Presbyterian Christian School announces search for new football coach
SUMMARY: Presbyterian Christian School (PCS) is transitioning its athletic teams from a private-school league to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA), mostly comprising public schools. The move follows the resignation of football coach Michael Brown, who led the team for two seasons with an 8-14 record. PCS will leave the Midsouth Association of Independent Schools (MAIS) after the 2024-25 year due to travel challenges, as the school is located far from its regional MAIS opponents. The school is excited about the new chapter and will begin a search for a new head coach to lead the team into the MHSAA 3A classification.

Groups seek a new hearing on a Mississippi mail-in ballot lawsuit
SUMMARY: A federal appeals court panel ruled on October 25 that Mississippi cannot count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received a few days later. The Vet Voice Foundation and Mississippi Alliance for Retired Americans are asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider, arguing the panel misinterpreted federal and state laws. They claim that counting such ballots dates back to the Civil War and has been approved by Congress for over 50 years. The case could impact U.S. voting laws, with bipartisan support for Mississippi’s practice. The ruling does not affect the Nov. 5 election results.
