@rwlotz @TylerWombles @Troy_Provost Thank you so much! It was my greatest honor getting to cover The Creamsicle.

[Taylor Vortherms @TaylorVortherms]

Congratulations, @TylerWombles! I’ll be starting a new job with a nonprofit in St. Louis.

Thanks, @Troy_Provost, and thanks to everyone who made East Tennessee feel like home for the past three years!

[Troy Provost-Heron @Troy_Provost]

Super excited to add Tyler to the staff. He’s been extremely patient waiting for this opportunity, and I have no doubt he’s going to kill it.

I’d like to thank @TaylorVortherms for all her hard work since I became sports editor. Our sports section is losing a good one.

William Blount softball secures its spot in the region tournament with a 14-10 win over Hardin Valley. @SavannahClasson led William Blount with two home runs and 8 RBIs. The Govs are about to take on Farragut in the district tourney championship. @TDT_Sports

Personal news:

Excited to announce that I am joining the @DailyTimes as a sports reporter covering Tennessee football and preps in Blount County. This is an exciting opportunity to work for the paper in the city that Hannah and I have been blessed to call home the last 5 years.
