"Zack Godley’s final college baseball game might have come one year ago, but when the Major League Baseball draft rolled around last summer, his phone didn’t ring.To be accurate, it did ring, but not with the news — or the price — he wanted to hear.So Godley returned to college, a rare, undrafted SEC ace, and set about pitching an even better season than the one before."

"After a season of highs and lows, Holly Warlick rebounded and finished her first year as Lady Vols head coach strong.“Not too many people get the opportunity to come back and coach where they played, come back to coach where they grew up,” says Holly Warlick.With principle and passion, Holly’s not only carrying on Pat Summit’s legacy, but also her late father’s. Sports were a key part of Holly’s life growing up in West Knoxville. Whether it was track, softball or basketball, Holly’s father, Bill, was her mentor."
