Mixed Martial Arts: More than just a fad

By Terry McMoore | June 19, 2008 |

Critics of mixed martial arts fighting might say that Fort Campbell and Clarksville are not ready for this type of event! Well, try telling that to the 600 plus spectators that showed up at Froggy’s Fight Night on the Fort Campbell army base in Kentucky for a invitational tournament held by the Scientific Street Fighting (SSF) Submission Academy.

Mixed martial arts or MMA is a style of fighting that combines a wide variety of fighting techniques; a mixture of Martial Arts traditions, boxing, and wrestling. The sport was made popular in the early 1990’s by the Gracie family of Brazil, who organized some of the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bouts in the country. Its popularity had already reached legendary proportions throughout Japan, Europe and the Pacific regions of the world under the name “Vale – Tudos”, or “Anything Goes”. «Read the rest of this article»

Davidson College spirit undaunted on campus and at the hoops

By Rev. Charles Moreland | April 6, 2008 |

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»

BoSox bat prices out of the park

By Christine Anne Piesyk | December 5, 2007 |

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»
