SUMMARY:

Entergy Mississippi has committed $425,654 to aid older adults and customers with disabilities through bill assistance and income-based programs. The announcement was made during a Mississippi Braves game, with contributions from employees, customers, and shareholders supporting The Power to Care program alongside the Salvation Army. Extreme heat raises electricity usage, increasing bills and straining budgets. Entergy encourages customers to donate via entergy.com/care. Additionally, customers struggling to pay bills may qualify for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Energy-saving tips include changing air filters, using programmable thermostats, and sealing leaks.

SUMMARY: West Lowndes made it to the quarterfinals despite winning only one district game last year, thanks to their challenging 1A region 4 schedule. Head coach Anthony King noted that although they lost to the state champs Biggersville in the last three years, it helped prepare them for the playoffs. This year, the focus is on becoming state championship contenders, leveraging young talent and strong summer workouts. Senior Kam Evans leads by example, while junior Eli Sanders emphasizes the importance of enduring heat during summer practices.
