Are you a college basketball fan? The Bates are! Yesterday was opening night, and Lawson Bates had the honor of singing the National Anthem at the University of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. And this isn't the first time that Lawson has shared his musical talents with Tennessee sports fans. Below is a video of his performance in February 2016.

It turned out to be a great night for the Vols and the Bates. The Vols beat Lenoir-Rhyne, and Lawson had the cutest supporters on the block (see photo above).
