Saraland High School receives donated aircraft for hands-on training
SARALAND, Ala. (WKRG) — A transportation company has donated a full-scale maintenance training aircraft to Saraland High School to expand hands-on aviation experience. Mobile first responders feel residents 'abuse' 911 system – here's why According to an AAA USA news release, the company donated a retired Piper PA-28 general aviation aircraft, which will allow students to work on the aircraft's frame. SHS has an Airframe technology program that 'educates students on aircraft construction and operation,' a news release said. AAA USA officials said this will prepare students for careers in airplane maintenance and other related fields. 'By investing in workforce development and partnering with Saraland High School and Coastal Alabama Community College, we aim to highlight the career opportunities available to students after graduation,' said Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of AAA USA Perry C. Rucker. SHS Principal Scott Croley said this donated plane offers students an opportunity to get hands-on experience. 'We're extremely fortunate to have this opportunity to partner with AAA USA, specifically to have a piece of machinery like the functioning airplane for the students to be able to physically put their hands on day in and day out, and it's something that I feel like a lot of high school students do not have that opportunity,' said Croley.

Texas signee named Alabama's Mr. Football for 2024 season
Texas signee named Alabama's Mr. Football for 2024 season Texas signee named Alabama's Mr. Football for 2024 season He hasn't stepped foot on the Forty Acres just yet, but Texas signee and senior quarterback KJ Lacey is already making waves as a Longhorn. The Alabama Sports Writers Association named him the state's top high school football player for 2024 at the annual Player of the Year Banquet on Tuesday afternoon. His selection marks the third consecutive Mr. Football Award for Saraland High School, following back-to-back wins by Ryan Williams in 2022 and 2023. No school had ever won the award in consecutive years before Saraland's recent run of dominance. One of the top pure passers in the 2025 recruiting cycle, Lacey is known for his quick release, accuracy at multiple levels, and ability to maneuver under pressure. While he lacks prototypical size, he makes up for it with sharp decision-making and the ability to create throwing lanes with his arm angles. His deep-ball accuracy and ability to extend plays make him a tough challenge for opposing defenses. 'It's truly a blessing,' Lacey said. 'All the hard work paid off. For Saraland to win all three 6A (back) awards in three years and three Mr. Footballs is special. I'm definitely glad to keep that streak going. I loved Saraland. I loved Alabama. Now, it's time to take my talents to Texas and see what I can do.' A proven winner, he entered his senior season with a 31-5 record as a starter and has led Saraland to back-to-back state championship game appearances in Alabama's highest classification. As he prepares for the jump to the collegiate level, he'll look to add size while maintaining the playmaking ability that has made him one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in his class. He'll join the Longhorns at an interesting time as Arch Manning takes over the helm in the forty acres.
