Alabama Softball Opens the SEC Tournament Against the LSU Tigers


The Alabama Crimson Tide softball program earned the ninth seed in the upcoming Southeastern Conference Tournament after losing the season finale series to the Auburn Tigers. Alabama finishes the year 33-16 but was only able to muster a 10-14 conference record.

The Crimson Tide will play in the opening game on Wednesday against the eighth-seeded LSU Tigers at 10 a.m. CT at the Auburn’s Jane B. Moore Field.. The game will be televised on the SEC Network.

Wednesday’s meeting will be the first meeting of the season between Alabama and LSU as the programs weren’t on each other’s regular season schedule. The Tigers turned in a 38-14 record and went 12-12 in the SEC. The Bayou Bengals were an impressive 28-7 at home this season but was just .500 on the road, proving how difficult it is to win on the road in the SEC.

Alabama is going for its seventh SEC tournament title emerging victorious in 1998, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2022.

The winner of Alabama and LSU’s matchup will advance to the quarterfinals where they’ll face No. 1 seed Tennessee on Thursday at 10 a.m. CT. The tournament opens on Tuesday with 12-seeded Kentucky taking on 13-seeded Ole Miss at 6 p.m. CT.

Alabama hits home with plans for Tuscaloosa 2027 Edge on official visit




Alabama football hosted a hometown kid for an official visit last weekend when it got Jeremiah Beverley on campus for an official visit.

Beverley attends Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and ESPN currently has him rated as a four-star recruit. He is considering Alabama, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and others.

The Crimson Tide offered Beverley earlier this month and got him on campus for an official visit last weekend. The Alabama target told Touchdown Alabama he used the visit to learn what the Tide has planned for him if he commits.

“I’m truly happy that I went on that official visit,” Beverley said. “Blessed for that. All I was talking about was the next step, what I got to do? So, just knowing what they have planned for me, knowing what they have set for me.”

At 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds, Beverley makes plays for Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa as a defensive end. Alabama has plans to use him similarly at the next level.

“They’re going to have me at wolf mostly,” Beverley said. “I know coach (Kane) Wommack and coach (Christian) Robinson, I think they see me at other positions, but I know it is guaranteed they’re going to see me at Wolf and me working my way up on special teams, and they expect that out of me.”

Beverley is expected to announce a commitment decision on Friday.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
