Brother Jack Goodson '04 sends word from Kingsport, Tennessee, where he's a sportswriter for the Kingsport Times-News, a 50,000 circulation daily newspaper in Northeast Tennessee. His focus is prep and college coverage -- game leads, features and previews. His specific beats include high school soccer and University of Tennessee football.
A fun fact about Kingsport, Tennessee, courtesy the always-reliable Wikipedia. In 1916, townsfolk demanded the death of Mary, a five-ton Asian elephant, after she stepped on the head of her assistant trainer & killed him. Mary was "hanged by the neck from a railcar-mounted industrial crane ... as dozens of children fled in terror". What does this story have to do with Jack? Not a damn thing, I just wanted an excuse to use that title for a post.
Jack sent along the above picture of the 2000 pledge class out at the Challenge Discovery ropes course up in Doswell. I understand no elephants were harmed in the making of that team.
