It is always a close game when Greenfield plays Trace, but this year it was different than the previous few. The two teams were so evenly matched, even more so than than in the past. There were twenty minutes remaining in the second half and the Panthers were winning 1-0, but the game was even more highly

Cole Holbrook and Devin Reich stated the reason for their success was just knowing each other which made them play with confidence.

Saint Thomas Health consists of eight facilities that could all use improvements in the physical layout, but the Rutherford campus could use a significant change in the materials operating room department. The layout design could improve the efficiencies and production of the departments (Junell, 2011). The current structure has the operating room on the second floor and the supply chain department on the first floor. When Saint Thomas built the hospital, the idea was that the materials department would be responsible for delivering the supplies to the operating room.
