🌱 Bucs Beat Thompson + Hoover Burger Joint Named Top Comfort Food

Hello, friends! It's me, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Hoover Daily — back in your inbox with all the most important things happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 81 Low: 58.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Hoover who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Hoover Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Hoover today:

1. Hoover High School won the region title against Thompson, a higher-ranking team in the division, in a 9-0 shutout. The team will head to the Region 3 Championship in two weeks. The Bucs are winners of their last nine games this season with a strong defense going forward. The last shutout the team had against Thompson was six years ago. (Hoover Sun)
2. Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Dive in Hoover ranked number seven on TravelAwaits’ most recent delicious comfort food list. The recently-opened local dive is owned by two brothers and offers gourmet hamburger and hot dog options. Patrons can choose from over 10 American Wagyu beef entrées or build their own creations. (TravelAwaits)
3. Hoover’s population has increased by over one percent annually, making it one of Alabama’s largest cities. According to World Atlas, Hoover is the sixth largest city in Alabama with a population of just under 100,000. The fruitfulness of the city lies within the tourism and retail appeal, and perhaps most importantly, the scenery of the Appalachian Mountains. (Worldatlas.com)
