Wednesday night in Birmingham, Alabama, coach Nick Saban accused Texas A&M of “buying” its top-ranked signing class and spotlighted the unintended effect of name, image, and likeness rights on recruiting during an event with local business leaders Wednesday night in Birmingham.

Wednesday, softball’s Regional Semi-Finals got underway. Mt Vernon’s Alexa Taylor had two three-up, three-down innings, nine Ks, and gave up four hits in the Lady Tiger’s 2-0 Game 1 win over Grandview Wednesday night. At the top of the first, Summer Rogers started the scoring with a home run over the left-center. Kamryn Bolin was on with a double in the top of the second, and Dailey Ross’ double sent Bolin in for the game’s only two runs. Grandview’s Caydin Blackmond gave up two runs on seven hits, one walk, and had eight Ks. The winner will play either Hughes Springs or Prairiland next week.
