Heading into his second year as Oxford’s boys soccer coach, Dwight McDonald wanted a commitment from within the program.
After the Yellow Jackets finished the 2012 season with an 11-12 record, McDonald started conditioning workouts in November, rather than the standard protocol of beginning in January. The plan was for the Yellow Jackets to build a better bond.

When Taylor West was 14 years old one of her goals was to be a dominant pitcher. Having made her fourth Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State team and being named Class 3A Pitcher of the Year for the second consecutive season, West was certainly dominant at Saks.

Judd Smith had the thought long before his family moved to the Wellborn community in 2009.
He was about to start the first of 49 varsity football games he played for his father and coach, Jeff Smith, and he wondered what he should call him on the field, in the locker room and during any football activity.
“I said, ‘I’ll tell you what to call me, call me dad. I’m your dad first, then I’m your coach,’” Jeff Smith said.

Although White Plains was able to overcome its mental mistakes against second-ranked Good Hope to pick up a win over Straughn on Friday afternoon in the first round of the elimination bracket of the Class 3A state tournament, it was unable to overcome similar mistakes against seventh-ranked Saks on Saturday morning, falling 7-2.

Taylor West’s last pitch for Saks High School didn’t close out another state championship. It didn’t even happen on a softball diamond.
It came minutes after seventh-ranked Saks committed nine errors in losing 6-0 to No. 5 Winfield in a state-tournament elimination game Saturday at Lagoon Park. This time, she spoke with her voice and not her right arm.
After making her way to the team huddle, with her left shoe on and right shoe off, she threw her team a riser.
“You all need to keep your heads up,” the senior told her now former teammates, piercing an awkward silence. “Nobody expected us to even be here.”
