“This was a huge game for us. In our short history as a varsity program, this is the first time we went on the road against a good opponent with a winning record and found a way to win. It showed maturity because it was a back and forth game. We made mistakes. We gave up plays. But we battled back and won. I preached that to our players all week long. Good teams find a way to win and we did that,” said CCA Patriots head coach Jed Marsh following the Patriots’ 34-28 win over the Fullington Academy Trojans…

Tonight at the Wiregrass Arena in Nicholls, a significant concert event was supposed to take place. Headlined by award-winning and chart-topping country group Shenandoah, the lineup also featured Whosoever South, Douglas’s own Derrick Flowers, and Daniel Johnson. Yesterday, however, promoter Outback Entertainment posted a statement on its Facebook page that the concert had been cancelled and refunds on advance ticket sales would begin to be distributed “in 2-3 business days.” The event had been controversial from the time the concert was announced. Many people familiar with Outback Entertainment did not believe the event would ever take place and a number…
I started doing endurance sports in 1997, primarily just local running races. A few years later, in 2001, I added a few more activities to my list of those in which I participated – standalone swim and bike races as well as triathlons and duathlons. The events themselves were fun and challenging. As is usually the case, what made the activities much more enjoyable were the people I met along the way. I became friends with a number of people whose paths I would have never crossed. In many instances, I forged lifelong friendships with my fellow competitors. One of…
“We like to talk about conservative things. I’ve always been one of those. I’ve been a business-minded person that believed government ought to run more like a business. You’re never going to get it to run like a business but you can apply business principles to it to make it run better and more efficiently. I believe in lower taxes, less regulation, public safety, and I believe in an education system that gives people choices and teaches kids to think for themselves instead of forcing opinions on them. We should let them be independent thinkers,” said Burt Jones, Georgia Lieutenant…

With Peighton Harper at the plate and Giddens at first and Abrah Harris…
Georgia Military College running back and former Coffee Trojan Tyrese Woodgett has been flirting with a breakout game since he joined the Bulldogs’ roster this year. Saturday, it happened. A week after scoring 94 points against Community Christian College, the Bulldogs defeated the Sussex County Community College Skylanders 84-12 in Milledgeville. And Woodgett was a big reason why. Woodgett has been a part of GMC’s 2025 campaign but he hasn’t had a day like he did on Saturday. The freshman rushed for 218 yards on 11 carries – a 19.8 yard per carry average – with three touchdowns. His longest…
It’s time for the Tyreek Hill – Miami Dolphins relationship to end. It hasn’t worked. It isn’t going to work. He wants out. Miami’s season is already teetering on disaster just two weeks in. Things haven’t gone well on the field and it’s been even worse off-the-field. Almost from day one, there have been problems. They only deteriorated from there. Several potential suitors exist, namely the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill is still an elite talent but that’s not going to be the case much longer. The years are going to catch up with him, just like…
