HSFT Stop #54: New Hope
SUMMARY: The Trojans football team in Columbus, Mississippi had 35 seniors in 2022, but this year they only have six. Despite the young roster, head coach Seth Stillman is optimistic about the team’s potential. The young players have stepped up and are ready to play important roles. The team is focused on building chemistry and improving their skills. The defense looks promising, and there is a quarterback competition between Matthew Benge and Juice Tate. Stillman wants his players to believe in their potential and knows they can be as successful as any program in the state. The Trojans’ season begins next Friday.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University recently celebrated the completion of a $2.5 million renovation of the Joe Frank Sanderson Center, enhancing its fitness facilities. The upgrades include modern fitness equipment, an open-concept space replacing former racquetball courts, an interactive climbing wall, and improved flooring. The renovated center now boasts approximately 19,000 to 20,000 square feet of fitness space, nearly doubling the original area. In 2022, students approved a fee increase to fund these enhancements, which aim to provide more opportunities for health and fitness within the student community. This is the first significant renovation since the center opened in 1998.
