Tyreek Hill’s Miami experiment has come to a screeching halt. Monday morning, the Dolphins released Hill, making him an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. The move wasn’t entirely a surprise. Had Miami kept him on the roster, Hill would have had $11 million in guaranteed money this month. Hill is 31 years old and coming off a disastrous 2025-2026 season that followed a disappointing 2024-2025 campaign. In that 2024 season, Hill had one of the worst statistical years of his career. He caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns. The Dolphins didn’t make…

On paper, it should have been an easy win for the Houston County Bears. Houston and the Coffee Trojans had played each other twice during the regular season and the Bears had won both games – by fairly large margins. Houston beat Coffee 76-60 on January 16 at the Trojans’ home gym. About three weeks later, on February 6, the Bears hosted the Trojans in Warner Robins. They weren’t very gracious hosts and sent Coffee back home with an 85-64 loss. But their third and final match-up was the region tournament and Coffee was playing again on their home court.…

The Coffee County Board of Commissioners continued to wrestle with what to do with rezoning properties along the Highway 32 West corridor at the February county commission meeting. The four-laning of 32 West has opened up that stretch of road to commercial interests. However, that section of road has historically been a residential area. And now, commercial interests and residential interests are coming into conflict with each other. The commission has had several such requests come before the board over the last several months. Some have been approved while others have not. Last week, commissioners voted on three more requests…
“I hope my story sends a message to anyone who has ever felt that their identity or any part of themselves was something to hide or fix. It isn’t. When I first moved back to the United States, I could barely speak English and struggled socially, and for a long time that made me feel out of place. But by putting myself out there, embracing my quirks and intricacies, and learning to value every part of who I am, those same experiences became a source of strength. I’ve learned to appreciate the flowers along the path to the mountain ahead,…

A short memory is a necessity for good baseball players. There isn’t enough time to worry, grovel, and cast doubt. There are too many games, too many opportunities. If something bad happens, you’ve got to put it behind you. After losing a 2-1 heartbreaker to the 6A Colquitt County Packers on Monday night, it would have been easy for the Coffee Trojans to feel sorry for themselves – especially given the way that game got away in the final inning. And, to be honest, things didn’t get much better when the Camden County Wildcats, another 6A program, came to town…
