Yesterday afternoon, students traveled to several locations around Nashville for service day, dressed up for “the Event” and attended a hypnotist show. Service day is when Quest leaders take students around Nashville to participate in clean-ups, organizing, entertainment and so many other things to serve the community around Nashville. Some of the places students served at were: Radnor lake, Project C.U.R.E., Glencliff High School, Habitat Re-Store, Rocketown, Shelby Bottoms, Southerland Place and many others. “The Event” is the black and white with a pop of color dinner where the Quest Team serves the students. There is live entertainment and a photo booth available at dinner as well. The hypnotist show by Brian Imbus has become a Quest Week staple through the years and guaranteed entertainment for all. Imbus brings students onto the stage to hypnotize them as well as offering the audience a chance to be hypnotized in their seats. Quest night two was full of entertainment and we’ve got another gallery full of it. « ‹ of 2 › »...

Rob Marberry, one of the leaders of the Lipscomb basketball team that made it to the NIT semis this year, is taking his basketball talents to Estonia. On Wednesday, the Nashville native and standout forward who played high school ball for Franklin Road Academy, agreed to a deal with Estonian team KK Paulus Pärnu. KK Paulus Pärnu, which is also known as Pärnu Sadam, is a member of the Latvian-Estonian Basketball League. When asked whether he thought that he would ever have the opportunity to play professionally, Marberry’s reply was “Honestly, no.” “Looking back on high school, I didn’t have any indication on whether I would be a good college basketball player or not,” he said. “I had a rough patch my freshman year, not producing as much as I wanted to on the court. But, as time went on and I worked harder and harder, I saw it come in my vision.” After graduating from FRA in 2014, Marberry played his freshman season at Western Kentucky as a walk-on for the Hilltoppers before transferring to Lipscomb, where he started all three seasons he played. As a starter for the Bisons, he was an all-conference player in all three seasons, including first-team selections in his junior and senior years. Marberry was a member of the first Bison team to make it to the NCAA tournament as well as the first Bison team to play in the NIT Finals. In his senior campaign, he averaged 14.8 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game, while shooting 63 percent from the field. “You can see that we were a really good,...
