The Davidson College basketball team (Wildcats) have enthralled and captivated us with their impressive performance on the court. The team brought a fresh perspective to the March Madness series. Convincingly, they showed their competency in this sport. For this season’s viewers, Davidson was a special gift.
The Wildcats will be remembered and given a place in history of March madness even though they were finally subdued by Kansas in Detroit. In this case, laurels go to to loser as well as the Jayhawks. To them goes the kudos of being the Cinderella team of the series. Each player displayed team spirit and proficiency in handling the ball, rebounding and successfully scoring.
The magnificent Davidson team, whose streak of 25 wins, the largest in the nation, ended, but they are still a favorite among Tennesseans. «Read the rest of this article»

Sitting here in Clarksville, where the Tennessee Titans football is much closer that the World Series winners in Boston, I realize I am a long way from Fenway Park and its famed green monster. Not that I am a baseball fan. Or a fan of football. Or basketball. Or hockey. Or any of those mainstream team games. Don’t care. Never did. Never bought the T-shirt.
Nonetheless, as I read last week’s edition of my hometown’s non-traditional newspaper, and knowing that team sports play big across America, I couldn’t help but be captivated by a commentary on the state of ticket prices in major league sports: the announcement that Red Sox tickets would be pricing out at $125 per seat per game for the 2008 season. Wow! «Read the rest of this article»

This is the season to enjoy myriad sports from high school to professional games. Football is with us, and is given extensive coverage on the weekends. And of course, the Titans are our favorite team.
Another sport receiving publicity and occasionally headlines the local papers is golf. Montgomery County has several golf courses spread across Clarksville and its neighboring communities that afford golfers the opportunity to leave behind the stress and anxiety of work for the elation that comes with this game. Although I am no longer a golfer myself, I appreciate the sport.
At Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, I first learned the fundamentals of the game as well as taking advantage of the opportunity to improve my health by walking the gold course and chasing wayward golf balls.
There is excitement in this primarily quiet game. A local golfer in a recent tournament shouted “Boom” as he scored a birdie (under par) and victory in his match. It’s a cause for jubilation when an individual set an achievable goal and reaches it in golf. «Read the rest of this article»
