Apology Accepted

My favorite event...

Next Saturday is an event that I look forward to the entire year - Fall-In-To Paris.

This annual activity is sponsored by the Paris Area Chamber of Commerce and numerous local merchants.

This year we are privileged to have an amazing lady as the lead entertainment. Becky Blackaby and her band will be playing two shows - one at 11:30 a.m., and the other at 1 p.m.

Joining Mrs. Blackaby in entertaining the crowd will be the melodic voices of Spiritual Sounds and the always entertaining and fun Taylor Ross.

There will be other activities during the day to participate in or just view.

Kicking off the day the Chamber will have breakfast beginning at 6:30 a.m, followed by the Extreme 5K beginning at 7:30 a.m.

The always entertaining Little Miss and Mr. Contest begins at 8:30 a.m., and all contestants will ride the train in the parade, which begins at 9:15 a.m.

After the parade there will be free train rides and free time in the bounce house. The Paris Area Chamber of Commerce pays for four hours of

I have come to realize as a parent that not only will there be times my children apologize to me but there will also be times I will apologize to them. I have told them numerous times that I am not perfect and that I make mistakes just like them. I sometimes raise my voice too much.

(Okay, wait a minute, let me be real here.) I sometimes YELL too much. I sometimes overreact to something they have done.

I sometimes sit back when I need to stand up and I sometimes stand up when I need to sit back.

Well, last Sunday after church was one of those times I had to apologize to my children and also to my husband. The days leading up to Sunday I had been on edge. I got frustrated at the littlest of things. I was complaining a lot and get-

There will be vendors stretched around the courthouse selling food and craft items.

At 12:20 p.m., the chamber members will recognize the 2014 Business and Individual of he Year.

Also on hand at FITP is the annual chili contest, a chance to show local residents who makes the best chili! Is it you?

Closing out the annual festival is the 13th annual Middle Fork Duck Race sponsored by the Paris Lions Club.

Thank you to all the merchants who help put on this festival.

Fairs and Festivals are the life blood of small towns. They help bring people to town and help with an influx of money and visitors.

Have a great time have fun - enjoy the day!

MY TURN The Old Way Was Better

We, as Americans, have had a foreign policy that assumes that we have some duty to offer aid and protection to people that live under repressive leaders. This included recently our efforts in Iraq, Libya and Syria. These forays in the Middle East have set aside the old order with its respect for sovereignity and for borders with idealism taking over from a realistic approach of what could be accomplished by our intervention or what would happen afterward.

Henry Kissinger, now 91, has written a new book, “World Order”, in which he traces the idea of international order to the European system of independent states that were in control of religion and all other aspects of life within their borders and would not interfere in the internal workings of other states. Peace and order was maintained by diplomacy with a focus on national interests and a balance of power externally created by treaty and agreements between states. This system was in place in most of the world at the end of World War II. The continuation of a values neutral system in our country when we pride ourselves on our moral exceptionalism, becomes very difficult. The old order was criticized by left and right for being outmoded and immoral.

Kissinger’s idea was and is that American idealism is important but must be tempered by a large dose of realism and analysis of factors before action.

When we sent troops to Iraq, the idea was to export democracy there and from there to all of the Middle East. Kissinger states “To seek to achieve American values by military occupation in a part of the world where they had on historical roots imbued the effort with a Sisyphean quality”.

The US’s well intentioned but dubious decisions to support changes in leadership and Western-style democracy in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan and Syria can be blamed in part for the Jihadist revolution and ISIS uprisings based on extremist religious values.

It may well be time for some wise leaders in Washington to take heed of Kissinger’s advice, take the heat for being called an isolationist, as Senator Rand Paul was recently, and return at least part way to the old order. We should not be so critical of the President and/or Congress when they step back from foreign intervention and putting more “boots on the ground” for regime change and the extension of democracy alone. We should have a clear national interest or be bound by treaty before we venture further into yet another country.

This does not mean that we should not kill small snakes like ISIS before they do further damage to our citizens or to our allies. We can do much better at taking care of home first and at just minding our own business internationally.

ting on my children way too much. Instead of lifting them up and encouraging them I was either not saying a word or fussing with them.

Now I know we as parents have to get on our kids at times and I do when necessary but I went a little overboard. I really did not know what my problem was and I even recognized I needed to chill out but for some reason I couldn’t snap out of it. After the first day I thought my cranky mood was over but then as the early evening approached on the second day, my cranky self came back. Even though I had

tude was because I needed to spend more time with Him. When I am with Him I can see my true self or like my Pastor says my authentic self. I can see the person He created me to be not the person I think I should be or the person others have told me I should be. With Him I can rest in His peace, His love, His grace and His mercy. With Him there is no stress or no trying to be perfect. I can be me----the real me and that is all He wants me to do is be me.

After I realized where I had fallen short I asked my children and husband for their forgiveness. I told them I had been short and cranky with them and that I was sorry. I told them I had not been hanging out at the well like I needed to be but things were going to change.

I have found that the more time I spend with God and the closer I get to Him, the better wife, mother and friend I can be to those God has blessed me to be around.

So happy my apology was accepted!

less cranky moments as the days passed by I still was not quite myself.

When Sunday rolled around I still had a little of the cranky residue hanging around. During service my Pastor talked about hanging out at the well with Jesus. He said that some of us had been to the well before and knew how good it felt hanging out there with Jesus but for some reason or another we had been away. Some of us said we were too busy and didn’t have the time while some of us were trying to handle life on our own and with our own strength.

I knew I was one of those people. Yes, I was still praying to God and reading my bible here and there but I was not hanging out at the well like I needed. I was spending more time looking at facebook then I was spending one on one time with my Father. I thought I was too busy to spend more than 15 minutes with Him yet I could sit and watch an hour television show.

I knew my cranky atti-

thing she truly loved... singing and performing.

Later, Becky began writing her own songs and in late 2010, released her first single on the Country Breakout™ Chart. Playing with the same bandmates since 2010, Becky’s band helped form the sound of Kelly’s Got a Boyfriend, her cowritten single which has received airplay on over 80 stations across the country.

It has been an exciting few plus years to watch Becky Blackaby’s journey.

After becoming a State Finalist three consecutive years in the Colgate Country Showdown, in 2007, Becky became an “Elite 8” Finalist in CMT’s Music City Madness II Contest, as Becky’s fans voted for her original song and video, Eye Games. “I am soooo thankful for that contest and the support everyone gave me, because it put me on the map.” In 2008, Becky started making frequent trips to Nashville, TN, to collaborate with others in the music industry and began playing writer’s nights at several venues in Nashville, including The Commodore Lounge, The Listening Room, and Dan McGuinness. In 2011, Becky was featured on The Tennessean and Fox 17 Nashville News when she auditioned for the National Anthem

Continued from front

for the Nashville Sounds MLB team. Becky has also been a featured news story on KOMU-8 TV, WGEM13 TV & KHQA-7 TV, as well as in The Little Dixie Weekender, Cattleman’s Advocate, and Inside Columbia magazines.

Becky’s drive to succeed is obvious. Her playful demeanor and warm smile counter a very serious side – the side you need to make life-changing commitments and to take consistent action in a business that isn’t kind. Becky juggles a busy schedule as a wife, mother, working part-time as a speechlanguage pathologist, and maintaining a steady performance schedule. Becky writes her own music, has independently sold over 1,000 CDs, and opened shows for artists such as Steel Magnolia, Josh Thompson, The Jane Dear Girls, Randy Houser, Little Texas, Shooter Jennings and Cowboy Crush, all of which exemplify her quest to entertain.

You get a total package when Becky performs.

She’s an entertainer with stage presence, marketability, and talent... with the vocals to back it up.

Tips For Surviving a Severe Storm

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Anyone who’s ever survived a severe storm or hurricane knows that the damage to home and property can be overwhelming, emotionally and financially. The property damage attributed to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 hit $81 billion, while the latest property damage estimates on Hurricane Sandy in 2012 are running as high as $50 billion. The annual hurricane season traditionally runs from June 1 to November 30, but a severe storm can appear suddenly at any time of the year.

What can I do to be safer during a storm? If you have advance notice that a powerful storm or hurricane is headed your way, here are some tips to help minimize damage to your property and increase your comfort level in the aftermath: Organize your important papers and store them offsite, in a bank safe-deposit box or some other secure location. Your mortgage, home and auto insurance policies, birth certificates, passports, and other important papers should be in a safe, dry location that you can access even if your home is damaged. Store other papers and keepsakes in plastic, sealable bags on a high shelf to avoid flood damage. Create a home inventory of your possessions to expedite insurance claims after the storm and keep it with your important papers off-site.

It’s much easier to file a claim with an existing inventory rather than trying to create one during the stressful post-storm period.

Put together an emergency kit of bottled water, flashlights, crank- or battery-operated radio, non-spoilable food, extra clothing, sleeping bags and blankets. These items can come in handy if you have to leave your home and temporarily move into a public shelter.

Create an easily accessible emergency fund, if possible, to streamline your post-storm recovery.

Board up windows and glass doors with shutters or plywood to minimize damage from broken glass, in case of high winds.Move your car into the garage or some other place where it will be sheltered. If you don’t have a garage, move it to higher ground, in case of flooding.

Bring outdoor furniture and potted plants inside. Anything that can be picked up by the wind and subsequently blown against your home should be secured ahead of time.

Store your gas grill safely indoors and shut off the propane tank.

Turn off the circuit breaker to your outdoor pool and remove the motor to prevent damage.

Prune branches that might break off during the storm and either hurt someone or cause damage to your home or vehicle.

Rent or purchase an emergency generator, if feasible.

A powerful storm can knock out power to your home for days, even weeks. With a generator, you can continue running your refrigerator and keep some lights on.

Do I have the right insurance? Check to see if your homeowner’s policy coverage has kept up with rising building costs. With construction costs rising faster than current real estate values, your present home insurance policy might not cover all of your outstanding rebuilding expenses. Also, severe storms can cause flooding.

Most insurance companies do not offer flood insurance.

However, flood coverage is available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Your agent can provide you with more information on both your homeowner’s policy and NFIP.

CHURCH NEWS

Services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, September 14 were opened with the prelude by pianist, Sally Blakemore. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. The congregation shared the joy of having Jerry and Loretta Koch back from their western travels.

Paris Christian Church will host a retirement reception for Reverend Donna Scott at 1:30 p.m., on Sunday, September 28. The annual soup supper and country store event will be held at Madison Christian Church on Saturday, October 4.

Happy birthday was sung to: Andy Callison and David Menefee.

The opening hymn, “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” was sung; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Gene Carter, Bill Heathman, Jessica and Jeff Armour and Grace Holmes as she moves to Kansas City for an extended period to accept a position as Director of the KC Ballet. Sympathy was extended to the families of Leroy Gossein and Adam Beabout. Gerald and Carole Roberts shared the joy of having their daughter, Angie and husband Jeff Threlkeld, relocating from Minnesota to Jefferson City.

Wins for Paris and Mizzou football teams were shared as a joy.

The prayer hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour” was sung; singing was followed by prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer. Elders, Jerry Ragsdale and Guy Callison, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table as the communion hymn, “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” was sung. Deacons were: Darold Thrasher and Gerald Roberts.

“Why Don’t You Call?” was the message on this Sunday. Scripture from Matthew 18:21-35 was referenced.

Jesus makes it possible for us to heal broken relationships through His grace and forgiveness. We have to “make the call” – take that first step. If we ask for God’s forgiveness then we are better equipped to forgive others. Our unforgiving nature grieves God – don’t be afraid to say “I’m sorry.”

The closing hymn, “Jesus Is Calling”, was sung, followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

The monthly congregational meeting was held following services; Chairman Gary Wilson called the meeting to order. Minutes of the August meeting were approved as read by Secretary, Carole Roberts. Financial reports presented by Jane Akers were also approved. Various issues for church improvements and repairs to the post office building were discussed. The meeting was adjourned on motion by Johnny Ragsdale, who narrowly beat out Jerry Ragsdalewith the motion.

Following a time of fellowship and for refreshments, Carole Roberts read “Hard Work is Wise” from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”. Diane Wilson read “Two Boxes”. Jim McMorris led the group in prayer and in study of Acts Chapter 17.

Services are held each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed

by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

Services were held at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, September 14, with 40 members and guests in attendance. We were pleased to welcome ten Wildwood residents. Rev. Holmes greeted the congregation and led the announcements. Joys and concerns were expressed before Rev. Holmes led the congregation in prayer, followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The Lord’s Supper was observed and tithes and offerings were given. Rev. Holmes delivered the morning message from Matthew 18:21-35 “Forgiveness—It’s the Heart of the Matter”.

All were invited to Christian Discipleship. Announcements: Youth group meets at 6:30 p.m., on Wednesdays; Adult Choir practice, 6 p.m., on Wednesdays; The Annual Soup Supper and Country Store will be held Saturday, October 4. Note the date change from September 27. Serving next Sunday: Frieda Holohan and Susan Purdy, Elders; Joe Hulen, Angela Purdy, Mike Peterson, and Bonnie Peterson, Diaconate.

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service September 7. The ushers for this week’s servcie were Bob McKinney and Albert Sinkclear. Patti Grimmett led the congregation into worship service with, “Holy Spirit.” The Call to worship was, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.” The chancel choir performed the music special piece, “They’ll Know We Are Christians

By Our Love.”

Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns. He gave a pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. Pastor John Grimmett read the scripture reading from Romans 12. Pastor John Grimmett gave the message entitled, “The Fruit of the SpiritPatience and Kindness.” The closing hymn was, “Lord, Make Us More Holy.” Patti Grimmett led the congregation out of worship service with, “He Is Lord.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, September 21. Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m. A sitter is provided during worship service for any children.

The Hymn Sing for the Monroe Baptist Association will be held at the Pleasant Green Baptist Church north of Madison on Saturday September 20. There will be a carry-in meal beginning at 6 p.m., with the host church providing the meat. Visitors are welcome to attend and enjoy the food, music and fellowship.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon title was “Adopted As Sons” from Galatians 3:17-4:7. The picture on the bulletin was of Wesley, Michael, John and Stephen.

He discussed the love for a biological child, an adopted child during infancy and a teen son who became part of the family by invitation. He compared this to the love of God the Father. The oldest sons were those related through Abraham’s seed. The new believers were the gentiles who can expect an inheritance through Jesus thus a part of Abraham’s seed. Before accepting Christ we are like slaves or those in bondage. But after we accept Christ we live a life of privilege. Our life in Christ changes us from a religion based on obligation to a father relationship as God was Jesus’ father.

Mike DeOrnellis presented special music “Love Life of Jesus”, an original of his, played on the guitar. A friend wrote the words. He also played “Sanctuary”.

Reverend Jimmie Stewart gave the children’s sermon.

He said we should read the Bible and memorize scripture so we can help others know about God. When we do this we grow spiritually. He showed an example of a sponge placed in water and how it expands.

Greetings from Faith Walk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

More than Anything - sung by Faith Walk choir Prayer led by Min. Enyard Scripture read by Eld. Fugate Higher-sung by Faith Walk Choir Offering directed by Min. Berry Jesus, I Love you– sung by Faith walk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “Something’s you Ought Not do!” I Kings 20:1 Now Ben-hadad the King of Syria gather all his forces together, thirty-two kings were with him, with horses and chariots and he went up and besieged Samaria and made war against it. . Then he sent massagers into the city of Ahab King of Israel and said to him, thus says Benhadad.

Your silver and your gold are mine: your loveliest wives and children are mine. And the King of Israel answered and said: My lord O King, just as you say, I and all that I have I have are yours. Then the messengers came back and; Thus speak Ben-hadad saying, in deed I have sent to you saying, you shall deliver to me your sliver and your gold, your wives and your children. But, I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the house of your servants, and it shall be whatever is pleasant in your eyes. They will put it in their hands and take it. So the king of Israel called the elders of the land and said, notice please an see how this man seeks trouble for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my sliver and my gold; and I did not deny him.

And all the elders and all they people said to him, do not listen or consent. Therefore, he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, tell my lord the King all that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do but this thing I cannot do. Our perceptions of things or the situations we are in can cause us to agree to let our enemy take what is dear and close to us, thinking well at least I’m yet alive I haven’t lose it all. Yet we are willing to let go those things that produce and bring destiny to our future. Fear can cause us to make some very irrational decisions without thinking it through; yes, depending on who we have surround ourselves with and what they are saying, will and can have a great influence on our decision. Sometimes we have done things we are not proud of and that can cause us fear that God may not help me this time, that is called imaginary fear: Psm 53:5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been. In those times, we must look to God Psm 121:1.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow my foot to slip He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day. Nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this day forth and forever.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us!

Weekly service is times: Tuesday at 7 p.m. Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., 7 p.m. God bless you.

Today pastor Kenny’s message was titled, “The World or God.” Scripture was taken from Luke 12:22-34. There is NOTHING that can be greater in this world than what God has in store for us. Don’t chase after worldly things, they just destroy in time. Everything in this world will die. God knows your needs if you trust Him. If your heart is focused on God, then your treasures will be in heaven. Meet people where they are to meet their needs. Build up heavenly rewards and forget the things that don’t matter.

COMMUNITY NEWS Services Sunday, Sept. 10, “Living For Jesus” on the piano followed by Pastor John leading in the Responsive Prayer and prayer concerns for Kaylee Beckham; Kay Ragon; the Holmes family; the Turner family;Tom Ingram; Gregg Powers; praises for church and Mary Kay Banks (cancer free);Happy Birthday sang for Debbie Carey and Bill McGee; collections for mission project this month paper kitchen products and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Debbie led all in song to “Onward Christian Soldiers”, “More Holiness Give Me”, “Doxology”, “O To Be Like Thee” and “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”.

Patti and Pastor John played guitar while they and Debbie sang “They’ll Know We Are Christians By Our Love”.

The message “Forgive Our Debts as We Forgive...” was based on scripture from Romans 14 as Paul writes to accept those whose faith is weak - let us not judge one another (Romans 14:11). Jesus is the one who unifies us - not all the stuff... There are things we should all agree on - God the Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost. And not worry about everyday stuff.

Forget the petty differences. Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ! Think about your attitude this week... think about Jesus. He died for everybody!

Look at the world through the eyes of Jesus Christ!

Forgive others because He forgave us!

Everyone retired in fellowship as Patti played “Take the Name of Jesus With You”.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome and encouraged to come hear the word of the Lord.

“Forgive our shortcomings, our shortsightedness and for when we become stumbling blocks for others. Lead us in Your way.”

On Sunday, September 14 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: the Associational Hymn Sing on September 20 is at Pleasant Green with a carry-in meal at 6 p.m.,, anyone interested in putting a float in the Paris parade should contact the pastor, and the Heartland dinner trip will be on September 27 and we’ll leave from the church The message this week was titled ‘Jesus is Above All’ and came from Hebrews 1:1-3. When Hebrews was written Christianity was growing quickly and so was persecution. Christians faced pressure from local government, the Romans, and family and friends to return to Judaism or paganism. Christians needed to be reminded of why suffering for Christ was better than walking away from Him. The author of Hebrews stresses that Jesus is better than anything else thirteen times in this book. Starting with the prophets, whom the people thought to be special men of God, the author shows why Jesus is better. Paying homage to the prophets the author states that God did speak to them in many different ways and places. This establishes the divine authorship, authority, and accuracy of the Old Testament. Yet, each prophet only received a small piece of God’s revelation. No one prophet could reveal all of God’s truth. But Jesus can.

No greater messenger could be sent to man than God’s own Son. No greater authority or power could handle the revelation of God to man with such love or care as Jesus did. This shows God loves mankind and does not want us living in the dark about where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going.

This means we should listen to Jesus above all else in the world. The world is a loud place and will shout out the words of Jesus if you let it; do not let it!

Jesus being heir to God means that for eternity He has the power and authority over all He created. Jesus is the lawful owner of all things from eternity past to eternity future. This is because Jesus is the divine nature of God and showed this to man by living perfectly in obedience before God while on earth. The word ‘worlds’ can translate into ‘ages or time’ or can be material worlds. This shows Jesus is the creator of all things over all time and of all places (Col.1:16).

Looking at Jesus you see the glory of God. This is what attracts people to Jesus. Show the world His glory in your life and they will come. Being the express image of God, Jesus shares the exact character and substance of God proving Jn.10:10 is true. Jesus did not create the universe and leave it alone. Jesus sustains the universe with the power of His word.

No prophet could redeem mankind from sin. Jesus could and did. Because Jesus is perfect He could pay the ransom for sin, and did. Now in heaven Jesus mediates and intercedes for man. This shows Jesus is the Exalted Sovereign Majesty of the Universe. Jesus has earned our trust to be our Lord, Savior, Provider, and friend. No prophet could ever come close to who Jesus is.

Brenda Duncan and Diane Hickman began worship service for the Perry Christian Church, Sept. 14, singing “This Is the Day”.

Jason Fleenor was our minister for the day and will be with us next Sunday also. Brenda served as pianist and Diane as song leader. We were happy to welcome them and their families.

Our congratulations go to the Center Olivet Christian Church as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of their church building today.

“At the Cross” was sung with praise for Donald Broyles recovery and feeling good. Lindsey Fierge and John DiMaria also had birthdays today.

The Call to Prayer hymn was “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”. Jason gave the morning prayer for those on our prayer list. Concerns are for Randy Smith, Kay Ragon, Joy Whitaker and the friends of both Brenda and Diane. The response was “Since Jesus Came Into My Heart.

The invitation to share in the Lord’s Supper was given by Jason. “Victory In Jesus” was the communion hymn. Greg Harrison and Shirley Levings offered the elder’s prayers. Deacons were Eunice Fisher, Carol Norman, Jim Gay and Wyatt Lewellen.

Diane and Brenda sang “I Lean On You Lord” and “Learning To Lean On Jesus” for our special music.

Alisha Eisele’s message to the children was to be forgiving and to keep on forgiving.

Matthew 3:13-16 and Matthew 4:1 was read by Carol Norman for Jason’s sermon on “Baptism of Jesus”. God gave John the Baptist the gift of baptizing Jesus.

He gives us gifts that can test our faith as he did John. We allow “if ” to determine our faith when we should be affirmative in our beliefs and say “yes” to our faith.

“Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior” was the invitation hymn. The benediction was given followed by singing “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”.

We welcome all to join us in worship each Sunday. Sunday School is 9:45am, Worship Service at 10:45 a.m. The choir will resume next Sunday and as Arlen says “they are the comfy seats” so you are invited to sit and sing in the choir.

The Paris Coyotes ran, ran and ran and then passed some to run up a 60-18 win over Knox County on Friday, September 12.

Paris had 585 yards of offense (204 passing, 381 rushing) for the game.

It was obvious from the opening kickoff that the Coyotes were going to run, run and then run again against a team that was heralded as having a big line and a running team themselves.

For the first time this season Paris had two runners with over a hundred yards of real estate. Tucker Gruber gained 226 yards rushing and Slater Stone had 103. Laine Forrest chipped in with 61 yards on the ground.

Gruber ran around left end, he ran around right end, he ran behind his blockers up the middle and then he even ran over people on his way to four scores (57 yards, 57 yards, 15 yards and 7 yards) and 226 yards in the rushing column on 17 carries.

Stone had an 87 yard sprint for a score accounting for most of his 103 yards rushing.

The offensive line (Dylan Langerud, Mike Ensor, Austin Coffman, Breck Hancock, August Hayhurst) moved the Knox County linemen around at will and were instrumental in the large amount of ground yards gained and their excellent pass blocking allowed

Popkes enough time to complete his three scores.

Through the air quarterback Kyle Popkes completed only 5 passes (in 12 attempts) but hit for 204 yards including a 65 yard rainbow to Forrest, a 43 yard catch and run also to Forrest and a 50 yard bullet to Stone who outraced the defenders for an easy score.

Breck Hancock hit two extra points and Popkes tossed two two-point conversions to Jon Turner.

Paris raced out to a 27-0 lead after the first quarter. They added two more scores in the second and Knox County added a touchdown for a 42-6 halftime score.

The Coyotes scored two third quarter TDs and added another in the fourth. Knox County had two fourth quarter scores for the final 60-18 score.

The Coyotes had 15 first downs for the game.

Defensively, the Coyotes had four players with double digit tackles (Stone 10, Breck Hancock 16, Dylan Langerud 13 and Mike Ensor 12). Had four tackles for a loss and three sacks. Gruber and Forrest each grabbed an errant Knox County pass for interceptions while Jacob Green and August Hayhurst each recovered a fumble.

Statistics Scoring: Tucker Gruber had runs of 57, 57, 15, and 7 yards; Slater Stone 87 yard run, 50 yard pass from Kyle Popkes; Laine Forrest 27 yard run, 65 yard pass from Popkes, 43 yard pass from Popkes; Breck Hancock 2 extra points; Jon Turner two two-point conversions from Popkes.

Passing: Popkes 5 completions in 12 attempts for 204 yards and three touchdown passes.

Rushing: Stone 4 rush-

es for 103 yards; Gruber 17/226; Popkes 3/-9; Forrest 5/61.

Receiving: Stone 3/ receptions for 96 yards; Forrest 2/108.

Defensive statistics Tackles: Stone 10, Jacob Wolfe 5, Jacob Green 2, Tucker Gruber 9, Jon Turner 6, Breck Hancock 16, Austin Coffman 1, August Hayhurst 7, Trent Morgan 2, Dylan Langerud 13, Jacob Pease 1, Drew Duncun 1, Laine Forrest 3.

Tackles for a loss: Hayhurst 1, Langerud 2, Ensor 1.

Sacks: Jon Turner 1, Hayhurst 1, Ensor 1.

The Coyotes travel to Westran to face the Hornets on Friday, Sept. 19.

In district results, if the season ended to day Paris has the third position and would host North Shelby in the 10th game of the season.

Love, Mom & Dad Good luck Coyotes on a great season!

Payton has gotten better each game and it’s time for the rest of the team to follow suit. We’re young and we’re going to make mistakes but we’re half way through our season and it’s time to start maturing and get better.”

“From there our offense took over and were very

productive. We had runners in scoring position every inning and were able to keep pressure on them the entire game.

So far this season we’ve pitched and hit good enough to be competitive for the most part. Our defense still has some work to do to get it where we expect it.”

“It doesn’t show in the box score but he hit the ball hard all night and had several line drives right at defenders. We had a three run leading going into the sixth. Our offense did a good job of stretching that lead and we had to overcome poor defense and way too many walks

to get that far. In the end the mistakes caught up with us. We allowed 6 runs in the sixth inning where we committed 2 errors and walked 3 hitters. In the seventh we had a shot to tie it but we had some really poor judgment on the bases and lost two runners. The game ended with a runner caught in a pickle between second and third. It’s a pretty tough one to take, having a lead that late in the game and being in position to win and then opening the door for the other team to get back in it. The good news is these are all things that we can control and fix if we can finally commit to consistently doing things the right way. We have to be relentless in our preparation.”

The Madison Lady Panthers will participate in the Paris Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 20. The Lady Panthers will face South Shelby in the first round at 10:30 a.m., on Field 2. See bracket below.
