Velma Jackson’s Weatherspoon one of state’s top players
SUMMARY: Quinndary Weatherspoon, a player from Velma Jackson in Mississippi, is considered one of the top three basketball players in the state for the class of 2015. Although he may seem stoic on the court, Weatherspoon is a skilled scorer and shooter, averaging 17 points, 6 rebounds, and nearly 3 steals per game. His 6-10 wingspan makes his shots difficult to block, and his athleticism allows him to often overpower opponents. Weatherspoon has received numerous scholarship offers from schools like Mississippi State, Murray State, and Tennessee, but his focus remains on achieving team goals before personal accolades.

SUMMARY: In the DUI trial of Elijah Atkinson, he took the stand in his defense, claiming he was not drunk when he caused a crash that killed news director Marcel Walker 24 years ago. Atkinson, who was 18 at the time, stated he was confused about his surroundings after leaving a bar, though he admitted to briefly looking at his phone while driving. Friends testified that he appeared sober, but evidence indicated otherwise, as he recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.21. Conflicting statements about his alcohol consumption have emerged, raising questions about the reliability of his claims.
