MOBILE, Ala. — Jackson State dominated for 2 1/2 quarters Saturday — which was good, because Alabama A&M owned the last 1 1/2.

Jacobian Morgan threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns, and Jackson State built a 28-point lead before hanging on to beat Alabama A&M 45-38 in the Gulf Coast Challenge in Mobile.

Alabama A&M (2-3, 0-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference) scored 21 unanswered points in the last 16:14 of the game. DJ Moffett’s 4-yard touchdown run with 2:46 left got the Bulldogs to within 45-38.

Jackson State then picked up two first downs on its final drive to seal it.

Irv Mulligan finished with 86 rushing yards and two touchdowns for Jackson State (4-2, 2-0). Joanes Fortilien caught six passes for 83 yards and two TDs, and Travis Terrell Jr. had a 96-yard kickoff return touchdown.

Alabama A&M quarterback Xavier Lankford was 21-of-42 for 245 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown.

In other SWAC games on Saturday, Alcorn State beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff 38-28 on homecoming; Florida A&M beat Alabama State 28-13; Texas Southern topped Virginia Lynchburg 28-10; Nicholls State knocked off Southern University 51-7; and Incarnate Word beat Prairie View A&M 56-28.

Huntingdon 45, Belhaven 31
Dorian Smith threw three touchdown passes during a 35-point second quarter that propelled Huntingdon (2-2, 2-0 USA South) past Belhaven (1-3, 1-1).

Smith finished 13-of-19 passing for 226 yards. He started the big second quarter with a 55-yard TD pass to RJ White on the first play, then added a 23-yard TD to Brody Covington and an 8-yarder to White with seven seconds left for a 35-17 halftime lead.

Belhaven never got closer than 11 points in the second half.

Blake Kirby was 15-of-31 passing for 257 yards and one touchdown for Belhaven. He threw two interceptions and was sacked three times.

West Florida 31, Mississippi College 0
Kyriee Lewis scored on a 52-yard interception return, Virgil Lemons on a 58-yard punt return, and West Florida (2-2, 1-1 Gulf South Conference) shut out Mississippi College (0-5, 0-3).

Jay Sharp rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown for West Florida, which totaled 266 yards as a team on the ground.

Mississippi College had minus-27 rushing yards, seven total yards, and two first downs as its offensive woes continued. The Choctaws have scored a total of 44 points this season and been held to seven or less in four of their five games.

Delta State 54, Chowan 9
Cole Kirk threw three touchdown passes, and Delta State (4-1, 1-0 Gulf South Conference) ran for 248 yards as a team as it rolled over Chowan (1-3, 1-1).

Kelvin Smith led the Statesmen’s rushing attack with 80 yards and two touchdowns on only 10 carries. He got the rout started with scoring runs of 18 and 7 yards in the first quarter.

Kirk added 42 yards and one TD rushing to go with his 163 passing yards. Two of his passing touchdowns went to Jaylen Green for 48 and 2 yards.

Esquire names Mississippi seafood place among Top 33 best new restaurants

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.

Ohio man pleads guilty to possessing device-making equipment in Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – An Ohio man pled guilty last week to illegally possessing credit card encoding devices in Mississippi.

According to court documents, Sean Matthew Langston, Jr., 33, was arrested in Rankin County on April 28, 2024, following a traffic stop. Investigators said Langston and his co-defendant, John Carleton Johnson, Jr., were found to be in possession of 322 gift cards, 17 reencoded instruments containing stolen bank card data, and two magstripe encoding devices.

Prosecutors said Langston and Johnson could be seen on CCTV footage at various retail stores throughout the Jackson-metro area purchasing gift cards with known cloned instruments.

Langston pled guilty to one count of illegal possession, production, or trafficking in device-making equipment with intent to defraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 14, 2026, and faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.
