SUMMARY: Andrew Brown, a track and field freshman Phenom in Mississippi, has been deemed ineligible to compete this season by the MHSAA due to an anonymous complaint about him racing in the New Balance Indoor Nationals. Despite this, many, including his family and supporters, believe the rule is unfair and is limiting opportunities for young runners in the state. Andrew’s family plans to appeal the decision, with the hope of changing the rule to allow more opportunities for runners across Mississippi. The issue has sparked a conversation about the future of high-level sports in the state and the impact of such restrictions on young athletes.

SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed Halloween—I certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three-week dry spell, with lingering showers in areas like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as hurricane season wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact South Mississippi. Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your weekend!
