Tupelo boy with cerebral palsy works with community to raise money for wheelchair swings
SUMMARY: Tupelo’s Veterans Memorial Park introduced two new wheelchair-accessible swings funded by a community initiative led by 12-year-old Caleb Rodgers, who has cerebral palsy. Inspired by his own swing built by his father, Caleb motivated the community and raised over $22,000, far surpassing the goal for one swing and allowing the purchase of two, each priced around $6,000. The swings, designed for all ages and abilities, were inaugurated in December with Caleb and his family present for the celebratory ribbon-cutting event. The project showcased the community’s united support and contribution to inclusivity.

Mississippi Supreme Court runoff too close to call, hinging on absentee and affidavit ballots
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court runoff between incumbent Justice Jim Kitchens and challenger state Sen. Jenifer Branning remained unresolved late Tuesday night, with Branning leading by a narrow margin of 518 votes (0.44 percentage points) as most votes were reported. The outcome could take days due to outstanding absentee and affidavit ballots. Kitchens, who has served on the court for two terms, boasts significant legal experience, while Branning positions herself as a “constitutional conservative.” In another race, Amy St. Pe’ won a seat on the state’s second-highest court decisively against Jennifer Schloegel.

Ole Miss drops to No. 14 in latest College Football poll after Florida loss
SUMMARY: The Ole Miss football team’s chances of making the College Football Playoff are severely diminished following a 24-17 loss to unranked Florida, marking their third defeat this season. Ranked No. 13, Ole Miss struggled with turnovers and red zone inefficiencies, converting just three of 14 third-down attempts. Quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 323 yards but made critical mistakes late in the game. Despite setbacks, including the absence of starting running back Henry Parrish Jr., the Rebels cling to playoff hope. They must win the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State and rely on several key upsets to remain in contention.
