SUMMARY: The race for an incumbent Republican's seat in Mississippi's election is unusual because the Democratic nominee withdrew for medical reasons. Ty Pinkins is now running against Michael Watson and wants to expand voting access for all Mississippians. Mississippi is behind other states in implementing online voter registration and no excuse early voting. Pinkins criticizes Watson for not following the roadmap for voter access that other states have laid out. Watson encourages all Mississippians to vote and says that even if he doesn't win, he will have improved the office during his time in it.

SUMMARY: Recent cemetery vandalism in West Point, Yabish County, and Amory has drawn attention, with Sergeant Dylan Pickle's grave being notably affected. Sgt. Pickle, who served with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, died in a traffic incident nearly four years ago. Visitors would leave coins on his grave, which held deep personal significance for his mother, Debbie Pearson. Recently, nearly $10 in coins was stolen, leaving only 4 cents. Other graves in the area have also been targeted. Pearson's cameras previously caught someone stealing solar lights from the site. Authorities urge the public to report any such vandalism to prevent future incidents.

SUMMARY: The two-time defending 2A champions East Union, known as the Urchins, faced off against St. Andrews this week. Already leading 2-0 in the third inning, pitcher Landon Harmon extended the lead with a ground ball past the third baseman, allowing Drew Hollman to score, making it 3-0. Later, Ben Basil's hit brought Tristan Baldwin home, pushing the score to 5-0. Fans enjoyed the action as Harmon, a Mississippi State commit, struck out nine batters and allowed only three hits over six innings. The Urchins clinched game one with a 5-0 victory and will play again on Thursday.
