The South Georgia State College Hawks improved to 9-8 on the season after winning two games in Jacksonville. SGSC defeated Battle Creek, Michigan’s Kellogg Community College Bruins 3-1 in game one then bested the Florida State College-Jacksonville Manta Rays 6-2. Against the Bruins, third baseman Jesse Brown (sophomore, Stauton River High School, Virginia) provided most of the offense for SGSC. Brown homered twice – a two-run shot in the first inning and a solo homer in the fifth. In the first, Danny Vigille-grant (freshman, Tallulah Falls) singled with one out. Brown connected on the first pitch he saw and drove…

Last Wednesday, the Coffee Trojans topped the Glynn Academy Red Terrors in two of the three statistical categories on the box score. The Terrors, however, bested the Trojans in the only one that counts – the scoring column. Coffee outhit Glynn Academy 7-6. The Red Terrors made three errors to Coffee’s zero. But Glynn came away with a 5-2 win thanks in large part to a four-run third inning in which the Red Terrors scored all four runs with two outs. Glynn used a hit by pitch, a single, and three doubles to take a 4-0 lead. The Trojans scored…
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,…
