Mississippi teen accused of killing her mother indicted on three counts
SUMMARY: A 14-year-old girl, Carly Madison Gregg, from Rankin County, Mississippi, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges including first-degree murder, attempted murder, and tampering with evidence. The indictment stems from a shooting incident on March 19, 2024, where Gregg allegedly killed her mother, 40-year-old Ashley Smylie, and injured her step-father. Authorities apprehended Gregg shortly after the incident. Gregg pleaded not guilty, and her bond was set at $1 million. She is being held at the Rankin County Adult Detention Center, with the trial set for September 2024. Smylie was a teacher, and Gregg a student, at Northwest Rankin High School.

SUMMARY: West Lowndes made it to the quarterfinals despite winning only one district game last year, thanks to their challenging 1A region 4 schedule. Head coach Anthony King noted that although they lost to the state champs Biggersville in the last three years, it helped prepare them for the playoffs. This year, the focus is on becoming state championship contenders, leveraging young talent and strong summer workouts. Senior Kam Evans leads by example, while junior Eli Sanders emphasizes the importance of enduring heat during summer practices. King's primary goal is to secure district wins to gain more home playoff games, starting the season against Aberdeen.
