THE TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

We laughed and joked after the game that she was going to have to watch Pat XO before every game.

So cool to see it all come full circle for this young woman. Proud of you @acestrickland — Congratulations!

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

One of my favorite @acestrickland memories from her HS days was when she was in my Tennessee History class. While discussing Pat Summitt, we watched part of Pat XO. I remember Ace saying “That just fired me up so much” and then going out and scoring 32 in a game that night.

We are so excited to have Dr. Magra join us during Tennessee History today. I look forward to my students getting to learn from one of the professors who really instilled in me a love and appreciation for history. It’s going to be a great day — Thanks for coming to share with us!

[Chris Magra @ChrisMagra]

Looking forward to talking about Alvin York ⁦@FarragutHighSch⁩ for TN history.

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

@StrohParker Thank you, Parker! I appreciate it.

I have been let down by the Vols for the majority of my 31 years but it’s September and I am once again feeling optimistic, so you heard it here first…

These 12 and their families are some of the best you’ll ever meet. It’s been a lot of fun watching them play these past 4 years. Would love to go back in time and watch them all over again but I’m excited for the bright futures they have ahead. Congrats on historic seasons.

I had the opportunity to spend this week in Tampa with ⁦@FHSbball⁩ and I can’t say enough good things about these young people. They’re outstanding athletes and even better people — and a lot of fun to be around. I’m proud of them and the way they have represented Farragut.

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

@cameronyoung__ @StrohParker Thank you! And happy belated birthday to you! I hope you had a good one.

Enjoyed getting to learn about some of our local history and tour ⁦@eastTNhistory⁩ and ⁦@TNTheatre⁩ with my Tennessee History students today. We had a great time!

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

Thanks ⁦@fulkerson_john⁩ for coming to Farragut to speak to our guys in advisory about servant leadership. We enjoyed getting to hear from you!

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

@mhbrooks70 That's awesome. I've been told that he's a lot like I was at that age so I'll be curious to hear if you think that's true. Haha I hope you have a great year!

[Garrett Jones @AdmiralsXC_TF]

Beyond thankful to work with this amazing group of people!!! @FHSCollins

@coachtatefhs20 @BartlettJC @5StarPreps @prepxtra @farragutpress1 Thank YOU for all you have done to live tweet 4 different sports and highlight 90+ Farragut spring sports athletes this week. You are appreciated!

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

@mhbrooks70 Unfortunately the trip from 5th grade to age 30 didn’t take as long as I thought it would when I was sitting in your class back in the day. Hope you’re doing well!

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

About to close out Year 6. This place has blessed me more than I deserve.

[Ben Collins @FHSCollins]

@_catmiller865 That's what I'm saying. Doesn't feel like that long ago at all.
