SUMMARY: The Jackson Academy Raiders secured the MA Overall Title in March for the first time since 2006, led by brothers Mike and Mason Williams. Mike led the team with 18 points per game, also topping rebounds and steals, while Mason was second in scoring and rebounding. Both are transferring to Germantown High School, where they'll join top national player Sam Funches and Mikey Johnson, son of JSU Assistant Coach Trey Johnson, who transferred from Vicksburg. These additions position the Germantown Mavericks as strong contenders in the 7A division this upcoming season.

Mike and Mason Williams, who starred at Jackson Academy, are now transferring to Germantown High School. The two brothers and sons of JSU head basketball coach and NBA Champion Mo Williams led JA to a 36-1 record and their first overall MAIS title since 2006 this past season. Now they will join one of the top players in the country in the 2026 class in Sam Funchess at Germantown. Robert Wilson of Mississippi Scoreboard is also reporting that the son of JSU assistant coach Trey Johnson, Mikey, is also at Germantown after transferring from Vicksburg. With these additions Germantown becomes a legit contender for the 7A crown this upcoming season.

SUMMARY: Water operators in the Pine Belt are cautioning residents about washing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down drains, which is a leading cause of sewer issues. Wastewater Digest identifies items like butter and salad dressing as culprits. Delaney Dukes from WDS followed Glendale Utility District's James Pierce to inspect lift stations clogged with hardened FOG, which block sewer lines and create maintenance problems. This hardened grease can also clog home pipes, leading to costly plumbing repairs. Pierce urges the community to dispose of FOG in trash containers instead of drains to prevent such issues statewide.
