GLUCKSTADT, Miss. (WJTV) – Gluckstadt leaders want to revive GermanFest. The Madison County Journal reported city leaders want to see the tradition continue.

Florida State assistant expected to take HBCU job
A Florida State assistant is expected to take a vacant HBCU basketball job. Alcorn State is expected to hire Jake Morton as its next head coach, according to a report by Jon Rothstein. The move is the latest in a busy offseason across HBCU basketball, as Morton steps in to replace Landon Bussie, who left last month to take over at Chicago brings a deep resume to the HBCU ranks, having served as an assistant coach at numerous Division I programs and currently completing his first season at Florida State under Leonard Hamilton. His return to head a program aligns with Alcorn's desire to maintain momentum after Bussie helped make the Braves a consistent force in the SWAC and the broader HBCU basketball landscape.A former standout at the University of Miami, Morton played for Hamilton from 1989 to 1993, later returning to the Hurricanes as an assistant coach. He helped guide Miami to three straight 20-win seasons and a 2008 NCAA Tournament berth. His coaching path includes stops at East Carolina, Jacksonville State, Coppin State, and even an early stop at HBCU Bowie State, where he began his coaching career in 2000. Morton's time at Jacksonville State marked one of the most successful stretches in program history, including an Atlantic Sun regular-season title and an NCAA Tournament appearance. His teams averaged 20 wins per season, a level of consistency Alcorn State fans will welcome. Alcorn State is aiming to stay competitive in the SWAC and nationally among HBCUs, and Jake Morton's hiring signals a commitment to experience and proven results. As HBCU programs continue to raise their profiles and invest in high-level coaching talent, Morton's arrival is both a reunion with his roots and a chance to lead his own program after one year at Florida State.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Tionna Lidge scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds — the senior's first career double-double — to help No. 1 seed Southern beat Alcorn State 64-44 on Saturday night to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament. Southern (20-14) clinched its seventh NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, all since 2002. DaKiyah Sanders and Soniyah Reed also scored 11 points apiece for Southern. Destiny Brown made a jumper 15 seconds into the second quarter that gave the Braves their last lead at 22-20. They went scoreless over the next 7 1/2 minutes as five different Southern players scored in a 14-0 run — including 3-pointers by Reed and Taniya Lawson — and the Jaguars took a 36-24 lead into halftime. No. 6 seed Alcorn State (14-18), which beat Southern 59-55 in overtime on the road in the only regular season meeting between the teams on Feb. 1, made 2 of 10 from the field, 0 of 5 from 3-point range, and committed seven turnovers as it was outscored 16-4 in the second quarter.

Southern, which went into the game leading the SWAC in scoring defense (57.3 per game) and forcing 20.2 turnovers per game (No. 28 nationally), limited the Braves to their second-lowest scoring output of the season.
