LORMAN — After starting the season against two tough FBS opponents, Alcorn State took advantage of being the bully for once.
Quarterback Xzavier Vaughn accounted for 228 total yards — 184 passing and 44 rushing — and ran for three touchdowns as the Braves beat NAIA member Edward Waters 38-7 Saturday for their first victory of the season.
Vaughn had two of his three rushing TDs in the second half to help Alcorn (1-2) pull away. Alcorn finished with 201 rushing yards as a team, and limited Edward Waters to 101 total yards.
Alcorn, which plays in the Football Championship Subdivision, lost its first two games to Football Bowl Subdivision members UAB and Vanderbilt by a combined score of 96-3.
Jackson State 33, Southern U. 15
Jackson State scored three touchdowns in the first half to jump out to a huge lead and rolled to a victory over Southern University in its Southwestern Athletic Conference opener.
Jackson State (2-1, 1-0 SWAC) rushed for 201 yards, spread among seven players. Irv Mulligan led the way with 51 yards and a touchdown. Ahmad Miller had 35 yards and a TD, and J.D. Martin had 33 yards and a TD.
Jackson State quarterback Jacobian Morgan completed 12 of 21 passes for 153 yards, with a 30-yard touchdown to Marvin Landy early in the second quarter that helped the Tigers take a 23-0 lead.
Former Warren Central star Joshua Griffin kicked a 29-yard field goal with 36 seconds left in the second quarter for Southern’s first points.
Southern (1-2, 0-1) only had 29 rushing yards as a team, although quarterback Noah Bodden passed for 352 yards and a touchdown.
Murray State 59, Mississippi Valley State 8
Jayden Johannsen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, and Murray State (1-2) rushed for 219 yards as a team to beat Mississippi Valley State (0-3).
Johannsen accounted for two touchdowns in the first half as Murray State took a 31-8 lead into halftime.
Ty’Jarian Williams threw a 15-yard TD pass to Kerrick Ross late in the second quarter for Valley’s only touchdown.
Wingate 21, Delta State 7
Wingate (2-0) held Delta State (2-1) to 253 yards of total offense and handed the Statesmen their first loss of the season on Saturday. Wingate had five sacks.
Brooks Bentley completed 16 of 28 passes for 183 yards and one touchdown for Wingate, while O’Brien Barnett and Noah Bell scored rushing touchdowns.
Cole Kirk had a 65-yard touchdown run to give Delta State a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, but that one play accounted for nearly half of the team’s 144 rushing yards.
Texas A&M-Kingsville 27, Mississippi College 7
Roger Hagan ran for 92 yards and two touchdowns, and Texas A&M-Kingsville scored 24 unanswered points to beat Mississippi College (0-3).
Mississippi College took a 7-3 lead on Preston Godfrey’s 59-yard touchdown run with 2:42 left in the first quarter, and then did not score again.
Godfrey finished with 79 rushing yards on seven carries. Choctaws quarterback Eli Anderson was 13-of-17 passing for only 84 yards.
Trinity (Texas) 55, Belhaven 10
Seven players scored touchdowns for Trinity (Texas), and the Tigers scored on offense, defense and special teams in a rout of Belhaven (0-2).
Lamont Nickleberry scored on a 65-yard punt return and Tyson Cornett on a 24-yard interception return for Trinity (1-1). Winston Hutchison led the offense with 80 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Belhaven trailed 34-0 at halftime and got its first points on Constantine Hontzas’ 25-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. It also had a touchdown on a 2-yard pass from Brock Morris to Cooper Tullo with 3:38 left in the game.

Esquire names Mississippi seafood place among Top 33 best new restaurants
What to do with leftover food
Stop wasting leftovers. Here’s how to get the most out of your meals.
Problem Solved
A Mississippi restaurant has made a short list of the hottest new restaurants in America for 2025. Esquire named the 33 best new places to eat.
“… This has been the Year of the Good Time,” writer Joshua David Stein noted. “A good time not in an ‘ostrich in the sand’ way or in a ‘decline and fall of the Roman Empire’ mode. A good time founded on the recognition that good times — with friends around a table, breaking bread — are more important than ever in chaotic, topsy-turvy years like these.”
The national list includes places that meet what Esquire’s Food & Drinks Editor Jeff Hordinier calls “’the five C’s’ —we’re looking for a sweet spot of hospitality that incorporates comfort, creativity, cool, community, and (of course) excellent cooking.”
Which Mississippi seafood place did Esquire call one of the best new restaurants?
Siren Social Club in Gulfport made the Esquire list of the Top 33 new restaurants in the U.S. Chef Adam Sumrall and his wife and business partner Tresse Sumrall recently attended a party in New York City to celebrate the honor.
“The old building used to be a mortuary, but it’s got plenty of life in it now. Festooned with images of tropical flora and ruled by a statue of an orange enchantress who looks ready for the Life of a Showgirl world tour, Siren Social Club makes it clear from the outset that you are here to shake off the cobweb,” chef Amethyst Ganaway wrote for Esquire.
The Sumralls opened Siren on Halloween night in 2024. It’s in the same building a Hotel Vela, a boutique option in Gulf Coast hospitality. The pair also run White Pillars in Biloxi.
They excel at elevated dining experiences in fun, elegant settings. The Michelin guide also gave both Siren Social Club and White Pillars nods in its first American South’s 2025 Recommended Restaurants list.
“Siren Social Club dares to be different,” the guide notes.
Southern Living also named it one of the 20 new restaurants in the South earlier this year.
“Swanky and cool, it’s a fun spot for early birds and night owls alike,” wrote Senior Food Editor Josh Miller.
What’s on the Siren Social Club menu?
Chef Adam Sumrall brings Southern cooking paired with haute cuisine training. He’s a graduate of Ole Miss and the Culinary Institute of America, according to the Hotel Vela website. The McComb native won the King of American Seafood title at the 2021 Great American Seafood Cook-off in New Orleans. He’s a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist for best chef in the South who’s been featured on several cooking shows. Sumrall won Food Network’s “Alex vs America.”
“Their admirably robust menu indulges coastal cravings via seasonal oysters and Gulf shrimp while appeasing land lovers with steakhouse favorites and handmade pastas,” Miller wrote.
Esquire highlighted the “luxe party food,” particularly crispy chicken with hot honey, thousand-layer potatoes, beef Wellington and a shrimp cocktail that comes with buttered crackers.
Current menu listings include a caviar service, beef tartare and pork chop paillard.
When can I go to Siren Social Club?
According to the website, Siren Social Club is open 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
It’s at 1409 24th Ave., Gulfport.
