The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Enterprise, AL

Enterprise had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past the Andalusia Bulldogs, posting a 35-7 victory on the road. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked fifth, while the Bulldogs are ranked 60th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

The Auburn Tigers begin their 2024 season this Saturday when they host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The game is at 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ESPN+. After going 6-7 in the first season under Hugh Freeze there are questions around this team. The Tigers will look different on offense after an overhaul of the wide receiver room that needed more talent. Defensively, Freeze added more talent on the defensive line, but the secondary comes in lacking experience. Auburn does have the potential to be a nine-win team, but everything starts on Saturday. Here is our Auburn versus Alabama A&M preview:

A developing tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is showing increasing potential to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico, intensify, and impact areas along the Gulf Coast, likely between Florida and Louisiana. If the system gains a name, it will be designated Tropical Storm Debby. This system has the potential to bring significant rainfall to the eastern Gulf Coast, and depending on its strength, could also generate hazardous winds and a dangerous storm surge.
