Happy Anniversary!

AUGUST 2017

ugust will mark the first anniversary of Hendersonville Lifestyle magazine. The last 12 issues have been a fast, exciting and humbling experience, and we look forward to being a small part of your life over the next 12 months and beyond. I want to thank all our advertising partners and monthly readers for trusting in Hendersonville Lifestyle over the past year. We have had so much fun; it’s hard to believe it has been 12 months and summer is almost coming to an end with back to school this month.

But, as the song goes, school’s out for summer (we’ll just go ahead and skip that next line declaring school out forever). And, as summer begins to come to a close (at least in the summer break sense—if you prefer to go by the astronomical seasons you still have almost two more months, yay!), it’s time to start thinking about getting back to those backpacks, lunches, busy days and football.

The beginning of a new school year is an exciting time. Whether it be the first day of kindergarten or senior year of college, it marks a new time in the never-ending quest for knowledge.

A new time of finding out who your teacher is, going school supply shopping, choosing the perfect back-to-school wardrobe, decorating your new dorm room, learning about your new roommate or trying to remember where you have to go when and how much time you have to get there.

While a new school year is an exciting time of beginnings, it’s also a stressful time. That’s why our August issue of Hendersonville Lifestyle aims to provide a little help with our back-to-school guide.

You’ll also find inside a testament to some of the most important people we meet in life: teachers. Join us as we pay homage to the people who shape us all through our formative years and who encourage us to see the world through curious eyes.

To all the teachers joining us this month: thank you. None of us would be where we are without you.

VOL STATE ANNOUNCES EDUCATIONAL ECLIPSE EVENT ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES The August 21 total solar eclipse will be a moment for families to share together. Volunteer State Community College has a free and educational eclipse watching event planned that day for kids and parents. Everyone is invited, but advance registration is required. The total eclipse will only be seen in a narrow path across the United States. Gallatin will be one of the best spots in the country to view the total eclipse, with totality lasting 2 minutes, 40 seconds.

Educational presentations at Vol State will include an examination of the eclipse event in human history and culture and how viewing the sun can cause eye damage if you’re not safe. There will be discussions with amateur astronomers who are traveling to Vol State from across North America to view the eclipse. Science activities for kids will include a scale model of the solar system, construction of pinhole cameras to view the eclipse, making a sun dial and constructing a solar hot dog cooker for a contest. There will even be astronomically themed face painting. A science instructor from Mississippi will be doing fun eclipse presentations for younger kids that will include music and demonstrations. There will be a live narration during the totality and free viewing glasses for attendees. The activities will be held both outside on the Thigpen Library lawn and in air-conditioned buildings.

s August closes in and summer vacations end, many people begin to anticipate fall. Along with the cooler temperatures and the turning of leaves, they

know that one of the best times of the year is coming soon: football season. From junior pro through the NFL, football has a hold in the South unlike any other sport. However, the excitement for the season is most evident on Friday nights through the spectacle that is high school football. Nowhere is this feeling more evident than in and around Hendersonville, Tennessee.

As schools prepare to open for another year, eager players and fans begin the countdown to what they hope will be their team’s most magical season. At this point, all teams are tied for first place, and they each will have the opportunity to vie

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

football 2017, Hendersonville Lifestyle is delighted to provide you with a preview of the upcoming season with a spotlight on several of your favorite local teams.

Hendersonville Area High School Football 2017 Preview

HENDERSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

Since the fall of 1941, the Hendersonville High School Commandos have been a force to be reckoned with in Middle Tennessee prep football. Proudly wearing the school colors of black and gold, Hendersonville has a long tradition of fielding outstanding high school football teams that have gone deep in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association postseason playoffs, including being state runner-up in the 2013 BlueCross Bowl.

Last season, Hendersonville finished with an overall record of 7-3 in TSSAA Division I Class 5A Region 6 action. Due to increased enrollment, this season the Commandos will move up to Division I Class 6A Region 4.

“We have the most difficult group of teams on our schedule in the history of HHS football," head football coach Bruce Hatfield says. "However, this team has worked hard so far, and we expect them to do well.”

Key matchups include traditional rivalry opponents Gallatin, Beech and Station Camp, along with region powerhouses Blackman, Mt. Juliet and Franklin.

Hendersonville has a strong group of experienced players returning this fall. The key offensive player to watch will be senior quarterback Brett Coker. He will take his snaps behind a veteran offensive line that includes seniors Blaze Foster, Dustin Perdue and Connor Tacconelli. Defensively, Hendersonville will be led by Anthony Hughes, a 6-foot-1-inch, 193-pound senior who also takes snaps as a running back on offense. The veteran defensive backfield, including Gabe Dalton, Chandler Kennedy and Josh Gerleve, will do their best to shut down opposing offenses.

BEECH HIGH SCHOOL

The Beech High School Buccaneers are eager to return to the playing field this fall after finishing with an overall record of 8- 4 (7-3 regular season, third place in Division I Class 5A Region 6) during the 2016 campaign. Led by veteran head coach Anthony Crabtree, the Beech Buccaneers are eager to return to the form that led to their only state football championship in 2012.

The Buccaneers' tough schedule begins with two away games, including a neutral field matchup against region rival Henry County at Austin Peay State University. Other key matchups include region games against Gallatin, Glencliff, Hillsboro and Hillwood, as well as local rivals Hendersonville and Station Camp.

Despite the loss of 13 seniors from last year, the Buccaneers look to be one of the favorites to vie for their region championship. On offense, Beech will be led by a veteran squad of seniors including quarterback Nelson Smith, tight end Heath Crabtree, wide receiver Ty Dean and running backs Austin Hawkins and Garrett Butler. Defensively, the Buccaneers will rely on the talents of senior defensive back Robert Lewis and linebackers Chaz Williamson and John Parker Carroll.

and its Bison football team.

As the newest high school in Sumner County, Station Camp has experienced rapid growth that has seen the school change TSSAA football classifications multiple times since its opening in 2002. Last year, the Bison competed in DI Region Class 5A Region 6, earning an overall record of 4-6. Due to increased enrollment, Station Camp was once again reclassified and will be competing in DI Class 6A Region 4 during the 2017 season.

Coached by Shaun Hollinsworth, the Bison are eager to begin play after the offseason.

Per the coach, the key to this season is “Antioch, our first game. We need to get off on the right foot by starting the season with a win to start things rolling.”

Key matchups for the Bison this season include local rivals Hendersonville, Gallatin and Beech as well as the school’s other Region 4 opponents.

The critical offensive challenge is “determining who is going to emerge as the quarterback to lead the Bison,” Shaun says. Candidates for the position include senior Nick Nelson and juniors Braxton Loewen and Max Barnett.

Similarly, on the defensive side, the coach adds that the big question is “who is going to fill the inside linebacker roles left by 2016

HENDERSONVILLE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY (HCA)

Hendersonville Christian Academy is one of the oldest private schools in the greater Nashville area, having been founded in 1977. The HCA Crusader football program is unique in our 2017 preview in that the school competes in an eight-man format rather JPII Football stadium

than the traditional 11-man squads used by most schools. The smaller team requirements help the school overcome the limitations imposed by its smaller enrollment and pool of potential players.

HCA looks to build upon a .500 season in 2016 as it competes in the North Division of the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference (MTAC). During the upcoming season, the Crusaders will face several MTAC opponents, including Lighthouse Christian, Christian Community, Franklin Classical Academy and the Webb School.

“No game is more important than another, but our opener against the Heat will be special, as we partnered last year to have a complete team,” second-year head coach Daniel Meek says about key matchups.

This fall, the Crusaders will rely heavily upon the senior tandem of quarterback Justin Bader and wide receiver Joseph Mussnug to move the ball down the field. Defensively, HCA will be led by senior defensive lineman Tanner Sturgis.

LUNCH OPTION ONE:

Rice Cake + Hazelnut Butter + Kiwi + Strawberry: This delicious, fruity rice cake could be packed as a breakfast snack or as a healthy, creative lunch option. This gives kids a great start to their daily fruit intake.

Rice Cake + Hummus + Cucumber + Carrots + Yellow Pepper + Broccoli + Spinach: Another healthy dose of veggies, this option would give kids a good source of essential vitamins.

Rice Cake + Smashed Avocado + Cherry Tomatoes + Basil + Vegan Parmesan "Cheese": This is a great option for a vegan child or a child with a dairy allergy. The parmesan "cheese" is easy to make and very tasty.

Rice Cake + Peanut Butter + Banana + Granola: This is a fun way to add some protein, potassium and whole grains to your child's lunch! Pack as a snack or with other healthy sides.

Homemade Lemony Hummus: Chickpeas are high in fiber, protein, iron, folate, phosphorus and B vitamins. It tastes so good that kids won't even know how healthy it is!
