Many folks know that I've always been fond of my neighbors to the south. We've been to the E TN area probably close to two dozen times over the years for baseball.
However, this weekend we visited the area for the first time for a volleyball tournament. Our entire team got stuck in a traffic jam on an interstate due to a large wreck. The assistance coach of the hosting team came and met us at another exit and took us to the school via back roads. The coach of the team that we ended up loosing to in the championship game came over to us parents after pool play asking if there was anything we needed. The kids were polite and well mannered on each and every team. The town of Johnson City was clean and well kept.
Everyone there treated us with grace and hospitality making the weekend very special.
Oh, the hosting school was Science Hill and the team we lost too with a sweetheart of a coach was Dobs Bennet (?sp).
So, just a shout out to that area that does TN very proud!
