Alabama Soccer Coach Wes Hart Collects 100th Career Victory: Roll Call, August 26, 2024
Alabama soccer coach Wes Hart, who has led the Crimson Tide to each of the past three NCAA Tournaments and a Women’s College Cup berth in 2022, achieved the 100-win milestone on Sunday. With his team’s 4-0 blanking of the Chattanooga Mocs, Hart cemented the feat in his 10th season.
The former Major League Soccer player has turned around the Alabama program since taking over for Todd Bramble ahead of the 2015 campaign. He’s come a long way from that season’s match against Troy, his first win as a head coach. Hart was previously an assistant at Florida State, which won a national title the year prior to his arrival in Tuscaloosa.
In 2024, the Crimson Tide holds an overall mark of 3-1-0, winning three matches in a row following a defeat in the season opener against TCU. Up to this point, the team has played only one of its contests at home.

Memorial Gymnasium can be a difficult place to play for a road team at times, and it will likely be challenging for the Crimson Tide on Wednesday night, especially with the undefeated Commodores on the opposite end of the floor.

Alabama Farmers Federation endorses Kristin Nelson for House District 38
The Alabama Farmers Federation has endorsed Kristin Nelson in the upcoming special election for Alabama House District 38, a seat left vacant following the resignation of Rep. Debbie Wood (R-Valley). The district includes portions of Chambers and Lee counties.
Nelson recently secured the Republican nomination after winning a runoff election. The special general election is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3.
“Kristin Nelson is a well-respected community leader in Chambers County, and we are proud to endorse her,” said Jason McKay, president of the Chambers County Farmers Federation. “We know she will represent us well in Montgomery and ensure District 38 gets the attention it needs in the business and agricultural arenas.”
Support for Nelson’s candidacy also came from farmers in neighboring Lee County. “Kristin Nelson is a strong conservative with incredible knowledge of House District 38,” said Robert Walters, president of the Lee County Farmers Federation. “There is no doubt she will work hard and represent the people of Lee and Chambers counties well in the Legislature.”
Nelson grew up along the Chambers-Lee county line and brings experience from both the public and private sectors. Her background includes seven years in city administration with the City of Valley and three years as a third-grade teacher with Lanett City Schools.
She has also been active in homeschooling through Classical Conversations, where she has served as both a tutor and a local representative supporting other families.
In addition to returning to part-time work with Harris Gray LLC, Nelson serves as worship leader at Fairfax Methodist Church, secretary of the Junior Variety Club and president of the EAMC Lanier Auxiliary Board.
She also founded the Chambers County Young Republicans and currently serves as the chair of the Chambers County Republican Party.
“The farmers of this district and I share the same strong work ethic and conservative values,” said Nelson. “It is an honor to have their support and to be able to represent them and all the people of this district in Montgomery.”
Nelson and her husband, Jeff, live in the Huguley community with their two teenage sons.
The Alabama Farmers Federation is the state’s largest farm organization, representing more than 360,000 member families. The organization uses a grassroots endorsement process that relies on decisions made by county Farmers Federation boards of directors in local elections.
