South MS school district sues sporting-goods giants. Here's what to know

The Hancock County School District filed a federal class-action lawsuit in October against Riddell Sports, Varsity Brands and other major athletic equipment retailers. The suit accuses the companies of running a yearslong price-fixing scheme that inflated costs for K-12 schools across Mississippi and Louisiana. FULL STORY: South MS school district files suit against major sporting-goods companies Here are key takeaways: The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Gulfport and names Riddell, Varsity Brands, BSN Sports, Hibbett Inc., Sports Center and Rex Team Sports. Attorneys describe the group as a “cartel” that coordinated bids from 2010 to 2023. Mississippi law requires school districts to seek bids on equipment and services costing between $5,000 and $75,000. The complaint alleges the companies manipulated that lowest-bidder process. Several sales professionals with Riddell, BSN Sports, Rex Team Sports and other companies have already pleaded guilty to federal charges tied to the bid-rigging scheme. Charles J. LaDuca, firm chairman at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca, said “every dollar overpaid for a helmet or a uniform is a dollar that didn’t go to students.” His firm is representing the district alongside Mississippi attorney Don Barrett. The district is seeking monetary damages equal to three times the

More than politics are afoot in St. Tammany this month

SHAKESPEARE: Come to the Abita Springs Museum Amphitheatre if you dare starting Nov. 7 to check out William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" produced in SPLatFest-style for an audience under the stars. But be brave. Those cloven hooves sprouting leaves will also be there, and the SPLaTFest crew has not promised to be nice. Have you seen the fairies they travel with? SPLatFest is the self-described "in your face" theater company that stages Shakespeare as spicy, provocative, off-the-wall adventures. And it starts with their choice of forest folk, the ancient, amoral ones from folklore who love tricking and taunting humans. An argument between their king and queen, Oberon and Titania, can upend an entire forest. The fairies are a generally troublesome lot who definitely do not grant wishes. And Puck, with his penchant for magic pranks and mistakes, well, you wouldn't believe what he can do. In addition to the fairy folk, there are four young Athenian lovers - Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander - who swap affections roughly every quarter hour. A troupe of gloriously earnest amateurs, the Mechanicals, rehearse what may be the worst play-within-a-play ever staged. And back in Athens, Duke Theseus and Hippolyta, the Amazon queen he won in war, preside over the whole mess. This year's production marks SPLaT Fest's fourth year partnering with Abita Springs to produce Shakespeare their way — outside, under the stars and with a whole lot of twists and turns. Julie Generes directs the 5 p.m. shows over two weekends, Nov. 7-8 & 14-15. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors 60 and older. Bring a chair, bring a blanket, and we can't say this often enough when Puck is around, but keep an eye on your head. Get tickets at https://bontempstix.com/.
