The event, themed “popcorn prayer,” allows community members to request prayers from church volunteers.

SUMMARY: A section of Highway 72 in Corinth has reopened after several hours of closure due to an 18-wheeler that tipped over while making a turn. Chief Landon Tucker reported that the semi’s load shifted, causing the trailer to fall on its side and knock down a power pole and line. The truck was carrying metal and steel, which spilled onto the highway. Cleanup efforts took until 3:45 AM to complete, but fortunately, the driver was not injured in the incident. Traffic is now back to normal following the removal of the debris on Highway 72 and 45.

SUMMARY: Due to rain, many high school games have been rescheduled, but some are still taking place, including a Class 1A Region 4 matchup in Chickasaw County, where Jason Williams reports live from Okalona High School. The Vman Rams, undefeated at 2-0, face the Okalona Chiefs, currently 1-1 in division play. If Vman wins, they secure the top seed in the playoffs, while Okalona needs to win by at least 12 points to impact the seeding. The outcomes could lead to a point differential determining the remaining seeds. Highlights and the “Giant of the Week” winner will be featured later.
