Tide Roll over Georgia 90-69
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – The 4th ranked Alabama Men’s Basketball team extended its winning streak to five straight with a convincing 90-69 over Georgia in front of a sold out crowd inside Coleman Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
Mark Sears collected his 13th game of 20 or more points this season, as he led the The Crimson Tide (19-3, 8-1 SEC) with a game high 20 points to go along with six assists and five boards. Grant Nelson secured his team-leading sixth double-double in the win, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds and a career high five blocks. Aiden Sherrell (12), Aden Holloway (10) and Chris Youngblood (10) also scored in double figures in the victory.
Georgia (15-7, 3-6 SEC) was led by Asa Newell, who scored 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting, to go along with seven rebounds.
“Unbelievable effort from our guys, really the effort we’ve been looking for outside of the start to the second half. You take that four minutes out, which I wasn’t really happy with that effort, but the other 36 minutes, I thought we played really hard,” Alabama Head Coach Nate Oats said postgame.
“Outrebounded a really good team by 16 and still scored 20 even though we had 20 turnovers. Now, we’ve got to fix the turnovers. Obviously, it’s a major problem, and 12 of those 20 were from three of our fifth-year seniors, which shouldn’t be the case, but I thought those guys kind of set the tone.”

ATLANTA – The FBI has asked field offices across the country to assign more than 200 employees to help with its investigation into the handling of the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
The memo directs the agency to “surge” 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists to the effort, describing it as a “priority investigation.” It instructs each employee to review about 708 records by July 17.

While the memo does not specify the investigation, people familiar with the matter confirmed to the AP that the additional personnel are being assigned to the ongoing investigation involving Georgia’s 2020 election. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal FBI operations.
Investigation continues
The backstory:
In January, FBI agents seized hundreds of boxes containing ballots and other election-related records from Fulton County, Georgia’s most populous county and home to most of the city of Atlanta.
A spokesperson for Fulton County declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
The Justice Department has previously said it is investigating “irregularities that occurred during the 2020 presidential election” in Fulton County.
What they’re saying:
President Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly claimed fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Courts and election officials found no evidence of widespread fraud that would have changed the results.
Georgia’s presidential ballots were counted three times, including a full hand recount, with each count confirming Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

As we approach the nation’s 250th birthday, the weather looks to cooperate for the most part. However, there is one thing that will be certain, it will be hot.
For most of the day, skies look to be partly cloudy with a small chance to see some pop-up showers or storms. If they are to appear, they will likely be short lived. The chance for rain will also dwindle as the sun goes down.
The big story will be the heat.
Butts, Jasper, Putnam, and Hancock counties are under a Heat Advisory until July 4th at 8 PM.
This means that heat index values could reach 105 degrees or above.
Even if you’re not included in a Heat Advisory, it will be hot.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST 10 AM
The heat index values, or the feels like temperatures, around 10 AM are forecasted to already be in the low 90’s.
FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST 4 PM
By the time we make it to the peak heating of the day, the feels like temperatures are forecasted to be in the low 100’s.

When it’s time to shoot off fireworks, it’s forecasted to still feel like the low 90’s to the upper 80’s.
HEAT RISK FOR MIDDLE GEORGIA
Most of Middle Georgia is under a major risk for heat risks on Saturday. This means that you should take plenty of breaks and drink plenty of water. Also make sure to listen to your body.
If you plan on traveling up to Atlanta, they will be an even higher risk, an extreme risk.
Overall, it will be a very hot day with a small chance to see some rain and storms.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Georgia Department of Driver Services urges residents to add an emergency contact to their driver’s license record, saying the update takes two minutes and costs nothing.
The agency said the information becomes immediately accessible to police and medical teams through their systems—a critical advantage if a driver is unconscious, or if their phone is locked or broken following a crash.
No new physical license is required, officials said. Drivers can complete the update online through the DDS website at no charge. Visit the website here for more details.
Officials said the update is especially important for people with medical conditions or memory loss who may not be able to communicate during an emergency.
