Confident Collinsville football team completes upset over Piedmont

PIEDMONT — The Collinsville football team came down to Piedmont knowing there was one way it would be heading home. Victorious. It didn't matter that the Panthers (10-2) were going up against one of the best teams in 2A this year, and a squad that has played in the semifinals of Class 3A the past two seasons. Panthers coach Ernie Willingham already had his plans set to head to Montgomery for another playoff meeting on Saturday morning. "We believed we could win," Willingham said. "We believe we can win, we came over here with that. We're going to play as hard as we could and see what happened." Well on Friday, Nov. 13, the Panthers proved coach right as Uriel Cornejo nailed a game-winning, 22-yard field goal as time expired for the 17-14 upset win over the 1-seeded Bulldogs. Not many picked Collinsville to continue their postseason run into the third round. Some predictions have them as many as 28- or 35-point underdogs, something the players were aware of and mentioned throughout the game. The players had heard the talk, but instead of putting them down, it had the reverse effect Friday night. "We heard it so many times, but

Pet of the Week: Boss just wants someone to spend time with

CULLMAN, Ala. – Time in the yard is one of Boss’ favorite parts of the day, especially when someone he knows is there with him. Shelter life has been hard on this easygoing dog and a familiar face brings him comfort. Boss, The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week, is a Feist mix who is about 4 years old. He has a low energy level and a fondness for a little goat cheese now and then. More than a treat, though, what Boss wants is time with his person. For someone who enjoys quiet company, a visit with Boss at the Cullman County Animal Shelter could start with a simple question for the staff: could you spend a little time together in his favorite spot? Boss’ adoption fee is $130 and includes neutering, vaccinations and microchipping. Visit the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 935 Convent Road NE. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Contact the shelter at 256-734-5448 or cullmananimalshelter@co.cullman.al.us . Has Boss already been adopted? Don’t worry!
