Mississippi State Basketball 2024-25 SEC Game Sites Announced

Mississippi State Basketball 2024-25 SEC Game Sites Announced

The Southeastern conference released the conference schedule for every men’s basketball team on Monday afternoon.

Alabama
Florida
Kentucky
LSU
Ole Miss
Missouri
South Carolina
Texas
Texas A&M

at Alabama
at Arkansas
at Auburn
at Georgia
at Ole Miss
at Oklahoma
at South Carolina
at Tennessee
at Vanderbilt

As you can see above, Mississippi State scheduled three home-and-home series against Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina. Additionally, the Bulldogs’ home matchup against Texas is the first between the two schools since 2012 and the away contest at Oklahoma is the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

The 18-game slate tips off on January 4 and runs through March 8. Finalized dates, times and television assignments are slated to be released at a later date.

Head coach Chris Jans and his team finished this past season with a 21-14 record, which ended in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament against Michigan State.

Mississippi State’s efforts on the basketball court did not go unnoticed by the school, as the university showered them with honors at the 2024 Maroon And White Night from a couple of weeks ago.

The team itself earned five awards, with two returning players taking home at least one honor.

Guard Josh Hubbard was named the Male Freshman of the Year, as he earned spots on the All-SEC Freshman Team, All-SEC Second Team and was the recipient of the Bailey Howell Trophy, which is given annually to the best men’s college basketball player in the state of Mississippi by thenMississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

Forward Cameron Matthews was named the Male Breakout Athlete of the Year. The All-SEC Defensive Team member has been known for his versatility throughout the season as he finished top 3 among the Bulldogs in every stat category.

But perhaps the most notable achievement of that night went to the entire men’s basketball team as they won the Moment of the Year, which is awarded to the year’s biggest win across all sports. This stems from the Bulldogs’ 77-72 upset over No. 5 Tennessee on Jan. 10. The Bulldogs made school history in this SEC bout, as it was their first win over an AP Top 10 team since 2002.

Storms cause thousands to lose power; flooded roads

Published 7:40 am Monday, May 13, 2024

NATCHEZ — Adams County and City of Natchez offices have a delayed opening Monday, May 13, due to overnight storms causing power loss, water and debris in roadways.

Entergy has over 2,200 power outages reported by Adams County customers. Southwest electric has an additional 2,000 outages reported.

In a community announcement Neifa Hardy, Ph.D., Adams County Emergency Management liaison officer said offices would open at 10 a.m.

Parents with school age children should check with their child’s school about any delayed start or closings, she said.

Residents are cautioned to steer clear of roads that have power lines or water across them.

“If you see any bands of water, turn around and don’t drown,” Hardy said.

City and county officials need to get issues resolved quickly – Mississippi's Best Community Newspaper

City and county officials need to get issues resolved quickly

Published 11:57 pm Sunday, May 12, 2024

The leaders of government in the city and the county have a lot of work to do, and constituents are ready for them to get to work and get it done.

Lives hang in the balance.

For many years, Adams County has contracted with the City of Natchez for fire protection services. For several years, the late Dan Dillard, who sat on the city’s board of aldermen until his death in March 2023, advocated for the city to ask for more money for those fire services. Dillard was a numbers guy, and he said the city was subsidizing fire protection for those who live in the county.

Some county supervisors think some fires should be rated differently than others, and the city should not receive as much money for responding to them. For instance, those supervisors say a grass fire or a car fire should not be rated differently in terms of cost to the county than a structure fire.

However, the city is still obligated to respond to and man those fires in the county. And we all know how quickly a car fire and a house fire could turn into something more.

At the same time, the original contract between the city and county called for the city to work side by side with the county’s volunteer firefighters. Fire Chief Robert Arrington said volunteers responding to fires in the county have fallen in number through the years.

Regardless, the voters of Natchez and Adams County have elected our mayor and aldermen and supervisors to do this work, and they need to come together and get a new contract agreed upon post haste.

At the same time, E-911 dispatchers have been stuck in a moldy, damp basement of the Adams County Jail while the county and city have been unable to come to agreement going forward about where dispatchers should be located and how much each should pay toward those services. That battle has been going on for at least two years.

And, that community swimming pool … we need not say more.

Enough!

Fire protection for the county and dispatch services for the city are areas the city and county have cooperated for a number of years and have worked well. It would behoove the county to continue fire service contracting with the city. Same for the city with dispatch. It would cost Adams County much more money annually to build county fire stations, hire full-time firefighters and install water towers and hydrant systems than to simply continue working with the city.

The city would need to purchase duplicate equipment and hire as many as 10 new employees to set up its own dispatch operation. And no doubt that would deteriorate the communication thus cooperation we enjoy right now between the sheriff’s office and the city’s police department.

This kind of prolonged stalemate adds much legitimacy to the call for combined city and county government. County and city leaders should be looking for more ways to work together and save taxpayers money, rather than protecting fiefdoms and costing taxpayers even more for duplicated services.

Perhaps all of the talk about how well the city and county is working together is just that — talk.

City and county officials, sit down at a table soon and get this resolved, please, for the sake of the people you were elected to serve.
