Many counties throughout the nation have a Boys & Girls Club doing great things for the community. Here in Rutherford County, we have the same thing except it’s called Youth Empowerment! It is effective, all giving, and has fast become a mainstay within our community.
The Executive Director is Tracy Williams. In this economy, she is constantly writing grants and seeking help from within the community. She has forged a committed group of Youth Advocates who are not special, but, without a doubt, an extra special epitome of dedication.

Third Time, Same Result In R-S Central-East Rutherford Contest
East Rutherford and R-S Central met for a third time on the court this season in boys play. Central, who has continued its up and down season seemed to be on pace in knocking off East Rutherford. Central led most of the first half, but a 22-0 run by East midway through the contest allowed the Cavs to pick up a 77-66 win at home.
With the win, East Rutherford’s boys move to 16-2 overall, 6-1 in conference as they hold the number one 2A playoff seed in the SMAC with five games left. R-S Central on the other hand has played well against the likes of East, Shelby and Freedom, but have fallen short each time. Currently, the Hilltoppers hold the number three 3A seed out of the SMAC for the playoffs

A few are in the hospital getting repaired, but most got away with scratches, bruises and mentally shaken up. Read More ...

Listen To Life
Do you love the familiar?
