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

Food for Fines offers relief for late fees, food insecurity

Patrons with late fees on library books can knock money off their fines by donating nonperishable food items through Dec. 19. The Sara Hightower Regional Library System is holding its annual Food for Fines program, giving library users the opportunity to reduce late fees while also supporting relief from food insecurity in the community. “It is a very successful program, and that’s why we’ve continued to offer it each year because it is something that people appreciate the opportunity to participate in,” said Amelia Blackmon, branch services and outreach manager for the library system. For every non-perishable item brought in through Dec. 19, patrons will receive $2 off their late fee, up to $20 in forgiveness for each account on the library card, Blackmon said. The food items must be non-perishable. Any perishable items, expired or past-sell-by-date items or homemade items will not be accepted, she said. The donations collected at the Rome-Floyd County Library will go to the Rome-Floyd County Community Kitchen, she said. “It is something that we try to do every year because food insecurity is a huge problem right now in our current economic climate,” Blackmon said. “And especially now that we’re coming up on the
