North Augusta wrestler signs with Newberry College
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – North Augusta’s Nick Moore put pen to paper Sunday signing to wrestle for the Newberry Wolves.
Moore has been wrestling with the Jackets since he was an eighth grader. “We have several other kids who feel like they have to work as hard as Nick does to achieve what Nick is gonna achieve. And so by doing that by working hard, it rubs off and sets a great example for how hard he works. And by working hard, good things come,” said head coach Matt Franklin.
His hard work paid off this season. Moore finished as the Upper State Champion in Class AAAA, he placed second at the state meet.
“Everybody knew the senior season was coming for me there was expecting a good outcome. I had a decent one. Proud, not satisfied. Now I got another year coming up. And just doing this just tells everybody that like my chapter is not over,” said Moore.
The wrestler was surrounded by family, coaches and teammates as he became one of the first to sign to play at the next level for the Jackets.
“He’s my only one so I put my heart and soul in what he puts his into. He’s done great with his grades. He’s maintained two-a-days, either two practices or working out in practice or double workouts. He’s worked his butt off to get here. And I’m excited about his journey,” said his mother, Brittany Cawley.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The historic Turpin neighborhood will soon welcome more affordable homes after Augusta Habitat for Humanity was awarded $1.85 million in federal funding this week.
The grant will fund the construction of at least 12 homes in the area.
“Habitat for Humanity applied for federal funding, and they were awarded the funding,” said District 2 Commissioner Stacy Pulliam.
Reviving a historic community
The Turpin neighborhood was once home to professionals, including educators, doctors, and lawyers.
“These big professionals that lived mostly over this way,” one resident said of the neighborhood’s history.
Pulliam described the area’s former prominence as “its grand days of glory, when it was the place.”
The project brings together city organizers and community partners through the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, or GICH.
“We have so many partners. We have the Housing Authority on board. We have a representative from the Hub on board,” Pulliam said. “There’s so many great partners at the table that’s helping pull all of this together.”
Federal support and future plans
The project received backing from Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Habitat for Humanity, with support from GICH, focused its application on Turpin Hill intentionally, as officials say the community had been needing to be addressed for years.
With Habitat for Humanity continuing to advocate for more funds, Pulliam said their motivation could lead to additional housing development in the future.
“We keep going and going and going,” she said. “Now we can do 20. Now we can do multifamily. So it’s fueling our fire to get more housing, but not just housing, to clean up the area.”
