Best Middle Tennessee Preps Alum

The pride of Overton High School — and TSSAA bowling state champion — Mookie Betts has had quite an eventful offseason. Rather than rightly paying Betts his due for being one of the emerging superstars in professional baseball, the Boston Red Sox made the inexplicable decision to trade him to the World Series-ready Los Angeles Dodgers. That team signed him to a 12-year extension worth $365 million. Betts continues to be one of Nashville’s most accomplished homegrown athletes, and in L.A., he’ll be compensated for his otherworldly talents on the baseball diamond. CORY WOODROOF
