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 gulfcoastmedia.com/stories/tâŚ

How do people who donât enjoy sports experience emotions like these? Asking for me. Like do people get this fired up over art or music or cars orâŚ? 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: âthatâs why the rear view mirror is so small compared to the windshield.â

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 gulfcoastmedia.com/stories/fâŚ

Just a reminder @JalenMilroe has been that dude. When our Sports Editor @CMac217 worked in Texas, he was at Tompkins' upset of the nationally-ranked Katy Tigers that snapped a 75-game district winning streak. Only getting warmed up for the Crimson Tide. #TXHSFB

10 years ago, 8-year-old Martin Richard was among the three killed in the Boston Marathon bombing.
His friends from their Boston neighborhood will honor his memory by running together in the race on Monday.
