More Baton Rouge news inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorWe're on the downhill slide toward the weekend. Here's what's going on today: A youth baseball coach who tried to break up a fight outside a West Baton Rouge Parish bar is being hailed as a hero. More than 200 people gathered for a balloon-release to mark the death of Trey Allen. A Livingston Parish deputy has been disciplined after leaving a police dog in a hot car last month. Jackie DeRobertis has the story here. LSU visits Mississippi State this weekend. Our sports columnist Scott Rabalais says it's Ed Orgeron's biggest game since the 2019 national championship game. Here's a hint: Think back to Les Miles' fourth game in 2016. Get out and enjoy the nice weather this weekend. It's so nice not to have the humidity or the hurricanes for a change. |
