CULLMAN, Ala. – Belinda Bagwell was crowned 2026 Ms. Senior Cullman County, while Bonnie Sawyer took the 2026 Ms. Super Senior Cullman County crown Saturday, Nov. 7. The pageant was held in the Fairview High School auditorium. The pageant was open to “super seniors,” aged 70-79 and “seniors,” aged 60-69. Pageant Director Gidget Gregory said the sisterhood was definitely evident this year. “It was actually overheard backstage, one saying, ‘I hope she wins,’” Gregory said. “They all loved the American theme, with the touch of Dolly Parton added to it.” The ladies were scored in the categories of interview, fun fashion, active wear, evening gown and on-stage question. “There were five ladies competing in the Ms. Senior Cullman County division and three ladies competing in the Ms. Super Senior Cullman County division,” Gregory said. “We are so excited for the things to come. We plan to rest a few days and then get back at again with prepping with the new queens for state.” The pageant was founded by the late Betty Leeth Haynes.

Instead of fading, Hoover went 25-11, won two games at the Northeast Regional, beat Fairhope in the state semifinals and played Tuscaloosa County for a fourth consecutive title before falling 65-54.

Gadsden City football ending 2026 season with hope for what's ahead

TRUSSVILLE — Sam Sollie and Dylan Perry did about all they could do in Gadsden City football's attempt to pull off a surprise win over Hewitt-Trussville to open the AHSAA playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6. The Titans raced out to an 11-point lead in the second quarter, as Sollie threw for two scores and the Titan defense was able to force back-to-back interceptions to set up the scoring drives. The Titans took a 4-point lead into the half as thoughts of an upset started to go through the visitor sideline. The second half saw a shootout ensue, with Sollie finding Perry on three touchdowns, from 59, 54 and 29 yards out but ultimately Jack Floyd was able to lift the Huskies to a 38-35 win with a three-touchdown night of his own. Sollie threw for 274 yards, 166 of those to Perry as the defense forced three turnovers. "We missed a lot of opportunities tonight," Gadsden City coach Ali Smith said. "I felt like we left a lot of points out there. We missed a lot of tackles, but its things we can build on. Pretty much everyone on the offense and defensive side will be back next year." The
