ETSU vs. Vols Baseball:
On March 7 at 6:30 p.m., Thomas Stadium across from the ETSU campus will be hosting the Bucs vs. Vols baseball game. The legendary basketball game against the Bucs and Vols on Dec. 22 had a great turnout, and it’s likely that the baseball game will be no different. It seems that ETSU and UTK will be playing more games with other as the seasons continue through the years. The ETSU baseball team is up in their wins. As the rivals face off, ETSU will not back down from the challenge. Admission will be free for students.
‘Logan’:
The new Wolverine movie is coming this spring break! Premiering March 3 at theaters everywhere, this spin-off from the original “X-Men” and “Wolverine” movies has a high budget of $127 million. No expenses were spared in the making of this movie. Hugh Jackson is back as the Wolverine, though this time a bit older and weathered. As he is taking care of Professor X, now a dying old man, he must ensure the safety of a young girl who has the same abilities as Logan. The fear of every mutant has come to life when people begin to hunt down the little girl in order to use her as a weapon. In this thrilling action, Logan must learn what it means to hold the life of a young girl in his hands and protect this third from the threats of the world.

Beach Boys:
The 1960s has returned, and the Beach Boys are coming to Johnson City! For all of you with a secret love for the Beach Boys, this is your opportunity to see them live!
