Help us send off Tennessee High School's Viking Robotics team as they begin their journey to the 2026 MATE ROV Underwater Robotics World Championship in Newfoundland, Canada!

Join us at the Tri-Cities Regional Airport terminal on Monday, June 22, at 8:30 a.m. to cheer on these talented students as they represent Tennessee High School, Bristol, and Tennessee on the international stage.

The team earned its place at the world championship after an outstanding performance at the regional competition, finishing just one point behind the first-place team. As the Marooned Mariners, these students have designed, built, marketed, and tested an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) while managing all aspects of a simulated engineering company.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the many individuals and organizations whose generosity and support helped make this opportunity possible. Special thanks to Advance Bristol, Logan McCabe, Renasant Bank, Wallace Imports, Tim Baker, Ed Hill, Jerry and Kim Kirk, Cathy Mullins, Just Commercial Real Estate, William Burriss, Shane Roberts, and J.A. Street for investing in our students and helping them reach the world stage.

Your encouragement and support mean the world to these students and their families. Thank you for helping make this incredible opportunity a reality.

Good luck, Marooned Mariners! We are proud of you and can't wait to see all you accomplish in Newfoundland!

Special event to honor S H A M A S.
PLEASE SHARE..he’s excited!!
I’ve gotten some messages asking if I know how Shamas Dougherty is doing since he’s not been out and about recently.

So, I reached out to his sister to find out!

“How special to know that people do miss seeing him around town,” Ronan King told me.
“Shamas has had to retire from the YMCA after 60 years of service, so he is here at home and is very happy and doing well. He has developed a balance issue. He can walk well, but needs someone beside him so he doesn’t get off-balance and fall.”

Ronan also shared with me that there’s going to be a special salute to him!!
👇👇👇

It is official! You can say hi to Shamas during the Tennessee High and Virginia High tire flip next Friday, June 12.

They will flip the tire down State Street and end right there at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and State Street.

They stop at the light before you get to the train station or the Bristol sign.

Shamas will be right there on State Street at the end of the Tri Star Spine and Sports chiropractic parking lot at 126 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

The actual tire flip starts at 6 PM, but Shamas will be there early and is hoping people will stop by to see him!! He’s so excited! PLEASE SHARE!
