Looking For Someone In Mississippi

Is there anyone on here in the central Mississippi area that actively participates in tournaments. I'm looking for someone I can maybe spend a little time fishing with to learn from. I've been fishing on and off my whole life, but I've just recently been bitten by the bass fishing bug. I have an uncle who's been fishing his whole life but he mainly fishes for the smaller fish like crappies. I've been trying to teach myself bass fishing. I've spent a lot of time researching things on the internet and I've spent a lot of time out on the water practicing and trying to put some of the knowledge to the test. I'm looking to take my fishing to the next level and maybe partake in some tournaments. If anyone could help me out that would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time.
