SUMMARY: The Shuckers’ Junior Broadcaster Program offers a unique chance for young aspiring broadcasters to step into the press box and find their voice. Led by Javic Blake, the Shuckers’ main announcer who began his own career in minor league baseball, the program inspires kids like Tanner Mikl to pursue broadcasting. Blake, driven by his early experiences with the Paul Tucket Red Sox, teamed up with general manager Hunter Reed to bring this opportunity to Kesler Federal Park. Now in its second year, the program continues to nurture the next generation of sports broadcasters on the coast.

SUMMARY: Legacy Park in Jackson County is moving forward with its original design plans after Hyde’s Chancery Court upheld approval for a medical and retail center. The court confirmed the need for more medical services, addressing a shortage of primary care in Gocha. The project faced opposition from Singing River Health System and Jackson County Board of Supervisors but gained support from locals, including Gocha Mayor Casey Vaughn, who called it a “game changer.” Developer Dr. Saudi Lisa and partners are now fully committed to building the medical center, retail stores, condos, and a boulevard, with construction expected to start in 3-4 months.

Original Legacy Park design plans start construction this summer
