THOMASVILLE, Ga. — William Carey University rode a red-hot offensive start and a composed final-minute finish to earn an 87–84 victory over Thomas University on Thursday evening, with the Crusaders delivering key plays on both ends of the floor to hold off a furious late rally.
"This was just another tough game in the SSAC," said Assistant Coach Phillip McCray. "Thomas was well prepared for this game. They threw some stuff at us defensively to try to keep us out of a rhythm and they were also ready for what we threw at them.

MOORHEAD, Miss. — The Pearl River women's basketball team delivered one of its most complete offensive performances of the 2025-26 season Thursday night, rolling past Mississippi Delta 79-52.
"After the last game, we got together as coaches and decided we needed to do something different offensively," head coach Shanae Govan-Williams said. "We realized a lot of the shots we were missing were makeable. We talked to the girls about not getting sped up and trusting themselves. I think we did a great job of getting to our spots and knocking down open shots."

As of this writing, I am attending the Mississippi Municipal League’s Mid-Winter Legislative Conference “Local Leaders, Lasting Impact” in Jackson. This legislative conference brings municipal officials from across the state who will be hearing from state leaders at MML’s Capitol Day during the conference and planning for the future. I’m reminded of how important tourism is for our area and this state. Growing up here in Carroll County, I have always been aware of the abundance of history that our area has to offer; that goes from the landmarks to the stories behind them.
