Friday, Dec. 13 Montgomery and Carroll County communities came together under the mission of giving back. Both counties were host to toy drives throughout the year in preparation for their regular Christmas events. For Montgomery County this event was the annual Toys for Tots event at the Winona National Guard Armory. For Carroll County this event was the fifth annual KAKE Fund Christmas Toy Drive. Despite these events being hosted in Carroll and Montgomery Counties, their reach touched the hearts of families far beyond just these two counties.

In a way, the New Orleans Bowl transpired just like the 2025 season did for Southern Miss — it started dominant and ended in collapse.
Southern Miss controlled the opening half, holding a 13-6 lead at halftime with the score closer than the actual game flow indicated. But everything shifted late in the second quarter when Western Kentucky starting quarterback Tisdale was injured.
