Saddened by this.   Good friend, one of the most kind hearted people I knew.   Going to miss our frequent chats.   Tell those you are close to that you care.  You never know.

We just spoke on the telephone not even 2 weeks ago and had a great conversation and he was very excited about his magazine being released for a second straight year.  I’m in shock and am heartbroken that he is no longer with us.  Hug those you love even closer tonight and tell them how much they mean to you.

Not ashamed to admit that I have shed some tears today over losing a friend like this. 

Tell your friends you care, because you just never know what is going thru their minds. 

Life is difficult.

He kept up with the entire state very well. I have not seen one person do a better job at covering the entire state in the past 20 years on a day-to-day basis. 

I did not know Donovan personally, but I did communicate with him. I always checked to see what he was writing about. He made a good contribution as a sportswriter and as a devoted fan of Tennessee high school football.

As I am sure that a lot of you have already heard, the cause of death was suicide. Please pray for the family.

And for his friends. Shortly after my graduation, one of my closest friends was here one day and gone the next by his own hand...I don't know if or when I will ever fully escape the guilt of "did I miss something" or "was there anything that I could have done" to change the outcome. Don't agonize over something you have zero control over as I did for many years following...you won't find anything there no matter how many nights you spend analyzing every conversation that you can recall in your mind.

A lot of others have said exactly what I've been feeling. Just awful news.

I'll never know what Donovan was going through, but please be kind to others. And teach your kids/grandkids to show that same genuine kindness. You'd be surprised what a smile or a kind word/gesture can do, even for a complete stranger. The world desperately needs more of that.

      One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.

      If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.

      Clinton names new OC

      By HTV · Posted

      I'm not a Powell grad.  I am a Bearden grad.   My son and daughter are Powell grads.   I did radio play by play for Powell, my last year was 2013. I also did radio play by play for South Doyle, and my last gig was at Maryville before I retired.   My oldest grandson plays in the Karns Middle program, so I see more Karns games than I do Powell these days.  I've been to 3 Powell games since 2013.   I don't have any ties to Powell, haven't since 2013.   No "y'all" there.    And the kid you are talking about does have a very good arm, but he's not the QB that Deuce Rogers is.  Rogers is a legit dual threat guy.  The younger kid now at Clinton, or about to be at Clinton, isn't the dual threat that Rogers is.
