Good morning, Biloxi.

The Second Liners Mardi Gras Club held its annual backpack giveaway at John Henry Beck Park on Saturday to give local kids a new backpack for school—supporting its mission to help all children start the year right.

The club also backs other local community causes throughout the year.

Biloxi police said an investigation is ongoing into a deadly crash on Popp’s Ferry Bridge late Sunday night that involved two cars + 45-year-old Leonardo Ricco was pronounced dead at the scene with no other injuries reported.

Biloxi PD is investigating a homicide in the Keesler Circle area after a welfare check call on July 19 led officers to find a deceased person and evidence of a crime—officials identified a person of interest but have made no arrests.

Today, a state auditor’s report found that nearly 75% of Mississippi public schools began classes in July while the Education Enhancement Fund cards activate on August 1, forcing teachers to pay for supplies out-of-pocket.

The report urged that setting the activation date to July 15—unlocking almost $18 million for 24,000 teachers and over 329,000 students—would ease the financial burden at the start of school.

The Biloxi Shuckers won a 6—5 game against the Montgomery Biscuits on July 20 after a five‐run first inning and solid bullpen work, clinching the season series for the second straight year.

They will begin a six‐game series at Keesler Federal Park on Tuesday at 6:35 p.m.—a matchup against the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

Southern Miss Football stopped in Gulfport today during their 2025 Beach Bash at Richburg Hall (with many alumni and fans present) where President Joe Paul, Athletic Director Jeremy McClain and Head Coach Charles Huff discussed team progress and season plans.

Quarterback Braylon Braxton and Linebacker Chris Jones added that the team will face Mississippi State on August 30th (expecting a competitive game).
