• LOCAL SPORTS: West Point's Camryn Faulkner named Athlete of the Week (cullmantimes.com) — West Point’s Camryn Faulkner earned Athlete of the Week honors after leading the Warriors to three wins, while players from Hanceville and other area schools also turned in big performances. Several Hanceville standouts, including Drake Bentley and Sam Abney, posted strong scoring nights that highlight how competitive local basketball is across Cullman County right now.
   

• Arrests and Incidents reported December 10, 2025 (cullmantribune.com) — Local law enforcement reported a quiet day for the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office, but Cullman Police listed several recent theft, harassment and domestic incidents, along with multiple arrests on warrants and other charges. The Hanceville Police Department’s activity is briefly noted as being reported through the sheriff’s office, so residents can still find Hanceville-related arrest information in the Tribune’s regular online reports.
