Tippah: Ripley boys golf wins Class 4A title
Ripley High School's boys golf team won the 2026 Class 4A state championship, Tippah News reported Tuesday evening, citing a congratulatory announcement from Ripley Main Street. The report says Parker Mcalister and Baker Behm each finished in the top three individually. Official team scores and the full individual leaderboard had not been posted by the Mississippi High School Activities Association when that report was published. This is a result update to the earlier championship schedule, not a repeat of the preview.
Alcorn: South Parkway widening deadline moves to January
Corinth aldermen approved a 124-day contract extension Tuesday for widening on South Parkway Street, moving the completion date to Jan. 31, Alcorn County News reported, citing the Daily Corinthian. The report attributes the delay to utility-line and fiber relocation. The work extends a turn lane south of U.S. 72; the revised date is a contract deadline, not a claim that construction is complete.
Prentiss: Sheriff announces two earlier drug arrests
The Prentiss County Sheriff's Department announced Tuesday that deputies had charged two Booneville men in separate cases dating to Oct. 5 and Oct. 10, Alcorn County News reported. Steven Yates was charged with possession of methamphetamine after an Oct. 5 safety checkpoint; Zachery Ruey Smith was charged with possession of a controlled substance after an Oct. 10 Highway 4 traffic stop. The report says each had a $10,000 bond and both cases are to go before a grand jury. These are charges, not convictions; both men are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
