Tuskegee won't be participating in 2013 Turkey Day Classic

TUSKEGEE, AL -

Tuskegee University's Department of Athletics Tuesday released its 2013 football schedule, and the list does not include its biggest rival, the Alabama State University Hornets, in the annual Turkey Day Classic matchup.

Tuskegee said it was inspired to make the change by the run of Winston Salem State in the 2012 season. The Golden Tigers believe the move will allow them more freedom to play further into the postseason by taking part in the NCAA Division II playoffs, if they become eligible.

Young artists encouraged to enter State Fish Art Contest

Each year the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) partners with Wildlife Forever to conduct the State Fish Art Contest in which students depict a state fish and write a one-page essay to compete for scholarships and other prizes. Entries must be postmarked by March 31, 2013, and mailed to Wildlife Forever, 2700 Freeway Blvd., No. 1000, Brooklyn Center, MN, 55430.
 
Artists can choose to depict either of Alabama’s state fish: the largemouth bass or the fighting tarpon. Participants can also choose to draw state-fish from other states. In addition to the artwork, all of the artists, except those in grades 1-3, are required to write a one-page essay with facts about the fish, its natural habitat, and the importance of that habitat.
 
All artwork is judged by Wildlife Forever, which also handles contest details and awards prizes, such as scholarships, art supplies and fishing gear.
