A Jones County teenager once considered one of South Jones High School’s rising football stars is now facing a first-degree murder charge in connection with the death of a classmate.

Anthony Jackson, 16, appeared in Jones County Youth Court on June 2, where a judge ruled that he will be prosecuted as an adult. His bond was set at $1 million.

Jackson is accused in the May 16 killing of 16-year-old Yahir Alba near a Texaco station along Highway 590 outside Ellisville. Authorities have not publicly released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
The team that comes out of the lower right (Texas/Oregon/Georgia/State) is going to be the favorite.

The team that comes out of the upper left (WVU/Cal Poly/Little Rock/Troy) has a chance to get the easiest path to the national championship series in history.

Southern Miss, man.

Talk all that crap, get a good regional draw and go 0-2. Now it’s lining up where they would have played Troy to get to Omaha.

If anything, the California schools should be disappointed with that talent in their backyards.



A lot of that talent (or at least the ones that procreate it) has moved to Texas and Florida. While UCLA and USC dominated, the talent pool in California was so massive that even the smaller schools (Fullerton and Pepperdine won titles in the 90s) benefitted.

That plus traveling cross country becoming more commonplace, has shifted the power of baseball, and now softball to the SEC states.

Before Georgia won the first SEC title in baseball in 1990, only two schools East of the Mississippi won it from 1963-1989 (Miami and Ohio State)

Before Alabama did the same in softball in 2012, only one (Michigan) had ever won it. The Pac 12 had won 24 of the first 30 national championships, and Fresno State and Fullerton won 2 of the other 6.
Back when those two were D2 schools they had a nice rivalry.

My teetotaler dad took me to Jax State for a visit on the day they hosted Troy in football and there were sheets hanging off the dorms that said frick Troy.

Thought he was going to turn around and go home.

Strange numbers

Here’s how much money presidents have raised for their libraries.

Biden: ONLY $4m (goal was $200m to $300m)
Obama: $1.5B to $1.6B
George W. Bush: $500m +
Clinton: $165m
George H.W. Bush: $43m
Reagan: $57-$60m
Carter: $26m (In 1981)

How does the most popular president of all with 81m+ votes in 2024 only get $4m from his supporter to build his library?

There's always one Top 8 seed that lays an egg in regionals. Looks like it might be Auburn. Now 6-0 Milwaukee

Yeah that ain't no joke going into Norman and taking that Super Regional.



This moment is likely too big for them. Nice run and upset of Oklahoma but Texas is going to put State out.

I do like the flipping of the bracket that softball does. The losers of Saturday's 1-0 game go to the other bracket.
Looks like they put the old State logo on it, then removed part of it and put the new State logo on top of it.

Its laziness. Society is full of it if you haven't noticed. Alabama has been to the WCWS 16 times - someone knew what their logo was and let that be posted.
That was their orihginal regional seeds. The 1s and 2s made it in three quadrants and State and Tech shook things up. Oklahoma and Florida were the 1-2 in that quadrant

The system is designed to keep people poor

My teenage daughter (no pics) got a lifeguard job this summer. She set up all of her employment accounts and to get paid she has to use a service called DailyPay.

She can get her paycheck for hours that she worked the next day, but it charges around 5% to do this. Of course that's dumb so she just waits until traditional direct deposit day, but most everyone she works with is taking daily deposits.

Mississippi has its share of attention whores in its public schools.

Like the girl who wanted to wear a tux to prom so the school canceled the prom and parents made their own prom and didn’t invite her. She went on Ellen and they gave her a scholarship and made her a lesbian hero.

Six months later she was knocked up.
I know someone close to this situation

Mentally ill kid and mom that has been fishing for a lawsuit. Problem is Mississippi just doesn’t bend to this nonsense and they have no local support administration just will not bend over for this.

Years of trying to goad them into something they can sue for and this was their last chance.

I plan to do this. My philosophy is to put my kids on second base and give them every advantage I can.

SC having three without Clemson of USC is wild.

They'll make Kansas the #16 seed and State will be the 14 or 15 paired with Georgia/Georgia Tech.

I think we get Virginia as a 2 and Jax State as a tough 3.

State has 2 alums on the committee. Arkansas should think about doing that.

JK Arkansas should direct their ire at 2 Big 12 hosts.

She is coming off an injury and the death of her father.
Got to remember that State pitching kept OU off the board in all but one inning yesterday.

Last time Oklahoma was shut out? 2019. They lost a 1-0 game to bama at the WCWS.
