The Creators
Charles "C.Y." Peters
Peters was a TSSAA official, associated with football, basketball and baseball, for 30 years. He was also a professional wrestler for more than 25 years, receiving an induction to the Tennessee Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Southern States Hall of Fame.
He formerly held the office of president of the Stoney Creek Youth Club and was a founder of the Watauga Jr. Athletic League.  Peters was the publisher of the Double Play Sports Weekly and has recognized many youth athletes in the weekly publication. He has written for several newspapers, covering sports from youth leagues to college and pro games. His goal has been and remains to promote sports in Carter County.

Jamie Combs
A regional sportswriter for 25-plus years, Combs currently serves in the role of sports editor for the Elizabethton Star.

Following a seven-month break from the newspaper business, Combs was hired by the Johnson City Press to work as a sportswriter - a position he held for just over 4 1/2 years.
