a decisive Game 3 would be played on Saturday at 1 p.m. we didn’t start Game 1 until 6:40 and Game 2 started after 9 p.m. I’m sure they’re going to bring a ton of people from Madison down here You’ve got to appreciate it because I know Bob Jones has been on a significant run the last several years but you also have to take some time and enjoy it.” Hewitt-Trussville advanced to the second round with a sweep of Sparkman while Bob Jones claimed the series with a thrilling Game 3 victory over Thompson to advance The Patriots were down by 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh but used a 3-run homer from Tanner Hermesch and a walk-off solo shot from Myles Hammonds to escape with a victory With the “unbelievable” series against the Warriors under the team’s belt Bob Jones coach Jared Smith anticipates another great one for the state in a matchup against an ultra-talented Hewitt-Trussville squad it’s something our kids will remember for a while just being able to play in this type of environment and it’s going to be a tough place to play,” Smith said “There’s going to be a lot of neutral fans that just want to come see some really good baseball there’s already 15 signed seniors on both teams combined Fifteen college-level players and that’s not even counting the underclassmen on either team that are college-level guys.” Among some of the heavy-hitting senior prospects set to take the field for Bob Jones are Hammonds standout right fielder Dillon Adkins and Shelton State signee Tanner Hermesch Steele Hall — a projected first-round pick in the MLB Draft — leads a Hewitt-Trussville squad that also includes a duo of UAB pitching signees in righty Christian Helmers and lefty Jacob Francis Mauldin said the talent on the field can’t go unstated especially in a season where so many quality teams remain in the Class 7A playoffs but you can flip that and nothing be different,” Mauldin said “They’re one of the best teams in our state I’m not sure about how they break down seniors but I know they’ve got a lot of college-level kids This will be the first matchup of the season between the two teams with the added factor of unfamiliarity playing a factor in preparation ahead of the matchup we watched a ton of film called a lot of coaches,” Smith said you can find a lot of people on Twitter and social media “They’re a really well-coached team that plays really and then they’ve got a couple of good arms behind him No doubt that those guys have been throwing strikes and they play elite defense they’ll score four or five runs and then they shut the team out more times than they don’t.” with Mauldin saying that accommodations will be made to the ballpark as the fans for the second-round series look to add up both coaches are confident that the series will provide some great baseball and an incredible display of talent “It’s really neat this series is getting a lot of notice,” he said “We get a lot of media requests for the weekend but I think it’s been a great crowd and a great atmosphere and I think baseball has been pretty big here for a while more people outside of moms and dads and grandparents are having an interest and our community does a great job of supporting our teams that advance our girls basketball;

The Carrington development has seen about 1000 new homes added since around 2010 The Alabama Department of Transportation reported that sections of Highway 11 in Trussville see approximately 10,000 drivers each day found that much of this traffic occurs in the morning with an average of 400 vehicles coming from the Carrington Drive intersection alone A nearby elementary school is considered a major factor contributing to the heavy traffic The plan is to build another elementary school close to this same roadway Choat says this improvement project should support those plans we also tied it into a new elementary school that we had planned for the Glendale Farm areas It will be the first step of two I hope will be another intersection when we get our school built further out of US 11." The proposed new elementary school was dependent on a property tax vote that failed last year Mayor Choat said the city is working to build its general funds to make the school a reality The city plans to contribute close to $300,000 for the improvements on US 11 there is no scheduled date for when construction will begin Stephen grew up in Trussville and was an Eagle Scout He was a graduate of Hewitt-Trussville High School; he also graduated from University of Montevallo and University of Alabama Birmingham He was a mental health counselor and loved being able to help people Stephen attended First Baptist Church of Trussville and Church of the Highlands Grants Mill He loved spending time with his friends and family He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ralph and Martha Sullivan and Jack and Lena Mae Long Stephen is survived by his wife Sharon Long; three daughters Visitation will be at Church of the Highlands Grants Mill on Monday The funeral service will be at the church at 12:00 pm with Rev Burial will follow at Jefferson Memorial Gardens in Trussville Honorary pallbearers are the Eternal Entrepreneurs small group please make donations to the Birmingham Crisis Center for Suicide Prevention or The Stephen Long Memorial Children's College Fund at First Baptist Church Trussville Since Hall’s Motor Sports in Trussville relocated its former home on South Chalkville Road has remained empty Alabama-based general contractor Seay Construction proposed a plan for the space which Trussville City Council will vote on Tuesday night 6345 South Chalkville Road housed Hall’s Motor Sports until June 2024 when the company relocated to Roosevelt Boulevard The now-vacant 35,500-square-foot building is begging for a new tenant and Seay Construction wants to bring retail According to the Trussville Tribune Seay Construction believes the development could produce $13 million in taxable income per year the city would give up two-thirds of the sales tax revenue generated by businesses in the development for the next 10 years The city also agrees to waive all permit fees and the plan shows an extra entertainment area and outdoor dining spot projected to open in 2026 Check out more businesses recently opened in Trussville: What do you think about “Cahaba Station” coming to Trussville?

All Rights Reserved.  Trussville, AL (WBMA) — The City of Trussville has announced scheduled construction on North Chalkville Road, set to take place between Poplar Street and Interstate 59.

Falling tree limbs in Birmingham kills one person, another injured TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (WBMA) — A Trussville man who got scammed out of his $25,000 jeep learned his insurance won't cover the loss. It's a cautionary tale for anyone who sells large ticket items online. Wesley Sharp advertised his Jeep Wrangler on Facebook Marketplace last year with a sales price of $25,000. A buyer from Tennessee was interested. Sharp met him in Trussville after work for a test drive. "We met in a public area with cameras around," explained Sharp. The buyer bought the vehicle on the spot with a cashier's check. Sharp deposited it the next day. But three days later he got a call from the bank, that cashier's check appearing to come from a real bank in Nashville was no good. Sharp filed a police report as did others identifying the suspect from a line up. A warrant is out for Ketwain Meridith, but he has not been arrested. "I was one of at least half a dozen or even more in this grand theft ring. The vehicle he arrived in had been stolen an hour and a half before," explained Sharp. Sharp then filed a claim with his insurance company: Allstate. "Right before Christmas I got a call from them. My heart sunk in; they're not going to do anything," remarked Sharp. In its denial letter Allstate said Sharp was in a sales agreement and sold the Jeep Wrangler and the policy excludes " loss due to conversion or embezzlement by any person who has the vehicle due to any rental, lease, lien or sales agreement." Sharp has had to continue to make payments on the Jeep or his credit will take a hit. "I have three payments left and will have the title in hand in March. I still own the vehicle even though I don't have it," said Sharp. As a customer for years, Sharp says he is very angry. It's a tough lesson for everyone to learn from. Some advice Trussville Police gave Sharp: let them help you running by running ID's and tag numbers to make sure a buyer is legitimate. Meet at the bank to verify cash or a cashier's check is valid. Sharp has since filed a civil suit against Allstate. "Not to have anything is a major disappointment," explained Sharp. We reached out to Allstate media reps who said the claim was denied based on the policy. One positive note in all this, someone who heard about Sharp's plight offered a vehicle as a gift for his family.

WATCHAfter 23 years free garbage service may end in Trussville due to budget concernsby Gracie Johnson — Residents of Trussville may soon have to pay for their garbage service a cost the city has covered for the past 23 years The city council recently approved a resolution allowing mayor Buddy Choat to negotiate a garbage service contract potentially leading to a $30 monthly fee for residents Mayor Choat explained the financial strain on the city noting that covering garbage service fees is costing Trussville $2.5 million annually "Our school tax did not pass last year so we are trying to build our general fund up in case we do have to go to the market and borrow money we will have enough in our reserves and general fund to cover that," said Choat The mayor also highlighted efforts to bolster the city's finances including doubling the lodging tax and making personnel cuts "We've had five months of reporting we've had two record months out of those five but yet we are still over $200,000 behind." Residents expressed mixed feelings about the potential fee "We have paid garbage everywhere we have lived all over the country and when we came back and it was free I was pretty happy." "It probably wouldn't affect my husband and I because our kids are all grown up and we have a pretty steady income but I know it would affect a lot of people especially people with small children." The final decision on the garbage service fee is pending further by the council Car enthusiasts have a chance to check out some amazing vehicles It's First Baptist Trussville's Cruise-In event The event will be held from 3-7pm in the church's parking lot For more information visit www.fbctrussville.org/events AL (WBMA) — A Birmingham landfill again causing issues for neighbors in Trussville Homeowners say the smell is getting worse even in the cold winter months Trussville neighbors in Magnolia Place live next door to Birmingham's Eastern Area landfill There are hundreds of homes and a school nearby For years the landfill has been plagued by complaints with homeowners saying things improved for awhile things have gotten significantly worse with vultures all over the neighborhood," explained Julie Cadena She shared video of dozens of vultures circling above their homes Cadena said when they first moved in the landfill's odors were only noticeable on some hot MORE ITEAM REPORTS: Smelly, cloudy drinking water has East Alabama customers concerned MORE ITEAM REPORTS: Trussville driver loses Jeep in Facebook Marketplace scam While some would argue don't live near a dump if you don't want to risk smells neighbors say that should not be an excuse "If people were following the rules and regulations it wouldn't be an issue," remarked Cadena The Trussville mayor's office told neighbors there was nothing it could do Mark Prince says the smells and contaminants are inching closer "When it's dry we get these dust clouds that settle over the neighborhood; it can't be good for everyone," remarked Prince Prince says the developer told him the landfill would be shutting down when he bought his home decades ago "In the past few years since it re-opened it's gotten out of hand," stated Prince Birmingham city leaders told us the facility is in compliance with regulations Neighbors have filed complaints with state regulators at the Alabama Department of Environmental Management The community hopes it is a sign things are moving forward "We just want to be neighbors and work it out We don't expect them to be shut down," shared Prince We're told once the new cell opens at the landfill household garbage will be dumped further away from the homes Grass will be planted on the hill facing the neighborhood providing some relief Mother’s Day is coming up on May 11, and if you want to gift your mom (and yourself) something amazing, I think I have just the thing.
