Sports Reporter at ABC24 Memphis. U of M Alum. I'm probably on a court or a field in Memphis right now, reporting on the city I love. Also… FORZA ROMA!
GG Jackson talks about playing against Lebron tonight and how they didn't want to make Lebron 'mad'
I would listen to a GG Jackson podcast everyday 😂

After last night's game I asked Ryan Silverfield (

"We've built a trust pretty quickly which is unique."
Brandon Thomas (
@NLR_22
) rushed for 2⃣TD last night and now has the 5⃣th most rushing TD in Memphis history (29)
After the game Silverfield praised BT's performance and even said he ran like Oiler's legend Earl Campbell
Grant Troutman (
@troutman_grant
) and Collierville (
@CHSDragonFB
) grab a 15-12 statement win at Germantown to improve to 6-0
Troutman: 2 Pass TD
Collierville are now atop the toughest division in the state (Region 8 6A) and it doesn't look like they are slowing down anytime soon

Baraka Okojie told me one of the reasons he was interested in Memphis is due to Penny Hardaway's track record when it comes to prepping players for the NBA.
But, he also saw Derrick Rose on his flight from Chicago to Memphis after visiting DePaul and he took that as a sign
