SUMMARY: The Legacy Park development dispute in Jackson County persists, involving developers Dr. Sadia Laka and Dr. Tazan and Singing River Health Systems. Recently, the Hinds County Chancery Court approved a certificate of need appeal, allowing the project to proceed. However, Singing River accuses the developers of unauthorized construction, which Dr. Laka denies, stating only basic infrastructure work is underway. Dr. Laka believes Singing River intends to delay or stop the project, despite its benefits for community healthcare and economic growth. Singing River has 30 days to appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court. If delays continue, legal action may follow.

SUMMARY: In the 5A South State playoff game on May 10, 2025, Van Cleave fought to avoid elimination against East Central. East Central dominated game one with a run rule, powered by Abby Danis’s 11 strikeouts. In a tense second game, defensive plays shone, especially by Van Cleave behind Brooklyn Howard. After a scoreless extra innings start with runners on second, East Central took a brief lead, but Van Cleave tied it in the ninth, thanks to senior Bailey Ross’s clutch single. A crucial double play by East Central almost ended the game, but Van Cleave scored in the bottom of the ninth to win 2-1, extending their season.
