BRIGHTON

Hang-ups have project hung up

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com On Tuesday, Feb. 8, the board meeting of mayor and aldermen was held in Brighton.

Town officials discussed issues regarding the month of January as well as some on-going and future matters.

Brighton Public Works reported the need for the pavement plan to resume in order to resolve worsening issues of accumulating potholes around the town of Brighton resulting from the recent winter weather.

The town appears to be finding ways to save money here and there within various departments by working on their own equipment.

The public works is putting forth an effort to help provide preventive maintenance and vehicle repair among other departments.

Two police cars and a vehicle from Brighton Fire Department were serviced by the town’s public works and saved money.

Additionally, the fire department is prompted every year to purchase three sets of fire apparel. This year, however, Tommy Dunavant brought to light the fact that it could be purchased through the Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security. This, in turn, helps with the funds that were needed to repair a fire engine leak and clutch.

suspected carjacker was shot and killed by police following a pursuit that originated in Haywood County Monday morning.

The pursuit ended in the heart of Mason with 18-year-old Chastain Montgomery Jr., who was wanted in Davidson County on criminal homicide charges, firing more than a dozen rounds at officers before being fatally shot.

At approximately 8:55 a.m., dispatchers notified Tipton MONTGOMERY JR. County deputies their assistance was requested by Haywood County, whose deputies were in pursuit of a vehicle they believe was taken from Nashville.

Haywood County Sheriff Melvin Bond said his deputies were notified of the stolen vehicle and followed it from Brownsville to Stanton before entering Tipton County on Hwy. 70. The pursuit ensued at the speed limit posted on the highway, which is 50-55 miles per hour.

Once in Mason, witnesses say the vehicle was run off the road by Mason Police Chief James Paris in front of the Xpress Mart at highways 59 and 70.

SHOT

Continued from A1 of coffee,” said David Cartwright, who spends time at the store nearly every day. “Sirens started coming from Brownsville and all at once, this white pickup truck eased up in here and came to a screeching stop.”

According to Cartwright, Paris pulled up next to the truck and Montgomery, who is from LaVergne, Tenn., jumped out of the vehicle. He said the truck then rolled into a telephone pole, scraping a brown car in the Xpress Mart parking lot.

Montgomery, Cartwright said, began running east toward the intersection with a handgun in each hand, firing semi-automatic handguns at officers.

“The chief knocked him off the road here and he whipped around and came back out and when the chief wheeled around the church and came back out, he went ‘BAM! BAM!’ at the chief,” he said. “He was shooting at Chief Paris this way and Haywood County that way.”

Cartwright said Montgomery ran out of ammunition in both guns and began reaching toward his back, for what he thought may have been another gun.

That is when Haywood County Chief Deputy Mike Smothers shot Montgomery in the chest, killing him.

“He began shooting at the officers and the officers returned fire,” said Tipton County Sheriff Pancho Chumley.

Cartwright paints a dramatic picture of the moment Montgomery was struck by gunfire.

“He leaned over to go in his back pocket and ‘BOOM’, his chest exploded,” Cartwright said. “It took the police awhile to shoot him.”

Xpress Mart is a popular gas station and convenience store in the heart of Mason, a town which boasts a population of approximately 1,000 residents, including inmates at the jail.

On any given day, many people can be seen in and around the business.

Despite the crowd, the suspect was the only one injured during the incident. Cartwright said Montgomery said nothing, just came out with his guns blazing.

“If you’ve ever seen movies, it was like a blaze of glory,” he said.

“The only thing talking was them pistols!”

Cartwright said he believed the suspect wanted police to shoot him.

“That’s what he done, he let them take him out,” he said. “He never acted like he was gonna hurt nobody but the police. I believe he wanted to be killed; he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. He didn’t accomplish nothing.”

In a bizarre twist, Cartwright said another man emerged from a vehicle after the shooting, reportedly telling police, “Y’all done killed my son.”

“He had a whole envelope full of money,” said Cartwright. “Looked like it had a little red on it, like a dye bomb.

I think they robbed a bank somewhere.”

The man was taken into custody and reportedly transported to the Haywood County Jail for questioning.

The Tipton County Bureau of Investigation and the Tipton County Criminal Investigations Division are investigating the officer involved shooting.

Sources say the Haywood County deputy has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Bond said the truck

has been confirmed stolen out of Nashville. His deputies tracked it using the OnStar vehicle location system.

Nashville police say Montgomery robbed 59-year-old Bill Petty at a construction site.

A gunman wearing a ski mask, believed to be Montgomery, entered a trailer at the site, pointed a pistol at Petty, and demanded the keys to his pickup truck, wallet and cell phone. Petty complied, and quoted the suspect to have then said, “I’ll let you live.”

Police say Montgomery fled in the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, eventually making his way to Tipton County.

The Mason Police Department assisted Haywood County in the pursuit with Tipton County deputies arriving just as the pursuit ended. The Tipton County Bureau of Investigation was and the Tipton County Criminal Investigations Division are investigating the shooting.

At the time of his death, Montgomery was wanted for the attempted murder of a 17-yearold in Antioch on Jan. 6.

According to Nashville police, the victim, Patrick Allen Pruitt, had come out of a hair product store and was getting into his brother’s car when Montgomery is alleged to have appeared, yelled at Pruitt and opened fire.

Police say Pruitt and Montgomery were acquaintances from high school and had been involved in an altercation in the past. The media reported Pruitt was shot in the leg and his injuries were not lifethreatening.

Bond said he was thankful no one else was injured during the incident.

“It was quite an episode. A lot of lives were

Dollar store bandits nabbed after three-city pursuit

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA - After stealing a laundry list of items, two Memphians are in custody for theft and a Dollar General manager is credited with putting them in jail.

Atoka police say late last month, a store manager at the Atoka Dollar General noticed a woman shoplifting and asked her to stop, but the woman didn’t comply. “She’s the key in solving this,� said investigator Chris Ellwood.

Ellwood said the manager witnessed the female suspect shoving merchandise into pockets in her coat, which was designed specifically for shoplifting and gave her the ability to drop containers of laundry detergent inside its lining. “She wasn’t intent on trying to force this person to stay there,� he said. “She let her pass on by, then grabbed the cordless phone and dialed 911.�

The couple – identified as Daniel Payne and Theresa Beasley – then fled, leading police on a multi-jurisdictional pursuit into Covington. Ellwood said at that point he believed there was

more than shoplifting going on.

After a short high-speed pursuit, the duo was spotted at Covington’s Walmart. Their vehicle was filled with several containers of liquid laundry detergent, snack cakes, deodorant, air fresheners and other miscellaneous items. “There was some indication they may have had a card game set up and ready to go,� Ellwood said. “The investigation revealed there were orders placed for the stolen items.�

After they were arrested, the Dollar General manager posted news of the theft on a Facebook page, alert other local managers of the incident. In doing so, she set off a chain of events that linked the pair to other thefts.

Police say Payne and Beasley are connected to thefts in Covington, Brighton and Brownsville – and the vehicle they stole two vehicles during their crime spree.

Ellwood said without details given to them by the Dollar General manager, the duo may not have been apprehended. “Good observations, good descriptions ‌ that’s the key.â€?

have currently been put on hold for a several reasons including the wintry weather. Contractors from BNC Construction recently noticed some potential problems with the new drainage system that was to be installed. The conflict lies in the area on Main Street from Woodlawn Street to Preston Street. Builders were worried that the system had too slight of a gradation due to the structure of the natural landscape and would not drain. Plans for a new drainage sys-

tem have been acquired last Thursday.

Additionally, while contractors were putting the new water line in along Main Street to Preston Street, coal oil tanks were discovered in front of the old Wells Grocery building. The town of Brighton is now awaiting instructions from the Environmental Protection Agency handling the tanks.

Brighton’s meetings of the board of mayor and aldermen take place on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in Brighton City Hall.

Baby Girl was a stray spotted in the middle of the freezing winter. We don’t know what happened in her past, but she wasn’t trusting of people. She refused to come near any food if someone was nearby...

After several weeks, we left some food out for her with some medication in it. This made her sleepy and allowed us to save her. Baby Girl is very sweet. It takes her a short time to warm up to people but once she does, she will love you and let you pet Baby Girl her. She is probably about 4-5 years old.

Baby Girl is now healthy, spayed, up-todate on her shots and ready for her forever home. Will you please give this sweetheart the cozy home that she deserves?

News updates from Tenn. Wildlife TWRA seeks help with bald eagle survey Scott Somershoe, ornithologist for The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, has announced the agency is looking for bald eagle nests across Tennessee in 2011.

TWRA, in partner with other government agencies and private citizens, have been monitoring bald eagle nests across the state for many years; however there are gaps in monitoring as birds have moved nests and many new nests are appearing annually.

Somershoe says it is the aim to conduct a complete inventory of eagle nests in the state in 2011.

The goal of the project is to document all active nesting locations in the state as part of a comprehensive nest monitoring program to estimate population size and growth for the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

New eagle nests are showing up across the

state, including one within the city limits of Franklin, and there are many other nests that may have been around for years that are not included in the statewide database. If you have any questions or know of any bald eagle nests, please contact Somershoe at (615) 781-6653 or scott. somershoe@tn.gov.

Attractions now on website.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has now added reservoir fish attractor maps on their website.

The maps show the location of shallow and deep water fish attractors on most of the major reservoirs across the state.

The maps contain the GPS coordinates for the deep water attractors.

To access the maps go to www.tnwildlife. org. On the left menu, click “For Anglers”.

TWRA has been providing fish habitat in the form of shallow water stake beds and deep water bush piles since the 1960’s. Biologist’s discovered in studies and research that an acre of brush attracted eleven times more fish than an area without brush. This habitat or “fish attractors” installed by TWRA is used by various species of fish and provide excellent opportunities for anglers to catch fish.

The TWRA marks the location of these fish attractors with either a buoy or a PVC pipe identified by TWRA logos that extend above the waterline. In the past couple of years’ selfish anglers have vandalized these habitat structures by either removing the PVC pipe or cutting the cable to the buoys, thus making these beds invisible to other anglers.

“We understand

that the majority of the anglers appreciate these fish attractors built with their license dollars and it’s a small minority who chose to vandalize these structures and jeopardize the continuation of this program,” stated Tim Broadbent, TWRA Region I Fisheries Biologist. “The average cost of building a shallow water fish bed marked with plastic pipe is between $35 and $40; the price of a deep water bed with buoy and hardware is a little more than $250.”

The TWRA requests that anglers who witness the destruction of any part of a shallow water or deep water fish attractor contact the TWRA Region I Office at 731423-5725 or toll free at 1-800-372-3928. TWRA also requests that anglers who fish around the attractors not to anchor or tie-off to the buoys or markers.

THP plans sobriety checkpoints Feb. 25 The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting a Sobriety Checkpoint on February 25 in Tipton County in the evening hours. The main focus will be impaired drivers. The checkpoint will be conducted in the central portion of the county.

Troopers will concentrate their efforts on impaired drivers and unsafe vehicles within Tipton County.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol has found these Traffic Enforcement Roadblocks to be an effective means of enforcing the motor vehicle statutes of Tennessee while ensuring the protection of all motorists.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 5010 West Union, Millington, TN 38053 901-872-2264

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am

What is right with the church We are constantly being bombarded with negative news. Natural disasters, human tragedy in war-torn areas of the world, and our American economy are seemingly always in the news. When we begin to grow weary with hearing such things, we need hope and strength. For believers, our hope is in the Lord. Our strength comes from frequent fellowship with the Lord's people in corporate prayer and worship in the local assembly.

The Lord established the church. He has gifted this organism with everything that we need to worship Him and spread the truth of the Gospel.

The church has the right Master. Christ is the Head of the New Testament church. He has not left that position to any man here on earth. His love, compassion, mercy, and ability to supply the needs of the church all testify that He is the right Master.

The church has the right message. The world needs truth. Truth never changes and gives a fixed point of reference for life. Our message is free to all. There is no coercion or desire to do so. People will become believers because they wish to be or they will not through their own choice. Our message is that Christ died to pay the sin debt for the all men. The little song that we teach our children in VBS and Sunday School is a theological truth as well: “Jesus love the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, Jesus loves the little children of the world.

The church has the right music. I will not get into the discussion of styles of music here, but

rather the content of what the church's music is all about and upon what it is focused. We sing of the Lord and His glory. We sing of the freeness of salvation and the glory of forgiveness. Our music is clean and pure. It is focused on Christ and heaven.

It is anchored firmly on the truth of the Word of God. Our songs contain references to eternal life, build and encourage hope, remind us of who we were and what we are now. “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me; I was once lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.” We have the right music.

Lastly, I would say that the church has the right members. If you belong to the church of the living God, you are a saved individual. There are many clubs, fraternities, and other groups that you may join if you meet certain criteria. To belong to the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, you must be saved, and that salvation is the sole requirement.

Our denominations have their own requirements that they would not doubt argue are biblical. The church I pastor will only allow those who have been immersed to be members, but our membership roll is not heaven's, neither is any other earthly church's. Belonging to Christ by faith makes you a member of His body, the bride of Christ, the New Testament church.

DSCC receives grant USDA check presentation at Dyersburg campus LRC

provide a match of $170,000 from stimulus (ARRA) funds in order to receive the grant, making a total of $513,580 available for the project. Each classroom costs $60,000 to equip--using $420,000 of the grant and matching funds. The remaining funds will be used for equipment to support the seven new labs.

DSCC President Karen Bowyer said, “The $343,000 that we have received from the grant and the matching money of $170,000 will enable Dyersburg State to offer more dual enrollment classes in the new ITV classrooms and in the existing ITV classrooms in Ripley and Halls. Last fall 630 high school students from our region enrolled in dual enrollment classes at DSCC. Involving high school students in dual enrollment college classes is the best way for this region to make

dramatic gains in educational attainment.

DSCC Vice President for Technology Diane Camper was instrumental in writing the grant proposal.

Funding is contingent upon DSCC meeting the conditions of the grant agreement.

In an earlier statement, U. S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "Too many rural areas cannot take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by broadband for improved education and health care. These funds will help communities enhance their educational and training programs and deliver improved health care services for their residents."

The USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers, and to improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of nearly $142 billion in loans and loan guarantees.

Hi everyone, I hope your Valentine's Day was a special one.

Our sure was. We began like a usual day with breakfast at McDonald's.

We enjoyed conversation with our friends Judy and Shorty Dunaway and George and Irene Parker.

At our age and retirement at hand, it's fun to have routines. You get kind of used to them. George and Irene eat out a lot too. We ran into them last Friday at the new Chik-Fil-A in Millington at lunch time.

Of course, the food was very good as well as the service. But we won't go down that far for breakfast. On Valentine's Day, for lunch, Charlie said, “Pick a place, honey.

Anywhere you want to go.” I'm not a steak person so I asked if Olive Garden was okay with him. He said, “If that's where you want to go.”

I said, “It will be nice for a change.” We enjoyed it.

While there, of course, we ran into some more Tipton county folks. Lau-

Jamestown DarSay Burton

I hope that all of you enjoyed a lovely Valentine's Day on Monday.

As for me, it was another quite, but lovely day spent at home with family and friends that dropped in or called to say hi! Of course, I received the usual red box of candy and a few red roses, which I always love to get.

With this month being Black History Month as well as St. Valentine's Day, Collins Chapel of Covington held its annual Black History occasion feathering several guests and friends from far and near home. I was unable to attend this year however my aunts LaRue Albritton and Florene Trent attended from Jamestown and thoroughly enjoyed it all. We as people of color must never forget the struggles made in our behalf from our behalf from out foreparents years ago. It's because of their devotional services that we enjoy all of our freedoms today.

No, we are still not all of the way there yet in freedom's quests, but we are so much farther because of their faiths and beliefs, that all men and women are indeed created equal!

President Mary Burton met at the center Tuesday at 5 p.m. along with teacher, Willie Mae Burton, and regulars for a wonderful missionary meeting.

Jamestown's Health Fair will be Feb. 19 at 9 a.m. The location's now at Bright Hill M.B. Church on Ballard Slough Road in Jamestown. There will be several events on health topics, as well as plenty of fun and games along with lots of healthy foods for everyone to enjoy. See you there all there.

Also on March 26, JCHO will sponsor another “It Takes Ten” fundraiser. This time we will gather at the Covington Country Club. For

ra Read and her husband, Rob, were there.

Laura is a hair dresser and does both of my daughter's hair. They are identical twins and she keep their hair identical and does a great job.

The Lord did hear our prayers after all since the snow finally stopped and cleared the area. These warmer temperatures are so exciting, I think it might be safe enough to begin changing out our closets or at least push the coats to the back of the closets. I have actually seen a few boys rushing it by wearing their tanklike t-shirts. Of course, I have to remember their youth. That makes a big difference in just about everything, if you know what I mean. We did get some more leaves raked this week, But there's still a long way to go.

You may also pay your yearly dues of $25 to them or to any Jamestown Community Health Organization committee person. We want to see all of you at both events and especially to see all of you with your yearly $25 dues which is very badly needed to enable all of our achievements on JCHO's agenda.

His father is Ronald Long Sr. His stepmother is Maxine Long. His mother is Curlie Long. Pvt. Long is being sent to Ft. Bennings, Ga. His unit left yesterday, Feb 16.

I heard that John Jones Sr. of Jamestown, husband of JaCinta Jones and father of Tyler and John jones Jr., treated his family and especially his mother-in-law, Celia burton to a lovely Valentine's Day dinner in Sunday after church. Way to go nephew!

The JCHO is featuring it's second annual “A Night of Elegance” to be held on Oct. 22 at the Covington Country Club.

A keynote speaker, emcee host, short program, as well as, entertainment, will also be featured.

More information from Gwen Cooke and Pam Springfield to follow. It's going to be a blast once more!

Wow! No snow this week!

We had two "school'sout snows" last week, one Monday, which wasn't supposed to be much but was four inches, and one Wednesday that they fussed over for a week, where we got three inches! And this week, it's been in the 60s all week and into next week. That's Tennessee for you!

Thursday evening James, Clint and I visited Harold Murrell in the hospital in Memphis, then grabbed some supper before heading home.

He was having fluid problems, and sugarlevel problems. He came home on Friday and James said he was at the store that afternoon, like nothing had happened.

Glad he's okay!

The Tipton County Soil Conservation District will be holding an election the first week in March.

Boxes will be set up at NAPA, Crop Produc-

WesTenn Livestock and Supply and only landowners may vote. Running are John Erwin, Michael Turner, Bill Kelley, Jeffrey McDaniel. Danny Waits and Robert Baskin, the two incumbents, are also running.

On Saturday night, we kept Lyla while Liz and Justin went out for Valentine's, as I think many folks did over the weekend, with the holiday being on Monday. She's crawling now!

Just not much going on these days. No farming but several sales and meals coming up for the next two weeks, including the Young Farmers and Ranchers big sale at Tennessee Gin on Feb. 26.

Roy Randolph has been moved to a rehab facility; we are so happy about that! Larry Whaley II should be having surgery today. He's in our prayers, as well as Kenneth Mason, who did not get in the experimental program. Please keep him in your prayers.

Sympathy is extended to Jim Edmonds in the death of his sister, Velma Bridges, and to Brandy Brown in the death of her aunt, Karen Northington.

These families have my prayers.

The Birthday Party at Covington Manor will be On Feb. 19 at 2 p.m. The Devotional at Covington Care will be on Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. Several folks attended the "Sparkin' Hillbillies" Valentine Dinner at the Covington Church of Christ Saturday night and we were treated to Powerpoint pictures Sunday night after services. Charles and Doris Yoakum won my vote!

Happy Birthday this week goes to Matt Sallee on January 6th, to Karen Wall on the 8th, to Rusty Cartwrght and John Dickey on the 9th, to Goron Cartwright and David Kidd on the 10th,to Brandy Brown n the 12th, to Jeni Chaney on the 14th, to Jack Burris on the 16th and to Andrea Newman on the 18th!

Happy Anniversary to Craig and Kim Clay on Feb. 14 and to Tim and Angie Gatlin on the 18th!

James and I thought

about his parents, Ernest and Leona Watkins, last week, when they would have turned 100 on the 10th and 14th respectively. My grandmother in Kentucky, Evelyn Harrington, will hopefully make it to that mark in May. I got a letter from her a week ago and she was fussing that she'd just had to go on blood pressure medicine!

"Thanks for Reading" this week goes to Nancy Walk Adams up in Kentucky, but a Covington girl! Sa-lute!

This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "A quarrel is like buttermilk; Once it's out of the churn, the more you shake it, the more sour it grows."

Didn't know that about buttermilk! But I try to stay away from it! I know that's why the older folks call milk, "sweet milk", as opposed to buttermilk.

We don't drink it these days like they used to.

Going to go keep Lyla today. Enjoy the warmer weather - who knows what's coming next!

Happy Presidents Day on Monday!

Until next week . . .

Lady Charger freshmen win district crown

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader They may be small in number but they are mighty on the court.

Dressing only five players, CHS freshman basketball coach Katrisha Glass has her work cut out for her to keep all five on the court for an entire game despite fouls and or fatigue.

She and her Lady Chargers managed just that in last week’s snow delayed district basketball tournament.

The week’s play concluded with an all day marathon on Saturday that culminated with CHS’ 47-32 win over the Dyer County Lady Choctaws.

Covington raced out to a 12-2 lead after one quarter and was never headed.

They led by 10 at the half and saw their margin grow to as many as 21 in the third period before Dyer Co. went on a run that cut the CHS lead to 9 at 38-29 with 3:38 remaining in the fourth.

The Lady Chargers quickly put an end to any

thoughts of a comeback with a display of hardnosed defense scoring the next seven to put the game out of reach.

Janeika Mason and Precious Harvey carried the scoring load for CHS notching 20 and 13 respectively to lead all scorers.

Amber Webb paced Dyer Co. with eight points. Nykia Grandberry along with Mason and Harvey were named to the All District team.

Mason, J’La Brandon and Precious Harvey were selected to the All Tournament

team with Harvey tapped as the tournament MVP. The Lady Chargers will host a freshman sectional tournament at a date TBA facing the runner-up from the Memphis District.

Individual Scoring: Dyer County: M. Hamilton- 4; K. Richardson- 4; C. Spence- 3; A. Webb- 8; E. Jackson-7; A. Hodge- 3; B. Pugh- 3 CHS: J’La Brandon-5; Precious Harvey- 13; Janeika Mason-20; Nykia Grandberry-9

Cardinals hand Choctaws first loss

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Brighton’s leading scorer during the season had a bit of an off night Friday night at home against District 13-AAA frontrunner Dyer County.

Demetrius Dyson finished with just nine points, which is six below his season average.

But he came up with a huge bucket when it counted most.

He tipped in a Broderick Fayne miss as time expired to give the Cardinals a huge 90-88 victory.

The win meant Brighton and Dyer County finished with identical 7-1 district marks. By virtue of an 8973 win over Brighton earlier in the season, Dyer County will get the No. 1 seed in the district tournament, which begins Saturday in Brighton.

“Those guys are very, very talented,” Brighton coach Jason Morgan said of Dyer County, which is ranked No. 6 in Class 3A. “Psychologically, hopefully this gets us over the hump.

It was a war. We happened to get the best of them on this night.”

Brighton (21-6) led by 19 points early in the third quarter before Dyer County mounted a comeback. Fred

Yarbrough hit two free throws 17 seconds left to finally tie the score at 88-88.

Brighton point guard Jonathan Stark came off a high screen as the clock ticked under eight seconds and misfired on a jumper.

Fayne’s tip came with three seconds. The Brighton players stormed the court after Dyson’s game-winner was good.

Stark led Brighton with 15 points. Fayne added 12 points and eight rebounds.

Demarius Adams finished with 10 and Tray Johnson added eight.

Robert Hubbs had a huge game for Dyer County with 40 and John Hudson added 20.

The teams could face one another again soon.

Dyer County will play the Munford-Hardin County winner Saturday night at 6 in the first semifinal. Brighton will play Jackson North Side at 7:30 in the second semifinal.

The winners will play for the tournament title Tuesday night at 7:30, with the losers playing in the consolation game at 6.

In girls action, Brighton defeated Dyer County 67-40 to secure the third seed in the district tournament.

Senior Britt Sanford finished with 23 points and scored her 1,000th career

The 2010-11 basketball season came to an abrupt end for the Covington Lady Chargers on Tuesday night at Obion Count as the ninth ranked Dyersburg Lady Trojans handed CHS a 50-44 loss in the opening round of the District 13 AA girl’s basketball tournament.

The fourth seeded Lady Trojans (24-6) had all they could handle from Covington, which finishes the year at 16-12; their first winning mark in overall and district play in the past several seasons.

The Lady Chargers held a six point advantage at the end of the first period at 13-7 having turned DHS over 4 times in the quarter while shooting the ball well from the floor and from the line.

The second period was a different story altogether.

Covington went cold from the floor.

They were outscored 19-8 in the period; made only two of six attempts at the free throw line and played matador defense allowing Dyersburg virtually uncontested runs at snowbirds inside all quarter.

All that translated into a 26-21 Lady Trojans half time lead.

CHS continued to struggle from the stripe in the 3rd although Ke’Suana Griggs finally connected on two three-pointers to give Covington their first points outside the paint in the game.

Still they were outscored by four in the frame to enter the fourth trailing 41-32.

The Lady Trojans tried to give the game away in the final period. Covington scored the first 12 points

point for the Lady Cardinals. Ashia Jones added 11.

Brighton (11-15) will host second-seeded Hardin County Friday night at 7:30 in one semifinal. Top-seeded JNS will play either Dyer County or Munford at 6 in

the first semifinal (Munford and Dyer County played an elimination game late Tuesday).

The girls consolation game will be held Monday night at 6, followed by the title game at 7:30.

of the quarter to take a 4441 lead with 1:27 left in the game on a three by Griggs and a lay-up by Charlette Payne.

Dyersburg senior Lauren Evans, with a kind bounce from the rim, got DHS’ firstpoints in the period at the 1:18 mark to tie the game at 44 on a three from the deep left corner.

Covington in-bounded with the score tied and a chance for the last shot but was called for a questionable offensive foul at midcourt with 53.2 ticks left.

Evans drained another long ball to give Dyersburg a 47-44 lead with 41.2 remaining.

CHS got two more possession but was unable to score and having to foul gave up a free throw and a lay-up for the final margin.

Dyersburg’s Kay Tate was the game’s leading

scorer with 13 points.

Lauren Evans added 11 for the Lady Trojans.

Ke’Suana Griggs closed out her CHS career leading the Lady Chargers with 12 points. Iesha Carruthers also scored 12 for Covington.

DHS committed 12 turnovers and Covington 12.

CHS again fell short at the line hitting on only 7 of 18 attempts (39 percent).

Dyersburg did not fare much better making 10 of 18 (55 percent).

Individual scoring: Dyersburg: R. Wesley- 1; K. Tate- 13;C. Swift-6; J. Taylor- 9; R. Gauldin- 4; L. Evans- 11; M. Butler- 6 CHS: Kamesha Vanpelt1; Charlette Payne- 4; KeSuana Griggs- 12; Precious Harvey- 3; Nykie Grandberry- 4; Iesha Carruthers- 12; Demiah Eaton- 6; Janeika Mason- 2

Lady Cougars defeat Hardin in overtime Munford sophomore Kelsey Briggs scored a game-high 26 points Saturday night at home as the Lady Cougars defeated Hardin County 55-53 in double overtime.

The Lady Cougars (13-12) led 12-3 after one quarter, but Hardin County won the third period 17-7 to make things tight the rest of the way.

Alex Turner had a big game for Munford with 13 points and Shayliah Wiggins added eight.

Holly Robinson led Hardin County with 18 points.

FACS ends Rebels' season

Dyersburg ends Lady Chargers season

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Pictured L to R receiving Freshman District Championship trophy are: Coach Katrisha Glass; J'La Brandon; Janeika Mason, Precious Harvey, Nykia Grandberry, Coach Katasha Poindexter and Kiera Whitson.

In boys’ action, Munford got 12 points a piece from Antonio Moore and Anton Smith in a 70-48 win over Hardin County, which completed a season sweep of the Tigers.

Munford led by 10 after one quarter and 16 at the half.

In a game of runs, First Assembly Christian School had one final answer Tuesday night at home against Tipton-Rosemark Academy in the first round of the Division II-A Region Tournament.

Already holding a 39-30 lead with 58 seconds left in the third quarter, FACS went on an 8-0 run over the next three minutes and cruised down the stretch to a 56-36 win.

FACS advanced to play St. George’s in the quarterfinals and ended TRA’s season at 11-15.

“When you dig a hole against an athletic team like that, it’s tough,” TRA coach Dan Martin said after the game. “I thought we showed a lot of character to come back though.”

Early on it looked like FACS was going to run away with the game. The Crusaders went on a 13-0 that spanned the first and second quarters and led

26-6 with 5:38 left in the first half.

But the Rebels had an answer. TRA junior J.T. Moody hit a three and scored seven points in the second quarter as the Rebels ended the second half on a 15-0 run to trim the lead to five.

After FACS scored the first four points of the third quarter, TRA junior Kevin Sansom hit a 3-pointer to get the lead back down to six, but the Rebels never got any closer.

Dominick Robbins did the most damage for FACS, scoring 16 of his game-high 26 points in the second half.

R.J. Jackson finished with 14 for FACS. Senior Vinny Giannino led the Rebels with 10 points.

Moody finished with nine and Sansom had seven.

FACS used a 3-2 zone the entire game and it seemed to disrupt the Rebels’ offense for most of the game.

“They were so big up front,” Martin said, “it was hard for us to make passes.”

Lady Cruisers eliminate TRA

By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Tipton-Rosemark Academy hung tough for a while Tuesday night against First Assembly Christian School in the first round of the girls Division 2-A Region Tournament.

But a strong third quarter was more than enough to lead FACS past TRA, 6942, ending the Lady Rebels’ season.

When Courtney Ankebrant hit a 3-pointer and Catie Montague followed with a stick-back basket, the Lady Rebels led 16-15 with 34 seconds left in the first quarter.

But FACS pushed the lead to 12 by halftime and went on a 9-3 run midway through the third quarter to take control. FACS’s lead was 54-34 by the end of the third quarter.

“The third quarter has been our toughest quarter all year,” TRA coach Mike Adair said. “I don’t know if it’s a mental thing or what … But I couldn’t be prouder of the girls. This is a stepping stone to build on.”

Julanne McCommon led the Lady Rebels with 13

points. Ankebrant hit two 3-pointers in the first quarter and finished with nine.

Montague scored 10 for the Lady Rebels.

Lynecia Christian and Marlene Hickman led FACS with 12 points each and Rachel Lucus added nine.

TRA finished the season at 5-21, a three-game improvement over last year.

“Last year we were a whipping post all year,” Adair said. “We were a lot more competitive this year.

We won games. Last year we were getting beat by 15 and 20 points every game … I don’t care what people say. The girls didn’t quit all year. I’ve had championship teams in football but I didn’t enjoy them as much as I enjoyed this year.”

Following the game, fans in the gym could easily hear the TRA coaches and players cheering in the locker room. The cheer was for the team’s lone senior, Jordan Whitley.

“I think we’re headed that way,” Whitley said when asked if she though the program was headed up. “We’re playing more as a team now. I think they could go far.”

Haywoods dumps CHS freshman for title

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader They are good enough that they beat their own varsity squad. The Haywood Tomcat freshman boy’s basketball team showed their stuff on Saturday dropping the Covington Charger freshmen 60-40 in the district championship contest at Castellaw Gym. These guys are long, fast and can shoot. Watch out 13 AA for

the next few years if they stay together.

CHS jumped out to an early 11-2 lead at the 5:09 mark in the 1st period and seemed to be in control. It didn’t last.

Haywood used the 3 ball and the speed and court savvy of point guard and tourney MVP Tarcus Hughes to keep CHS at bay for the remainder of the game.

Covington made an early run in the opening minutes

of the 3rd period cutting the margin to 1 but they could not get over the hump and were again down by 3 at quarter’s end. Haywood dominated the 4th outscoring the Chargers 19-6 to put the game away.
