Sirprised that it happened.  I was told a couple of weeks ago that it was dead and that Nolen was headed to IMG Academy.  Apparently the proper strings got pulled after all to get him to Powell.

Whoa. Obviously I support this on the principle that everyone should want to live in Powell.

Powell will be hard to beat. They should win the 5A State Championship. Their Skill players are 2nd to none. Stopping the run had been their weakness. Walter Nolan will take care of that.

Even without the carpetbaggers that wonder in from time to time ... :naughty:

For those with LONG memories, I was at Powell when Henson was the football coach
Heck, HTV was still in diapers in those days  :dunno:

If they are ever going to win a gold ball, the time is now or never.  No excuses. 

And they are actually a junior dominated team.  Most of the major talent returns next year, to.

I resided in Powell from ~2001 (?) until 2006 (?). Recently I drove through en route to Kentucky. My goodness things have changed, but fortunately Buddy's had not.

Yeah, I hardly recognize Pal myself, at times.   

And next time, forget Buddy's.  Get off at Callahan Road and stop at Archers.  Or better yet keep driving up I-75 and get off at Caryville and eat at Rickard Ridge's BBQ at Cove Lake State Park. 

And Sweet P's has opened a new store just off of Broadway now, just off of I-640 at Tazewell and Jacksboro Pikes.  Sweet P's is the best BBQ place in town, my go to when my smoker isn't open.

Yep. My youngest graduated from Pal in 2008, and it now is nothing even resembling the school she and my son attended. 

Different day, my friend.

And on Sweet P's - go to the new one off Broadway, and not the one in The Old City.  Night and day.  The original in South Knoxville was the best, but they had to close it to be able to have staff to work the other two locations.  The times we live in.

Thanks for the culinary advice Herb! I look forward to tying those the next time I'm through town.
