Here are the top three stories in Mountain Brook today:

1. The Mountain Brook boys basketball team fell to Buckhorn in the Class 6A championships this Saturday, with a final score of 65-56. That's partly due to Buckhorn freshman player Caleb Holt, who Mountain Brook coach Tyler Davis described in the same sentence as NBA legends LeBron James and Michael Jordan. (AL.com)
2. Dr. Renée Brown Harmon, author of Surfing the Waves of Alzheimer’s: Principles of Caregiving That Kept Me Upright, is set to lead a "lunch-and-learn event on how to connect with someone living with dementia" on March 21, with Alzheimer's of Central Alabama, Saint Luke's Episcopal Church, and Mountain Brook Baptist Church.
