The offense produced plenty of points, the defense swarmed and made plays, and the special teams unit made a big impact. Sure, many of the Titans starters didn’t play, and some didn’t even make the trip to Atlanta for the team’s preseason opener last night against the Falcons. But the overall performance was still good from start to finish, as the Titans rolled to a 23-3 win over the Falcons. “We’re never going to underestimate winning at anything,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. “We’re going to want to compete with whoever is in there.” The Titans competed well on...

As the Braves sit atop the National League East standings with a lineup that includes an abundance of power, it’s remarkable to consider how much has changed for them since the All-Star break. Many of the concerns that surrounded this team for much of the season’s first four months have steadily evaporated over the past few weeks. Dansby Swanson extended his recent power barrage and Freddie Freeman teamed with Austin Riley to hit back-to-back homers in a 6-5 win over the Nationals on Sunday afternoon at Nationals Park. The victory sealed a three-game sweep for the Braves, who have won 10...

Westwood’s Rocket football team is so close to being 2-0 on the young season. Unfortunately, close doesn’t count in the win column. Westwood went on the road Thursday and gave Fayetteville City all it wanted but came up just short, losing 20-14. The Rockets twice had opportunities in the fourth quarter and trailing by six points. The Rockets had a reverse pass from Matthew White to Kaysen Lowery go for 40 yards and get the Rockets inside the 10-yard line but it was called back due to a penalty. With about a minute to play the Rockets fell on...

We are still three months from the tip-off of high school basketball and senior Elli Chumley has already made her decision on where she plans to play at the collegiate level. Chumley, an integral part of the Coffee County Central Lady Raider basketball program’s success over the past two seasons, has made a verbal commitment to play for the Freed-Hardeman University Lady Lions at the conclusion of her high school career. “It is such a blessing and a relief to get this out of the way [before my senior season],” Chumley told Thunder Radio Thursday. “A huge thank you...
