For nearly 10 years, 78-year-old Charlie Hicks had been part of the daily rhythm at the Shrimp Basket in Pensacola, Florida. He came in twice a day, for lunch and dinner, and almost always ordered the same thing. A cup of gumbo with a little rice and no crackers. The staff knew him so well they called him Mr. Hicks and even celebrated his birthday with him. Then, in September 2025, his usual seat stayed empty. At first, Charlie told the staff he was sick. They began bringing his gumbo to his apartment and leaving it outside for him. But when they suddenly couldn't reach him at all, longtime cook Donell Stallworth became worried. Donell drove to Charlie's home and knocked. There was no answer. Then he heard a faint voice from inside asking for help. Charlie was on the floor, unable to get up. He was severely dehydrated and had two broken ribs. Donell stayed with him while another staff member called 911, and Charlie was taken to the hospital. He spent about a week there before continuing his recovery in rehabilitation. But the people from the Shrimp Basket didn't consider their job finished. They visited him, brought him his familiar gumbo and later helped him settle into an apartment close to the restaurant. The restaurant also gave him free gumbo for life. Charlie had walked through those doors thousands of times simply looking for a meal. In the end, being remembered when he didn't walk through them may have saved his life.

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

As America approaches its 250th birthday, may we never forget the source of our blessings. It was an honor to offer this prayer at the Rededicate America 250 gathering. Join me in praying for our nation, our leaders, our families, and the generations yet to come. God bless America. 🇺🇸🙏🏽 #America250 #Rededicate250 #PrayerForAmerica #FaithAndFreedom #AlvedaKing

Highly Rated 4⭐️ Georgia OT Commit Kelsey Adams Official Photoshoot at LSU 🐯 “what’s the move? 🐯”

MIKAYLAH WILLIAMS YOU ARE UNREAL 🗣️ TEAM USA WINS GOLD 🥇 (🎥: @FIBA3x3)

BOOMM!! Tulane lands a commitment from 3🌟WR Ray’Quan Williams. Ray’Quan chose Tulane over offers from LSU, Florida, Texas, and many others. He is an elite deep-threat receiver with game-breaking speed and the ability to win 50/50 balls. A big-time addition for the Green Wave.

🚨Tulane Green Wave Commit🚨 Class of 27 RB Peyton Perkins-@PPerkins_12 6-1/190 Eupora, MS Peyton Perkins put up video-game numbers as a junior for small-school Eupora: 4.47 Forty • Rushing: 2,000 yards in roughly 10 games (200 yards per game) • Passing: 650–670 yards, 8 TDs, low interception rate • Career totals (through junior year): 3,822 rushing yards, 1,803 passing yards, 72 total touchdowns, 5,625 all-purpose yards He earned 2nd Team All-State honors (Class 2A) on offense and was one of the most productive players in Mississippi regardless of classification. Multiple recruiting analysts have called him out as a “sleeper” and “one to watch” because the production is real despite the small-school competition level. Film Evaluation: RB Lens While Perkins plays quarterback for Eupora, his running ability is his clear carrying trait and why he profiles as a running back at the next level. Here’s the breakdown: • Explosive burst & long speed: Sub-4.6 40 shows up on film. He hits the hole with sudden acceleration and has legitimate home-run speed once he gets to the second level. • Vision & elusiveness: Shows good feel for cutback lanes and can make defenders miss in space. Not just a straight-line runner, he has shake and lateral quickness. • Contact balance & toughness: Described as “tough to bring down.” He runs with low pad level, keeps his legs churning, and falls forward. Strong lower body (evident in his squat/clean numbers). • Big-play threat: Averaging 200 rushing yards per game in Class 2A isn’t fluky, he consistently breaks long runs. • Versatility: Dual-threat ability adds value. Can be used on RPOs, designed runs, wildcat, or even as a receiving threat out of the backfield. Also has defensive experience at CB, showing football IQ and athletic range. • Competitive toughness: Plays with juice and leadership. Teammates and coaches rave about him.
