Kentucky racking up 361 empty yards against Tennessee is the ultimate offensive tease

Kentucky Football held the ball for over 35 minutes and racked up 361 total yards against Tennessee, but that box score dominance was nothing more than a frustrating illusion. You cannot control the clock, consistently move the chains, and still lose by 28 points without a catastrophic inability to finish drives.

Seymour firefighters soon to move into new headquarters

After years of planning, the new and improved Seymour Volunteer Fire Station 1 is just about ready to open. The new Station 1 at 10320 Chapman Highway includes a number of upgrades that the original, located on Ford Hill, doesn’t: sleeping quarters, a dedicated training area, several additional administrative offices, a day room and fitness/recovery area and three drive-through engine bays. “Having this station here, with the drive-thru bays and easy grid access, easy line of sight out to get out, and being able to provide bedrooms and showers for our people,” said former SVFD Chief John Linsenbigler. “It’s a big step up.” Walking through the new station, Linsenbigler explained how the upgrades will help SVFD firefighters better respond to calls across the 126 square miles worth of tri-county area that the agency serves. “We’ll have three bathrooms and seven bedrooms (which lets us) plan for the future,” said Linsenbigler. “Eventually, we hope to have more paid staff using our stipend program. We’d like to have somebody on staff at all times at each of our main stations, maybe two people if we can.” Linsenbigler said the department currently has two paid positions: the chief and an admin assistant.

Appenzeller has increased his velocity and added a cutter and new changeup to his repertoire. He said his cutter was reliable

No. 8 Tennessee hopes to build on early positives vs. Radford

As No. 8 Tennessee prepares for its second outing on Monday night, coach Rick Barnes liked what he saw from different parts of his group in the season opener. The Volunteers (1-0) will take the court for the first time in a week against Radford in Knoxville, Tenn. DeWayne Brown II put up 17 points and added 17 rebounds -- personal bests and his first career double-double -- in the 90-59 season-opening victory. "It was very competitive," Brown said. "We were trying to show we were a different team than (preseason games against) Xavier and Duke. We were going to defend and make sure we won the rebound battle. Really, that's what I was focused on the whole game -- doing the right things and being in the right spot." Brown was mostly a defensive presence in the first half, but his offensive game came alive in the second. "(My offense) is something I've been working on a lot," he said. "Coach expects that out of me, and I want to be able to do that for this team. We're going to need that inside presence." Barnes said it was a much-needed performance.

Sweetwater establishing gritty identity in early going

As the new season is set to get underway, Sweetwater basketball is beginning to form its identity. The Lady Wildcats head into the new season with only one senior on the roster and under new coach Kichal Jennings, a coach familiar with success around Sweetwater basketball. “I think they are starting to grow as scrappers and starting to buy in and believe in themselves that they can play this game at this level,” Jennings said. “They buy in, they listen and they play hard.” For Jennings, the willingness to grow has been the main factor in Sweetwater building a productive preseason. “I think it is super important. No matter what, in basketball you have to do the little things and the little things roll up into the big things,” Jennings said. “We preach get better and leave the gym better. They shoot, they want to go work on drills and they get better every time.” The chemistry is showing well and there is a cohesion starting to form for Sweetwater even though it rosters just nine players. “We have been focused on truly ourselves and getting better at Lady Cat basketball. It is going to be repetitive, but the little
