Moore defeats Carl in GOP member-on-member race in Alabama


Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) has won the Republican nomination for the House seat representing Alabama’s 1st Congressional District, defeating fellow incumbent Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Ala.), Decision Desk HQ projects. 

Carl and Moore were set up to face each other in Carl’s home district after Alabama’s congressional lines were redrawn to make Moore’s 2nd Congressional District predominantly Black and a likely Democratic pickup.  

One poll from Auburn University taken late last month showed Carl ahead of Moore by 8 points, 43 percent to 35 percent, but with 22 percent undecided. 

Moore will likely win the seat against his Democratic opponent in November in the strongly conservative-leaning district.

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.
