Last Friday was a strange twist and turn of emotion for every school in Rutherford County and even for Chesnee in the opening week of high school football. As weird as it may seem, the only team to get a victory within the county was Thomas Jefferson, while Chesnee did some damage south of the border.
The Gryphons, behind the leadership of an experienced Jerry Cash, gained their second ever win in the football program’s short hiatus last Friday. Will McGraw scored both touchdown for Thomas Jefferson (1-0) in a thrilling ending at home.

Scouting for the upcoming deer season is in full throttle. If you’re hunting familiar property this might be as simple as making sure nothing significant as happened to the area to impact your deer’s regular travel corridor. But most likely it will involve finding out about where the food is; namely the acorns. And sometimes it’s not enough to find one oak tree; it might be that just over the hill there is a whole ridge full of them and this is perhaps a better place to see more deer. It takes lots of information in order to come up with a good game plan.

After Pearl Harbor, General Theodore Roosevelt was flying on a plane and seats were hard to come by. At a stop, priority was served on a very young sailor, but he wouldn’t get off the plane. “I want to see my mother,” he said.
“Sorry son,” the ticket agent said, “There’s a war on, you know.”
Having heard all of this, General Roosevelt stepped up to the counter and said, “Give him my seat. I’ll take a later plane.”
