SUMMARY: Charles Herrington has been with Salvation Army for at least the last five years and hopes to continue. The organization recently hosted an early holiday celebration at Hattiesburg, serving an annual community Christmas dinner to about two thousand people. The event celebrated its 37th year and brought local residents and volunteers together to celebrate the holiday season. Herrington, along with about 75 volunteers, helped prepare and serve holiday meals as part of the event. Christian Services, where Herrington volunteers, also provides food boxes to families in need. They serve lunch in their dining hall and deliver food daily through their “Meals on Wheels” program.

SUMMARY: The Golden Eagles entered the day with a 5-5 record and hoped for a home win on Senior Day, honoring fallen teammate MJ Daniels. In a strong start, quarterback Dr. Clark led the team with 115 rushing yards, and Tate Raker threw a long-awaited passing touchdown. However, South Alabama surged ahead, ultimately winning 35-14, capitalizing on turnovers. Interim coach Reed Stringer expressed his desire to instill hope and unity in the team despite their struggles, as Southern Miss now faces a challenging season with a 1-10 record, marking their third double-digit loss season in the last 12 years.
