Sunday evening's check found verified results from Saturday's Crossroads Marching Classic that were not available in our morning roundup. It also found a post-event Riverfest report, a new cross-country result and a timely registration reminder. The events below happened Saturday; the voting deadline is next week.
Union, Tippah and Alcorn counties: Crossroads awards announced
New Albany was named grand champion at Saturday's Crossroads Marching Classic in Corinth, Alcorn County News reported Sunday, citing the organizers' final recap and placement sheets. New Albany also placed first in Class 4A and won that class's best majorette award.
Ripley was reserve grand champion and second in Class 4A. Its band won the class's drum major, color guard and percussion awards, according to Alcorn County News and a Tippah News recap. Alcorn Central, from Glen, finished second in Class 3A and won that class's drum major and percussion awards. The morning edition reported that 11 bands competed; these placements and awards are the new development.
Union County: WTVA reports from Riverfest
New Albany's Tallahatchie Riverfest featured live music, food and vendors at the Tanglefoot Trailhead, WTVA reported in a post-event account. The report included comments from local attendees and described booths selling items including jewelry. Our earlier coverage noted the planned street closure; this is an account of what took place, without an unverified attendance figure.
Alcorn County: Central girls place second in cross-country meet
Alcorn Central's girls scored 37 points at Saturday's South Pontotoc Invitational, matching the lowest total in the 1A–4A varsity 5K, but the official standings placed them second, Alcorn County Sports reported Sunday. Five Central runners finished in the top 10; Autry Wilbanks led the team in third place. The report also lists Parker Price as second in the boys' 1A–4A race.
Benton and Tippah counties: Registration deadline approaches
Residents who need to register for Mississippi's Nov. 3 general election have until Monday, Oct. 5, the Secretary of State's Office says. Applications can be submitted in person or mailed with an Oct. 5 postmark. Tippah News highlighted the deadline Sunday for Tippah and Benton residents, who register through their respective county circuit clerks. This is a reminder of an existing statewide deadline, not a new county election order.
Prentiss County
We found no meaningful new Prentiss County development to add since the morning edition. We are not repeating the previously covered Booneville football result or Northeast Mississippi Community College honor.
