A lively gathering unfolded last weekend in Pascagoula, Mississippi, where the local Panthers and Eagles came together for a community pep rally that blended youthful enthusiasm with hometown pride.
The ceremony paid tribute to the Pascagoula 6U Diamond Youth World Series champions, a team that captured its first world series title since 1971, drawing cheers from players, families, and longtime supporters.

Carter Taylor, a defensive end and linebacker for the Resurrection Eagles, addressed the crowd, emphasizing how the rally reflects the deep‑rooted connection between the teams and the city they represent.
Sean Norvel, a running back for the Pascagoula Panthers, added his perspective, noting the surge of fan energy that will carry both squads into the opening week of the 2026 season.
With the regular season slated to begin on Friday, August 28, coaches and players alike are using the momentum from the rally to fine‑tune strategies and build chemistry ahead of Friday night matchups.
