Guud job here too, fototodd. A little too many pictures of the game and not enough of the JaySettes. If those girls can practice as hard as the boys for the game they deserve just as many pictures. I’m all about equality, you know.

Sorry Kip I didn’t mean to give ITodd your credit. My point stands about not enough pictures of the JaySettes. Their blessings shouldn’y go unseen, unnoticed or inadequately credited. Keeping it real!

I’m glad JSU won the game, though they shouldn’t have put themselves in position of sweating it out to the last play of the game after having a huge lead.

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
