On one end of Thomas Jefferson’s football field Friday night, a sign in white letters said: Just Believe!
The Gryphons certainly do have some faith in the first two weeks of high school football. This past week, they rolled to a 48-7 victory over Andrews, which easily could have been a shutout.
Granted Andrews is a 1A school as well, the Wildcats went 8-5 last year, but in perspective are not a world beater. Thomas Jefferson lost by 39 to the same club a year ago, but things change. Andrews is a younger team with less than 30 kids this season, while TJ has 35 kids and the most experienced group they have had in the program.

Throughout Rutherford County, there are many companies which embrace Relay for Life and contribute in the fight to find a cure for cancer by raising funds. Perhaps the “leader of the pack” in the continuing efforts to raise money for this cause, is none other than the Rutherford Electric Membership Corporation. They are non-stop in anything and everything that can raise some money to contribute to Relay for Life.

Opinion
Who’s winning your race?
I coach a lot of business people about various aspects of their lives and businesses. A lot of them think of life as a rat race.
Maybe you do, too. You think of yourself as in a race with other rats, running around a track or a maze for whatever your cheese is, convinced there’s not enough of it to go around.

I was blessed in my early adult years to work in the mountains. I was on a core drill crew. Our job was to drill a hole deep within the ground in order to find out what strata laid below. I literally spent a few years getting up every morning and going to work surrounded by nature. I learned a lot about trees, plants and animals from those who had spent their lives in these places. Those are still some of the very best memories of my life.
