At this time a year ago, our feeling of normalcy tilted firmly toward trepidation of an unknown killer hitchhiking its way into our community — the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes, Covid-19, were arriving in the Loveliest Village.

e careful where you step. There are lots of rabbit holes out there, and they are not easy to spot.
You might say we're living by the numbers. Here's more on what I'm talking about.
The Lee-Scott Academy Warriors fell in a tough one last Friday 35-18 as they were not able to overcome Hooper Academy. Contact tracing and injuries saw the Warriors lose their quarterback and several other key positions, and while head coach Buster Daniel praised the play of his backups, ult…

With the prospect of high school football returning looking like a reality, at least for the near future, there is a lot of excitement over the return of the South’s beloved sport, and with that equally shared wariness over the safety and uncertainty that lies ahead.
This past week saw the high school football landscape take one step forward toward what is certain to be a season like no other.
In early May, Lee-Scott Academy announced that it had found its new head football coach in Buster Daniel. Daniel will be taking the reins after former head coach Robert Johnson left for the same position at his alma mater, Montgomery Academy.

Both Auburn High and Lee-Scott will hit the road on Friday for crucial games against region foes that have huge implications for the playoffs.
