Heavy rainfall forces closure of Moro Bay Park amid widespread flooding
SUMMARY: Heavy rainfall in South Arkansas caused widespread flooding, leading to the closure of Moro Bay Park. The park, located near the Ouachita River, is experiencing major flooding, potentially reaching record levels. Officials project the floodwaters will crest by Sunday night. The park is built to withstand floods, but cleanup will be needed afterward. Though it’s uncertain when the park will reopen, it could be up and running about seven days after the waters recede, assuming no further rain. Moro Bay Park has faced similar flooding challenges, including near-record flooding in 2018.

Derek Carr’s shoulder injury: WWL Sports, Locked on Saints Podcast talk what it means, NFL drafts
SUMMARY: Derek Carr’s shoulder injury has raised concerns for the New Orleans Saints, possibly affecting their 2025 season plans. The injury may have been anticipated by the team, prompting them to research this year’s NFL quarterback draft class. This situation makes it likely that the Saints will consider drafting a quarterback with the number nine overall pick, although it’s unclear which player they prefer. Options include Shador Sanders and Jackson Dart. Spencer Rattler, already on the roster, could also step in as a starter under new head coach Kellen Moore, who is known for developing quarterbacks.

Sources say Saints quarterback Derek Carr is dealing with a shoulder injury that may sideline him for the upcoming NFL season.
