The Mississippi Women's Bowling Association will be holding their annual meeting on April 7th in Natchez, MS where a local Meridian woman will be taking the spotlight as she will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Mary Formby, joined with Beth Anderson of Jones County and Pat Newton of Corinth, will join the ranks of others for their meritorious service. Formby is an active member of the Women's and Youth Associations and is currently supporting the high school bowling program across the state where she coaches students from Southeast High School. We congratulate these women for their hard work and dedication to the sport of bowling.

Favre is right at home in the ancient NFC North
Seven weeks and counting until the 2010 NFL season kicks off. This week, we’re going to take a look at the frigid NFC North. The mighty ‘Frostbite Division’.

Higginbotham was one of more than 200 media representatives on hand nearly 15 years ago to document Steve McNair’s chase for the Heisman trophy. McNair, who was found dead in Nashville on Saturday, went on to finish third in the Heisman race before a storied 13-year professional career which included a Most Valuable Player trophy.
