County Education Director Cedrick Gray, Bernard Williams, chief probation officer of Memphis-Shelby County Juvenile Court, and Jerri Green, an assistant county attorney and policy adviser to Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, sit down with Eric Barnes and reporter Bill Dries to take a deep dive into their approaches to helping at risk youths. The Memphis Grizzlies first game in Round 2 of the NBA playoff series was a close loss, but they certainly made a recovery. In this week’s first edition of the Grizzlies Podcast, columnist Chris Herrington and beat writer Drew Hill break down what a comeback woud look like and discuss individual players. Paul McCoy and Steven Fox, both from Humanities Tennessee, joined Eric Barnes on The Sidebar to talk about how they supported arts and culture in the middle of a pandemic. Columnist Chris Herrington called Ja Morant’s performance in Game 2 in Round 2 of their series against the Golden State Warriors his best game to date. He and beat writer Drew Hill dig into the game as a whole, including Morant’s season record-setting clutch time and Dillon Brooks' flagrant foul.
