Germantown Weekly YOUTH SPORTS

Dulins Sports sold for $1.3M Hardaway may make it basketball courts By Marlon W. Morgan morgan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2792

Dulins Sports Complex in Cordova has been sold to FBC LLC, a company whose president is former basketball star Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. The indoor facility at 7790 Fischer Steel Road, owned by Kenneth Parent of MultiSports Complex LLC and leased to Tim Dulin, has more than 40,000 square feet and was used for baseball, softball, martial arts, conditioning, soccer, lacrosse and other sports. It consists of two turf ields, eight batting cages, and a pitching machine. Hardaway’s company purchased the property for $1.3 million. Dulin believes Hardaway plans to convert the complex into basketball courts. Since 2012, Hardaway, a former University of Memphis and NBA star, has hoped to break ground on Penny’s FastBreak Courts — a $20 million facility across Fischer Steel that would house seven basketball courts, a rehabilitation clinic and classrooms for his youth sports training program. The program, which serves underprivileged children, used Methodist University Hospital’s gym at Wilson Hall on Eastmoreland and Claybrook. Attempts to reach Hardaway last week were unsuccessful. No work is evident on the proposed site of Hardaway’s complex on Fischer Steel. FBC iled a $739,500 loan through First Tennessee

The governor’s wife and Memphis native Crissy Haslam addresses parents and community leaders in front of the Books from Birth bus during her visit Monday to Collierville promoting the book program.

As a young girl growing up in Midtown, Crissy Garrett loved reading her “Winnie-the-Pooh” red hardback book so much that she wore the cover of. As Tennessee’s irst lady, Crissy Haslam wants parents to instill that same kind of zeal and passion by reading at least 20 minutes a day to their young children. Haslam rolled into Collierville’s Lucius E. and Elsie C. Burch Jr. Library about 12:20 p.m. Monday in a borrowed big blue tour bus to celebrate the 10th

Dr. Christopher Cooley of Germantown has a lot of children beaming, but for more reasons than you might think. During this past spring and summer, he donated 100 percent of proceeds from whitening services to children who face disabilities, serious illness, lack of medical care or decreased educational opportunities. This is all thanks to the Crown Council’s annual Smiles for Life campaign.

Board OKs park upgrades, ratifies tax break Incentivizes Shelby Group International By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Collierville expects children and adults will be playing lacrosse, soccer or pickup football on two new lighted, multipurpose athletic fields at Progress Road Park by next September. During the Sept. 8 meeting,

the Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved paying $14,600 for Memphis Light Gas & Water to install electrical upgrades on the four acres the town bought in July 2013. In other action, the board also ratiied a revised and enlarged 10-year tax break incentive for Shelby Group International Inc. for its headquarters of MCR Safety in Schilling Farms. Chip Petersen, director of parks, recreation and community services, told the board the

letic ields. Regarding the tax break, Collierville irst approved SGI’s Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) in 2012 for 10 years. Under the old PILOT, SGI through its company MCR Safety had planned to use 84.4 percent of its new corporate headquarters, but now oicials plan to use all of the building because of anticipated growth. In addition to the 103 jobs that SGA is keeping, the company is adding ive more positions with an average wage of

$62,900. The capital investment of personal property in new or transferred furniture, ixtures and equipment also has tripled from $2 million to $6.2 million. After a presentation by the town’s economic director, John Duncan, the board voted 6-0, without discussion, to ratify the plan, which had already gained approval from Collierville Industrial Development Board. With the revised PILOT, SGI will pay local taxes of $19,100 annually for the next 10 years.

from 1 refreshing Italian ice to eat. Many stood in line as artists drew lowers, super heroes and pirates on cherub faces. Book bags illed with goodies also were handed out. Before leaving, Haslam recognized Mary Lou Thesmar, 77, for helping get the Shelby County local efort going. “We worked out of then-county Mayor A C Wharton’s oice for almost a year inding addresses and calling families,” she said afterward. Known as the “Book Lady,” Thesmar had parents pick up books from the front porch of her Collierville home. Since that time, more than 3 million books have arrived in mailboxes and post offices in Shelby County — the largest cache in the state. The funding is split evenly between the state and local donors. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library selects the books that are specially printed, packaged and distributed. The program provides a free book each month, regardless of a family’s income, from birth to age 5. “We are starting to see results. We are starting to see our reading scores improve and tick up a little bit at a time,” Haslam said. A 2012 study by the Urban Child Institute and Memphis City Schools found that children who participated in the program have stronger early childhood reading habits and higher reading readiness scores. A follow-up this year linked participants to stronger reading performance in the second grade. The program has proved so successful, Haslam added, “Other states are trying to copy us.” While there are roughly 1,600 similar community programs throughout the country, Peter Abell with the Shelby County Books from Birth program said, “We’re the only state making this commitment to young parents. This is unique.” For more information, visit booksfrombirth.org. Click on the links to enroll a child or to ind out how to donate to the program.

A man looks over a stalled car in at the intersection of Bartlett Boulevard and Stage Road in Bartlett where clogged drains and lanes created widespread havoc Sept. 11 during morning rush hour, as the streets flooded. Many cars stalled in the intersection after trying to pass.

the commercial appeal

Rescuers plucked motorists from submerged cars, dozens of residents led their homes, and water rushed into businesses and public buildings Sept. 11 as intense, roof-rattling thunderstorms engulfed Greater Memphis with the area’s worst looding in three years. From the predawn hours and lasting until around midday, as much as 9 inches of rain saturated some areas, falling at rates of up to 3 inches per hour. Flooding menaced communities from Lauderdale County to DeSoto County, with Bartlett, Horn Lake and Southaven among the hardest-hit areas. The looding, the most extensive locally since the historic Mississippi River lood of May 2011, resulted from a storm system similar to one that rolled into the area during the last weekend in June. A low-level stream of warm, air that began lowing up the Mississippi Valley overnight collided with an approaching cold front from the north and then became wedged atop it, said National Weather Service meteorologist Scott McNeil. By around 4 a.m., lash-looding was reported in Lauderdale County, with torrential downpours in Bartlett, Covington and Millington soon to come. In a one-hour period ending around

7:40 a.m., more than 3 inches of rain fell in Bartlett, according to reports ielded by the weather service. The looding played havoc with morning rush-hour traic. Streets such as Bartlett Boulevard resembled rivers, and motorists attempting to cross them often became stranded. Shelby County Schools oicials announced they would excuse any students who were late or absent because of the weather. Shelby County and Bartlett City schools systems canceled afterschool activities. By late evening, the 4.45 inches reported at Memphis International Airport had shattered the previous record rainfall for the date of 1.87 inches, set in 1965. The highest reported total in Shelby County was 7.23 inches just north of Bartlett, but in DeSoto, residents reported 9 inches in an area between Olive Branch and Southaven. Cordova fared well in the torrential downpour, but Bartlett

Police reported on Twitter there were looding problems at several locations and some school crossing guards were unable to reach their posts. The department even tweeted its own version of the oftmentioned slogan “turn around. Don’t drown.” “DO NOT GO AROUND OFFICERS BLOCKING ROADWAYS,” the tweet stated. “You will get stuck.” On U.S. 70, a creek poured out of its banks, blocking all four lanes east of Germantown Road. “It’s pretty massive,” Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald said of the damage, adding that employees scattered to trouble spots to help with rescuing people from cars and deal with the high waters. Some 8 inches of water seeped into the banquet hall of the municipal center, and Bartlett High School sustained minor roof damage. At least 6 inches fell in the Lakeland area, prompting oicials to barricade streets in eight areas.

Houston High School students will now have to earn a 93 percent in a class instead of a 90 if they want to exempt out of a inal exam. Students will also no longer have an attendance requirement as part of that qualiication for exemption. The changes were part of a revised grading policy by the Germantown Municipal School District, approved by the school board last Monday and following a lengthy discussion in a work session earlier this month. Supt. Jason Manuel said in the work session that the policy at the time, which allowed students three absences, encouraged students to bank their days and essentially take the entire last week of school. He said students also came to school sick because they wanted to hang on to the days for the end of the year. Manuel said the high school administration asked for the change. The policy was one of 20 the board approved last Monday, in addition to revisions of three others. One of the revisions was to the district’s policy on personal time for classiied staf. Chief of staf Dan Haddow said that under the legacy Shelby County Schools, staf previously had a personal day to use once each school year that was taken away in the merger. The Germantown board approved a change to give that day back to the staf, effective this school year.

Dulin said he is in the midst of relocating to a facility in the GermantownCollierville area. The company’s website indicates the new facility will open in October. “Basically, our baseball business has grown so much over the last couple of years,” he said, “we just needed more space for all of our baseball activities.” Dulin said his new baseball-only facility will be about 17,000 square feet and help train major and minor league players during the ofseason.

St. Benedict at Auburndale High School senior Cassandra Carrasco of Germantown was recently named the recipient of the annual Nabil “Bill” Scholarship. She received the scholarship based on her essay, “How my St. Benedict education will help me succeed in college.” In her essay, Cassandra says, “…In addition to lessons about challenges, social roles and dreams, I’ve learned about acceptance, both giving and receiving. I’ve learned how to be a leader both inside and out of the classroom. The most important thing I have learned, though, is how to live with love. Every day I try to replicate the kindness and compassion

that is so characteristic of the administration and students. I know that the many lessons I’ve learned at SBA will help me succeed not only in college, but will guide me and help me to succeed for the rest of my life.” The Saba Scholarship fund was established in 2010 in memory of Nabil “Bill” Saba by his family following his untimely death in 2006 at age 37. Each year the family honors a worthy SBA senior with the Saba scholarship to use toward tuition at the school. Saba’s niece, SBA junior Pamela Saba, represented the family in the presentation.

Home & Garden

Looking up Trellises a dramatic way to display vines As gardeners, our eyes are trained to survey the ground in search of new delights as they spring from the ground and for the unwanted intruders we call weeds. Because vines give us a reason to look up, a garden or landscape is almost always enhanced by their presence. One of the most dramatic ways to display vines is with an arched trellis. They offer support and allow vines to become covered CHRISTINE wa lkways and places ARPE to sit or GANG dine. T here’s GREEN THUMB something enchanting about standing under a vinecovered arch, even the small ones that often serve as entrances to gardens. French impressionist Claude Monet captured their romance in the many rose-covered arched trellises he erected at his garden in Giverny, France, and immortalized in his paintings. One need only search the Internet or Pinterest for images of “arched trellises” to be awed by the beauty of wisteria, clematis, roses, hyacinth bean and honeysuckles climbing up and over these structures. OK, dreamers like me: It’s reality check time. We’re not Monet and our gardens will never rival Giverny. But we can be inspired by them. Seven years ago, Ann Frogge planted just three scuppernong vines — a bronze variety of the muscadines that grow wild in the South — on one side of well-built arched trellis in her Germantown garden. The vines now completely cover the trellis creating a shady enclosure. Because birds, squirrels and other creatures enjoy the sweet juicy fruits as much as Frogge, her harvest typically amounts to one or two dishpans full a season. After several years, vines like muscadine and certainly wisteria become so heavy they need extra strong support. Frogge’s landscape contractor used livestock panels set into 4-by-4 supports for the trellis. The panels, which are available at farm supply stores, are sections of sturdy fencing that can be bent into arches. Typically 4 to 5 feet wide and 12 or more feet long, they can be used in numerous ways to support plants, including beans, peas and tomatoes. Every February, Frogge’s muscadine vines are pruned back hard, a chore she has done professionally to ensure a rapid return of the vines and the fruit. Frogge has installed some upright trellises, also made of livestock panels, to support Malabar spinach, golden jasmine and honeysuckle vines. Malabar spinach is an attractive vine with red stems and dark green edible heart-shaped leaves. Although it’s not really spinach, it can be used like it raw in salads or lightly sautéed or steamed. It’s a good source of vitamins A and C as well as calcium and iron. Unlike real spinach, it loves hot weather and doesn’t mind wet soil. In other words, it’s perfect for us. Malabar spinach is considered a tender perennial that may return year after year in temperate climates. Frogge said hers comes back each year. Arched trellises made with single livestock panels are being utilized in the Collierville Victory Garden. They support beans and also some ornamental gourds that have already been picked. In Internet searches, I saw a big arched trellis with a variety of gourds hanging in autumnal splendor from the top and sides of the structure. I wanted to be walking through it or, better still, sitting under it at a long table enjoying a meal with friends.

Scuppernongs, a bronze muscadine variety, provides an inviting cover to an arched trellis. Such heavy vines require a sturdy support.

Ferrell will join fellow hosta fans at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Memphis Botanic Garden for the irst meeting of the MidSouth Hosta Society following its summer break. On the program will be Stephanie Cohen, aka The Perennial Diva, presenting “A Walk on the Dark Side,” a slide lecture on hostas and other shade-loving plants. Cohen, who gardens on 2 acres in Collegeville, Penn., is the co-author of three books: “The Perennial Gardener’s Design Primer,” “Fallscaping” and “The Nonstop Gardener.” The event is free to members; $5 for nonmembers.

BILL FERRELL

Bill Ferrell creates an edging of Frances Williams hostas in front of a fence that encloses his garden.

HOSTA FANS UNITE Bill Ferrell is a bit of a hosta-holic with some 300 varieties planted in his Cordova garden. “I plant most of them as singles but I have a mass planting of Frances Williams and they really stand out,” Ferrell said. The popular Frances Williams has large green-blue leaves with golden variegation. It is the winner of an American Hosta Society Distinguished Merit Award. In our normal summers, extremely hot and dry conditions cause hostas to look weary, even crisp at this time of year, especially in gardens without irrigation. Ferrell is pleased with the way Frances Williams has held up through many weather conditions this year.

ATTRACTING HUMMINGBIRDS You may think you need lots of red lowers to attract hummingbirds to your garden. Turns out that recommendation is another example of gardening folklore debunked by C. L. Fornari in her book, “Cofee for Roses and 70 other Misleading Myths About Backyard Gardening.” If your favored colors lean more to purple and pink or orange and yellow, not to worry. The little birds apparently don’t care much about color but they are sensitive to location. If you move a feeder or a plant that the birds have been visiting year after year, they will ly of to other feeding areas without even looking in your yard. In Fornari’s Cape Cod garden, hummers faithfully visit her blue salvia, peach agastache and pink and white nicotiana. As the tiny birds are now on their southward migration, be sure to keep your feeders illed with fresh sugar water, too. Make a nectar-like syrup by bringing 1 cup white sugar and 4 cups water to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and then cool the liquid before pouring it into the feeders. Bacteria grow faster in hot temperatures so when it’s 93 or above, empty and wash feeders daily. You can wait three days when temps are 85 to 88 degrees; four days with 81 to 84 degrees and ive days when it’s 76 to 80 degrees.

Competition and conlict have existed between people and animals since the irst gardeners began sowing seeds on the ground. The critters just as quickly carried them away. But coexisting with wildlife in farm ields or gardens can be a winning proposition if you’re willing to alter your habitat. Even nuisance animals can become plant partners with a little planning. “You can steer your way around a lot of the usual wildlifeproperty owner confrontations,” said Robert Pierce, an extension isheries and wildlife specialist with the University of Missouri. “Do some homework about animal behavior,” Pierce said. “Know where raccoons or deer traditionally utilize cover or use traic lanes. It’s common sense that you wouldn’t want to plant gardens in those areas.” And sharing property with wild birds and animals doesn’t necessarily mean reducing the size of your harvest, said Tammi Hartung, author of the new “The Wildlife-Friendly Vegetable Gardener” (Storey Publishing). “Welcome pollinators into the garden,” Hartung said. “Invite animals that can do your pest management. That will actually increase your yields in many cases.” Almost any wildlife species can become a nuisance, Pierce said. Canada goose droppings are messy and potential health hazards. Moles damage lawns. Squirrels eat freshly planted bulbs. Small rodents like voles will strip the bark from grapevines. Feral hogs damage pastures. “Tolerance levels vary,” Pierce said. “Lots of folks just enjoy wildlife and like having them around. Much depends upon whether you have the money to invest to keep them away from your plants.” The most benign ways to keep wildlife away from the garden include repellents, frightening techniques, rotating crops, decoy plants, fencing, netting and other barriers. Consider: ■ Being proactive. “Before the raspberries ripen, put up some tape or nets so the birds will never taste them and won’t know what they’re missing,” Hartung said. ■ Modifying food and cover. “We have 30 deer coming through our property every day,” she said. “The deer wouldn’t leave my tulips alone, so I don’t grow tulips anymore. I grow (deer-resistant) daffodils instead.” ■ Distractions. “Parsley redirects rabbits from salad greens,” Hartung said. “Plant some sunlowers next to your berry patch. Many birds prefer their seeds to the fruit.” ■ Growing a surplus for sharing. Add hedgerows outside the garden that include fruiting trees and shrubs. ■ The hose. “We use a motiondetector apparatus that hooks up to a hose,” Hartung said. “It sprays water when it detects motion. When raccoons come at night, they get a hard spray of water. It doesn’t do them any harm but they stay away.”

Party outside in newly designed living areas We’re moving from the heat of summer into fall’s cooling down period, which means barbecues and tailgates, fall parties and porch sunsets. In my house, our favorite way to say goodbye to summer is brunch on the back patio. The South has always had a grand tradition of outdoor entertaining, but today it seems like more people are taking the concept to a new level — meaning “interior design” isn’t limited to a room’s four walls. Often these days when skimming through magazines and checking out houses in person, I’m noticing backyard oases that look a lot like indoor spaces. That’s due in part to the burgeoning world of outdoor fabrics; today’s consumers have easy access to rugs, pillows, curtains and cushions that

STACEY WIEDOWER INSIDE DESIGN

are fade-resistant, waterproof and generally built to last. No matter your style, you can probably find products that can carry your look from your living room to your backyard. That’s good news for anybody who’s feeling cramped in their home’s square footage. It’s also easier on the budget to expand a patio or decorate an outdoor space than it is to add on or build up. I’ve heard more homeowners, too, say that being in their outdoor rooms feels “like being on vaca-

tion” or at a resort. This makes sense, since the touchy economy in recent years has caused many people to cut back on actual travel. “Southern hospitality is coming back,” said Melinda Keyte, a designer and sales representative with Jack Wills Outdoor Living in Cordova. “People are doing a lot more outdoor entertaining, and something really big right now is outdoor kitchen spaces.” Instead of cooking the side dishes indoors and hauling them out to the patio to join what ever is coming of the grill, people want to do the prep work outside. It mimics an indoor trend, if you think about it — kitchens are now open to a home’s living spaces, so the cook doesn’t have to feel cut of from the activity of the house.

Not everybody has the time, desire or budget to install a full-fledged second kitchen in the backyard, but even small touches can go a long way toward turning an outdoor space into a comfy room to hang out in. Here are Keyte’s tips for enjoying your own little plot of the great outdoors: ■ Buy furniture that will last. Keyte said wellmade outdoor furniture can last as long as 25 years. Though the upfront cost of these pieces is high, their durability ofers savings in the long run ■ On that note, avoid trends when buying big items. Keyte advised going with neutral colors and patterns on bigger pieces like outdoor sofas and chairs. “Then really spruce it up season to season by pillows,” she said. ■ If you build a kitchen

This outdoor room shows the trend: seating that surrounds a table with a built-in fire pit, and a kitchen with a built-in grill, side burner, refrigerator and prep space.

outside, think function. If you want to prepare and enjoy full meals outdoors, a few key elements are needed to keep you from constantly trekking from patio to house. Keyte recommends a grill, refrigerator, side burner and trash and storage centers. “A sink is optional,” she added. “It’s good to have, but

it’s a splurge because you have to run a water line.” ■ Consider a gas ire pit. Built-in, gas-burning ire pits are becoming more popular among homeowners who are tired of cleaning up ashes and soot. Stacey Wiedower is a Memphisbased freelance interior design writer.

Mustangs’ improve to 4-0 behind excellent line play By Pete Wickham Special to The Weekly

After four unbeaten Friday nights, one thing is obvious about the Houston Mustangs varsity football team: They don’t get lost on their way to the goal line. “These kids know where ‘north’ is,” said their coach, Will Hudgens, with a bit of a laugh, after his Mustangs scored a 34-13 win over Dickson County. One thing is even more obvious to the second-year coach, and that’s who is leading the way. “When you can control the line of scrimmage, that’s what pays big dividends. And that’s where our anchors are,” said Hudgens, who has four seniors — Tim Belles, Benny Carroll, Mason Piper and Matthew Taylor, on offense and three returning starters, Reid Ostrom, R.J. Myers and Justin Jones, on defense. “They’ve put in the work this past summer. They’ve become leaders and we’re riding that,” he said. Behind those lines is a remarkable offensive ma keover, replacing 1,700-yard rusher Malik Elion (Tennessee track) and kicker C.J. Staford (Southeast Missouri) from a turnaround team that went 8-3 and made the Class 6A playofs after a lengthy absence. “We lost a special back in Malik, and don’t have

one guy who is like him, so we’ve done this by committee and it’s been great to see,” said Hudgens, who has no less than ive players who have scored multiple touchdowns. Perhaps the biggest revelation may be the play of the Cartwright brothers. Senior Colby, a converted linebacker, has run for three touchdowns, and three straight 100-yard games. Seth, a sophomore, has four rushing touchdowns and a touchdown pass. “Colby runs through you, Seth is a make-youmiss type,” Hudgens said. Add to the mix senior Chase Moss-Piorek — with a 100-yard game and ive TDs, receiver Chanse Pullen (two TD catches) and there are a lot of weapons to choose from. Senior

two-way quarterback Jared Schmidt is getting more comfortable choosing each week. Against Dickson County he had a season-best efort, throwing for 178 yards and two scores while also running for 60 yards. “There’s no one else I’d rather have under center, except we don’t go under center,” Hudgens said with another laugh about his shotgun ofense. Jacob Painter, the goalkeeper on Houston’s soccer team, came out for football this year and already has hit 17-of-19 extra points and ive ield goals. He joins a raft of Houston baseball players, including hitting star Ayrton Schaeffer, who returned an interception for a score earlier this year. “Athletes are freely shared here, and that makes my job a lot easier,” he said. Last Friday the Mustangs took a 13-7 halftime lead on Seth Cartwright’s 41-yard TD run and a pair of Painter ield goals before pulling away in the third quarter. “The defense stepped things up in the third quarter, and took the wind out of their sails,” said Hudgens, whose team plays Germantown (0-4) on Friday. “They’ve struggled but they’ve got some capable athletes so we have to keep remembering what it is that got us here — the hard work we’ve put in,” said Hudgens.

Prep Sports At tiny Rossville Christian, success isn’t measured in the numbers

Portraits of the team’s eight senior face the stadium on game day.

FOOTBALL

PLAYING UP By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Many high school football coaches dream of winning state championships or sending their players to Division 1 colleges. Rossville Christian Academy coach Johnny Allen dreams of having a practice squad. Such is the life when you play football at one of the smallest schools in the TSSAA. The Wolves (2-2) compete in Division 2-A, the classiication comprised of the private schools with the smallest enrollments. But even within that division, they’re still batting a numbers game. According to the latest state enrollment igures, Rossville has 125 students, which makes it the third-smallest football-playing school in the state (Memphis Academy of Health Sciences and Mt. Juliet Christian Academy are smaller). But to reach the playofs, the Wolves have to play league games against some teams with over three times as many students. Which is why Allen speaks wistfully of have the resources of “big schools like USJ (University School of Jackson) and St. George’s. “I am envious of schools with bigger numbers,” said Allen, whose in his fourth year at the Fayette County school. “I do wish we had more numbers. A lot of the kids that live out here bypass us to go to ECS or St. George’s or Briarcrest. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m as competitive as anybody. But you have to be realistic. I told them to compete with the USJs and St. George’s, it’s going to be a 10-year plan.” The biggest problem of course is simply illing a roster. Allen said he was able to coax a couple of kickers into joining the team this season which brought the total up to 26 players after being as low as 22 last year. It’s a problem that lots of schools around the area have to deal with but it’s hurts even more at a place like Rossville. “I think numbers are low across the board,” said Allen, who is in his fourth year at Rossville after previously serving as an assistant at White Station and Briarcrest. “Kids aren’t as tough as they used to be. And you have to do a good selling job to get people out. Really, you’ve got to beg. You have to convince them that playing football will make them better at basketball, better at baseball and from a mental side make them a better man. “The coaches here know they all have to share the athletes and we try to encourage it. Everybody here wants to play basketball. We had 22 people try out for the basketball team. So it’s tough.” And once you earn a spot on the roster, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll never get of the ield. Just ask Brian Novarese, the Wolves’ 5-3, 190-pound running back/linebacker. “I came from a small school in Mississippi so I’ve been playing both ways since the seventh grade,” he said. “This is the irst year that I haven’t played on kickof coverage. I honestly don’t know what it would be like to play one way.

Rossville Christian Academy head coach Johnny Allen (right) works with his ofensive linemen during a recent practice.

“I honestly don’t think I’d even want to do it. It motivates me to play hard all the time, knowing that I’m still out there making plays and I’m three times more tired than everyone else.” Added sophomore Shermar Chambers, who plays quarterback, receiver and defensive back, “It’s kind of tough but you just play, you just compete. You just have stay focused ... and try to prove ‘em wrong.” With limited bodies, Allen says priority in practice is conditioning and making sure there are enough healthy bodies for the game. “You can’t take a cookie-cutter approach and I’m at peace with that,” he said. “We can’t bang on each other all the time. We have to focus a lot on conditioning and keep our legs fresh. I tell the players it’s like track and our big meet is on Fridays. “We don’t have a scout team and a lot of the players are inexperienced ninth and tenth-graders. They’re just puppies. I think the coaches are the most athletic ones we have. Last year, I got plantar fasciitis because I was wear-

ing cleats so much, helping go through drills. “I love my kids but I really only have maybe 14 that are experienced for Friday night football. You just have to plug in the holes.” Wearing many hats is a requirement at a school like Rossville. In addition to be the football coach, Allen is the athletic director and the dean of discipline. He also makes deliveries, stopping at Chick-il-A every morning on the way to work to pick up chicken biscuits that the team sells as a fundraiser. His staf is all volunteers, itting practice around their nine-to-ives. Or in the case of Jay Locastro — who works for the Memphis Police Department’s felony response violent crimes team — his midnight-to-eight. “My job required a lot of overtime in the summer when the weather was warmer,” said Locastro, whose brother Kevin is the head coach at Lausanne. “I’d just go home and get a little sleep before coming to practice. I’m just drawn to coaching. In a small school, it’s all about those relationships with

the parents, the student body. But the sacriices are worth it. And I like a challenge.” The biggest challenge of all of course is building a winning program. Rossville was in good shape for a Division 2-A playof bid last year after starting 4-2. But then the wheels came of — the Wolves lost their last four — and they missed out. This year the Wolves have victories over West Memphis Christian and Macon Road Baptist. And even the Sept. 5 42-6 loss at University School of Jackson — which has played in ive state championship games in its history — can be considered encouraging. “Sometimes you do hear teams say, ‘oh Rossville, they’re a joke,’” said Novarese. “But teams that play us all the time know we’re serious. I don’t feel like my time’s being wasted ... I just love it.” Said Allen, “I’d like to see the private schools go to three divisions but realistically, it’s never going to be ‘fair.’ There’s just a big discrepancy from the bottom to the top that needs to be addressed. “I told our baseball coach when I hired him, ‘if you’re looking for a place to build your résumé, you’ll be miserable here. But if you’re here to build a foundation, this is the right place.”

RIVER CITY VOLLEYBALL CLASSIC

St. Agnes sweeps SBA for title By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

In a season that’s had some ups and some downs, the St. Agnes volleyball team may be putting it all together. The Stars, who entered the weekend tied for sixth in The Commercial Appeal’s Super Six, capped of a grueling two days of matches with a 26-24, 25-21 victory over St. Benedict to capture the River City Classic last Saturday at Bartlett. After a 5-1 run through the tournament, the defending Division 2-AA state champion stars are 13-7 and playing well. “When we put the mental part together with the physical part, we’re amazing,” said St. Agnes libero Constance Connolly. “Ryan prepares us (well) and we have the passion to work through when we get tired. I think our focus is starting to come together.” After beating rapidly improving Collierville 25-20, 25-20 in the semiinals, the Stars found themselves trailing the Eagles 23-16 in the irst set game of the title match. But they rallied behind some efective play at the net before closing it out. Stars coach Ryan Wallace said that at times this year, his team’s toughest opponent has been itself. “I think the pressure point has been trying to live up to our past (successes),” he said. “We’ve had some rough spots, but we’re starting to get our groove.” St. Benedict defeated a strong St. George’s squad 25-11, 25-21 in the other semi. Eagles coach Janet Daleke liked what she saw from her team, which started Saturday’s play without ive seniors who were taking the ACT. “And then Maddie (setter Madison Bond) rolled her ankle,” Daleke said. “But we put Clare Morris in there and she stepped up. “We called up four players

Adrianna Smith, a Georgetown University student spent six months studying abroad in Spain. She is shown at left at Priory Church in Aracena, Spain

A scene from La Feria de Sevilla (Seville Fair) lights the night in Seville.

A student in Seville Living each day fully is the key lesson in Spain By Adrianna Smith Special to The Washington Post

hings don’t start to feel real until you drag your two empty suitcases into your bedroom and start to pack for your semester abroad. That’s when you realize your life for the next six months will have to weigh less than you do, in fact less than a small child. There was a morning in late May, just a couple of weeks before I would have to repack those suitcases, when the heat of Seville woke me up earlier than usual. Even with the window wide open, as soon as the sun rises there’s no escaping the heat of this ancient Spanish port city. I sat up in bed listening to the sounds of the apartment building waking up, shades rattling open and mothers moving in kitchens. I thought it was hard to sleep with the noise from the neighbors and the street below, I was grateful for this, to wake up organically with the beginnings of other people’s days. My six months in Spain were the most exciting, frightening, enlightening months of my life. I learned so much about another culture: what other people value, what makes them get out of bed, what makes them stay up so late. I learned what it’s like to live with a family I’m not related to, and how to explore a country with strangers who would become close friends. I learned how to read a city with my feet, walking through streets so narrow that the sidewalks, where they existed, were no wider than a foot. There are terrifying moments, like when you walk into your apartment to ind the place burglarized. But there are also the magical ones, like discovering, at 3 a.m., a tiny lamenco bar illed with both neighborhood regulars and those passing through. Where the guitarist plays your favorite song and the man as large as a tuba suddenly begins to sing in a stunning and melancholic voice. Being asked to dance. There’s a poem by Gail Mazur called “Why You Travel” that encapsulates why you should study abroad if you have the opportunity. The photographs of you traveling, wherever you are in the world, show you “having the time of your life, blistered and smiling. The acid of your fear could eat the world.” That’s exactly it. To confront that fear. To face the newness and diference of everything and everyone. To feel yourself changing while still holding on to who you are. As someone who’s introverted, I feel drained talking to people for a long time, and I knew my semester abroad would be a challenge. But I also knew my experience would be deined by my interactions with other people. If I didn’t push myself to say yes to every invitation, if I didn’t small-talk with the fruit vendors or the tapas bartenders, if I didn’t ask to share notes with the Spanish students in my university classes, I would miss out on important opportunities to immerse in the culture. Living in a foreign city is supposed to push you outside your comfort zone. Compared with places like the Middle East or Asia, Seville wasn’t too much of a culture shock. I was still in the Western world. The culture shocks I experienced came in the daily routines, the little details. The food, for instance. All the fruits and vegetables are so fresh since the Spanish aren’t dependent on preservatives. Meals are heavy on meat, though, especially ham, their pride and joy. Lunch is the most important and biggest meal of the day, and people’s schedules seem engineered around it. We always waited for my host dad to come home from work, usually at 3:30 in the afternoon, and we wouldn’t eat again until about 10:30 p.m. What I loved most about Spain’s gastronomy is how traditional and local each dish is. In Seville, people are proud of where they come from; they are born, live and die here. The food they eat relects their municipal pride. There is a phrase in Seville that “life

is lived on the streets,” and there’s no better way to describe the city. Seville has a culture of extroversion; people are always going out with friends or grabbing a beer between classes or after work. If you walk around at midnight on the weekend, the people you’ll see at bars are parents, grandparents and young children. Anyone who is still at home is simply getting ready to go out — and to stay out until the sun rises. Yes, there’s a huge economic crisis: The youth unemployment rate, especially in Andalusia, exceeds 60 percent. Yet people are still going out. They would rather live with less than sacriice going out with their friends and family. This emphasis on going out also relects the importance people place on relationships. Families are very close, and not just because multiple generations often live under the same roof. In the States, especially in a city like

Washington, I feel as though I live in a work-centered culture where something as simple as getting cofee with a friend is a luxury of time I can’t aford. Not so in Spain. The de facto motto in Seville is “no pasa nada,” meaning it doesn’t matter, it’s ine, everything will work itself out. The phrase also applies to the university system, where there is no homework, attendance is never recorded, and the typical student only really works in the last two weeks of the semester for his one and only grade in the inal exam. Although it sometimes did feel as though no one my age ever worked hard, it was wonderful living in a culture where friends and family always come before work. Everybody’s study abroad experience is intensely personal. In asking to go to Spain, I was asking to go away from my home, from everything I identiied with. Yet, for me, being in Spain was one of the deepest ways I was able to understand myself. My mom and her family are from Buenos Aires but with ancestors from Spain. So, in many ways, living in Seville was a way to see what life I might have had if my mom’s ancestors had never left the village of Andoain 500 years ago. Much about my host family’s

apartment, especially their kitchen, reminded me of my grandparents’ house. When my family came to visit, we met in San Sebastián in the north of Spain. Thirty minutes outside this city is where my grandfather’s ancestors had left their comfortable house in the heart of the Basque Country to move thousands of miles away to Argentina. Amazingly, the house that the Alurralde family had lived in was still standing up until the late 1990s. An athletic center has been built in its place, yet it still bears our family name. When I think of Seville, yes, I think about the late schedules and the churros with chocolate; my host family and Spanish friends; and the major weeklong holidays of Holy Week (Semana Santa); and the lamenco festival (La Feria). But what I really remember are the marathon lamenco classes I took with my friends at 10 p.m. on Wednesdays; how we would celebrate afterward with our scoops of quemesabe at the best heladeria in the city. I think of the silence of the tens and tens of thousands lining the streets during Semana Santa, waiting for the loats with la Virgen and for the rain of rose petals and serenades people would give her from the rooftops.

Sports MUS 30, LIBERTY TECH 12

MUS uses ground game to pound Liberty Tech Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Neel rushes for 168 yards, 2 TDs By Hunter Field Special to The Commercial Appeal

Memphis University School outmuscled speedy Jackson Liberty Tech (2-2) at every turn for a 30-12 victory at home last Friday evening. MUS (3-1) scored on its irst four possessions to jump out to a 24-0 lead. MUS head coach Bobby Alston said they were wor-

ried about the Crusadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speed and athleticism, but the Owl defense played well despite being banged up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a talented team,â&#x20AC;? Alston said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a dangerous ofense and a good defense. They have really good players at the quarterback and running back positions, and I was proud of our defense.â&#x20AC;? Star turns: It was the Colton Neel show all night long for the Owls, but MUSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ofensive line opened some gaping holes. Led by Ole Miss

commitment Drew Richmond, the Owls ofensive line refused to let Liberty Tech even get a hand on Neel before he was ive yards past the line of scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We controlled the line of scrimmage,â&#x20AC;? Neel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to run behind those guys. They work hard and take good care of me.â&#x20AC;? Neel reached 100 yards rushing in the opening half and inished with 168 for the game. Liberty Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior running back Devin Bush showed how explosive

Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bruising attack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime you can get the ball to Colton (Neel) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good play, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we tried to do,â&#x20AC;? Alston said. Talking point: MUS senior kicker Michael Jacobs made the job a little easier for the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, launching each kickof into the end zone for a touchback and keeping it out of the dangerous hands of Bush. Jacobs also kicked three ield goals for MUS with the longest coming from 27 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had us scared

he could be in the open ield. Bush bolted past the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense for a 49-yard touchdown early in the second half. He inished the game with 177 yards on the ground. Turning point: The Owls established their physical style of play early. On its irst drive, the MUS offense drove straight down the field before removing quarterback Marcus Evans in favor of Neel under center in its jumbo package. Everyone in the stadium knew a run was coming, but the Crusaders were powerless to stop the

to death with those two return men,â&#x20AC;? Alston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michael (Jacobs) did a good job of keeping it out of their hands.â&#x20AC;? Extra point: Neelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two touchdowns tied the school record for career touchdowns (42) â&#x20AC;Ś Richmond, who typically only plays right tackle on offense, played both ways for the Owls. Some injuries on defense forced him to play some defensive tackle. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next: The Owls travel to South Panola Friday for a showdown with Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked 6A team.

Fish tale: Trip on Mississippi nets giant 90-pound catfish By Brian Brasher The Commercial Appeal

Memphis-area catfish angler Matt Bingham is quick to admit the ishing has been a little slow on the Mississippi River. But it seems all he needs to make it better is to take someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been before. Last week, he fished with his friend Walt Rider and Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young son, Mattie, both of Germantown, and tied into one of the giants the river has become known for. It was a 90-pound blue cat that was 53 inches long with a girth of 33 inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mattie was on the rod, Walt was videographer/ cheerleader and I did the netting,â&#x20AC;? said Bingham, an accomplished tournament angler who caught the Mississippi state-record Flathead catish (77.7 pounds) in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kept the ish in the water between getting his weight and a few photos and released it within about 15 minutes.â&#x20AC;? Before the trip, Bingham said Mattieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest catwww.commercialappeal.com ish had been in the 8- to 9-pound range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys were having a great time on the river and would have been content with a 15- or 20-pounder,â&#x20AC;? Bingham said. Two weeks ago, Bingham said he took another buddy and his 12-year-old son, who had never been before, onto the river, and they caught a 34-pounder followed by a 55-pounder.
