Effort to bring soccer to Mississippi stalls
SUMMARY: The Hank Aaron Sports Academy has paused plans to introduce a professional soccer team to Mississippi in 2025 due to ongoing legal conflicts regarding the state takeover of Smith-Wills Stadium. Despite efforts since 2019 to partner with the National Independent Soccer Association, further delays have emerged as improvements to the stadium are needed. CEO Tim Bennett emphasized the initiative’s potential benefits for local youth and expressed disappointment over the setback, having invested significantly into the project without requesting funds from the city or state. The National Independent Soccer Association remains hopeful for future collaboration.

SUMMARY: Maddie Anderson, former Mississippi State goalkeeper, recently signed with Racing Louisville FC, marking the realization of her lifelong dream. Over five seasons at MSU, Anderson earned numerous accolades and helped lead her team to an SEC Championship. She was drafted as a trialist, a stressful process that required proving herself without knowing her future. Anderson, who set several Bulldog records, credits her improvement to her coach, Cat Stratton, and her Christian faith. Now a rookie, she is focused on learning from her more experienced teammates, Katie Lond and Jordan Bloomer, while remaining motivated by her faith.

SUMMARY: Mississippi has made significant strides in addressing the opioid crisis, with opioid deaths declining for two consecutive years. The state’s efforts include stricter prescribing regulations and enhanced access to treatment for opioid use disorder. The opioid epidemic worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, with isolation and limited treatment access exacerbating the issue. The introduction of fentanyl further complicated the crisis, leading to many deaths from counterfeit pills. Mississippi has focused on education and distributing Narcan kits to reverse overdoses. The Department of Health also provides free treatment options through its program for those without insurance or local providers.
