About MLCS
SPOTLIGHTING THOSE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE MISS-LOU!
The Miss-Lou Champions Spotlight highlights people and charitable organizations in the Miss-Lou who are currently doing or have done, amazing things to contribute to our community. We are here to shine the spotlight on those who deserve it.
​
Our interview series is designed to learn more about the accomplishments and contributions of these great people, but it is also created to get to know more about these CHAMPIONS on a personal level.
​
Our hope is that our Champion Spotlight will encourage many others to be a point of light in this world.

Jarrett Hoffpauir grew up on the baseball fields of Vidalia, Louisiana, the son of a coach and the little brother of a champion. He went on to break records at Southern Miss, get drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals, and reach the Major Leagues before finding his true calling in the dugout.
​
Now the head baseball coach at Presbyterian Christian School in Hattiesburg, Hoffpauir has built something special. Back-to-back state championships. Back-to-back years of proving that doing things the right way works.
​
We are proud to recognize Jarrett Hoffpauir as our May 2026 Miss-Lou Champions Spotlight Champion of the Month. His story is one of roots, resilience, and a small town that never stopped producing champions.
