This Monday gives us a couple of high school headlines:
Daily sports editor Mark Edwards weighs in on last week’s Morgan County basketball tournament here.
And in a game from Saturday, the Hatton High girls get another stellar performance from Jordan Johnson in a win over Mars Hill. The victory gives the Lady Hornets home-court advantage for the Class 2A, Area 16 tournament. Link.
Here’s a gem that will hopefully make your Monday more enjoyable.

This post is a little late, but forgive me. I spent all day on the golf course and have just now gotten caught up at the office.
RCR hopes you enjoyed this warm January day as well.
Now, for the headlines:
STANDING PAT IN TOURNEY: Brewer’s boys and girls get a pair of wins in the Morgan County Tournament.
FREE-THROW SHOOTER PROTECTS WIN: Hamilton seals Austin’s girls win. Boys win, too.
TAKING A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION: Decatur’s girls beat Florence.
TANNER MOVES TO LIMESTONE FINALS: Exactly what it sounds like.
Maybe today’s video fits into the “classic” mold a little better than the Alabama leprechaun tale.
