Friday's state volleyball finals and a newly reported voting schedule lead this Saturday morning update for Union, Prentiss, Alcorn, Benton and Tippah counties. The match results are from Friday, Oct. 16; neither game took place Saturday morning.
Union: New Albany takes Class 4A volleyball title
New Albany defeated Choctaw Central 3–1 in Friday's Class 4A final, according to the Mississippi High School Activities Association's official result. After dropping the opening set 22–25, New Albany won 25–7, 25–13 and 25–10 to claim the championship. The association published its detailed result after Friday's match.
Alcorn: Kossuth finishes runner-up in Class 3A
Kossuth fell 3–1 to Our Lady Academy in Friday's Class 3A final, WLOX reported. Kossuth took the second set 25–20 after losing the first 21–25; Our Lady Academy won the final two 25–18 and 25–8. The MHSAA championship page also names Our Lady Academy the Class 3A winner. This is the final result for the match previewed earlier in local coverage.
Prentiss: two Saturday absentee voting sessions listed
The Prentiss County Circuit Clerk's Office plans in-person absentee voting from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 31, Alcorn County News reported Friday evening, citing the Daily Corinthian. The general election is Nov. 3. The local report flags an apparent date error in the underlying account for the final in-person absentee day, so voters should confirm deadlines and eligibility with the clerk's office before visiting.
No separate meaningful new Benton or Tippah County development with enough verifiable detail was found in this morning's source check.
