βWhen you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.β

Mom passed away this afternoon with my dad and myself by her side. She fought cancer until the end.
Some personal newsβ¦
Iβve been named The Tennesseanβs sports director and will oversee our sports department.
Excited for this opportunity. I appreciate every editor that has helped me get to this point.
And please continue to support local news.
Family update: My father and his wife are currently in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. Dad is even in the ICU due to needing more oxygen. It was turned down slightly this afternoon. Long way to go. Prayers appreciated.
Iβve been pretty much off the radar the last few days. I am in Indiana caring for my mother at my parentsβ home. We have called in hospice. Continued prayers appreciated as we keep her comfortable. #CancerSucks
TSSAA Board of Control votes unanimously to go back to normal preseason calendar⦠meaning preseason scrimmages for fall and beyond are officially back on.
Folks. We have a plan for hs athletics in the fall. Letβs do our part to try not to screw it up.
Wear a mask. Social distance. Stay home when possible. This isnβt the time for the biggest fireworks party ever.
Thanks to the #TeamTennessee high school staff for taking care of the @TSSAA DII championship games today. Sometimes you have to stop and be a dad. Like when your daughter asks you to the father-daughter dance.
