COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – There are many roles when it comes to building a team. From top to bottom, every single one of those roles are important. Case in point – Tennessee Tech senior linebacker Bryson Tolley. The Erwin, Tenn., native spent countless hours juggling his class schedule with clinicals for his nursing program, team meetings and practice. But it is his dedication and enthusiasm to make the team better that garnered him a selection as April’s Tech Athletics Unsung Leader award winner.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech head coach Dewayne Alexander's had quite a few big wins in his career. His 50th however may mean a lot more to him. As the Golden Eagles recognized their seven 2020-21 seniors before Saturday's game against Tennessee State, Tech built on that momentum, surging to a 14-0 lead and never looking back as the Golden Eagles topped the visiting Tigers 24-10. "Our guys have fought hard this season, they've been resilient," Alexander said. "We knew if we could pull together four quarters and play Golden Eagle football, we can certainly play with anybody. We've shown that. We had some tough games this season and I'm really proud of the way our team has responded."
