Since the AC loss, Kingston has played Oliver Springs and Stone Memorial. They had a win against both teams.

Kingston celebrated homecoming was September 26. The week was full of themed dress up days and a parade on Thursday night.

They have also played two b-team games and have two more wins for the season.

Kingston host Fulton at home tonight. This the last home game of the season and will be senior night.

A Milestone. . .

Today is our anniversary. It is hard to believe 20 years have past.

Tennessee Tradition

Our afternoon on the UT campus for the UT - Floria game. Thank goodness for the pre-game fun!!! The game sure wasn't much to talk about.

We started out with a picnic at the parking garage. . .

Then we watched the VOL walk

Paul and Luke "high-fived" every player on the team as they walked down the hill.

Rocky Top from the Pep Band. . .

Did I mention the cheerleaders. . .

I think that was their favorite part!

We had a good time with Seth, Emily, Luke and Cassie.

Tacky Day

This is homecoming week at RCHS. So for tacky day, Timothy just had to dress up. . .

Now if that doesn't make you proud, I don't know what will!

Football Update

Kingston hosted Anderson County Friday night. It was a great game!

• AC won in double overtime 21-17.

The B-team hosted Crossville last night, it too was a close game. Kingston won 19-16.

During the game, one of the players broke his leg. He was taken off the field on a stretcher. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Green Tea

I think we should all research the benefits of green tea. Since Retta has been diagnosed with breast cancer, she and Larry have spent a lot of time looking for things to help her body fight the cancer. So I decided to google "green tea". . . the results are amazing. I am making the switch!

Here is a couple of things I found

Benefits of green tea. . .
Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful:

• cancer
• rheumatoid arthritis
• high cholesterol levels
• cariovascular disease
• infection
• impaired immune function
