So much happened in the 24-hour trip to Tuscaloosa that Sports Editor @CMac217 had to empty his notebook from all the other highlights that didn't make it in the regular coverage. Check out more from behind the scenes of the Class 5A State Finals. #ALHSFB https://t.co/pAR5HBTHMQ

Happy #GivingTuesday! Super thankful to have hit my fundraising and physical goals this @Movember but why stop there!? I added a few more miles to my movement challenge so let’s keep changing the face of men’s health with more-impactful donations today at https://t.co/Qi9ebQVSM8!

.@Movember is aiming to change the face of men’s health by raising funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health and suicide, by way of the upper lip. For the 8th year, Sports Editor @CMac217 has ditched his beard: https://t.co/zXrftoD1Cc

[Cole McNanna @CMac217]

Today’s the big day @Movember! I’m getting ready for my beard’s annual funeral, head over to https://t.co/0jZxWZ1JRr for my full story and to donate today! #Movember2023

How do people who don’t enjoy sports experience emotions like these? Asking for me. Like do people get this fired up over art or music or cars or…? Sports are incredible man.

RIP Tim Wakefield, thanks for the memories. He was my first interview as an intern with the Patriot Ledger at the all-scholastic dinner. Still think about his advice on leaving mistakes, bad stuff behind: “that��s why the rear view mirror is so small compared to the windshield.”

The recruiting roller coaster is a wild ride, just ask @fhsperryt1 and @Ronnie_Royal3x. The pair of top prospects break down how Lower Alabama has turned into a recruiting destination. #ALHSFB @FoleyLionsFB @GSHSDolphins https://t.co/0aM2RKYKsi
