🎥 THE DUDES

The Dudes: Ring of Honor (S.1 E.3). The Ron Polk Ring of Honor recognizes the very best to come through the Mississippi State baseball program. This year, former pitcher Bobby Reed and current radio announcer Jim Ellis were inducted for their achievements and had their names enshrined at Dudy Noble Field. Hear from both Jim and Bobby as they reminisce on their careers and reflect on what this honor means to them.

🎥 ALL-ACCESS

All-Access: The London Tour. Spring break was unforgettable for our Bulldog soccer club as they traveled to London to play a few games in the sport's homeland. Hear about the highlights as Macey Hodges, Maddie Anderson, and James Armstrong tell us about their trip across the pond.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Hit The Music. For the first time in program history, the Bulldog women’s golf team are the 2024 SEC Champions. The individual winner, Julia Lopez Ramirez, secured the first point for the Bulldogs in the match against Texas A&M with a 5&4 win. Izzy Pellot earned the second point of the afternoon for State with a 2&1 win, but it was freshman Avery Weed who stuck it within a couple of inches in the final hole of her match to ensure a Bulldog win.

🔼 Easy Does It. The No. 17-ranked Bulldog softball team scored 16 runs on its way to its 15th run-rule victory of the season. State started the game by scoring 12 runs in the first before downing Memphis, 16-1, in five innings. Kylee Edwards hit a two-run homer and singled home a runner for three RBIs while Nadia Barbary, Jessie Blaine, Brylie St. Clair and Ella Wesolowski all recorded multi-RBI games. Every hitter played in the game, and 10 had at least one hit.

🔼 Full Steam Ahead. The Diamond Dawgs put up three runs in the first inning and never looked back, winning by run rule, 11-0, against Alcorn State. Dakota Jordan stayed hot at the plate, going 2-for-3 in the contest, and Ethan Pulliam got the start at second base and made the most of it. Pulliam put up an RBI and two hits to end the night 2-for-3 at the plate. Pico Kohn got the start on the mound, went three innings, and punched out five on his way to his first win of the season

🔼 Capped Off. State men's golf wrapped up the regular season by completing the final round of the Mossy Oak Collegiate. Over the two-day event, the Bulldogs shot a combined 6-under par and finished tied for fourth. State's fourth-place finish allows them to continue their season-long run of top-10 finishes and marks their sixth finish in the top half of the field this season.  

🔼 Signing On. Head coach Sam Purcell has signed two of his newest Dawgs to join the State women’s basketball team. Eniya Russell and Madina Okot will each make their way to Starkville for the 2024-25 season.

🔼 Dear Ol’ State. The final week of spring football is here. As things start to wind down, Joel Coleman and Logan Lowery head back out to the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex and chat with linebacker John Lewis and wide receiver Creed Whittemore.
