Senior Savannah Quick tied a school record 4 under par on Monday to lead the Coffee County Central High School Lady Raider golf team to a big win over Cookeville at Willowbrook.  The Red Raiders fought through the heat and some bad luck to finish 32 strokes behind the Cavaliers in the non-region head-to-head matchup.  The girls earned a season sweep over the Lady Cavaliers while the Red Raiders could not avenge a pair of earlier losses to the talented Cookeville boys. The Lady Raiders improved their record to 27 and 3 on the season with a 143 to...

It’s good to get one.” The Giants, who are a Major League-worst 14-26 in the second half, kept pace with the National League West-leading Dodgers and have now won three of their last four games....

Matt Kemp launched a three-run home run deep over the center-field fence and Mike Foltynewicz continued his mastery of the Giants this year as the Braves halted San Francisco’s brief winning streak with a 3-1 victory Saturday. “It always feels good to put your team up, especially coming in here,” Kemp said. “It’s good to quiet the crowd a little bit. They get riled up when they’re up. But if you can get on the board and get them down, they’ll back off you a little bit. Folty pitched an excellent game. We gave as many runs as he...
