Liquor store growth visible Sellers’ ranks could double from 3 to 6 By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

Reaping rewards 42 schools in top 5 percent in state for scores, growth

By Jane Roberts robertsj@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2512

Days are often long for people who make a living in public education. If Aug. 21 felt that way, it may have been the sugar buzz or the extra work of planning parties. By midmorning, principals in 42 Memphis-area schools had received word that their schools were in the top 5 percent in the state for test scores or gains over last year. Both come with the sweet praise of being a State Department of Education “reward” school, the leading 10 percent in a state making fast gains. Middle College High has the distinction of being the only school in Shelby County — one of 17 in the state — to pull of both the highest scores and fastest growth. “It’s a huge honor,” said principal Docia Generette, searching for words. “It’s a huge honor. The teachers have been working so hard.”

Five months after Germantown adjusted its ordinances to double the amount of acreage that could hold a liquor store, the city has received three applications for new stores, including two considered at a meeting Monday night. One of the three stores is already up and operating. Of the two new applications, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to approve one at 3078 Village Shops Drive and delayed a vote on another in the Carrefour at Kirby Woods shopping center to verify its distance from residential properties. Before the change in the liquor ordinance, the city was home to three liquor and wine stores. The fourth store was approved since the change in March, and if the two considered Monday get approval from the state, it would bring the city’s total to six. March’s ordinance change matched the alcoholic beverage ordinance to the city’s zoning code, which was changed in 2007 to allow liquor stores in most shopping areas. The second was to add the rest of the shopping district to the code. Alderman Forrest Owens, who had previously called the change in legislation a “housekeeping” issue that would not create a rush of new liquor stores in the city, said Monday the increase in stores is within his expectations. “I think economic developSee LIQUOR, 2

In the News MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

Deadline passes, suburban races confirmed Late filings provide extra contests By Clay Bailey bailey@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2393

As the Aug. 21 noon deadline passed for the November municipal elections in several suburbs in Shelby County, late ilings provided additional contested races in Germantown and Collierville. John Barzizza and Mary Chick Hill iled their petitions Aug. 21 to run in separate Germantown races for alderman. And John

Stamps III qualiied to face incumbent Billy Patton in Collierville’s Position 2 aldermanic race. The passing of the deadline also conirmed the most signiicant absence from the ballot as longtime Germantown Position 2 Alderman John Drinnon did not ile a petition seeking a sixth term. There was little activity at the county Election Commission oices near Shelby Farms as the deadline passed — a signiicant diference from previous years when potential candidates rushed to the commission oice

to ile as oicials locked the doors at noon signifying the deadline. In those days, interested parties milled around outside the oice to see who iled for what oices. Online updates and requirements that petitions be designated for a candidate have minimized the need for such monitoring and eliminated most last-minute surprises. Germantown is electing a mayor, along with two aldermen. Collierville will elect three aldermen, while several suburbs have school board races. In Germantown, Alderman Mike Palazzolo and recently

retired Germantown employee George Brogdon face of to ill the seat left vacant when Mayor Sharon Goldsworthy decided not to run. In the suburb’s Position 1 race, incumbent Greg Marcom faces a late challenge from Barzizza, who filed qualifying papers Thursday morning. In Position 2, Hill also iled her petition Thursday morning to face Mary Anne Gibson for Drinnon’s aldermanic oice. As for the Germantown school board races, Position 4 member Lisa Parker is unopposed, but Position 2 incumbent Mark Dely is

challenged by Gary Tigert. Of the three races for alderman in Collierville, only Position 1 incumbent Maureen Fraser will run for re-election without opposition. Patton and Stamps will vie for the Position 2 seat on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. In Position 4, incumbent alderman Tom Allen faces Greg Cotton, who qualiied Wednesday. In the Collierville school board races, incumbents Wanda Chism in Position 2 and Catherine Messerly in Position 4 will be re-elected without opposition.

In brief

OSTRANDER AWARDS

from 1

CO L L I E RV I L L E

Last year, the merged school district had 33 schools on the reward list. At Crosswind Elementary in Collierville, principal Kim Lampkins slipped out of the Day-Glo vest she wears to direct traic in the morning and prepared to hoist the “Reward School” banner. Crosswind hits test scores out of the park nearly every year. On exams the students took last spring, the school’s lowest score was 83.2 percent proicient in reading, 33.7 percent higher than the state average. Crosswind has been on the reward list three times in four years. Under its waiver from No Child Left Behind laws, Tennessee identifies its exemplary schools, plus those in bottom 5 percent (Priority Schools) and the 10 percent (Focus Schools) that have the largest achievement gap between racial and ethnic groups and other minorities. Focus and priority schools must have plans in place to improve. Priority schools also can be taken over by the Achievement School District. This year’s reward list recognizes 67 schools for overall academic achievement and 84 schools for annual value-added growth. On Tuesday, the state released the priority list, drawn once every three years. Shelby County had 69 schools on the list in 2012 (all in Memphis); it now has 50. At Middle College, students scored an average 95 percent proicient in English 1, up 17.4 percent; 93.8 percent proicient in English 2, up 33.8 percent, and 96.8 in algebra 1, up 11.8 percent. In a few days, its teachers will be driving around town with Superman logos on their bumpers, a great big 5 replacing Superman’s “S.” “Below that, it’s going to say Level 5 Professional,” says Generette. Level 5 teachers are the highest performing teachers in Tennessee. Half of any teacher’s job review is tied to how well their students perform.

LIQUOR from 1 ment is good and competition is good, and I think the residents of Germantown feel the same way,” Owens said. Chris Vescovo, one of the owners of the Kirby Wine and Liquors store at Kirby and Poplar, spoke out against the Carrefour liquor store application. With his business technically over the border into Memphis, he said he had to abide by the Memphis limits of being 1,500 feet from another liquor store. Germantown does not have such a ruling, although the city does have a limit of stores that can be built based on population. Vescovo also issued concerns that the proposed liquor store in the Carrefour center would not be the necessary 200 feet from residential property. Economic and community development director Cameron Ross said he would “triple check” that it was in fact far enough away, and would bring that information back to the board for reconsideration.

With “Young Frankenstein” leading the parade, Theatre Memphis marched out of the Orpheum Sunday night with 16 trophies from the Ostrander Awards. The annual celebration of local theater achievements was a night of entertainment, with performances from several productions in the past year and hosted by Sister Myotis, the hilarious hyperrighteous church lady created by Steve Swift. Last year’s awards were dominated by Playhouse on the Square, but “this was Theatre Memphis’ year,” said awards coordinator Lindsey Roberts. “Young Frankenstein,” the Mel Brooks musical based on his 1974 comedy ilm, took seven awards for best musical, direction (Cecelia Wingate), leading actress in a musical (Leigh Eck), leading actor (Marques Brown), supporting actor (Rob Hanford), cameo role (Barry Fuller) and hair/wigs/ make-up. Theatre Memphis also did well with three bold productions in its Next Stage black box space. “Proof” won awards for best dramatic production, best small ensemble, lead actor in a drama (S.A. Weakley) and lighting (Jeremy Allen Fisher). “As You Like It” took honors for best supporting actress in a drama (newcomer Jillian Barron) and best costumes (Paul McCrae).

Early bird tickets are on sale for the “Downtown Derby Party” as a part of the 22nd annual Partners in Preservation & Taste of the Town event. The party will feature music by Six Degrees, a silent and live auction, and specialties from 20 area restaurants. It is 6-11 p.m. Sept. 13 in the Town Square Park. Tickets can bought at the old Train Depot at 125 N. Rowlett or online at mainstreet collierville.org Tickets for a table for 10 are $450. On. Sept 1, the price goes to $500 a table and $50 per person. The fundraiser helps the Main Street Collierville group host Town Square events and helps with several local projects. Call Main Street Collierville at 901-853-1666.

Lena Wallace as Annie Sullivan and Sydney Bell starred in Germantown Community Theatre’s “The Miracle Worker.” Recently, Wallace won the Ostrander Award for best leading actress.

Jerry Chipman won for best direction of a drama for “The Submission.” Theatre Memphis also reveled in wins for executive producer Debbie Litch (The Janie McCrary Putting it Together Award) and Cathy and Harold Richardson (Behind the Scenes Award). Other winners included Playhouse on the Square/Circuit Playhouse, with two awards for “Les Misérables,” two for “Hairspray” and one each for “Grace,” “4000 Miles” and “Red.” “Haint,” an original work by Justin Asher produced by New Moon Theatre Company, took two awards for best production of an original script and best set design. Germantown Community Theatre’s “The Miracle Worker” won best leading actress for Lena Wallace. John Rone, a longtime actor

and director in local productions, won the Eugart Yerian Lifetime Achievement Award. Rone said, “I’ve worked with so many who’ve won this award and I’m honored and humbled that people are impressed by what I do. Doing theater is like writing on water, so this is something tangible to have.” Playhouse’s Morgan Howard, who won for best supporting actress as Eponine in “Les Misérables,” also won the Larry Riley Rising Star Award. In the college division, the University of Memphis’ “Chess” won seven awards, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” took six and “Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine” earned two. Rhodes College’s McCoy Theatre won five Ostranders for “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” and four for “Anton in Show Business.”

A jury deliberated about 2½ hours Aug. 21 before convicting Sherrie Daly, the former wife of pro golfer John Daly, of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The charge was lodged after their son missed nearly 30 percent of his seventh-grade year in 2012-13 in Germantown. Tammy McKelroy, attendance secretary at the school at the time, testiied: “For the child being tardy, she told me on one occasion that she didn’t do mornings in her house.” Her son racked up 52 unexcused absences and four that were excused. Her son, now a 15-yearold Germantown High freshman, testiied in her defense that he sufered from severe asthma and allergies that have since calmed down. She is facing up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and a ine of up to $2,500. She is expected to be back in court next month.

GERMANTOWN ELEMENTARY

International Studies opens world to students Special to The Weekly

Germantown Elementary students learned about the diferent countries during International Studies. First-graders in Lindsey Luzar, Christine Moranville, and Maya Mims’ classes learned all about sombreros in honor of Mexico. The students learned that “sombra” is the Spanish word for shadow. It is thought that the hat’s name came from this, as it was built to cast a shadow over the person who wears it. Literally, it means “shade maker.”

During International Studies, the students decorated their own sombreros which they made from a cup and plate. GES third-graders will spend the year learning all about Australia. Recently they studied the diferent regions of Australia and practiced labeling them on a map. Egypt borders on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. GES fourthgraders learned about the geography of Egypt and identified some important geographic landmarks such as the Nile River.

While learning about Egypt, Germantown Elementary fourthgraders colored and labeled where the Nile River is located.

EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT

Boosting safety Germantown schools looking for better cell reception to aid safety protocols By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

When a cellphone doesn’t work inside Dogwood Elementary, it’s usually a minor annoyance, leaving teachers scurrying from their classrooms during breaks to ind reception. But in the case of an emergency, the only way to call out from the building is through a land line. “It’s always been an issue,” Dogwood principal Susan Pittman said. With the formation of the Germantown Municipal School District, the new administration is looking at ways to boost safety protocols in the district’s ive school buildings. Chauncey Bland, director of student services, said better cellphone reception at the three elementary schools and Houston Middle is at the top of the priority list. “If you’re stuck on one end of the building, you

could have no way to call for anything,” he said. The state promised the district a $25,000 safe schools grant, which Bland said is going toward cellphone boosters and radios for each school that will connect them to the district oice in case phone lines are down. Bland said he is collecting estimates on the boosters, and depending on the cost, they might purchase and install them immediately or phase them into the schools over time. Additional security cameras at some of the schools are also a priority. “Some schools have blind spots,” Bland said. In the case of an emergency, he said, parents’ instincts are usually to try and call their children’s cellphones. While he said the district encourages parents to contact the school and district main oices in emergencies, Bland knows parents still want the option to contact their student directly. “We want to get them

access but we want to make sure they use it responsibly,” he said. When the schools belonged to Shelby County, Bland said, each building had a radio that was used to contact buses. But the Germantown school district has no way to connect those radios to the new district oice. Bland said he hopes to purchase another radio for each school’s main ofice. Each school also has walkie-talkies, and could purchase more. Pittman said her school administrators each have a walkie-talkie, along with one staff member per grade and whoever is with the children outside at recess. Each school’s resource oicer also has a walkie-talkie, and each classroom has a panic button to alert the main oice of a problem. “Any additional (equipment) is always welcome,” Pittman said. “It just makes it that much safer and easier for communication.”

Families LIVING WITH CHILDREN

‘Because I said so’ can limit disputes By John Rosemond McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SUSAN BALLENGER /THE SACRAMENTO BEE

Ties that bind By Jennifer Weigel Chicago Tribune

’ve been divorced for three years, and my mother is still hoping it’s just a phase. “Are you sure you don’t want to invite him on vacation?” she will ask me of my ex-husband, whom she still adores. Although my ex and I include each other on every holiday, kid’s birthday and special occasion, I’m not going to be inviting him along on vacation any time soon. We’re in a great — but still divorced — spot. Still, she asks. And I’m hardly an exception. A divorce may separate a couple, but it doesn’t necessarily extend to in-laws. And this, in turn, leads to tricky situations. What do you do when your family is in love with your former spouse? Or you’re in love with your former in-laws? How does everybody establish boundaries while still keeping the peace and moving forward? Although it’s not always easy to maintain or sever ties, it’s worth the efort to assess your situation and ind the best solution for everyone involved. In many ways, it’s easier to accomplish today than it was in earlier generations. “I was a product of a divorce in the ’80s, and any time my parents and extended family were in the room, it was so uncomfortable,” said Linda Perry, a divorce consultant and author of the e-book on mediation “A Clearer Path: The Divorce Consultants Complete Guide to Divorce.” “But today, my kids — who are products of divorce — ind it incredibly easy to be in the same room with my former in-laws and me because my ex and I set the foundation that (it’s) OK for everybody to get along.” Perry said that unless there has been a history of physical or emotional abuse in the marriage, making it important to limit if not end personal connections, having a friendly relationship with your ex and his

Sometimes divorce is easier than letting go of in-laws or her family can be beneicial, especially if children are involved. “In divorce, you don’t only lose a partner, you lose an entire side of the family,” Perry said. “The old way of doing things was to declare war, but today it’s about inding new ways of communicating.” And these days, it’s easier than ever to ind those new ways. Technology makes it easier to stay in touch, said Stacy Kaiser, a licensed psychotherapist based in Southern California and author of “How to Be a Grown Up: The Ten Secret Skills Everyone Needs to Know” (HarperOne). Here are additional tips from the experts on navigating post-divorce relationships with ex in-laws:

set BoundaRIes If you and your former in-laws are still lovey-dovey, be sensitive to your ex’s feelings; a divorced spouse watching from the sidelines as his or her parents continue a close relationship with an ex can be mildly annoyed to highly exasperated. If you’re frustrated, talk to your own family irst. “My mom stayed close to my ex-husband for a while, and she would call him and invite him to things all the time, and inally, I had to say, ‘Please check with me irst,’” Perry said. “Enforce it gently — there’s no need to be defensive. Just say, ‘This is a sensitive issue for me, and it’s OK to include him from time to time, but I need to be sure that it’s something I’m comfortable with.’ cReate a schedule Connecting with “ex-laws” on predetermined dates can defuse potential jealousy or resentment from all parties. Perry, who is also an integrated life coach, has worked with many couples to establish a schedule, either with a mediator or through a coun-

selor, to address time spent with former in-laws. “I had a couple set things up in mediation, and it avoided so many problems,” Perry said. “They talked about when the grandparents will see the kids and what the holidays would look like. It helped lay the groundwork for how things would go for all of them, and the extended family had to follow suit.” Ask your former in-laws how they’d like to move forward. “Sometimes you’re closer to your ex’s family than you are to your own, so letting go of that daily contact might be tough,” Kaiser said. “Some can handle it, while others need a clean break because it’s painful, so I think the irst thing you do is check in with the ex’s family.” But be prepared to withdraw gracefully if your former in-laws are not yet ready for a relationship, Kaiser said.

Be honest aBout youR motIves Are you sure you aren’t clinging to an ex’s family in the hopes that you will still be connected to your former spouse? “For some people, desire to be in contact with an ex means that either they are harboring some hope of getting back together or that they are still trying to keep the connection that they once had,” Kaiser said. “A lot of people who want to be in contact with their ex don’t take the time to igure out the underlying motivation for it and as a result can end up hurt, blindsided or rejected. It’s important to be clear in your own mind about your reasoning for wanting to stay connected.” technology to the Rescue “The old-school way was (that) all ties were severed during a divorce and your ally was your blood relative,” Kaiser said. “Nowadays, there’s e-mail, and texting. You can be in peripheral touch.” Social media ofers another option: “With Facebook, you can keep those former in-laws in the loop with pictures, but it’s not intrusive or hurtful,” Kaiser said. “The best practice is to try and ind a balance between taking care of what you need and being considerate of everyone else’s feelings.”

I absolutely love it when people begin to realize that the problems they’re having with a child are of their own making; when they begin to realize, in other words, that the child is not the problem — they are! All this time (however long that might be), they’ve been trying to correct the wrong person — the child — getting nowhere and becoming nothing but frustrated in the process. Instead, they need to correct themselves, and it goes without saying that correcting one’s self is much, much easier than trying to correct someone else. So, for example, when parents tell me their child will not do what he is told, I ask, “Is it possible that you aren’t really telling — that you are pleading and bribing and bargaining and cajoling and encouraging and then, when all that fails, demanding and threatening and screaming?” I point out that there is a simple secret to getting a child to do what he is told. It’s the diference between “You could really help Mommy out by picking up these toys” and “I want you to pick up these toys, right now.” Parents are often amazed to discover that children actually do what they are told (usually, that is, because there is no way to create perfection with imperfect materials). Another example involves parents who describe their kids as being argumentative. Almost always, the problem is that these parents are explaining themselves. The typical sequence goes as follows: First, a parent makes a decision or issues an instruction; second, the child demands to know the reason behind the parent’s action; third, the parent gives the reason; fourth, the child begins to protest that the reason is not valid or good enough; ifth, the parent begins to justify and defend the reason, and the argument is on! The simple solution, therefore, to the problem of the so-called “argumentative child” is for the parent to stop giving long-winded explanations and to instead begin using the most powerful four words in parenting: Because I said so. These simple solutions beneit parents, for sure, but they also beneit children. Studies have discovered what common sense will affirm: Obedient children are much, much happier than disobedient children. Put even more concisely: Arguing is no fun for anyone.

Son’s road test takes dad on a trip down memory lane The moment my irst child was born, I stood for a moment in disbelief. “I’m a father,” I said over and over in my head. There were other thoughts going through my mind as well; it was a virtual white-noise machine of worry and elation and wonder in there. Walking the hallways of Baptist Hospital-East, I nodded at other new fathers in recognition and wide-eyed amazement at what we’d just witnessed and at what we’d suddenly become. There have been other milestones over the years, of course, now having four children in the stable. There were irst days of school, where the parents looked more frightened than the kids. There

RICHARD J. ALLEY Because I saId so

was the irst time riding a two-wheel bike when pride swelled us up to near bursting. There was the irst trip to the emergency room and the fear that we’d somehow damaged our child. Last week was another milestone as I took my son to get his driver’s license. It was, like that irst day of kindergarten, a moment when I wanted to take his hand and usher him through each step. But I

was only there to sign any necessary paperwork. He illed out forms, answered the examiner’s questions and, inally, took the keys from me and went out to the car, alone. I waited in the lobby. I could see him there, behind the wheel, awaiting the examiner to join him. I looked away, unable, or unwilling, to watch him back out of that tight spot and begin the road test. When I looked again, the car was gone. Somewhere, out on Summer Avenue, he was driving — nervous, anxious, excited — as the stranger beside him checked off boxes and made notations on her clipboard. Such anxiety and expectation is a rite of passage in itself.

For any parent, it is a milestone moment to hand over the car keys to a newly minted teen driver. Sometimes, that first ride can be a trip down memory lane.

Meanwhile, I stood in disbelief as I had that day in the maternity ward where it had all begun. The other parents and I raised our eyebrows in acknowledgment that we, too, were experiencing a sort of rite. “I’m a father,” I thought again. In the time he was

out on the road, my mind lew back to the beginning and his birth, that irst trip down the block on his bicycle, that visit to the emergency room and his irst days of school. I saw him again as a baby, a toddler, a little boy running with his siblings and frightened at night of the dark. That government building on Summer — that cramped, nondescript bunker — is not much of a place for an emotional slideshow, yet I’m sure it’s had its share. It wasn’t too long before Calvin and his examiner returned. His poker face is such that I couldn’t read him at all, had no idea how it had gone and, once again, I wanted to take his hand and ask if he was OK.

But this was his moment and embarrassment need not be a box checked of the road test. It wasn’t until the examiner told him to step in front of the blue cloth to have his picture taken that he exhaled and the color returned to his face. I’m wondering when I’ll be able to exhale. It’s been 16 years of worry and elation and wonder, and every day I’m amazed at what these kids are capable of and where, on the road of parenthood, they’ll drive me next. Richard J. Alley is the father of two boys and two girls. Read more from him at richardalley.com. Become a fan of “Because I Said So” on Facebook: facebook.com/ alleygreenberg.

Shopping-center access plans protested at board meeting By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

It wasn’t the new Hinton Park construction project or even the long-term plans for widening part of Poplar Avenue that turned out one neighborhood to the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting. Both the $2.8 million Hinton Park project and the long-term design and environmental plans for widening Poplar from two to ive lines sailed through Monday night’s meeting. What generated the most controversy was the preliminary site plans for an almost two-acre shopping center on Market Boulevard and Civic Center Drive and Warwick Willow Lane. After Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser failed to get a second to approve the

site plan, the board voted unanimously to delay a decision until a more detailed traic study is done. A less-detailed traic study indicated that the site development “will not result in any measurable increase to traic entering or exiting from Warwick Willow Drive to Market. This roadway only serves Oakmont subdivision and is not an attractive cutthrough for patrons of the new development.” Nevertheless, Oakmont residents remain concerned about potential cutthrough traic into their nearby subdivision. “We want the board to watch out for all of the stakeholders,” said Kathy Kennedy, president of the Oakmont Homeowners Association. At one point Kennedy asked the 20 to 30 Oakmont residents to raise their hands or stand up at the meeting, but Mayor

Stan Joyner reminded her, “This is not a pep rally.” He asked her to direct her comments to the board. At issue are two curb cuts into the proposed center that would align with two streets going into their subdivision — Warwick Willow Lane and Green Oaks Drive. The preliminary site plan calls for an almost 15,000-square-foot building that would have space for eight tenants. Michael Lightman with Lightman Realty sought the site-plan approval for almost two of the nine acres that he bought 15 years ago after developing and opening Malco Theatres’ Collierville Towne Cinema at 380 Market Blvd. to control what was built near his theater. “I really want them to be happy with this development,” he said of the Oakmont neighbors.

Sports IN MEMORIAM

Lobos Rush soccer standout McGuire dies week after collapse By Zack McMillin zmcmillin@commercialappeal.com 901-300-9225

A homegoing celebration for former St. Benedict and Lobos Rush soccer standout Michael McGuire will be 6 p.m. Thursday at Bartlett Baptist Church, with visitation preceding at 4 p.m. Mr. McGuire, 18, died last Friday, almost one week after collapsing at an Aug. 16 workout session at Division 2 Belmont Abbey College near Charlotte, North Carolina. Mr. McGuire was a 6-3, 185-pound BOP All-Metro defender who lived in Bartlett and was preparing for his freshman season at Belmont Abbey. Belmont Abbey spokesman Rolando Rives said Monday that the session in which Mr. McGuire collapsed occurred late morning on a day that weather records show was pleasant — the high temperature for the day only reached 86. It was not a full practice

but a conditioning session in which Mr. McGuire was trying to ma ke a specific Michael time — he McGuire had missed making the required time two days earlier, Rives said. Rives said a trainer was present at the workout. Social media posts from Mr. McGuire’s family indicate that, after collapsing and being taken to the hospital, he was battling swelling issues and excessive bleeding. “Please pray for control of the bleeding and better circulation in his feet,” his mother, Donna, wrote on Twitter. She said that he had lost many units of blood. The family’s Christian faith has been evident in their posts, and also was evident on many of the posts Michael put on Twitter in the weeks and months

OFF AND RUNNING Ruth Wiggins of Briarcrest was the girls winner at the 2014 Cross Country jamboree last Saturday. Wiggins, a junior, moved this summer from Riverside, Calif. In very warm, humid conditions she covered the 5K course at Shelby Farms in 19:12. Sammy Brainard of Collierville was second. In the boys race, Germantown’s Charles Baird was second and Briarcrest’s James Basse took third. DAVID BOYD/THE WEEKLY

preceding his departure for Belmont Abbey. “His family has been amazing and so faithful through all this,” Rives said. “They are so appreciative of the prayers going out for their son. We are respectful of that and it continues so he is remembered by everybody.” Mr. McGuire leaves his parents, Jef and Donna McGuire; two sisters, Abby and Nikki McGuire; a brother, Jefrey “Boomer” McGuire; grandparents Mike and Pat Ford of Bartlett; a grandmother, Cheryl McGuire of Albuquerque; and a greatgrandmother, Lois Daniels. In lieu of lowers, an account has been set up to assist the family with expenses. Checks should be made payable to “Michael McGuire Fund” and deposits will be accepted at any BankTennessee location or mailed to BankTennessee, 2915 Forest Hill-Irene Road, Germantown, TN 38139.

HOUSTON’S GIRLS SOCCER

Committed to winning Lady Mustangs went 23-0-1 and won the state title in 2013 al Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. “The biggest thing is they get to see what it is to be a winner,” said Houston coach David Wolf. “What pro athletes do to make a diference, how they view their journey. The Mustangs went through conditioning drills in the morning and then played soccer at night. “The best thing about preseason training is it’s really hard,” said senior Kirsty Adams. “It helps a lot in getting us ready.” Houston reached the top spot in the national rankings at one point last season, a terriic accomplishment for what is annually one of the strongest programs in the state. The only blot on their record was a 1-1 draw against St. George’s. But as disappointing as that result may have been, it was also a turning point. “It was a big reality check,” said senior Connie Strini. Houston went on to win the championship, the fourth in school his-

A summer trip to Florida usually means a chance to laze around the pool, catching a few rays while digging into that latest best-seller. But the Houston High girls soccer team’s summer trip to Florida was all about work, lots of it. And they wouldn’t have it any other way. In the continuation of a tradition that’s been going on for a few years now, the Mustangs spent part of the summer working out at Tom Shaw’s training center at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee. Shaw’s center has trained 142 irstround NFL draft picks, nine No. 1 overall picks and 10 Super Bowl MVPs. And one soccer team from Shelby County with designs on being even better that it was in 2013, when it went 23-0-1, won the AAA state championship and inished the season ranked third in the Nation-

tory, with a 3-1 victory over Ravenwood. And with the return of most of last year’s key players — save for AllAmerican forward Kelsey Pearce, who’s now at Mississippi State — the Mustangs are the favorites to get back to Murfreesboro. Wolf is expecting big things from junior Gabby Little, who scored 18 goals while earning NCSAA allsouth region honors. “I think I’ve stepped more as a leader,” Little said. “We’re comfortable; it’s practically the same team and we all feel good about each other.” Other returning standouts include midfielder Robyn Pennella, who scored the go-ahead goal in the state title game and also earned all-south honors, and defender Caroline Heavey, an all-metro performer who has committed to Chattanooga. Strini and sophomore Paola Ellis also earned all-metro recognition and there’s a ton of promising young talent waiting in the wings. Not that complacency is an issue. The players are quick to repeat one of Wolf’s mantras: Work hard, or you’ll be replaced.

Prep Sports Girls soccer outlook A capsule look at the top Shelby-Metro area girls prep soccer teams:

ARLINGTON After a terriic 17-3-3 year, Zeke Vezina’s Tigers have all the pieces in place to make a serious AAA state tournament run. Senior Kylie huey (27 goals, 16 assists) will be one of the area’s best, while Kylee bright returns after scoring nine times as a freshman. Sophomore Taylor peterman adds another dimension to the attack and there are also some very talented freshmen on hand. The loss of talented midielder bobbie Willis (torn ACl) could be costly, though.

BARTLETT heading into his second season with the lady panthers, robby Midyett welcomes back all 11 starters, which should make for a very good season. players to keep an eye on are seniors Kayla doyle and lexie Kavoian and juniors Grace White, Anna Venckus and Carly eakin.

BRIARCREST Alexis heinz’s team is seasoned, talented and eager to make another state tournament run after losing in the d2-AA semiinals last year. dartmouth commitment Alyssa neuberger had 18 goals in 2013 and could get a few more this year, with help from brittany hatmaker (11 goals) and midielder Allison Samisch. Four-year starter Megan henry is the top defender, while freshman Ashton pugh can contribute from virtually any spot on the ield.

COLLIERVILLE brittany Streger takes over the lady dragons, who will look to push houston for irst place in the district and region. Senior Missy Tammi strikes a ball as well as anyone in the area while Kammi McGee and elizabeth Chesek bring plenty of speed to the attack. Karsyn Sewell brings lots of experience to the back line.

ECS Jordan Thompson’s eagles were hit hard by graduation but should be in the mix for another state tournament trip. Molly Martin has excellent goalscoring potential, while Jordan ricketts is very solid at outsidemidielder. Seniors peyton Clark and Tessa berner bring experience to the back line.

HOUSTON Can a team that went 23-0-1,

won the AAA state title and inished the year ranked third nationally be even better the following season? That could be the case with david Wolf’s Mustangs. best of the preps player of the year Kelsey pearce is at Mississippi State but inalists Gabby little (18 goals, 11 assists) and robyn penella are back along with three other all-metro performers, seniors Caroline heavey and Connie Strini and sophomore paola ellis.

SOCCER

Saints prevail

HUTCHISON A team that will be looking to pull some surprises, hutchison is full of promising young talent. Veteran defenders Alli herring and Katie hussey lead the way for ifth-year coach Candice Spiniolas.

ST. AGNES The area’s perennial d2-AA powerhouse, St. Agnes lost some important cogs. but coach bobby ireland said his team came back this summer it and ready to play. Wallis Atkinson (seven goals, seven assists), rachel Siano (three goals), Taylor burford and Melissa Maxwell are the cream of the returnees.

ST. BENEDICT The eagles lost a lot to graduation but third-year coach nick dreesman likes what he’s seeing from his freshmen and sophomores. Ciscily Crislip scored 10 goals in 2013 while Mallory barbier is back to anchor the defense in front of senior bailey Coppedge, one of the area’s top goalkeepers.

ST. GEORGE’S last season was a memorable one for the Gryphons, as they went 13-6-2 on the way to capturing the division 2-A state championship. leading scorer brittany Correia has graduated but there’s still plenty of talent on hand for veteran coach Tony Whicker. Three-year starter Madeline east chipped in with six goals last year while Sydney brown added ive. Karina Jensen leads the defense while sophomore isabel Correia, who missed most of last year due to illness, has great promise.

WHITE STATION The Spartans have a new coach in Julie Knowles and have started well, winning their irst two games. Jade pearce is the team’s standout and Knowles is excited about freshmen Caroline and Grace duncan.

Briarcrest Christian School’s Alyssa Neuberger (10) drives up the field as she’s chased by Collierville High School’s Lindsay Hale Aug. 19 in the first half at Michael Bell Field. Briarcrest led 1-0 at the half and went on to win 3-1.

Neuberger’s three goals lift Briarcrest over Collierville By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Briarcrest soccer coach Alexis Heinz was succinct in her assessment of star junior Alyssa Neuberger’s performance Aug. 19. “Thank God we have her for one more year,” she said. Neuberger was in top form for the Saints, scoring all three goals in a 3-1 victory over visiting Collierville in the season opener for both teams. The Dartmouth commitment got things going in the 19th minute when she found a hole in the Dragons’ defense to slot it home from close range. She made it 2-0 shortly after halftime, converting Kaitlin Echols’ free kick. “Collierville brought it,” said Heinz. “They had us back on our heels; they were physically outmanning us. But I thought in the second half we were able to turn that around and started doing the same thing to them.” The Dragons, playing their first game under new coach Brittney Streger, pulled one back midway through the half when speedy Kammi McGee pounced on a rebound and buried it into an open goal.

But the applause from the Collierville bench had barely died down when the Dragons were whistled for a penalty and Neuberger easily put it away to complete her hat trick. When asked if she had a scoring mindset, Neuberger said, “No, I’m just trying to be a good teammate. It’s good to get the season started with a win; we wanted to do it for our seniors and get us

Collierville tournament beset by fire, leak and blackout

Bartlett: entering her 24th season at the school, coach Sherrie Walker welcomes back three returning starters from last year’s team that lost in the sectionals. Senior outside hitter Kenzie Fields — a two-time bop player of the year inalist and an Arkansas State commitment — may be the best overall player in town and libero lindsey Farrell and middle hitter Melissa hale are solid.

Briarcrest: After losing to Chattanooga baylor in the d2-AA substate, Carla Anderton welcomes back a group that’s still very young, but extremely talented. Sophomore setter Callie Anderton already has over 800 career assists and classmate Kendal Strand (6-0) is a kill specialist. libero hannah Cox is also back after starting as an eighth-grader.

Special to The Commercial Appeal

Two or three years down the road, hundreds of girls who played in the Collierville Volleyball Classic may not remember who, finally, won the event. What it took to get there? That, they’ll remember. There was a brief sterno fire in the concession stand, and then there was, not a flood, but a steady leak of water onto the courts when an afternoon thunderstorm hit Collierville. The same one that caused a blackout at Houston. Only thing missing was a plague of locusts …. “We had to deal with wasps at our gym this morning,” St. George’s coach Emmy McClain said. “Will that do?” What was going to be a long day turned into an endless one as the entire tournament, still trying to get out of the first round of eliminations, was moved to St. George’s. “I’ve been at this for years, and never seen anything like we’ve just gone through. This is totally crazy,” said Elizabeth Bouchoc, whose daughter Emily is a senior on the Dragons squad. “But we’re having fun.” “I’m frazzled,” said Collierville coach Kenny Gass, as his team set up to play a second-round match with Hutchison after dealing with the blackout, and ad-

pumped for the season.” Said Streger, “We had some great moments and some gaps and they were able to take advantage of those gaps.” “One of the players said, ‘we play better when we’re angry’ and I asked, ‘what took so long to get angry?’ ” Streger said. “We should have never been down in the first place ... but they listened and that’s all you can ask.”

mitted “I’m not sure how focused my kids would be.” The Dragons did him proud, reaching the semifinals with a three-game win over the Sting. “I think they might have won it in spite of the coach,” Gass said as they moved into the semifinals against archrival Houston. Houston coach Becky Pendleton was set to have the Mustangs start warming up as quarterfinal foe Harding was two points away from a first-round win — when the lights blew. “In 13 years I’d never seen it where the power went out, and nothing came back, not a generator, not anything,” said Pendleton, whose team swept Harding and moved into the semis against Collierville. “My kids are ready to

get prepped and we had to move everything around. But it’s about staying mentally tough, and I’ve got a half-dozen kids who are tough as can be.” Mustangs star Olivia Novotny said she had to keep her focus watching other matches in a tournament laden with most of the top talent in this area and strong squads from Middle Tennessee. “If I start laughing and joking around, I lose it,” said Novotny. By contrast, when water started dripping on the backcourt, St. George’s was in the middle of winning its first game against Briarcrest. For the next 30 minutes, until the switch order came through the two neighboring teams amused themselves with a RockPaper-Scissors rally and a game called Elbow Tag.

Collierville: Kenny Gass’ dragons will be rebuilding now that some key players from last year’s state tournament team have graduated. Senior outside hitters lauren rodgers and emily bouchoc and middle hitter Sarah Shaw are all three-year starters and big things are expected from junior Ansley Matthews and senior Kennedy Kivisto. ECS: Senior and ifth-year starter Taylor Anderton (504 kills, 467 assists, committed to Samford) leads several key returnees for Tommy danner’s eagles. Middle hitter Tara norman (6-0), setter Kelsey Crunk and outside hitter olivia Allen will make eCS hard to beat, although depth could be an issue. Harding: district MVp ellie Arnett leads the way for coach Alyssa hall’s lions, who should compete for a d2-A state tournament spot. Senior Katelyn prine and juniors rachel hickman and Katie Grace Short will also play key roles. Houston: becky pendleton’s Mustangs will also be in a bit of rebuilding mode after losing several key players from last year’s team that inished ifth in the AAA state tournament. Krysta Medearis, Kylie hayes and olivia novotny return and Germantown transfer Katjana Gries will contribute plenty. Hutchison: First-year coach Michael ralph inherits a team that’s shot on experience but long on potential. Sophomores Kate Grace Cunningham (6-1) and raleigh Clark (6-3) are already drawing lots of college interest while scrappy Simmons Allen will anchor the

defense after impressing as an eighth-grader last year. Lake Cormorant: The Gators won a state title in 2013 and will be strong again despite losing three starters. emily Justice heads the list of returnees for coach Christina Morgan. Munford: longtime St. benedict coach Angie buchanan takes over at Munford, and she has a great building block in senior Cecily Gable who has committed to Austin peay. Middle hitter lily Turner is also very solid, but a new libero and setter must be found and depth is a concern. St. Agnes: The Stars won the d2-AA state championship in 2013 and have had the last two bop players of the year in Christina White and devan porter. This year, ryan Wallace’s team will have newer faces playing key roles, but returning players like Taylor halsey (Middle Tennessee State commitment) and Constance Connolly will make St. Agnes hard to beat as always. St. Benedict: First-year head coach Janet daleke welcomes back ive starters from last year’s d2-AA state tournament team. Senior setter Madison bond averaged 3.61 assists, while lauren hunter, bailey Cochran and Anna Graziosi hold things down up front. Alex Fuelling is solid at libero. St. Mary’s: All-metro performer eliza Williams will be the key if coach Kari duncan’s Turkeys are to challenge in a what will be a tough league. Juniors Taylor bone and bebe Chancellor will also play big roles. St. George’s: emmy McClain’s Gryphons are strong across the board and it will be a surprise if they’re not contending for the d2-A state championship at the end of the year. Fifth-year starter roxanna Wood (elon commitment) and juniors Sope Adeleye and Sophia Quesada lead a team that has great size and athleticism. White Station: Fifth-year coach Jessamyn bradley continues to do big things at White Station, which has been knocking on the AAA state tournament door in recent years. Junior Abigail duncan (523 kills, 432 digs) is a top college target, while setter Arati Joshi and libero Jessica Allen form a solid foundation ofensively and defensively.

wrapped up late Saturday night with Murfreesboro Siegel winning the title by defeating Houston in the finals. Siegel reached

the finals with a semifinal win over Briarcrest, while Houston defeated Collierville in order to play in the title match.

’Stangs edge Wolves in opener Moss-Pioreck rushes for 108 yards, 2 TDs By Hunter Field Special to The Commercial Appeal

Cordova and Houston opened with a thriller that ended in a failed Wolves’ Hail Mary in the inal seconds and a 26-19 Mustang victory last Friday at Cordova High. Houston head coach Will Hudgens loved the way his team battled to the end. “I’m so excited for the kids,” Hudgens said after the game. “Cordova never gave up, and our kids inished strong and I couldn’t be more proud.” Star turns: Senior running back Chase Moss-Pioreck was a workhorse for the Mustangs. He inished with 108 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns. “Our ofensive line was huge in helping us inish drives in the second half,” Hudgens said. “Having that experience up front is a huge advantage.” WHAT’S For t he Wolves, senior NEXT Lavar JohnCordova son ran for 79 plays at Kirby yards on 14 and houston carries.

QB Alex Smith keys Eagles’ second-half ofensive explosion By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Evangelical Christian School quarterback Alex Smith said he gave his coach headaches while trying to come to grips with the Eagles’ sophisticated ofense. Last Saturday, Smith gave Briarcrest plenty of headaches. Playing in his irst game in over a year after transferring from Fayette Academy, the senior threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more as the Eagles opened the year with a mistake-illed 42-28 victory over the visiting Saints. When asked if he thought he’d play so well Smith said, “I really didn’t. But I want to thank (head) coach (Geof) Walters for being patient with me. Learning the systems, the fundamentals was hard.” Smith sat out the entire 2013 season following his transfer

but studied diligently during the time of the ield. And it showed. He threw scoring passes of 27 and 83 yards to Stephen Oliver and 18 yards to Sadler Goodwin while also scoring on a pair of short keepers. “I’d call him three or four times a week and question him on the playbook,” said Walters. “And if he got them wrong, he’d be running. “Alex wasn’t successful (Saturday) because of what he did during this ofseason. He was successful because of what he’s done the year-and-a-half he’s been here.”

Evangelical Christian school junior running back Drew Croegaert evades Briarcrest sophomore Jake Powers as the Eagles hosted the Saints during Saturday night’s prep action. Croegaert scored the first touchdown for the Eagles as they prevailed 42-28 over the Saints.

Smith showed ability to make plays while scrambling — a

45-yard run set up his inal TD which came on a ive-yard run in

the fourth — and with his arm. “He’s got a cannon,” said Oliver. “On that (long) one, I don’t think he could have thrown it any more perfectly.” Smith was 13-of-20 for 240 yards passing and added 79 yards rushing. Briarcrest, which was playing its irst game under Brian Stewart, moved the ball well at times but had a lot of trouble with the quarterback-center exchange that helped stall some drives. There were also several turnovers and a lot of penalties, with ECS getting lagged ive times for personal fouls. “There were some blunders,” Walters said. “But a huge rival, standing room only crowd ... it’s hard to (replicate) those things in practice.” Ben Ellis threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Robby Arthur and added a short scoring run in the closing seconds for the Saints.
