Reporter Jaeden Day hosts father for Alabama State football sideline experience

Montgomery Advertiser reporter Jaeden Day recently spent a three-day weekend hosting his father, DeWayne Day, for a series of local football events. The pair attended practices at Alabama State and Carver-Montgomery, as well as a game at Prattville. The experience culminated Saturday at an Alabama State contest, where the Hornets secured a 34-0 victory. During the game, the elder Day provided assistance with sideline coverage and observed post-game media responsibilities. This visit served as an opportunity for the reporter to share his professional environment with his father, who initially introduced him to sports. DeWayne Day faces an upcoming medical procedure to address a recurrence of cancer, adding personal significance to the weekend.
