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.

Truck Series Driver Sworn In as Mayor Following 13th-Place Talladega Run

NASCAR already has its own ‘Mayor’ in Jeff Burton, but a Craftsman Truck Series driver has decided to take the job title quite seriously. Canadian racer Jason M.

Only this time around, he has a whole racing career to his name along with the mayoral hat. And for now, he isn’t willing to trade either of the two. With an active racing career and a municipality to serve, his journey from the tracks to the town hall isn’t a coincidence. NASCAR writer and ...
