Ballroom Dance Team moves into competition season Savannah Smith Staff Writer

UT’s Ballroom Team is dancing their way through the semester and keeping in time this school year.

The UT Ballroom Team is the university’s first competitive ballroom dance team under RecSports. The team strives to introduce ballroom dancing to UT and the Knoxville area.

The group performs both American Style and International Style dances.

American Style can be broken down into American Smooth dances, like the waltz, and American Rhythm dances, like the chacha. International Styles are separated into International Standard, like the foxtrot, and International Latin, like the samba.

Lara Garty, founder and one of the head coaches of the team, got her inspiration to start the UT Ballroom Dance Team from her own experience as a competitive dancer during her years in college. She also helped start the ballroom team at the University of Michigan. After her role in beginning a dance program, she decided to bring her love of dance to UT. “I had so much fun competing in school,” Garty said. “I just wanted to make it more available to students.”

The team practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Student Aquatic Center. Although they have

rigorous practices scheduled through the week, some members of the team go above and beyond for the perfect routine, often seeking outside help from other dance teachers.

“We often practice outside of practice.

We go to local dance studios to the teachers there,” Noah Caldwell, president of the club and senior in physics and math, said. “We also have professional dance teachers from those studios come in and teach us the days we have team practices.”

Each school year, the team competes in the fall and spring semesters. While the team mainly competes in couple divisions, they have also won individual awards as well.

A week before Thanksgiving, the team will travel to Columbus, Ohio to compete in the Ohio Star Ball, one of the largest dance competitions in the nation. The competition is for all styles of ballroom dance at the professional, amateur and junior level. While the event lasts from Nov. 14 through 19, the UT team will only compete for the weekend events.

“We compete in the competition for two days,” Garty said. ”We also get tickets to the pre-show on Friday night and Saturday night so we get to watch the professionals compete as well.”

This year the team has a total of 32 members and are always open to new members, no matter their proficiency level. From students who have been dancing since they were young to students who have had no

Garty said she believes that the UT Ballroom Dance Team gives students the opportunity to meet and interact with new people as well as get a workout.

“I just wanted something to do — a place to find some friends,” Caldwell said. “We are welcoming of new people to make new friends.”

Journalism professor recognized for teaching quality, connecting with students Ali Kammona

Staff Writer Taped to the top left corner of School of Journalism and Electronic Media associate professor Lori Amber Roessner’s iMac computer screen are three small pieces of paper. Glancing around the room, the significance of these tiny post-it-sized notes is lost among the books and papers.

For Roessner, however, these notes carry substantial importance, even if they were from several years ago.

Looking down at the papers with a smile, she read each of them. Small, handwritten notes of only a few words — usually wishing a good Monday or referring to Roessner as “coach” — remained archived with scotch tape against a computer monitor.

In a way, these notes help to explain Roessner’s recent recognition by the American Journalism Historians Association and her 2017 National Award for Excellence in Teaching.

According to the College of Communication and Information, Roessner received the award due to her “use of experiential learning methods in teaching journalism and mass communication history, and her commitment to interdisciplinary work.”

The award operates through a system of nominations and recommendation letters that speak highly of those nominated and even more so of those selected to receive it.

“For the quality of my teaching to have been recognized by my students and my peers is a mark of distinction that I will always cherish,” Roessner said.

Some past and present students of Roessner’s classes agree that their experiences were unique.

Chelsea Babin, senior in journalism and electronic media, noted Roessner’s interest in the lives and well-being of her students.

“I actually like history, but she made it more enjoyable,” Babin said. “She genuinely cares about her students and tries to connect with them at the beginning of the semester.”

And Babin was not alone in this observation.

Ashley Slimp, senior in public relations, also noticed Roessner’s genuine care for students.

“It’s great having her for a professor,” Slimp said. “She’s really interesting and knowledgeable, and it’s obvious she cares about her students.”

Slimp went on to address the distinctive style of teaching that Roessner employs.

“She tells the history of journalism like a story instead of just bullet points to memorize,” Slimp said. “I’ve never been particularly interested in history classes, but hers is pretty engaging.”

Roessner credits her father, Earl Shaw, as one of the primary influences for her success in teaching. Shaw was a high school teacher at Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Ga. for 28 years before retiring in 2015.

“I think I get my style as a teacher, as a professor, from my father,” Roessner said. “I try to get know my students, and I try to cut up with them

Wellscommonality with all the teachers that I have, Barnett, a journalist, suffragist and civil rights throughout the course of my life, sought to emu- leader, who was an early leader in the Civil Rights Movement and one of the founders of late,” Roessner said.

Roessner’s accomplishments are not confined the National Association for the Advancement to the classroom. From book chapters to ency- of Colored People (NAACP).

Beacon Beats: Popular pop artist make comebacks Kygo - “Kids in Love”

ANTICIPATION: 4/5

With his hit “It Ain’t Me,” having been the only song I’ve heard

by Kygo, I expected the tracks in his new album to have a similar poppy, vibrant and abstract feel. With the album being titled “Kids in Love,” I wouldn’t say it’s too expectant of me to anticipate a lot of love songs.

DURING: 3/5

Sure enough, all the tracks on this album are love songs. They all had similar sounds, a catchy beat and encompassed the idea that Courtesy of iTunes youth love is very fleeting and free. The track that the album is named after, “Kids in Love,” had the most interesting sound. While still having the same catchy beat and theme of love, the piano base of it was something I wish he did more of throughout the rest of the album.

AFTER: 3/5

His album was exactly how I was expecting it to be. As always, the catchy dance rhythm and abstract lyrics of his songs catch people’s attention. While the album overall isn’t bad, I would have liked to see more diversity in the melodies and themes in the tracks.

Maroon 5 - “Red Pill Blues” ANTICIPATION: 5/5

Having grown up listening to Maroon 5, I’ve always had high expectations for their albums, and they never disappoint. Just like their band name, their album title “Red Pill Blues” makes one want to explore exactly why they named it just that.

DURING: 4/5

The album, while most of the tracks being solely Maroon 5, has many interesting collaborations, including Julia Michaels, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, A$AP Rocky, LunchMoney Lewis and Future. Courtesy of iTunes I particularly liked the collaboration with Julia Michaels in “Help Me Out,” since the song sounded completely different than the rest of the tracks.

AFTER: 4/5

Overall, though, the tracks stay true to Maroon 5’s style of what iTunes calls “80s inspired synths.” While every song basically had the theme of romantic love to it, Maroon 5 knows how to switch it up enough to make every song sound new and edgy.

Sam Smith - “The Thrill of It All” ANTICIPATION: 4/5

Known for his soulful hits “Stay With Me” and “I’m Not The Only One,” Smith tends to make songs about tragic love. With “Too Good at Goodbyes” co,img out a few weeks earlier, I expected this new album to be a lot like his previous one.

DURING: 5/5

Just like his previous album “In the Lonely Hour,” the tracks on this new album are very soulful. I still can’t help but marvel at Smith’s voice. Tracks like “One Last Song” showed just how big his Courtesy of iTunes vocal range is, with him going into falsetto a lot. While still soulful, “The Thrill of It All” gave a slightly different feel from “In the Lonely Hour,” by giving off a more fiery tone.

AFTER: 5/5

I had high anticipation for the album, and it didn’t disappoint. Not only is Smith’s voice just as flawless as ever, the entire album kept my attention and continued giving me pleasant surprises. I am already excited to see what more he has to share in his next album.

Chandler’s Deli offers good food, great service Eric Bailes

Staff Writer It may say “deli” on the sign, but do not be fooled.

Inside the walls of Chandler’s Deli, patrons can find some of the best home-cooked soul food in Knoxville. Those looking for some of the best fried chicken, ribs and macaroni in town need to look no further.

Open since 2000, Chandler’s Deli is owned and operated by Charles and Gwen Chandler.

Working about 12 hours a day, the husband-andwife team can almost always be seen behind the counter, cooking for and serving their guests.

Gwen does most of the cooking while Charles fetches supplies when needed. He does make a small amount of the food though, such as the macaroni, banana pudding and the coleslaw, to name a few.

Back in 2000, Charles Chandler was nearing retirement from K-25, but he was not quite ready to settle down quite yet. Instead, he and his wife pondered ideas for their next venture.

Originally, Charles Chandler wanted to cure country ham and season meat as a means of business since he had a farm up in Sevier County where he had been doing that for years.

Instead, Chandler’s — as everyone knows it today — came about when Charles Chandler was giving his daughter, Jennifer Braxton, a driving lesson and saw a “for sale” sign outside the old Taco Bell. The Chandlers didn’t really have a plan when they started, resulting in them being a deli for a very brief time.

“My wife and I had never fooled with restaurants,” Charles Chandler said. “We learned everything we know right here, trial and error.

But we had done a lot of big dinners at home for family … This is like an extension of what we have done at home.”

Gwen remembered that the idea was not farfetched, as her mom cooked a lot when she was

a child. She had no idea how much work it took to stay afloat in the restaurant business.

The bank later informed them that they had to use the entire building if they were to operate a restaurant at the location. Since the family did not know the art of making sandwiches well enough, they decided to do what they know best: making great soul food.

An interesting aspect of owning a former Taco Bell is that, according to a clause in the deed, Chandler’s cannot cook certain foods.

As Taco Bell, along with KFC and Pizza Hut, are owned by the same company, the company “protects their turf” by not allowing owners to sell foods typically served at these restaurants.

The Chandler’s realtor argued that if they did not sell fried chicken in the neighborhood the restaurant was located at, the property was not going to be sold.

“Running a restaurant, you come in contact with the ‘who’s who’ and the ‘who’s that’,” Charles Chandler said. “Sometimes you deal with the who’s who and who’s that at the same time, and you try to treat everybody professionally, courteously and all that, whether they’re the mayors or the best lawyers or corporate people or the people on the street.”

Charles Chandler describes the majority of the people who walk through the doors as “very personable.” However, he is often the most personable of all who walk into Chandler’s Deli.

When walking through the restaurant, he can talk a person’s ears off with stories of all the people he has met in the restaurant. Like the Southern food he serves, he welcomes everyone who comes through the door with the same southern hospitality.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to serve the people because I haven’t come from a service background,” Charles Chandler said. “Dealing with the public, not only do I need to give you good food, I want to make sure that you’re happy with your service, the food, the atmosphere and all that.”

Speaking of notable people that have come

Chandler’s Deli is located on 3101 E Magnolia Ave, Knoxville, TN. Cody Underwood / Contributor through the doors of the restaurant, Chandler’s has an impressive list of visitors, with pictures of them spread about the restaurant’s dining room. Some of the more notable people are Bill Haslam; The Temptations; Earth, Wind & Fire and many UT coaches.

The Chandler’s daughters help when they can but always pitch in when their parents are in need of an extra hand. They also help out with the restaurant’s seasoning company.

Braxton, one of the Chandler’s daughters, is in charge of product development and marketing for Chandler’s Seasonings.

When the time comes for Charles and Gwen Chandler to leave the restaurant business, Braxton says that the next step for the restaurant is to franchise it, which Charles fully sup-

ports of. The goal is to open only a few stores in the surrounding areas, like Sevierville, so that the feel of the original restaurant is not lost.

“I don’t want to get too far away … because when you franchise so many times … you get away from the originality,” Braxton said.

One of the better things about Chandler’s, besides the food, is that they offer affordable food at a location very close to campus. Perhaps the best thing, though, is the hospitality of the place. The atmosphere is warm and inviting; it feels like home.

“I kinda say it’s like ‘Cheers’ sometimes, “Braxton said. “The theme song said, ‘You wanna go where everybody knows your name’ and so it’s kinda like that … We want you to feel welcome like you’re part of the family.

Broadway gallery features Eric Sublett’s artwork Emily Lewellyn Contributor

During Nov., Knoxville locals can peruse the featured artwork of Eric Sublett at Broadway Studios and Gallery.

The exhibit is titled “Portrayals,” with works pulled from several decades. Inspired by the legacy of his father, Carl Sublett, who is a retired UT art professor, Sublett has followed his creative passions since childhood. He has developed a passion for art as well as the story it can tell and has never looked back.

Cynthia Tipton, facilitator of the exhibit open-

ing, described the process of choosing the gallery’s featured artists.

“We all sort of do it together. I pretty much organized this show; it was my suggestion to invite Eric. I was sort of the liaison and key in putting this together, but in general we do it all as a group,” Tipton said. “I’ve known (Eric) for about 25 years … I knew he hasn’t shown much on his own. He’s been taking care of his father’s estate and trying to continue showing his father’s work. So I thought it was time Eric had a show of his own.

“His father never really pushed art on him,” Tipton said, “but… his dad always said that everything is here and it is available to you if you want to use it. And he just picked it up. Always

being around his dad and having that exposure, I can only imagine it would come out in how he sees the world.”

Sublett’s work tends to include a form of layering, as in his watercolor piece “Swashbuckler Reverie.” At first glance, one may only see a swordsman on guard. After taking a step back, though, images of a castle, a unicorn and an opposing figure emerge.

Sublett’s talent is demonstrated in a variety of mediums. In fact, his piece “Doodle Monster” was created upon a brown paper bag.

One of the exhibit’s attendees, Chris Bradda, has been a fan of Sublett’s for some time.

“I’ve known Eric for a while now. He’s a staple in Knoxville’s art community,” Bradda

said. “He’s been here for a long time doing a lot of unique, innovative things, and his father was here doing the same things.

“I don’t know that I can describe some of his work. It’s all different. But this isn’t it. He did a lot of other things that were more in the social atmosphere like publications that I don’t see here,” Bradda said. “I think (his work) is pretty vast, from video, photograph, muslin... (to) colored pencil (and) watercolor. I love Eric Sublett as a person and an artist in general.”

The gallery’s social atmosphere and subtle jazz tunes set the tone for the exhibit opening on Friday, Nov. 3. Sublett’s work will continue to be displayed through Nov. 25.

What if we couldn’t feel fear?

Even though Halloween is over, fear isn’t. Scary movies will continue to be produced, and walking alone at night will still slightly scare us. But what if we couldn’t feel fear?

There are probably many times in life when someone wishes they did not experience fear: while giving a speech, before taking an exam or in anticipation of asking someone out on a date.

Lesioning studies have taught us plenty about the amygdala, the almond-shaped structure in our brain that causes us to feel fear, but a rare disease can change whether we feel fear in the first place.

Urbach-Wiethe disease (UWD) is a disorder that causes damage to the amygdala, and it completely inhibits the instinctual fear processing that prevents us from touching poisonous snakes and gets our hearts racing when we watch scary movies. It’s characterized by lipoid proteinosis, which Genetics Home Reference describes as “the formation of numerous small clumps (deposits) of proteins and other molecules in various tissues throughout the body.” Rachel Feltman, author of “Meet the woman who can’t feel fear,” notes that individuals with UWD typically have these deposits

Anu Kumar Brain Rules

around their eyelids, possess raspy/hoarse voices and have calcium deposits present in their brains.

The condition has not been widely studied because of its extreme rarity. One woman, who has been interviewed and studied for a while, uses the codename “SM,” and most of our knowledge of this disease comes from her contributions. In Feltman’s article, she states that about only 400 people worldwide suffer from UWD. A life without fear may seem ideal; however, it is full of dangers that one wouldn’t even realize.

Fear is one of our fundamental emotions. It is a reason that animals can survive in their environment — if they fear the very things that can kill them, then they will attempt to avoid these threats to stay alive. Even though most of us do not live the “kill or be killed” lives like our ancestors once did, we still tend to avoid things that we fear. A properly working amygdala and fear pathway system was favored as we continued to evolve as a species.

As Laura Sanders writes in her article “Rare Brain Disorder Prevents All Fear,” SM has the opposite problem — she does not fear the things that are threats

Serial killers in Knoxville Ellie Dougherty

East Tennessee’s Hidden History

The notorious Harpe Brothers are considered by many to be America’s first serial killers.

Micajah, also known as “Big Harpe,” and Wiley, called “Little Harpe,” went on a nine-month murdering spree in 1798, beginning in Knoxville.

The brothers, who may have actually been cousins, ardently supported the Crown during the Revolutionary War. Jon Musgrave’s 1998 article, “Frontier Serial Killers: The Harpes” claims that the two were natives of Scotland who had emigrated with their parents to America as young children. When they grew up, the pair traveled from East Tennessee to Kentucky with their three “wives” and several children, leaving mayhem in their wake.

The first recorded encounter with the Harpes occurred somewhere along Wilderness Road on the outskirts of Knoxville. The brothers emerged from the woods and ambushed William Lambuth, a traveling preacher, ordering him down from his horse. Without saying another word, they rifled through his belongings.

The Harpe Brothers remained silent until they opened Lambuth’s Bible. Inside the front cover was written the preacher’s name and, underneath it, “George Washington.” Upon seeing this, Big Harpe exclaimed, “That is a brave and good man, but a mighty rebel against the King!” Following this, two silent, bedraggled women, the Harpes’ “wives,” emerged from the woods. The four gathered up the things pilfered from Lambuth, including his horse, and retreated back into the forest, shouting, “We are the Harpes!”

In his 1930 work, “The Outlaw Years: The History of the Land Pirates of the Natchez Trace,” Robert M. Coates writes that Lambuth was one of few people

who encountered the Harpe Brothers and lived to tell the tale.

The Harpes’ murdering rampage began in 1798 at Hughes Tavern on the outskirts of Knoxville. The Harpes frequently patronized the establishment and knew the owner well. A man named Johnson happened to be at the tavern the night the Harpes visited.

His body was found floating in the Holston River a few days later. His abdomen had been cut open and the organs removed. The cavity was filled with stones in a failed attempt to sink the body. Though it is now known that the Harpes were behind the murder, they were never charged, as local authorities at the time believed that the owner of Hughes Tavern was to blame.

Of course, the Harpes’ crimes didn’t end there. They left Knoxville and headed for Kentucky, committing more crimes on their journey. At an inn in Little Rock Castle, Kentucky, the pair met Stephen Langford, who generously paid for the group’s food and lodging.

A few days later, Langford’s body was found in the woods. The innkeeper pointed the authorities toward the Harpes.

By this time the pair had also acquired a third “wife,” whom they shared just as they shared the other two women. Not long after, all three women, sisters Susan and Betsey Roberts and Sarah Rice, found themselves pregnant.

On Christmas Day in 1798, the Harpes and their pregnant women were caught and jailed in Stanford, Ky. In Jan. 1799, they were transferred to a jail in Danville known for being impossible to escape.

Unsurprisingly, the Harpes managed to escape. During the ensuing manhunt, they managed to murder several more people between Knoxville and Kentucky, including an entire family and their slaves. A Nashville Scene

to her health and survival. When SM was out with a group of researchers and taken to a pet store, she didn’t feel uneasy when near animals such as snakes or spiders. In fact, she felt curious and asked if she could touch them.

The amygdala isn’t the sole proprietor of fear, but in SM’s case, it is shown that it plays a central role in fear processing. Fear processing pathways primarily involve the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. It was historically thought that the amygdala was an important facet of the fear pathway, but it wasn’t recognized as the crucial part we now believe it is.

While fear can be extremely crippling in some situations, it is a very necessary conscious feeling that has kept our species surviving and thriving. So next time you see a potential threat, such as a dangerous animal, be thankful your amygdala is preventing your desire to befriend it.

article in 2013 describes the carnage the Harpes left in their wake, stating that “killing to the Harpes has become almost an instantaneous reflex, unthinking and spasmatic.”

In Aug. of 1799, Macajah Harpe murdered his own infant daughter because she would not stop crying.

A few weeks later, the Harpes ended up staying for a night with the family of Moses Stegall in Henderson County, Ky. Moses was away on business, and the Harpes murdered his family before breakfast the next morning, including their infant son and their houseguest. After sitting down to enjoy the breakfast that Moses’s wife prepared, surrounded by bodies, they burned the cabin to the ground.

The Harpes were finally caught on Aug. 24, 1799,

by Moses Stegall and his posse. Wiley Harpe managed to escape, but Micajah was killed and beheaded.

His head was nailed to a tree at a fork in the road in Henderson County and apparently hung there for years. Wiley Harpe was caught a couple of years later by a man named Bowman, whom he had stabbed at Hughes Tavern in Knoxville in 1798 just before their first Knoxville murder. He was tried and hanged for his crimes. The three women and their children somehow managed to return to normal lives.

The infamous Harpes would become legends in Knoxville for decades. A Knoxville News Sentinel article from June 26, 1970, describes an incident at Goldrush Junction, which is now Dollywood, in which the Harpes attacked a train on its way to the signing of the Iron Mountain Treaty. Talk about the Harpes isn’t as prevalent these days, but they are certainly one of the darker parts of Knoxville’s past.

FOOTBALL

Vols snap four-game losing streak on homecoming Damichael Cole

Asst. Sports Editor The Tennessee Volunteers came into their homecoming with just six scholarship offensive linemen.

In the second quarter, Jarrett Guarantano was hurt and they were down to their final scholarship quarterback.

Despite these limitations, the Vols managed to snap their four-game losing streak and defeated the Southern Miss Golden Eagles 24-10.

“I think our team showed some grit, some resolve,” Butch Jones said.

The offense also lost their top wide receiver Marquez Callaway, who had 53 yards receiving before his injury.

With the offensive players falling like raindrops, the defense had to ice the game.

In one of their best performances of the

year, the Vols held the Golden Eagles to just 10 points.

As has been the case most of the season, the pass defense only allowed 161 yards through the air, most of those coming on a 70-yard catch that led to a Southern Miss field goal.

The Vols rush defense hasn’t been as good this season. Coming into the game against the Golden Eagles, they had allowed 252.3 yards a game, 125th in the nation.

On Saturday night in Neyland Stadium, the run defense came to life as they only allowed 118 rushing yards.

“The (Southern Miss) running back is a really dynamic football player,” Jones said.“ We really challenged our guys up front to change the line of scrimmage.”

At the half, the Vols led 10-3 without much production from their offense, mainly because of the injuries.

In the second half, the defense took it up another notch.

On back-to-back drives in the third quarter, the defense forced turnovers, leading to two touchdowns.

The first turnover was an interception by Emmanuel Moseley, his first of the season.

Following that interception, John Kelly rushed for a 20-yard touchdown, his first since the UMass game.

“It’s always nice to have JK (John Kelly) back there,” Trey Smith said. “He’s so aggressive; his mentality rubs off on the entire team.”

The second turnover was a sack by Darrell Taylor that caused a fumble. Since returning from his two-game suspension, Taylor has been very active.

“He’s played pretty well since he’s been back,” Kendall Vickers said. “It’s (the suspension) actually probably improved his play a little bit.”

With another short field, Kelly punched in his second touchdown on a two-yard touchdown run.

In the second half, the Vols went with Will McBride at quarterback after Guarantano suffered an ankle injury. McBride played a drive in the first half, but Guarantano tried to return.

For the game, McBride was 1-for-8 through the air, with 13 yards passing.

The game was McBride’s first game experience of the season, meaning he will no longer redshirt.

“He’s like a sponge out there,” Kelly said.

“Even at practice, he’s just soaking it all in. We knew he was going to be confident when he got the chance to go in there.”

For the defense, they knew that they had to step up after the loss of Guarantano, and it was an integral part of the victory.

“It was huge,” Jones said. “The field position was key. It sparked some momentum and we needed them to step up and they were able to do it.”

With the win, the Vols will move to 4-5, inching closer to a bowl berth.

VOLLEYBALL

Shoulder injury not enough to sideline Grubbs, affect play Will Backus

Staff Writer

Sophomore outside hitter Tessa Grubbs has been a standout player on the court for the Tennessee volleyball team this year.

Grubbs ranks fourth on the team in kills with 137 and is averaging an impressive 2.80 kills per set. However, the former freshman All-SEC player isn’t in the starting lineup for the Lady Vols.

She hasn’t even played in every game this season.

Grubbs missed the first seven matches of the season, nursing a shoulder injury suffered last year. Grubbs didn’t see her first action until Sept. 16 against USC Upstate.

According to head coach Rob Patrick, she still isn’t fully ready to go.

“She’s not even close to being 100 percent,” Patrick said. “That’s what, for us, is really exciting, that she can play at this level and help this team when she’s not one hundred percent.”

As a freshman, Grubbs had an All-SEC caliber season. She averaged 3.60 kills per set, finishing with 320 on the year. She also had 46 total blocks and finished with a hitting percentage of .275.

However, her stellar season was cut short by injury.

“The injury, kind of, was a setback mentally for me just because I was a freshman when it happened,” Grubbs said.

Grubbs went through spring training without realizing the severity of her injury. During a spring tournament, though, she realized something was wrong.

“At a spring tournament was when it really got to me,” Grubbs said. “Having the surgery was kind of eye-opening, how much you missed the game, and how much it takes to get back.”

And it did take a lot to get back. Grubbs spent almost all of the summer mini-term recovering so she could get back on the court with her team.

According to Patrick, the work that Grubbs put in during her recovery was crucial, even if it wasn’t easily noticeable.

“The one most impressive thing that nobody saw was the work she put in to be where she is now,” Patrick said. “She stayed here during the mini-term break in May when everybody was home.

“Everybody was relaxing with their families, she stayed here and five days a week she was in there two, three hours rehabbing.”

Her motivation for recovery was simple: she wanted to be back out with her team. The sophomore from Tega Cay, South Carolina has a love for the game and for her team that pushed her during her recovery.

“I did it for all of this, for the moment I get to step back on the court,” Grubbs said. “That was ... the best feeling I have ever had.”

She is already a force for Tennessee, despite the injury limitations. In her return against USC Upstate, Grubbs had seven kills and one

Grubbs has led the team in kills in multiple matches this season, notching a season-high 20 against Mississippi State earlier this year.

She also had an impressive hitting percentage against Arkansas, finishing with .538.

Grubbs feels that she’ll be back to full tilt soon.

“I’ve been strengthening a lot more,” Grubbs

said. “It’s not just so much of getting range of motion back, it’s strengthening and preparing to be 100 percent. And this spring gives me a good opportunity to get back into the rehab part of it and just finish rehabbing.”

Patrick and the rest of the Lady Vols’ roster will be more than happy to have a fully-ready Tessa Grubbs back in the rotation as they seek a strong finish to what has been a shaky year.
