Maryville Rugby Football Club provides middle school boys and high school girl ruggers on a particularly wet day in April a step back in time to younger days when they would've been found in a muddy puddle in the yard when left unattended as toddlers.   Rugby is most fun when played on a rainy day.  If this is appealing to you contact Coach Jay Hawkins at 388-4074 or maryville@smacrugby.com.  Check out more on Maryville Rugby at www.mrfcrugby.com.

Hello everyone!  This is my first blog for the Blount County Voice.  I decided to keep it simple and display one of my favorite photographs that i took on August 18, 2007 and  was published in The Daily Times on August 19, 2007.
The photograph was shot at 400 ISO, the shutter speed at 500 and the aperture at f/16.
