SUMMARY: The M-A-I-S season kicks off tomorrow night, with all teams in 6-A aiming to take down the reigning champions, Jackson Prep. Jackson Prep won the state championship last year and is entering this season with a better understanding of their coach’s system. The team has made changes to their offense, while their defense remains strong with several key players returning. Although they are now the team to beat, Jackson Prep is embracing the challenge and is focused on repeating their championship success. They will start their 2023 campaign at home this Friday night.

The full MAIS football slate kicks off on Friday night and one team everyone is gunning for 6A will be the Jackson Prep Patriots. They are coming off a state championship and they did that with first year head coach Doug Goodwin. Now the Patriots hope to run it back. With a stout defense and a reworked offense they hope to stay on top of the competition in 6A.

SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
