Not surprisingly, Tennessee won.
The No. 4 Volunteers belted out 12 hits and drew a whopping 13 walks in a 20-2 decimation that was called after seven innings. Tennessee improved to 27-6 heading into this weekend’s visit from reigning national champion LSU, while Alabama A&M dropped to 5-26.
Tennessee has now scored 51 runs in its last three games, which were all run-rule victories.
“We thought this was a pretty good group, but I don’t think you jump ahead and try to predict numbers,” Tennessee coach Tony Vitello said after the rout when asked about his offense. “I think we knew we would be able to hit, but I think the thing that’s nice is that the depth has stayed there.
The story of Willy Wilcox begins with his mom. Kim Wilcox won over 50 tournaments as a junior golfer, was a four-year letter winner at Auburn, and finished runner-up in the 1988 Alabama State Women’s Amateur Championship. She had aspirations of joining the LPGA Tour, but life intervened. In the late 1980s, she had Willy, and by 1991, she became the club manager and golf pro at the now-defunct Pine Harbor Golf and Racquet Club in Pell City, Alabama.
PRATTVILLE, Ala. (WSFA) – Maggie Kervin has a passion for the theater. She started as a little girl and loved it ever since.
“I went to Prattville Christian Academy and got my start in theater there,” said Kervin.
After graduating from high school, she got a job, but noticed something was missing in her community. So, she started the Alabama Children’s Theatre. Keep in mind she’s just 19 years old.

“There’s just not a lot of opportunities for kids in theater. I really wanted to provide that opportunity.”

Two years ago, she had $50 in her pocket and a dream. Now things are picking up steam and she’s enjoying the ride. This is for kids between the ages of five and 18. Right now, they’re working on Annie Jr.
“We’ve had so many kids why are shy and timid the first time they are one stage. When it’s their third or fourth time, they are very different.”
It’s different for her too. She’s used to being the one up on stage. Now she’s behind the computer, with them for every word, in every song.

“I didn’t think I’d ever be in the position of running my own theater.”
The reward for Maggie, getting to see her always improving stars, continue to shine.
“It’s just so exciting to see them put the hard work into something and watch it blossom. They are so excited and so dedicated.”

Last year, Alabama Shakes returned with “Another Life,” their first original track in 10 years. Now they’ve followed it up with a protest song titled “American Dream.” Brittany Howard’s lyrics reference gun violence, abortion rights, climate change, the wage gap, and President Donald J. Trump’s White House renovations. Take a listen below.
In a press statement, Howard described “American Dream” as “a snapshot of what we’re living through in 2026.” She continued, “I look around and wonder how we got to a place where there’s so much strain and so little support. I mean, it shouldn’t be impossible to take off work so you can bring your child to the doctor—that’s actually insane. My hope is that one day people will hear this song and say, ‘Yeah, shit was crazy back then, but we made it through.’”
Alabama Shakes’ last album was 2015’s Sound & Color. Next week, the trio of Howard, Heath Fogg, and Zac Cockrell kick off a North American tour that runs through mid-June. They’ll then play shows in Europe and the United Kingdom in July.
Revisit the review of Howard’s 2024 solo album What Now.
