SUMMARY: The Jackson State Tigers face a significant challenge as they prepare for their upcoming road game after a tough loss to Grambling. Head Coach T.C. Taylor emphasized the team’s need to improve their away game performance, which has been difficult this season. They will be up against Texas Southern in their home opener, currently with a record of 1-2. Coach Taylor noted Texas Southern’s strengths, particularly their formidable front line and strong linebackers, but expressed confidence in his own offensive line’s capabilities and the hard-running of his running backs.

The Tigers will look to claim their first road victory of the season.

SUMMARY: Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba referred to safety issues identified in a recent state fire marshal report on the local theater as “minor.” The report highlighted problems like blocked exits, exposed wiring, and fire alarm system issues. Although labeled minor, the theater could be red-tagged once inspections are completed. The Jackson Fire Department noted it hasn’t conducted its own inspection since 2022, emphasizing that many issues can arise unexpectedly in any building. The city intends to address these problems once mold removal is complete. Additionally, a new HVAC chiller has been delivered and is undergoing testing, with updates expected soon.
