SUMMARY: The East Webster Wolverines are determined to overcome their playoff losses from the past two seasons. They lost by one point to Leflore County in the third round in 2021 and fell short to Baldwyn in the first round in the previous season. Head coach Ron Price acknowledges that last year was disappointing, but the team is motivated to rewrite their playoff history. The Wolverines have 15 seniors and a skilled quarterback, Kaleb Warnock, who is entering his third year as the starter. They will make the jump from 2A to 3A and are ready to face Eupora in their season opener on August 24th.

SUMMARY: Brittany Carter's conviction for second-degree murder in connection to the death of Chornell Mayfield was upheld by the Mississippi Court of Appeals. She was sentenced to 40 years in prison, with 10 years suspended, and an additional five-year term for possession of a stolen firearm. Carter had argued self-defense during her appeal, but the court found the evidence sufficient to support the conviction. Mayfield was left comatose for two years after Carter intentionally struck her with a vehicle in 2017, eventually leading to her death. The court affirmed Carter's conviction and sentence, finding no errors in the trial court.
