Two important public hearings will take place Tuesday night in Shelbyville.

Shelby County Fiscal Court will hear public response about its plan to close the Who Da Thot It Bridge over Clear Creek near downtown Shelbyville. This is the bridge that connects 5th Street to Jail Hill Road.

That bridge currently is closed because it is in disrepair and the state changed its plans to have it repaired this year. Magistrates voted to close it permanently, pending the required public hearing.

Those comments may be made at 6 p.m. at Stratton Center.

Visiting Eastern scored 35 unanswered points in the second half to rally for a 49-28 victory over Collins on Saturday night at Shelby County's Robert Doyle Stadium.

The Titans scored three touchdowns in the final 2 minutes and 19 seconds of the first half to lead 28-14 at intermission, but Collins couldn't carry that momentum over into the second half.

The Eagles scored on their first five possessions of the second half, including three times on the heels of Titans' turnovers, to take command of the game.
