SUMMARY: Parish Alford, a longtime sports writer for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, has published a new book that serves as a perfect gift for sports enthusiasts. With nearly three decades of experience, Alford shares personal stories from his extensive career covering college football, primarily focusing on Mississippi State and Ole Miss, alongside some high school anecdotes. His book emphasizes the people and relationships in sports rather than just the teams and players. Available in local bookstores, including Reeds and Square Books, as well as on Amazon, it offers a nostalgic look at the sports landscape in Northeast Mississippi.
