals. Despite the early start the Hawks feel ready to go.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
