Holly Warlick was a Knoxville native who wasnt actually that much younger than Pat Summitt -- just six years. Yet Warlick became the lifelong pupil, the woman who, as much as anyone, cherished, guarded and maintained the Lady Vols legacy that Summitt built.In 1980 she became Summitts first All-American, and was the first Tennessee player to have her number retired. For many years, she was perennially atop the list of assistant coaches who could become head coaches.But other than four years split between Virginia Tech and Nebraska at the start of her coaching career, Warlick never left home. In 2012, Warlick became head coach of her hometown Lady Vols. But a part of her home, and her heart, is gone now.We had such a strong connection, Warlick said during a teleconference Tuesday morning after it was announced that Summitt, 64, had passed away from the effects of Alzheimers disease.We shared so much outside of basketball. Honestly, I didnt see me coaching anywhere else but Tennessee.Warlick became an assistant coach at her alma mater in 1985, and was at Summitts side for every one of Tennessees eight NCAA titles. And after Summitts diagnosis of early onset dementia, Alzheimers type in 2011, Warlick essentially took over all the duties of being a head coach without getting the title. In fact, Warlick insisted right up until Summitt stepped down in April 2012 that Summitt was still the head coach.It was a sincere, heartfelt sense of loyalty that Warlick always kept front and center throughout her career working for Summitt. And now, facing the rest of her coaching days and life without her mentor, Warlick looks to hold onto all the moments they had together.She taught me what character and integrity means, Warlick said. I think probably the most important thing she taught me is not letting anything break your spirit.If there was ever a time that might have happened to Summitt, it was when she got the horrible diagnosis that she knew would end her career and her life prematurely. But Summitt refused to let that happen; she started the Pat Summitt Foundation, was head coach emeritus at Tennessee, and did all she could -- until her final days -- to continue to positively impact the world around her.She put it out there -- she said, Its not a pity party, Warlick said. We all knew what this disease does. But she put her life out there. Its always what Pats done. Its all about awareness. What better stage for Alzheimers to be on than with Pat, because of how hard she fights her battles.What do you do? Whats the best way to find a cure for this disease? Thats what Pat wanted to do. She didnt want to hide from it. She wanted to continue to have an impact. Maybe not so much to help her, but to help people in the future.Warlick pointed out that it was the very same mentality that Summitt always had in regard to coaching womens basketball.Look at the players who are afforded the opportunity to play in big arenas, to get scholarships, to have a per diem, Warlick said. Its due to a lot of the foundation, the groundwork, that was laid. Her outspoken awareness of her disease is going to do nothing but lay the groundwork for people to come.Pat always wanted to give women opportunity. Pat exemplified being tough, and then showing love. And thats hard to do. I know what shes meant for the Lady Vols; this is what she built. She afforded a lot of people the opportunity to say, One day, I want to coach. I want to be like Pat Summitt. Pat was a model that a lot of people used to help start their program.Even on a day when Warlick acknowledged her heart was broken, she also remembered what an incredibly funny person Summitt was, too, and the way theyd tease each other.Pat and I talked a lot about her career and my career, Warlick said. I had great opportunities to go, but I just thought, It just doesnt get any better than this. She and I used to joke, and Id say, You know, Summitt, Im going to be pushing you up in your wheelchair to the court. And shed say, Youre going to be sitting right next to me. And I said, Absolutely.?Its a very sad day, but I reflect back on all the lives shes touched. It simply amazes me the impact Pats made in so many peoples lives. Adidas NMD Mens Black and White .

Wells robbed Reed Johnson of a home run in the eighth inning to help the Chicago White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Sunday. With the White Sox leading 3-1, Wells leaped up against the left-field wall to make a spectacular catch and rob Johnson of the game-tying homer. "I didnt know at first, I was just glad I caught it, you know. And then I saw the replay and I was like, wow that, you know, that was really special. I never did anything like that before. So, like I said Im just happy I got to help the team out in that situation and the moment that it happened made it that much more special," said Wells. Initially, Johnson did not think he hit it well enough to get it out of the park. "No, I hit it OK. I knew that the ball was travelling pretty good all weekend, so when I hit it I was kind of begging for it to get up. I didnt crush it, but obviously in that situation theyre probably, I would assume, in the eighth inning hes playing pretty deep almost in no doubles anyway, so that made it a little easier play for him. I hit that ball earlier in the game, its probably a homer because hes probably playing me a lot shallower, you now? So, it was kind of everything," said Johnson. Wells catch was several great defensive plays by the White Sox. Alex Rios added two hits and an RBI for Chicago and Jose Quintana (5-2) scattered nine hits in 5 2-3 innings for the win. White Sox relievers Ramon Troncoso and Donnie Veal each retired the two batters they faced and Nate Jones pitched a scoreless eighth. Closer Addison Reed pitched scoreless ninth for his 25th save in 29 chances. Braves starter Mike Minor (9-5) pitched his first career complete game in2 the loss as the Braves dropped two out of three to the White Sox. Minor allowed three runs, two earned on five hits. He struck out eight and walked two. "That was my first complete game. That was not the way I wanted it to end, but it was a lot better than I thouught it was going to end up, because the first inning was I couldnt really feel anything, I was missing a lot of spots," said Minor.dddddddddddd The Braves had bases loaded and no outs in the second inning, but failed to score. Dan Uggla struck out and Brian McCann was caught off second base on Reed Johnsons line out. The Braves loaded the bases with two outs in the third inning and could not score again. Second baseman Jeff Keppinger made a diving stop on Brian McCanns ball and threw him out at first. "McCann is a pull hitter. He looks like hes trying to drive everything to right field so I was more likely to go to my left than I was to my right. If he hits that ball to my right, I probably aint getting it. So I was anticipating something to be at me or to my left and I dont know. I just kind of went after it and it happened to fall in my glove," said Keppinger. In the first inning, Adam Dunn beat the defensive shift with a two-out single through the left side of the infield to score Alejandro De Aza. De Aza led off the third with a double and Rios blooped a single with the infield drawn in to score De Aza. Trailing 2-0 in the fifth, Evan Gattis lined a single an off third baseman Brent Morels glove to score Chris Johnson. The White Sox added an insurance run in the sixth inning on Dayan Viciedos sacrifice fly.
