And in this case, the terms fit when it comes to Jayden Loving. During our season coverage, we get an opportunity to see the defensive lineman (number 8) as a key presence for the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons football team, including his sense of insight and perspective to help the team regroup after a

As we get closer to the primary season during this election year (2026), there are a number (and we do mean a number) of things taking place. Ranging from national, state, and local level, the races for office can get a little overwhelming, including getting a better idea as to the role, purpose, and importance of each office. When it comes to those who reside in Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and Midtown Atlanta, a race to pay closer attention to is for Fulton County Commission

One of the goals of the Atlanta Gladiators for this season (2025-26) is to return to the postseason. This goal is accomplished as the team is assured in playing for the Kelly Cup (the top 4 teams in each division make the playoffs/16 total teams make the playoffs) for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Atlanta has 11 games left in the regular season (they have played 61 of their 72 regular season games thus far) and are currently in 3rd place in the ECHL South (as the

The team has won 2 of the 3 games on their current homestand an

A number of great ideas started off small, and when people and entities come together for the greater good, good things can happen. In our recent conversation with McDonough Moms, what starts off as simply seeing a need and starting off with a meeting with maybe 2 or 3 people to grow to a network of close to 20,000 people shows what persistence and presence can look like when it comes to empowering mothers and their families. By the same token, an inspiration from family exp
