🌱 UAH Record-Breaker + Sparkman Football Coach Retires

Rise and shine, Huntsville! Grab the coffee and get this Tuesday morning started with us.

But first, today's weather: Sun and clouds. High: 65 | Low: 53. 🌤

Also, FYI: I'm filling in temporarily to write your morning newsletters after Amy's departure last week. But I wanted to let you know that Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Huntsville Patch newsletter and make it their own. We want to pass the torch to someone truly local and in-the-know to write about Huntsville long term. So if you're interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

🗣 Patch Shout Out 🗣

Our Shout Out for this Tuesday morning goes to University of Alabama in Huntsville men's basketball senior Max Shulman, who is now the program's record holder for three-pointers in a career. (More)
