Lady Titans Suffer Season-Ending Loss to Grundy
It takes 90 minutes to travel from Twin Springs High School to Grundy High School in Buchanan County. Last Wednesday, Twin Springs took their final 180-minute roundtrip to Grundy in the quarterfinals of the Region 1D volleyball tournament. It might have been the long road trip or something else, but the Lady Titans were unable to overcome a slow start […]
Mighty Hawg Feels The End is Moving Closer
Folks, the end is near. We’ve reached the juncture in the season where we can officially start counting our days. Film study sessions are drawing to a close, practice days are limited and before we know it the season will be over. I’m not officially calling it quits this week, but I’m afraid this may be one of the last […]
GC Falls to Marion
Gate City’s volleyball season ended last Wednesday after they dropped a 25-17, 25-21, 25-21 decision to Marion in the first round of the Region 2D volleyball tournament.

Devils Defense Delivers Dominant Performance Against Central
The Gate City Blue Devils delivered a terrifying performance on Halloween night, trampling the Wise-Central Warriors with a decisive 42-6 Mountain 7 District victory.

Rye Cove Overwhelms Burton in Cumberland Clash
Rye Cove was rattled early in Friday’s Cumberland District game at the Eagles’ Nest after they gave up a quick touchdown on a lost onside kick.

Rye Cove Lady Eagles Host Patrick Henry Tonight
Rye Cove is headed to the Region 1D volleyball tournament but last Thursday’s battle for the Cumberland tournament title determined seeding in the regional tournament and perhaps an easier opponent to face in the first round. While the Lady Eagles fought tooth-and-nail to beat Eastside in the district finale, their efforts fell short as the Spartans earned the 25-17, 25-10, […]
