Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. He is host of "The Geoff Calkins Show" from 9-11 a.m. M-F on 92.9 FM. Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
The Tigers shot just 2 of 19 from deep against Christian Brothers Sunday. That’s the bad news. The good news? They have Kendric Davis. And that may be enough.
