HSFT Stop #2: Vardaman
SUMMARY: Vardaman High School fell to Biggersville in last year’s 1A north half championship, marking their first loss and ending a 12-senior season. Head coach Brennan Pugh views it as a learning experience, hoping younger players emulate the dedication of the departing seniors. Senior quarterback Brady White, who missed most of last season due to a broken collarbone, is back and expected to be a key player. Defensive strengths lie in the senior linebackers and defensive backs. Despite changes, the team remains optimistic, aiming for a strong season starting August 30 against Nanih Waiya, inspired by last year’s successes.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Milton is expected to become a hurricane on Sunday and potentially reach Category 3 strength by midweek, with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. Currently located 845 miles from Tampa, it could weaken to a Category 2 before making landfall. The National Hurricane Center warns of increasing life-threatening impacts along Florida’s Gulf Coast, with storm-force winds extending 35 miles from its center. Heavy rain may cause flooding, especially given the saturated ground. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reiterated the need for preparedness, declaring a state of emergency in 35 counties, while FEMA coordinates resources.

SUMMARY: Daylight saving time (DST) ends on November 3, with many hoping it could be the last clock change. Despite numerous state and federal efforts to eliminate the biannual shift, progress has stalled. Many states seek to adopt permanent DST and have passed various resolutions, although they require congressional approval. States such as Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are among those pushing for year-round DST, while others like Idaho propose permanent standard time contingent on neighboring states’ actions. Recent legislative attempts have largely failed, with most states still set to adjust their clocks unless Congress intervenes.

SUMMARY: On October 5, a two-vehicle crash in Jones County, Mississippi, resulted in three injuries. The accident occurred around 5:15 p.m. near the 3700 block of Sharon Road, involving a Chevrolet sedan and a Toyota sedan. Firefighters found the Chevy blocking the road and had to use hydraulic equipment to free its driver, who sustained serious injuries; two others had minor to moderate injuries. Witnesses reported that one vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic, leading to an offset head-on collision. Authorities from the Jones County sheriff’s office and Mississippi Highway Patrol also responded to the scene.
