SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Department of Health has confirmed the first West Nile virus (WNV) case of 2024 in Rankin County. WNV, primarily spread by mosquito bites, often shows no symptoms in most infected people. However, about 20% may experience symptoms like headaches, body aches, and rashes. In 2023, there were 37 cases across 14 counties. MSDH advises precautions such as staying indoors at night, using DEET insect repellent, and wearing long sleeves. Additionally, removing standing water can help prevent mosquito breeding. The first case of 2023 was found in August, suggesting a potentially busier season this year.

SUMMARY: In a pivotal matchup, South Alabama defeated Southern Miss 35-14, marking the Golden Eagles’ ninth consecutive loss. While Southern Miss started strong, scoring first with a touchdown pass, South Alabama quickly took control with two touchdown passes from freshman quarterback Gio Lopez. Southern Miss managed only three points in the second half, unable to capitalize on early opportunities, and suffered from multiple turnovers and sacks. This game was significant for the Golden Eagles as they honored 25 players on senior day and remembered late teammate MJ Daniels. The final game for Southern Miss is against Troy on November 30.

SUMMARY: No. 9 Ole Miss’s national championship hopes were dashed after a 24-17 loss to Florida, a must-win game for the Rebels. Despite outgaining the Gators, Ole Miss failed to score in the red zone, resulting in two turnovers on downs and a missed field goal. Jaxson Dart had a strong start with two touchdown passes but threw two late interceptions. Ole Miss struggled on the ground without its leading rusher, while Florida capitalized with a balanced attack. The Rebels, now 8-3, must regroup for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State. This loss likely drops them from playoff contention.
