The Model City. It spreads.

This is off of current standings, which is of note since Helena can break into the playoff picture and shake up the back half of 6A Region 3. ALPreps is projecting Helena as No. 3 and Pelham as the 4 seed. It also projects Briarwood dropping to No. 2 and hosting Jacksonville.

First-round matchups if the season ended today (7A-5A): -Thompson vs. Opelika -Spain Park vs. Bessemer City -Pelham at McAdory -Chelsea at Hueytown -Briarwood vs. Leeds -Shelby County at Valley Thompson, Chelsea and Briarwood are on the top end of the bracket for second round.

So you're saying there's a chance...

Wishing the best for Ron!

Also on a personal note, if you've found anywhere good in the food desert that is I-20 between Pell City and Oxford, please let me know before I suffer this weekend.

If we're going to include Birmingham in this list, I feel like we need better places than this.

Excited to announce my commitment to Coastal Alabama South. @PRU334 @CoyoteSouthBSB @kschmidt_22 @OMHS_Baseball @PrepBaseballAL

There's not a racist bone in Moyer's body, and any people interpreting those comments otherwise simply don't know him or what he's talking about.

Thank you @AlecEtheredgeSC and @andrewtsimonson for including me as @shelbycreporter Star of the Week and Mr. Football candidate. So blessed to be part of an incredible @WARRIORNATION20 program and give all the glory to God and credit to my teammates and coaches.

If you have kids, this should absolutely be on your calendar. Easily the most fun thing Samford does each year.
