Good Morning! With the Border Country Sports Report, I'm Keith Harrigton.
It's good to be beack home after a family vacation in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I haven't been able to write the last couple of days as I was making the 15 hour drive home. Vacation is always great, but it is nice to be back in the routine.
