Kirk Cousins was left “shocked” when the Atlanta Falcons selected fellow quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the eighth pick in the NFL draft.

DAVID MUNDEE The Providence Christian boys tennis team had a dominating opening day at the AHSAA Class 1A-2A-3A state tournament on Thursday.
Mixson, who has been part of several cross country titles at the school, said the tennis crown was “unique” in several ways. Providence Christian joined city rival Houston Academy boys as a state champion, giving the city of Dothan two of the four state titles in AHSAA boys this season. Houston Academy won its title on Tuesday.“Yesterday was a super day and we won a few more today to basically put it out of reach, but yesterday was awesome.”
“There was a tight bond between us,” Harrison said. “We would go out to eat somewhere together and we would help each other out when we are going through hard times,” and McCalister added, “It is our drive to want to win and how we play on the court, honoring God.” “I feel jubilant,” McCallister said. “After being out all season and coming back and winning the state title is amazing.”“Being patient and waiting for the right moment to attack and waiting for the right ball to hit and also shot placement,” McCallister said.
“When you think back on it, that one was very critical because they would have gotten the points and we wouldn’t have won the title,” JJ Hughes the coach said. The No. 6 singles player for PCS, Vance Lewis, reached the semifinals. Lewis earned a 6-0, 6-0 win in the opening round over Westminster’s Cooper Rehberg before falling in a tough three setter 4-6, 6-2, 10-4 to Rex Roberson of Lauderdale County.
NMA boys tie for eighth: The Northside Methodist Academy boys teams also qualified for the state meet and finished tied for eighth with Decatur Heritage with four points.
