“They were looking at me and I really liked the school,” he said. “It's a good school.”
To say that Mississippi high school athletics is in a state of flux would be an understatement. The only certainty at this point is uncertainty.

The Mississippi High School Activities Association has suspended all athletics and activities for two weeks due to the Coronavirus pandemic that has hit the state. If there will be a resumption when the two weeks end is unresolved.

French Camp softball suffered losses to Eupora 3-2 and 4A power Kosciusko 9-0 last week.
