(1/3) Today, I begin my role as a staff writer with the Shelby Co. Reporter, my first full-time position after graduating from Auburn in May. I'm excited to join one of Alabama's most well-respected news organizations. Thank you to Alec Etheredge SCR for the opportunity.

Our newsroom just got bigger and better today! Thrilled to welcome Daniel Locke to the Shelby County Reporter team. Make sure to give him a follow as he'll contribute to our sports coverage in the coming months. The Auburn grads are starting to multiply around here.

Happy to have Daniel join our team. Another great addition who will continue to help our sports and news coverage improve and reach new levels.

David DiPiazza was board-approved to become the new Vestavia Hills boys soccer coach after a successful run at Oak Mountain that saw the Eagles win the 2024 state title and break the state record for most matches without a loss. Story: shelbycountyreporter.com/2025/06/03/dav…

Heard schools were coming after him and no surprise he takes a job that keeps him in this area with the resources Vestavia has to offer. Now, who takes over the powerhouse of Oak Mountain? The talent along the 119/280 corridor is too powerful to ignore.

No way to set the tone for a soccer camp scrimmage like international walkouts to the Fergie national anthem. Helena Soccer Camp was electric today.

Congrats to Wyatt Williams on earning this honor. A stellar season at the plate for the Thompson junior and Alabama commit. Not the last we'll hear of this name.

Definitely the right decision to let these two share this tremendous honor this year. Two of the best pitchers in the state this year and they were right here in Shelby County. These two were huge reasons both competed for a state championship.

If you haven't seen it already, the 2025 All-County baseball team is here. Andrew spent a lot of time working on this and put together a great group to celebrate a historic season in Shelby County.
