Step-by-Step: How Statesboro's Willie McTell statue came to be
Statesboro is a town full of history, especially if you know where to look for it. One such slice of history is in the physical recreation of a man named Willie McTell , whose statue sits peacefully on a bench, playing his guitar in front of the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau on S. Main St. After learning to play the 12 string guitar in 1920s Statesboro, "Blind Willie", as he was often referred to, went on to perform across Georgia for many years. His song “Statesboro Blues” became his most famous song, which was later covered by other musicians like Taj Mahal and the Allman Brothers Band, further spreading its fame. Statesboro professor Marc Moulton used his expertise in sculpting to create a cast bronze statue of the historical figure back in 2018, and now we have Moulton’s step by step process of how the statue came to be. Here was his process from beginning to end, according to Moulton himself. Step 1: Model Willie The very first step is to develop a digital 3D model that could be further refined to a likeness of Willie. Marc shared that he used photogrammetry, the extracting of 3D measurements and digital

'Quality food and exceptional value': Parker's Kitchen talks new Guyton store
Parker's Kitchen is building a new facility on 2.5 acres on Central Boulevard in Guyton. The original store, built in 2007, was demolished in September. Parker's Kitchen says, upon completion, patrons can continue to enjoy an array of food items on the award-winning menu, indoor dining and more than 50 parking spaces. "The new Parker's Kitchen location will feature our newest store format, spanning 6,344 square feet and blending the signature Lowcountry architecture our customers have come to know and love with the high-quality food and exceptional value they have come to expect," said Amanda Thompson, vice president of real estate at Parker's Kitchen. Earlier this year, Thompson explained why the nearly 20-year-old facility needed replacement. “The current store no longer meets our brand standards, and the acquisition of adjacent property enables construction of a new site that better supports our best-in-class offerings and reflects our latest A+ prototype,” said Thompson. A spokesperson for Parker's Kitchen told the Savannah Morning News that the new facility is expected to open in 2027.

Clarke Central football advances, South Effingham eliminated from playoffs
ATHENS — Clarke Central head coach David Perno has never been in a situation where the offense has gone that long without touching the ball. South Effingham managed to string together several massive drives to eat up the clock, but their offensive front could not overpower the Gladiator shield, and the Mustangs fell 28-20 in the first round of the GHSA Class 6A state playoffs. "We had to make a big stop," Perno said. "Offense played good. We moved the ball. We were three for three in the first half. And we knew that drive, right before the half, kind of kept them in it. "I give credit to them. Got to tip your hat. They converted five or six third downs on that drive, ate up the whole second quarter and scored, and then got it coming out and made another long drive. That was bizarre." Clarke Central senior running back Tino Rangel, who transferred in this season from Hart County, got the scoring started for the Red and Gold on a 10-yard sprint with 9:24 remaining in the first quarter. He added his second touchdown on a goal line jump two minutes and 20 seconds later, securing a
