Southern Miss men’s basketball steamrolled by South Alabama 83-64
SUMMARY: The Southern Miss men’s basketball team underperformed in a 83-64 loss against South Alabama, remaining scoreless for almost five minutes initially. Despite having a healthy roster, Southern Miss struggled offensively, shooting poorly both from the field and three-point range, and turned the ball over frequently. Samuel Tabe scored 29 points for South Alabama, who executed one of their best offensive performances of the season. Interim head coach Juan Cardona, managing for Jay Ladner during his medical leave, admitted there were no excuses for the team’s poor performance and emphasized the need to regain chemistry. Victor Hart led Southern Miss with 13 points and 12 rebounds. The Golden Eagles aim to improve before the Sun Belt Conference tournament. They next play Louisiana on senior night.

Gov. Tate Reeves working on plan to call special session after budget collapse
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers left the state capitol without approving a budget, leaving Republican Gov. Tate Reeves to potentially call a special session before funding runs out on June 30, 2025. Reeves held a press conference to reassure residents, asserting that state operations would continue normally without an imminent threat of shutdown. He emphasized that disagreements were procedural, not about the $7 billion budget content, and encouraged calm among residents and agencies uncertain about funding. Reeves may address additional legislation during a special session, including mobile sports betting and school choice, while seeking to maintain efficiency and minimize costs.

Coastal Mississippi’s economic future is bright if we diversify
SUMMARY: Coastal Mississippi’s economy heavily relies on gaming, military bases, and government contracts, generating around $1.6 billion from casinos and substantial employment. Ingalls Shipbuilding and Stennis Space Center contribute significantly as well. However, dependence on these sectors poses vulnerability, especially with competition from online betting and emerging markets. To secure long-term growth, the region needs to diversify beyond gaming and embrace manufacturing, particularly in high-tech sectors. A collaborative development strategy could promote Coastal Mississippi as a hub for technology and logistics. Long-term planning and investment in workforce training are essential for sustainable economic resilience and future prosperity.
