SUMMARY: In the upcoming state championship game, the Velma Jackson Falcons have the opportunity for a perfect season with a 13-0 record. They overcame their first deficit in the last game and feel battle-tested and ready for the final game of the year. It’s a chance for the football program to make history as they have never been a part of an official state championship before. The team is looking forward to the opportunity to make history and is hoping for another historic win in the upcoming game.

The Velma Jackson Falcons are on the brink of making history on Thursday. The Falcons will face Biggersville for the 1A state title at Ole Miss. If the Falcons win it will be their first official MHSAA state title in football. This year’s team has been close in the past but they feel they are ready now more than ever to bring some hardware back to Camden.

SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
