House Fire in Spring Hill’s Lexington Farms Subdivision

From Spring Hill Fire Department’s Facebook post on August 10th:

On Friday evening “…our firefighters responded to a devastating house fire in the Lexington Farms Subdivision. While one home was unfortunately a total loss, the quick actions of our firefighters saved two neighboring homes. We are relieved to report that all families made it out safely, and there were no injuries.  

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Williamson Health EMS for keeping a close watch on our firefighters during the incident. A big thank you goes out to SHPD, Columbia Fire & Rescue Truck 5, and Williamson Ecom for their exceptional assistance.  

Additionally, we are grateful to Maury County Fire and Williamson County Fire/Rescue for covering our city's other emergencies while we focused on the fire.

One thing that stood out to us was the overwhelming concern shown by our community members. Your support and care for the safety of all first responders are truly appreciated. Thank you to each and every one of you.”

🏐 Apex Boys Volleyball Club: Tryouts August 17

Apex Boys Volleyball Club, founded in 2023, is more than just a club—it's a movement bringing the exciting world of boys' volleyball to our community.

As the only competitive boys' volleyball club south of Nashville, Apex is pioneering the sport for young men in our region. The club offers both indoor and beach volleyball opportunities for boys aged 10 to 18, filling a gap in local sports offerings.

Under the leadership of Tim Cooper, the club's director and co-founder, Apex Boys Volleyball has seen tremendous growth in its first year. Tim, a seasoned volleyball player and coach with nearly a decade of coaching experience, brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine love for the sport. His vision extends beyond just teaching volleyball; it's about shaping well-rounded individuals who excel on and off the court.

At Apex, young men are challenged to become leaders in all aspects of life. They learn to compete wholeheartedly, win with humility, and face defeats with dignity.

What sets Apex apart is its commitment to holistic development. Coached by former collegiate players, the athletes enjoy engaging practices and competitive games while being part of a supportive community. Cooper's experience is particularly inspiring—he's coached players from age 7 to 60+ and even led two teams overseas to Thailand and Ivory Coast for competitions and humanitarian work.

The club offers a comprehensive program that includes a full Fall season from August to February, Beach Volleyball in June and July, indoor camps, and private lessons.

Looking ahead, Apex Boys Volleyball plans to expand within Maury County and surrounding areas, advocating for boys volleyball in schools and working closely with the TN Boys Volleyball Association to establish school teams. This club is not just about volleyball; it's about creating opportunities, building character, and nurturing future leaders.

Tryouts: August 10 & 17
Available for ages 10-18yrs old. No previous experience necessary, just a desire to learn one of the most exciting and fun sports around.
