The next episode of the Mo Show Live will air Friday, January 3rd, 2020 at 3:00 PM and will feature Spencer Beaty, head men’s basketball coach of the Carter High School Hornets, located in Knox County, Tennessee. Morris and Coach Beaty will be discussing high school basketball, player development, and their upcoming Coaches vs. Cancer game benefiting the American Cancer Society. This episode will also feature a few of Coach Beaty’s players.
Coach Beaty was named the Hornets men’s head coach in 2018. He has previously coached the Sequoyah High School women’s basketball team and Gatlinburg-Pittman men’s basketball team where he was voted Coach of the Year. Coach Beaty was a four-year starter for Maryville College men’s basketball team, where Morris Lilienthal played football. After graduation, Coach Beaty stayed on at Maryville College as an associate head coach.
On January 24th, 2020, Coach Beaty’s Hornets will be participating in the Union County game in conjunction with Coaches vs. Cancer and Suits and Sneakers, which is sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and college basketball. Halftime will feature a “fill the bucket” campaign to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since 1993, coaches have raised nearly $100 million for the American Cancer Society. Knoxville TVA Credit Union is sponsoring the game and further donating towards the cause.

In a move possibly inspired by neighboring state Georgia, Alabama is considering the same type of distracted driving law implemented in July for the entire state of Georgia. This law made it illegal for drivers to hold their phone, GPS, tablet, or any device while driving—or even while the driver is stopped at a red light. Rather than being called a “no-texting” law, the proposed bill would be known as a distracted driving law, with a first offense carrying a $50 fine, adding two points to an Alabama driver’s license. A second offense would add three points to a driver’s license—the same number of points as many other driving violations, including speeding. In the state of Alabama, racking up 12-14 points on a driver’s license during a specific length of time can result in a license suspension.
It is impossible to overly stress the importance of seeing a doctor after any kind of accident. From slipping on a wet floor to a car wreck, having a doctor examine your injuries is vital not only for your personal health but also from a legal standpoint.
