• A Guide for your 2026 First-Year Player Draft in Win-Now Mode (pitcherlist.com) — Trussville baseball fans have a new hometown name to watch: shortstop Steele Hall, a Cincinnati Reds first-round pick and top dynasty-league prospect. A speed-and-defense standout who grew up in Trussville, Hall is considered a long-term project unlikely to reach the majors before 2029 but could become a dangerous base-stealing threat. 
• Four outstanding graduates selected for UWA's top student award (uwa.edu) — A Trussville native, Grace Hall, has been named one of four top graduating students at the University of West Alabama, earning the prestigious Ralph M. Lyon Award for Academic Excellence. Hall completed a bachelor’s degree in early childhood and elementary education, sharing the honor with graduates from Tuscaloosa, Collinsville, and Greensboro.
