pitcher Justin Steele had his George County jersey retired at halftime.
City of Lucedale also officially declared today Justin Steele Day.
Baseball in Mississippi, last 12 months:
-MSU wins the NCAA national championship (2021)
-PRCC wins the NJCAA national championship (2022)
-Southern Miss will host Ole Miss for a Super Regional (2022)
Not bad. Not bad at all.
With the 25th pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, the Indiana Fever select…
Ameshya Williams-Holiday, from Gulfport, Mississippi. (West Harrison/Jackson State).
George County alum and Indiana star Ty Fryfogle had a monster 2020.
I caught up with him to talk about the transition from Lucedale to Bloomington, his success, and what’s next.
Just 2 days after Stone athletic director Kevin Conard's tragic passing, his son, Gehrig, took the mound for the Tomcats in round 3 of the playoffs.
He threw a 10K shutout.
Two springs ago, I sat next to OG Anunoby for a class about dinosaurs. This week, he will start in an NBA playoff game for a team named after a dinosaur and guard Lebron James.
Life comes at you fast.
Emma Utterback and Delaney Richason - lifelong teammates, and lifelong friends - committed to Alisa Kresge on a vision.
Now, four years later, the two Indiana kids are going dancing. Together.
Personal news: I’m heading down south. I’ll be a sports reporter/anchor for WLOX in Biloxi, MS starting in September. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get started.

question ahead of tonight's game:
if Indiana starts out cold shooting from 3, will the Big Ten move the three-point line a few feet inward mid-game because the initial rules didn't quite favor the conference enough?
Surreal scene. MGCCC scores the game-winning touchdown with 2 seconds left. The players are holding up Levi Madison’s jersey. The fans are chanting “For Levi.”
Incredible.

I am 21 years old and had trouble falling asleep last night due to excitement for today. My alarm was the CBS March Madness music. The little kid in me doesn't come out for many things, but this weekend is absolutely one of them.
Just had the privilege of catching up with Gulfport's own 3-time Olympic medalist Brittney Reese (

Emma: "It was kind of a no-brainer."
Delaney: "It was the easiest decision I ever made."
Robin Duncan: “Couldn’t have picked a better place than Vermont. It’s a very special place for me and my entire family. Vermont is one of our homes now.”

At 8:20, Long Beach High School turned on the lights at the football stadium. The lights will go on each night for 20 minutes and 20 seconds for the next 20 days to honor the senior class of 2020.
It all started in Lucedale, Mississippi for Ty Fryfogle, who hopes to hear his name called in this weekend's NFL Draft. He impressed at the combine, an invite he got on his birthday.
Hear more from him tonight at 10.
I understand Tiger made the ratings boom through the roof and will do so whenever he’s in contention. But the lack of coverage and attention Koepka has received compared to Tiger 24 hours later is ridiculous. Dude has won 3 of his last 6 major appearances.
🔊One minute of Emma Utterback talking about the importance of National Girls and Women In Sports Day. Worth your time.
She says she had role models in basketball growing up, and now it's her turn to try and be that role model for younger girls.
#NGWSD
Extremely happy to announce our Friday Night Football Showdown took home 1st place at the MAB Awards earlier this month.
Our entire team works so hard each week to bring all of you the best possible coverage. A huge thank you to everyone who tuned in. Here’s to next season.
Officials pumping water from 90 between the Lighthouse and the Beau Rivage. I’m told there are portions in this stretch that have been knee-deep all day.
🔊"If you put work into passion, you can achieve anything."
Emma & Delaney made names for themselves at UVM on the court and in the community, coaching the next generation of women's basketball players.
I asked Emma what her message is to that generation. Her full response.
🔊Emma Utterback and Delaney Richason met in fifth grade, playing on the same basketball team in Indiana.
A decade later, they're still teammates - and close friends - at UVM.
Really fun conversation with these two. Story coming 🔜
Surge has blown way past the fence at the Bay/Waveland Yacht Club.
This is at the corner of N Beach Blvd. and Second St, just north of the Hancock Co. side of the Bay St. Louis Bridge.
50 total touchdowns, over 3,000 all-purpose yards, and now, a Mr. Football award. Historic season for

Huge matchup with

and Oak Grove on tap for Friday.
WATCH: 21 years ago, Damarius Bilbo won the state title as Moss Point's QB. 2 years ago, he got a call from Rich Paul, hoping to extend Klutch Sports' reach into the NFL.
On his journey, dream-chasing, and finding your purpose.
🔊Delaney and Emma reflecting on their careers in Vermont and this season as a whole.
Head coach Alisa Kresge mentioned how important they've been in building the culture at UVM, committing to an "uncertain" staff after her first full season as HC.
A Hoosier homecoming.
Emma and Delaney will take the floor at Mackey Arena tonight, both within 90 miles of their Indiana homes.
As UVM's WNIT journey reaches the quarterfinals, the next challenge is in the duo's backyard for a big test against Purdue.
Personal thread (1/2).
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. 4 years ago today, my friends and I lost a close friend, and we miss him every single day that goes by.
Delaney Richason & Emma Utterback met through basketball in 5th grade. They're still teammates today - about 700 miles from their Indiana homes - in Burlington.
How their friendship has flourished, and helped shape the culture of the UVM program.
WATCH:
🔊UVM players and coaches have said they always focus on being 'not too high, not too low.'
In the midst of a 7-game win streak, Delaney Richason says the team has been doing mindfulness training with some of their sports psychologists to stay locked in.
Bella Vito was - once again - everywhere defensively, including a huge block late in the game.
On her ability to stay locked in on defense every second she's on the floor: "We're very set on our defensive principles."
Emma Utterback and Delaney Richason were especially fired up postgame after this one, but there's still work to do.
Utterback: "I'm so, so happy, and ready to get back to the grind tomorrow."
