AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

NCAA Baseball: The NCAA just set the full Division I tournament field. Mississippi State is the No. 14 overall seed and hosts the Starkville Regional, with Louisiana (No. 3) among the teams. Southern Miss is No. 9 and hosts in Hattiesburg, while Ole Miss heads to Nebraska for the Lincoln Regional—regional games start Friday. Tragedy on LA-190: Two separate reports detail fatal crashes involving 19-year-old LSU students Courtney Hodge and Cynthia Hodge on Louisiana Highway 190 near Jennings Road; both say the Kia failed to slow as a commercial vehicle slowed for a crossover, and investigators are still looking into what happened. Memorial Day Travel: AAA expects 45 million Americans to travel at least 50 miles, but gas prices remain high—Louisiana is among the cheaper markets, even as experts warn the national average could hit $5 soon. Weather & Environment: A record-level sargassum surge is building, with satellite data showing seaweed increasing across tracked regions and pushing toward the Gulf and Florida. Local Business Growth: Slidell’s Laser Image says its marketing business has exploded over three years, now serving nearly 50 clients and expanding operations.
