The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2026/03/13

Back when I was a kid, most children spent their time outside playing. That was just how childhood worked in those days. There were no computers, and sitting inside watching television was rarely allowed — especially on days when my mom had just mopped and waxed the floors. One afternoon when I was about 10 or 11 years old, that reality led to an adventure I have never forgotten. A neighbor near our house had about 40 to 50 acres of land. Back in the woods was a trail we proudly called the bi...

Jackson girls' great run ends

2026/03/13

BIRMINGHAM — No. 1-ranked Plainview didn’t need much from the nation’s all-time three-point artist. Instead, the Bears shattered Jackson early with a full-court press that made the Aggies feel as if they were walking barefoot on broken glass and razor blades. Junior guard Sawyer Kate Hulgan — who set the national record for career three-pointers in January with 589 triples — scored 23 points in just 15 minutes, most of them the old-fashioned way, and Jackson had as many points as turnovers in...

Talking to the plants again

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2026/03/13

This is my first post of the season from the table on my upstairs front porch. I hear the birds singing. I walked around the yard this morning and saw some of my favorite plants starting to bud out. I was afraid some of them might have become victims of the deep freezing cold we had this winter, but they survived. Spring is really arriving. I wore shorts and a T-shirt a couple of days last week. I decided to begin changing out my summer and winter clothes. I store whichever ones are out of se...

State races begin

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2026/03/11

The 2026 state races have officially begun. Qualifying ended Jan. 23, and it will now be less than a three-month sprint to the finish line. The May 19 Republican primary will essentially be election day, because winning the GOP primary is often tantamount to election in the Heart of Dixie. The governor’s race will likely not be one of the more competitive contests. Coach Tommy Tuberville appears headed for a relatively easy path to the governor’s office. He has been running for more than...
