Well, 1100 Broadway, or at least the sports part of 1100 Broadway, is about to get a lot better. Larry Taft has been named the new sports editor! Larry was a sports writer at The Tennessean from 1977 to 1997, worked for the TSSAA for a year or so, then returned to The Tennessean, where’s he’s been ever since.

Larry has what I would call encyclopedic knowledge of sports in general, local prep sports in particular. Some people have photographic memories….Larry doesn’t have a photographic memory in general, but he sure seems to when it comes to sports.

Larry is a good guy and passionate about Tennessee prep sports and Tennessee sports and sports history in general, so expect good things ahead from The Tennessean’s Sports section.
