An early-morning deluge forced a change in Auburn’s Tuesday-morning practice plans.

It’s happened a couple of times in Auburn’s first few spring practices.

Don’t look now, but the Auburn basketball team has won two of its last three Southeastern Conference games.

HUNTSVILLE — Playing in temperatures that dipped below 40 degrees, the Auburn softball team swept a doubleheader from Alabama A&M on Tuesday, winning 4-0 and 6-0 .

Jana Cooper struck out nine batters to pace Beauregard’s softball team in a 7-5 win over Auburn High on Tuesday.

BIRMINGHAM — Since the 2008 basketball season began, Reeltown’s girls have had their sights set on the Class 2A state title game.
That goal has now been reached, as the second-ranked Rebels knocked off Ider, 63-55, in the state semifinals at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center on Monday.

The offense continued its hot start in Monday’s game, pounding ETSU’s pitching in a 12-2 win. The victory handed the Tigers a sweep of the four-game series.

TALLASSEE — Whitt Dorsey hit a two-run walk-off home run to lift Auburn High over Stanhope-Elmore, 8-7, Monday night in a tournament at Tallassee.

Auburn head swimming coach Richard Quick and head diving coach Jeff Shaffer, along with swimmers Cesar Cielo and Kara Denby, earned four of the SEC’s postseason honors, the league announced Monday.

Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville said he spent most of Sunday’s practice watching his quarterbacks.

According to Alabama guard Mykal Riley, the Crimson Tide’s scouting report before Sunday’s game against Auburn didn’t say much about Tigers forward Lucas Hargrove.

It’s safe to say that will change the next time the two teams meet.

Who said Auburn was just a football school?

Junior outfielder Luke Greinke drove in a career-high five runs, including a go-ahead three-run homer in the fourth inning as Auburn defeated East Tennessee State, 12-4, Sunday at Plainsman Park.

ATHENS, Ga. — Auburn could not come back from a 13-point halftime deficit, and fell at Georgia, 68-56, in a conference game Sunday at Stegeman Coliseum.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Auburn softball team improved to 10-1 on the season with a split of two games in the final day of the UCF Tournament on Sunday afternoon.

BESSEMER — Lee-Scott opened its season with a sweep of Bessemer Academy on Saturday.

Football season is back at Auburn.

Frank Tolbert knows he’s running out of time.

TUSCALOOSA — The Auburn swimming and diving team extended its dominance over the Southeastern Conference on Saturday night as the men’s team won its 12th-straight SEC championship and the women’s team earned its sixth team title.

Auburn battered ETSU pitching throughout Saturday’s game and came away with a 12-1 win. The Tigers (2-0) finished with 14 hits. Even more pleasing for Slater, AU had few bad at-bats — pop-ups or strikeouts that failed to advance baserunners or pressure the defense.

As the regular season draws to a close, the Auburn women’s basketball team faces plenty of questions.

Will the Tigers make the NCAA Tournament? Can junior DeWanna Bonner keep up her remarkable scoring pace?

And the most pressing question of all: When will AU find an answer at point guard?

Auburn High swept a double header from Tallassee on Saturday.

When Auburn begins spring practice Sunday, it will mark a new era in the Tigers’ defensive backfield.

Luke Greinke started off the Auburn baseball season with a strike.

It was the first of many.

The Auburn junior made his second career start a memorable one, leading AU to a 6-3 win against East Tennessee State at Plainsman Park on Friday.

MONTGOMERY — It’s back to Birmingham for Reeltown’s girls.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2008 on Friday at the annual induction ceremony, held at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock. 

In case you missed it, it’s football season again.

TUSCALOOSA — Auburn’s swimming and diving teams won four SEC titles each on Friday as the men’s team extended its lead to 150 points and the women’s team took its first lead of the meet, putting each in control of their own destiny as the 2008 SEC Championships enters its final day.

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Ballard Christian’s dreams of a state championship ended Thursday night, despite getting Kyle Hammock’s 19th double-double of the season.

With all five starters returning from last season’s offensive line, Auburn line coach Hugh Nall must be in for an easy spring practice, right?

Not so fast, Nall says.
