Cricket players Nitin Patel (left) of Memphis and Kiran Reddy of Cordova make time to practice every week. Many of the team members moved to Memphis from other countries and missed the game that is popular in their homeland.

Gaining ground Memphis gets a taste of popular international sport

When software engineer Kiran Reddy moved to Cordova in 2000 from India, he went from playing weekly cricket matches to not playing at all.

The sudden withdrawal from his favorite “bat and ball” sport Reddy, 36, admitted, “It was like some part of your body is missing.”

Since Reddy and others formed the Memphis Cricket Club Tigers team in 2006, the game is steadily growing among cricket transplants from India, Pakistan, Australia and the Caribbean Islands.

By day, the 160 cricket players from Collierville, Cordova, Bartlett, Germantown and Midtown work in IT or as engineers, motel owners, salesmen and doctors.

But once a week, they are practicing on ields in Bartlett or at the Hickory Hill Community Center in Memphis.

They make up 11 teams and vie for bragging rights among area matchups with teams from Jonesboro and Little Rock.

“From where we started, this is a huge improvement,” Reddy said during a break from practice last week.

Vishal Chheda, an executive with the Arkansas Tennessee Cricket League and sports director for the India Association of Memphis envisions a bigger and brighter future for the sport. “We want to take it to the next level,” said Chheda of Germantown.

“The Upright Citizens Brigade has trained some of the top comedians in the business today,” said GHS theater teacher and Playhouse managing director Kirie Walz.

“Our students get to spend a week learning from these professionals. I can’t begin to explain the value of this experience. Plus, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Guiding students through this experience are Betsey Sodaro, Mano Agapion and Toni Ramos. Sodaro did voice work for “Monsters University” and has appeared on the NBC comedy “Animal Practice,” the FOX series “Raising Hope” and on numerous Comedy Central programs.

On April 26, a prom was held for special education students from the seven high schools in Shelby County.

For the second time in as many years the event was held at Collierville’s Community Center.

The theme for this year’s event was “A Night at the Oscars.” More than 30 volunteers showed up at the community center on West Powell to decorate the spacious area with mylar balloons and colorful table tops. Later on, those same volunteers returned to the community center to act as escorts and dance partners to the students being honored at this very special prom.

Eight years ago, Michelle Kelley, a special education assistant at Collierville High School, began hatching a plan that resulted in the irst prom, which was held was at CHS for students enrolled in the school’s special education program.

“After the irst prom, we saw the way the students responded and we also looked at the response of the parents as well as our teachers and staf,” Kelley said. “At that time we knew we had to open the idea of prom to all students in the legacy Shelby County District. The rest is history.”

As Kelley spoke, a broad smile continued to grow across her face.

In the News GERMANTOWN MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS

District bets on students, additional revenue New numbers spur budget revision

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The Germantown Municipal School District is revising its budget after adding $1.4 million in revenue with the expected enrollment of another 217 students.

The additional students bring the total to 5,441 for the district’s ive schools.

Supt. Jason Manuel said the additional students do not affect the district’s expenditures, because his administration was already planning to hire about 17 extra teachers to allow for growth.

Director of student services Chauncey Bland said the new numbers are a combination of actual additional enrollments and assumed enrollments of Germantown residents who are currently attending their zoned schools, but have not oicially registered.

The state originally predicted

Germantown Police reports

an enrollment for Germantown of 5,224. Manuel said he expects the inal number will be closer to 5,500.

“I feel conident that our revenue’s going to go up,” he said.

The school board reviewed the revised budget in a work session April 17. The board is scheduled to present the budget to the city next week, and would have to call a special meeting to approve it before then.

The biggest issues that remain involve shared services and one-time costs the district must pay upfront to get the

district up and running. The debate over whether sharing services with other districts actually saves money continued last Wednesday.

Board members Mark Dely and Ken Hoover reiterated their views that overall, shared services mean less control and possibly more long-term costs.

“There (are) going to be costs not put on paper,” Dely said.

Manuel said he generally agreed with that sentiment, but it becomes a matter of time. In order to make sure the district is up and running, things like

payroll, information technology and nutrition coordinators may have to be shared with other districts. “I don’t see this being a long-term deal,” Manuel said. “I see us transitioning to where we do all this stuf in-house.”

One of the examples he gave was for payroll services to be shared with at least two other municipal districts. The predicted cost for Germantown’s share of that service would be about $57,000. For Germantown to hire enough people to do that itself, he said, would cost about $177,000.

CRICKET from 1 students ages 8 to 14 and form teams for women as a way to bring about more awareness of the sport and gain a broader audience.

Watching cricket is a bit like watching a faster pace and high scoring version of baseball with a tad of crocquet-like structures stuck in the middle of the ield.

Writing for American Enterprise Institute online magazine Roger Bate once described the two sports as “twin brothers, separated at birth.”

Now that the 11 cricket teams are under the umbrella of the Memphis Premier League, Chheda said the league will form an All-Star lineup of its best players.

With the help of sponsors they are hoping to ind, they will compete in Nebraska during the Memorial Day weekend to see if they can qualify for the cricket regional championship.

In late August, ESPN3 is airing the national cricket championship live from Indianapolis with the four top teams.

“That is why we are raising the bar in cricket in Memphis,” Chheda said.

Within the next two or three years, he predicted, “America will have a cricket team of its own” to compete at the international level like other countries.

MIKE BROWN/THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Clara Yeager enjoys socializing during the bingo game at the Collierville Community Center on Powell Road.

Games people play Fans say it’s fellowship, rather than food or prizes, that pulls them in

By Lela Garlington garlington@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2349

Who knew?

There’s a bingo circuit in the ’burbs.

Bingo is such a popular pastime that Colliervillians recently demanded more. Now there is a Brown Bag Bingo, along with their regular bingo lunch in Collierville. Some love the game so much they drive to Bartlett, Germantown, Memphis and Oakland to feed their bingo need.

For most of the bingo set, it is not the winning, the food or even the prizes.

“It’s good for me to come out of my shell. By nature, I’m timid,” said Diana Lamberson, 66, of Collierville.

Added Jean Ellis, 83, who met Lamberson while playing bingo: “I don’t give a lip about the gifts.

I have enough junk as it is.”

After James H. Ellis, her husband of almost 63 years died in 2011, Mrs. Ellis said, “I have to get out. It’s fellowship, friendship and I get to meet new people like you.

I think that’s true for most of us.”

Before the games started recently inside the gym at the Collierville Community Center, a sea of able-bodied, silver- haired senior citizens paid their $5 and waited to load their plastic plates with chicken strips, mashed potatoes, wax beans and a cupcake.

Women outnumbered the men by four to one.

About a half-dozen men and women needed a little extra help with aid of a cane, walker or a motorized scooter. Some brought their grandchildren with them.

Because of the gyms’ poor acoustics, Lamberson often checked Ellis’ two bingo cards to make sure she had marked them.

As the games went on, Collierville recreation program coordinator Lisa Gaither mixed up the standard ive in a row with such versions as the Big X, Shotgun, Four Corners and one where only numbers for the letters B and O were called.

Martha Daniels, 82, and her husband Bob Daniels, 79, were sitting at the same table as Lamberson and Ellis. “I love to play.

I can do without the food,” Mrs. Daniels said. She rattled of all the places she and her husband have played: “Gaisman, Raleigh-Frayser, Lewis Senior Center — I got ran of from there — Collierville and Bartlett. Bartlett is really the best place we go to,” she conided.

“I won a his-and-her watch set there one time.”

While bingo is rarely rowdy, Mrs. Daniels explained that she and another woman tussled over a T-shirt. “I was holding onto the coat hanger and she was pulling on the tail. I decided I wasn’t going to get into a ight over a T-shirt.”

Her husband only started his bingo ix after retiring as a tile contractor about a year and a half ago. “She keeps me busy at these community centers,” Daniels said.

FEED THE NEED Most area senior center programs and a few restaurants have a time set aside for bingo. Here are a few: Bartlett: First and second Wednesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. at Bartlett Senior Center, 5727 Woodlawn. Cost: $10 to join the center. Members must donate bingo prizes Collierville: Third Tuesday of the month — bingo and lunch for $5; fourth Tuesday of the month — Brown Bag Bingo with players bringing a $1 prize. Both at Collierville Community Center, 440 W. Powell Road. Call 901-457-2770 to register.

Collierville: Every Monday, from 2-4 p.m., at Perkins Restaurant, 960 W. Poplar.

Germantown: First Thursday of the month at noon at Pickering Center, 7771 Poplar Pike. Cost: $1 plus a $1 gift and bring a main dish or dessert Oakland: First Thursday of month from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, 14615 Hwy. 194 S.

“I wanted to ind out about all the fun. I didn’t want to be left out.”

He likes Losers Bingo. “You stand up with your worst card,” he explained. “You sit down if they call a number on your card.”

Beside having a safe place to hang out, Bartlett Senior Center’s activities director Holly Salmon said the games give them a chance to work their brains.

As the last game ended, Ellis gathered up prize and her purse to drive back to her Collierville home: “Now you know what we old widow women do.”

After a bufet dinner the curtain that separated the dining area from the dance loor was lifted.

Within minutes the dance floor was filled with dancers who smiled and laughed as they did the Cupid Shule and the Wobble.

Shortly after, two people stood by and watched the proceedings with smiles on their faces. Chuck and Denice Stout recently moved to the area from Corpus Christi, Texas with their son, Dustin. Denice Stout was impressed with the prom.

“Dustin is autistic and doesn’t react to the world around him the same way most people do.

In the News MUNICIPAL SCHOOLS Tennessee Titans tackle Michael Oher talks with St. Jude patient Danna Russell, 9, during an event for the NFL’s Play 60 campaign.

Oher and two Titans cheerleaders visited St. Jude for the campaign, which encourages children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

Oher brings smiles to St. Jude

By Erinn Figg Special to The Commercial Appeal

Tennessee Titans player Michael Oher towered over the room of more than 200 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patients and their families Wednesday.

The famous 6-foot-4 ofensive tackle, and former Briarcrest star, had to crouch down to answer a question, sign an autograph or give a child a hug.

Some of the children who waited patiently in line to see him wanted to talk football.

Others wanted to ask about the Academy Award-nominated movie “The Blind Side,” starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw, which was based on Oher’s life growing up in Memphis. Most of them wanted him to sign the free

St. Jude patient Brett Sutherland, 11, (right) plays with ALSAC employee Marilyn Hughes and Thomas Diamond, 7, at the Play 60 event, which featured football-themed games, snacks and a photo booth.

T-shirts they had received that day. And almost all of them had one thing in common: For a couple of hours, they wanted to forget about being sick and just have a little fun.

During an afternoon pep rally in the lobby of the hospital’s Chili’s Care Center, Oher, Tennessee Titans cheerleaders Kristen Stiles

and Heidi West, and other representatives from the NFL Play 60 campaign posed for pictures, signed autographs and led the children in cheers and dances.

“Growing up in Memphis, I knew about St. Jude and always wondered what went on here,” Oher said.

“To inally be here and get a chance to meet so many

wonderful kids, it means everything, really. These kids are going through worse things than I ever could imagine and they’ve still got smiles on their faces. If I can contribute to that, it puts a smile on my own face. I’m just grateful to be here.”

In addition to its national push to encourage children to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, the NFL Play 60 campaign serves as the Oicial Champion of Play at St. Jude. In this role and through a variety of other initiatives, the NFL community raises funds to support the hospital’s Child Life department, which helps patients cope with the stress of their illnesses through therapeutic play.

“We’re blessed to have many celebrities like Michael Oher who support our mission,” said Richard Shadyac Jr., CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising arm of St. Jude.

As part of their plans for safety and security, the new municipal school districts are hoping to hang on to the Shelby County Sherif’s deputies they have patrolling their schools.

But if they want them, they’re going to have to pay for them.

Chuck Fox, chief administrative oicer of the Sherif’s Department, said his oice currently supplies 47 deputies for all of Shelby County Schools.

That number is in addition to city police and private security. Fox said the Sherif’s Department asks the schools to apply for Safe Schools grant funding that would then go to the Sherif’s Department to help defray the costs.

But they’ll take whatever they can get, and the grant money never covers the full cost of the program.

“We’re going to still ask for them to submit the grant, but that’s all we can do,” Fox said. “We’re still going to do our job.”

But for the new districts, Fox said the Sherif’s Department will be asking for the full salary of the deputy to be covered. The Sherif’s Department will cover the cost of beneits.

Because the municipal districts only use one or two deputies, the burden of cost is lower than it would be for Shelby County to try to foot the

bill for 47 deputies.

Superintendents in the new districts say they are happy to pay that cost because of the extra services they get by hiring a deputy in addition to city police who serve in the schools as resource oicers. The municipal districts will also be able to apply for the Safe Schools grant funding to ofset the cost.

Collierville Schools Supt. John Aitken said jurisdiction through the entire county is one advantage.

Germantown School Board President Lisa Parker said Houston High School’s deputy travels with athletic teams to away games within the county and patrols home events. The school’s agreement for Germantown police oicers covers only the school day. Germantown has budgeted $54,177 for that deputy’s salary for next school year. Parker said the district is looking into available grants.

The district is still working with the city on how many police oicers will be assigned to each school. Houston High, Houston Middle and Riverdale School currently have one oicer each, in addition to the deputy at the high school.

District oicials have said they would like to add police oicers to Dogwood and Farmington elementary schools, but that will be a city decision, as the funding for the oicers comes from the police department’s budget.

Visit to Panama Students learn about Memphis in May country

By Doriann Fairchild Special to The Weekly

Julie Crenshaw organized Bailey Station students’ “visit” to Panama during the school’s celebration of Memphis in May. Students boarded a barge owned by the Panama Shipping Company and sailed into the country by way of the Panama Canal. They learned about the country, it’s customs and construction of the canal.

Once on land, students toured the capital city of Panama and attended a carnival. While there, they learned a traditional Panamanian dance and sampled local cuisine of fried plantains, tres leches cake and guanabana juice.

The students had a great time and learned quite a bit about Panama.

BON LIN ELEMENTARY

Guests help students celebrate Earth Day Special to The Weekly

In honor of Earth Day, Bon Lin Elementary invited Crystal Oldham, executive director of the Hardwood Forest Foundation, to conduct a presentation to the Garden Club on the importance of trees.

During her presentation, members of the club were able to learn about all the wonderful resources trees provide us to meet our daily needs, such as paper products, Crayons, chocolate and glue. In an efort to teach them that it’s acceptable to cut down large trees for the use of prod-

ucts, they played a game to simulate how large trees can take resources away from small trees.

Finally, the students were able to watch how a tree should be properly planted and discussed how to care for it. Mike Omar with MorGreen Landscaping in Collierville donated the tree, as well as the crew to plant it.

Bon Lin Elementary also was honored to have WMCTV 5 and James H. Duke Jr., owner of Chickasaw Brand hardwood looring and president of the Lumberman’s Club, present for this special event.

Briarcrest sophomore Anna Jones wanted to do a project that involved helping children and that would make a lasting difference in their lives as well as in her community.

Inspired by her Girl Scout Silver Award project, USA and State of Tennessee Map Painting, Anna decided to design a map of the United States of America on the grounds of Belle Forrest Community School to serve as a resource to help learn about our country’s geography. In keeping with Girl Scout Gold Award requirements of sustainability, she also developed games and lesson plans that utilize the map.

As part of her Girl Scouts project, Anna Jones created a map of the United States on the grounds of Belle Forrest Community School.

“I wanted to develop a creative and visually appealing learning resource to assist teachers in geography lessons,” Anna

said. “I believe the lessons learned from this map will be carried by the students for the remainder of their lives. Geography is the

way things are, not the way we imagine or wish them to be, and studying it is as necessary to an elementary/middle school education as teaching students how to spell or perform math.”

Anna believes helping children at an early age to learn about where things are located, what makes a place special or how a country is divided into regions can help lay a very solid foundation for the study of geography, which in turn can springboard to every other subject in the sciences and humanities.

Anna has been active in Girl Scouts since kindergarten.

Beth Rooks is the director of communications with Briarcrest.

Rotary Club to refurbish East Lake for young anglers’ use

Memphis Police oicers Brian Beasley (left), Carey Floyd and Arica Hutchison from the Tillman Station are among members assigned to bicycle detail on the Greenline.

PUBLIC SAFETY

MPD bicycle oicers patrolling Greenline

By Samantha Bryson s.bryson@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2339

As Memphians start to dust of their bikes again after a record-breaking winter, Memphis police oicers at Tillman Station wanted to remind cyclists that the Greenline Bike Detail is on patrol to keep them safe.

Col. Terry Landrum spoke to the media at the Binghamton precinct, touting the need for those on the Greenline to be aware of their surroundings.

“The Greenline is secluded, but it’s relatively safe,” he said. “We get a lot of suspicious-person calls out there.”

The Greenline Bike Detail is currently composed of Oicers Bryan Beasley, Arica Hutchison and Carey Floyd. Landrum said

he expects to add a fourth soon.

“The Greenline is open from daylight to dark, but we still have people trying to use it at night,” he said.

There are 33 bike oficers at Tillman Station, but only three have what Floyd called the “privilege detail” that keeps them on one of Shelby County’s best spots for biking, walking and running.

There are also seven security cameras along the Greenline, and the unit will often use a small, allterrain golf cart to address any incidents or emergencies along the trail.

Landrum said such instances continue to be rare in the three years that Tillman oicers have patrolled there. But in the meantime, he said the bikes were a perfect way for oicers to help keep the Greenline safe.

Grant OK’d for improvements at intersection the state has awarded a $440,000 grant to pay for signals and other improvements where the eastward extension of the Shelby Farms Greenline will cross north Germantown parkway at the old cSX railroad bed between macon and Fischer Steel. the grant will pay for traic signals, pedestrian countdown timers, signs and striping to provide a safe pedestrian and bicycle crossing. the 4.5-mile eastern extension of the Greenline will take about a year to complete, from its existing eastern terminus in Shelby Farms at Farm road and mullins Station to the old cordova train depot.

— Richard Locker

“The bikes, they sit up a little higher to be able to see into vehicles and they’re quieter,” Landrum said.

“That way the oicers can hear glass breaking and you don’t hear them coming.”

Jerry Klein may not be an expert isherman, but he is an expert grandpa.

“We’ve gotten a lot of pleasure out of the times we’ve gone ishing,” Klein said of adventures with his grandson.

So when fellow Rotary Club of Germantown member Philip Aronoff suggested the club refurbish a pond in the city just for kids to learn how to ish, Klein knew it was the perfect project.

They pitched the project to the Germantown parks department more than two years ago, and on Monday, the club received the green light from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The $600,000 project will use all private donations to refurbish East Lake, a 4.5-acre pond near Wolf River Parkway and Riverdale Road. The irst phase, a loating dock with an access road from the Greenline trail, is expected to be completed in the next three or four months.

As the Rotary club continues to raise funds, additional amenities will include pavilions, a trail around the lake and a camping area. The Texas Gas company is allowing parking for the lake at its adjacent transmission site of Wolf River Boulevard.

Kids will also be able to kayak and canoe on the pond, which will be renamed the Youth Educational Pond.

Signs in the area will designate that adults may only use the space if they

are with a child under age 15. Park rangers will help with enforcement.

Aronof said the idea of limiting who could use the pond, which now has mostly adult visitors coming to ish, was to provide a unique experience for kids in the community.

“They don’t have a place anywhere like this,” he said.

The club expects to have all phases of the project complete in the next three years. The city will be responsible for the upkeep of the area, which is already city property.

Parks director Pam Beasley said that when the club irst approached her about the project, she loved the idea for its simplicity and the impact it would have on the community.

“When they talked about kids and ishing, I thought, ‘how much better can it get?’ ” Beasley said. “A lot of kids that live especially in urban

and suburban areas, they don’t always get opportunities to have that backwoods experience. I think the Rotary Club was really interested in helping kids to have that.”

Beasley helped the club with its planning, and brought in Germantown volunteer park ranger Jack Betchick, a professional ly ishing instructor, as a consultant.

“He’s been my go-to guy in terms of making sure that we were going in the right direction with the design,” Beasley said.

Beasley will present the project to the aldermen Monday and said she expects it to be approved.

Aronof and Klein said this is the biggest project Rotary Club of Germantown has undertaken, and they hope to make it a model project for other Rotary clubs to adapt for their own communities.

“It’s just a real jewel of a place to have,” Aronof said.

Business GIVING BACK

CHAMBER CORNER

MY LIFE/MY JOB

Volunteer engagement still central theme for ‘Giving Back’

‘Be persistent’ do your best advises Tonya Jones

By Jeremy C. Park

TONYA JONES

Special to The Weekly

Leasing consultant with the Greens at Irene

Just like in sports and business, statistics are important. They give us an idea of what is working, help us identify gaps, and guide us toward solutions that frame our future.

With this in mind, the Alliance for Nonprofit Excellence, in partnership with the University of Memphis Institute of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership, is releasing the findings from its study, Inside the Mid-South Nonprofit Sector. The Jeremy C. report provides an inPark depth look at the economic role and impact nonprofit organizations have in the Mid-South.

There are 5,196 nonprofits (outside of churches) in the Mid-South with combined assets of nearly $14 billion; this includes 267 private foundations with assets of $1.2 billion.

Nonprofits in the five-county Memphis metropolitan statistical area employ more than 43,000 people, with payroll nearing $1.7 billion. In addition to providing jobs and critical services to those in need, nonprofits are economic stimulators as buyers of goods and services. They play a role in marketing our city and attracting tourists, like with our museums and parks.

From a funding perspective, individual donors support the lion’s share of the nonprofit sector with 259,200 volunteers providing 29 million hours of service each year, at a value of $620 million. Nearly 25 percent of Memphis residents volunteer, ranking the city 38th among 51 of the largest cities.

So, while groups like Huffington Post consistently rank us as the second-most generous city related to monetary contributions, we now have extra incentive to climb the ranks by increasing volunteer activation and engagement, which will remain the central theme for “Giving Back.”

The Germantown Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for Teresa Bernhardt, owner of Bernhardt Law Firm, Inc., located at 1661 International Place Drive, Suite 400.

Prep Sports TRAP SHOOTING

Mustangs’ infield hit drops top-ranked Tigers

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

Two of the area’s hottest high school baseball teams collided April 23 at Arlington High School.

And it was a pair of unlikely heroes that helped Houston take down the state’s top-ranked team.

Pinch-hitter Alex Sala’s inield dribbler brought in the winning run in the top of the seventh and Coleman Blair, making his irst varsity appearance, set down Arlington in the bottom of the inning as the Mustangs defeated the Tigers, 4-3.

The Tigers had also climbed onto the top spot in last week’s Commercial Appeal Dandy Dozen, ive spots ahead of Houston.

“Just a little 80-footer.

Hit it to win it,” said Mustangs coach Lane McCarter. “He didn’t hit in on the screws but obviously he was ready.

“Neither team was at their best tonight. But we try to put together a challenging schedule and play some tough competition.

You need tight games to get ready for the postseason.”

Sala’s winner came after some uncharacteristically sloppy ielding by the Tigers (26-3) loaded the bases.

McCarter then turned it over to Blair, a sophomore who will bolster Houston’s reliever corps now that he’s recovered from a broken pinkie.

“We’ve got three or four relievers we feel comfortable with,” said McCarter.

“We just felt like this was a good spot for him.”

After Juwan Burney led of with an inield single, Zach Evers lined into a double play. Blair then retired Brandon Dodd, the Tigers’ cleanup hitter, to wrap up Houston’s eighth win in its last nine games.

Houston (25-7) opened the scoring with two runs in its half of the irst. After walks to Wes Roberson and Jake Greer, Ayrton Schafer and Jared Schmidt followed with consecutive run-scoring singles.

DISTRICT TOURNEY The District 15-AAA baseball tournament begins Thursday at Houston High School. The secondseeded Mustangs play Southwind at 4 p.m.

No. 3 Germantown takes on Kirby Friday at 6 p.m. and top seed Collierville plays at noon Saturday against the winner of Friday’s Ridgeway-Wooddale game. The championship game is set for 7 p.m.

Wednesday night at Houston High School.

Several athletes from the Collierville High School trap team demonstrated their excellent marksmanship during the season’s second Scholastic Clay Target Program tournament held at the Memphis Sport Shooting Association.

Collierville’s 24 athletes were among the 352 who took the line under some very adverse conditions. The weather played havoc on the shooter’s and the clay birds for most of the day. Nevertheless, the Dragons still came out with four awards, including the day’s best shooting score.

The winner’s board included Collierville’s senior Chris Locke, who took top honors for the day by hitting the most clays — 97 out of 100. He led Collierville’s varsity white squad, who was in a shoot-of with Arlington for third place in the team competition after both squads tied with a 451 out of 500. When the smoke settled, Arlington won out by breaking ive more clays than the Dragons.

The Collierville High trap team junior varsity and varsity members won four medals at a recent competition. Participating in the Scholastic Clay Target Program tournament were freshman Austin Baronowski, senior Mitchell Moore, freshman Coleman Bomar, Savannah Melton, junior Christian Sidebottom, senior Chris Locke and junior Winston Beesinger.

In addition to Locke’s high-overall award, Collierville junior Savannah Melton was the second place lady shooter for the day by scoring 90 out of 100. She was also part of the varsity white squad.

The junior varsity also came away with a couple of surprises. Freshman Coleman Bomar was the second place JV male

Grizzlies MEMPHIS 100, OKLAHOMA CITY 99 (OT)

Making history Grizzlies edge Thunder in OT for 3-2 lead

By Ronald Tillery tillery@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2353

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Grizzlies blew a 20-point lead but didn’t miss an opportunity to put the Oklahoma City Thunder on the brink of elimination.

As you might guess, it took overtime for the Griz to earn a 100-99 Game 5 victory Tuesday night and leave Chesapeake Energy Arena with a 3-2 series lead.

Memphis can wrap up the bestof-seven, irst-round playof series Thursday night with a Game 6 victory in FedExForum.

No matter the outcome of the series, the teams will have played a classic — this was the fourth consecutive game that required an extra session. That’s an NBA playof record.

Mike Miller’s 21 points, which included a pair of 3-pointers in overtime, led the Griz.

“That was a big lift,” Griz center Marc Gasol said. “Those shots gave us a lot of conidence.”

Griz coach Dave Joerger said before the game it was time for his squad to get some luck in the series. He got his wish on the last play of the game.

Oklahoma City had a chance to win with 2.9 seconds left. Serge Ibaka rebounded Kevin Durant’s missed 3-pointer and scored a put-back basket.

But the shot came after the horn sounded.

“For all of the breaks that have gone, I thought our guys deserved a break,” said Joerger, who was still breathing a sigh of relief.

Mike Conley was exhaling too.

Memphis appeared to have the game won during regulation.

The Griz led 90-88 with the basketball and 20 seconds left to play. But Russell Westbrook swiped the basketball from Conley at the top of the key, and raced the other way for an uncontested layup that tied the score with four ticks left on the clock.

Overtime ensued after the oficials ruled that Zach Randolph’s layup came after the buzzer.

“It was a lot of frustration,” Conley said. “We didn’t run the play right and I didn’t take care of the ball. But the one thing about this team is that a bad play doesn’t deine us. That’s why it’s hard to shake this group.”

A pair of Miller free throws unknotted the game at 79, and the Griz never trailed again. Three times the Thunder got within a point but took ill-advised shots, mostly 3-pointers, when the Griz led 89-88.

Oklahoma City never led in the game until Durant’s 3-pointer give it a 79-78 lead with 6:46 left to play. Even that advantage lasted just 21 seconds.

Nikki BoerTmaN/The CommerCial appeal

Grizzlies guard Tony Allen defends against Thunder forward Kevin Durant during Game 5 at Oklahoma City. The Griz let a 20-point lead evaporate in regulation before winning in overtime. Game 6 is Thursday at 7 p.m. at FedExForum.

The Griz clung to a 76-70 lead entering the fourth quarter after watching the Thunder close the third on an 18-4 run. Memphis went three minutes without scoring.

Memphis took its largest lead in the series — 72-52 — late in the third period. But the Thunder responded with nine unanswered points. Kevin Durant and Caron Butler buried 3-pointers and then Ibaka converted a three-point play.

Oklahoma City used a 13-0 run to cut Memphis’ lead to seven points before Griz guard Courtney Lee’s two free throws ended their scoring drought.

The momentum shifted in a major way.

Only a few minutes earlier, Tony Allen lew by several Thunder players and tipped in a miss that gave the Griz a 68-52 lead.

Westbrook grumbled near the basket while center Kendrick Perkins stayed beyond the three-point line.

Oklahoma City’s frustration continued to build as the crowd booed during a timeout with the Thunder down 18 points.

The Griz were in control of every aspect of the game at that point. Their defense again efectively stiled Durant. The Thunder started 3 of 4 from the ield but then missed seven consecutive shots.

“Well he hasn’t made shots,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said about Durant. “He hasn’t made shots. but he’s still competing.”

Memphis enjoyed crisp passing, deft shooting and numerous energy plays en route to a 55-43 halftime lead.

Joerger intimated before the game that there were no major adjustments left to be made in the series.

There was some truth to that statement because the Griz simply pummeled the Thunder with what they do best — scoring inside.

Randolph entered the game shooting 36 percent in the series but emphatically looked to change his shooting woes early.

Randolph connected on his irst six shots. He challenged the Thunder big men to deal with an array of ofensive moves.

Randolph began with a jab step and midrange shot over Perkins.

Randolph then caught a pass at the free throw line and scored at the rim of the dribble. His third basket came after banging bodies with Perkins on the low block before Randolph made a quick, decisive power move to the basket for a layup.

“The guys did a good job of getting it to me,” Randolph said.

“I was being aggressive and just being me. It carried over.”

Another overtime thriller in which Griz get the last laugh OKLAHOMA CITY — You knew the Grizzlies had it, right?

OK, that’s not quite true.

You didn’t know they had it when they blew a 20-point third quarter lead.

You didn’t know they had it when the Oklahoma City Thunder converted yet another 4-point play.

You didn’t know they had it when Russell Westbrook lat stripped the ball from Mike Conley in the inal seconds of regulation and sailed down the court for the tie.

You didn’t know they had it when Marc Gasol then declined to shoot the ball as the clock wound down and expired.

You didn’t know they had it when the Grizzlies and Thunder surged into a record-setting, mindnumbing fourth consecutive overtime.

You didn’t know they had it when Mike Miller missed a shot at the end of overtime, and the Thunder got the ball, and there were still 2.9 seconds left, and the Grizzlies led by just one point.

But then you knew.

When you heard the music blasting in the arena as you waited for the Thunder to take that inal shot.

Jerry Lee Lewis? Great Balls of Fire? Memphis music? In Oklahoma City?

Yes, then you had to know.

And sure enough, the ball found its way to Durant. And sure enough, he missed from 28 feet. And sure enough, the Thunder got the ofensive rebound because, let’s be honest, in this series, they seem to get every ofensive rebound, and Serge Ibaka stuck the ball back in the hoop. But the oicial, Joey Crawford waved it of. After a few more seconds of staring into the TV monitor, Crawford conirmed that time had expired before the shot.

Have you ever wanted to kiss that man before?

The final score was 100-99 and the inal scene was 18,000 Thunder fans standing, dumbstruck, and the inal feeling has to be exhaustion and relief here in Memphis.

Mike Miller wore shoes that said, “Born for this.”

“Too old for this,” said Memphians watching at home.

Four overtimes? FOUR OVERTIMES? It had simply never been done.

It didn’t appear it would be done this time, either, when the Grizzlies breezed to that 20-point lead, and Zach Randolph

GEOFF CALKINS COLUMNIST

was playing like the old Randolph (20 points) and Miller (21 points) was throwing them in from Tulsa and the Oklahoma fans were booing their own team.

Yes, booing. In unison, like they do everything over here. But you’d be booing in unison, too, if your favorite team just didn’t show up for Game 5.

So it looked like an easy night for the Griz, for once. It looked like a night to get some sleep.

And then, as soon as you allowed yourself to think that, it looked like every single game these two teams have ever played.

Which is to say, completely nutso. Leads vaporizing into thin air. Four-point plays (this time it was Caron Butler). Hideous shot selection. Ofenses grinding to a halt.

The Grizzlies got three buckets in the fourth quarter. You read that right, three. When Westbrook stripped Conley and Gasol declined to even take a shot to try and win the game, the collapse appeared to be complete.

But with this team, the collapse is never complete.

Everyone must know that by now. Miller was — I swear — laughing as he checked into the game for overtime. Because what else was he going to do?

And then Miller stuck in two immense three-pointers to steady the Griz.

The game lurched on from there, to the ending, which was either fabulous or absurd.

Conley got a redemptive layup with 1:02 left to put the Grizzlies up by two.

Then Durant missed one of two foul shots. It would have been astonishing, if it hadn’t been happening for a whole series now. And if that wasn’t enough, the Grizzlies gave him one more chance with 2.9 seconds left, and watched as he missed again.

So now they return to Memphis with the Grizzlies up 3-2. Win and they end this exhausting series once and for all.

Great Balls of Fire, indeed.

GRIZZLIES ANALYSIS

After blowing 20-point lead, Griz bear down in fourth straight OT

By Zack McMillin zmcmillin@commercialappeal.com 901-300-9225

OKLAHOMA CITY — It came down to tenths-of-seconds, and now the Grizzlies — after an NBA record fourth-straight overtime in a playof series — have the Oklahoma City Thunder on the brink of elimination.

The 100-99 victory looked like it would come much easier, at least after Memphis built a 7252 lead late in the third quarter.

It also looked like the Grizzlies might have won it in regulation, when Zach Randolph’s layup at the buzzer went in — but it was just a half-second too late.

However, in overtime, with Kevin Durant missing yet another late shot while hounded

by Tony Allen, Serge Ibaka’s tip was ruled no good and then a replay review conirmed he let it go after the buzzer.

Game 6 is Thursday at 7 p.m. at FedExForum, with the Grizzlies looking to eliminate the Thunder and avoid a Game 7 that would be played back in Oklahoma City on Saturday.

And there is this stat for Grizzlies fans to contemplate — ac-

cording to the website whowins. com, in NBA playof history, the lower seeded team (Game 1 road team), when taking a 3-2 series lead, wins the series 77 percent of the time (61 of 79 times). Had it gone the other way, the Grizzlies would have been facing a situation that only 8 percent of lowerseeded teams had ever overcome.

OKC’s Big 2: After combining for 30 on 11-45 shooting in Game 4, Westbrook and Durant had 21 on 8-13 in the irst quarter.

But then they started misiring, missing their inal 12 shots from the ield in the irst half, leading to the Grizzlies taking a 55-43 halftime lead.

They continued making plays in the big run that allowed the Thunder to retake control of the game, Westbrook on a dazzling drive through the Grizzlies defense and then Durant draining a three-pointer to give the Thunder a 79-78 lead.

By the end, Westbrook had a triple double — a quadruple double if you count his 19 misses.

Durant lost the ball in the inal minute of regulation, stripped by Mike Conley, and also missed a three-pointer.

And then there was Durant’s

crucial missed free throw in the inal minute of overtime — he was 3-of-6 from the line for the game. He also missed a chance to win it on the inal possession.

For the game, they combined to shoot 20-of-55 from the ield and went 4-of-15 from threepoint range.

Thunder’s lightning runs: The Grizzlies led, 72-52, deep into the third quarter when one of those quick-strike Thunder runs commenced. Caron Butler hit a three-pointer. Then Durant drilled a long three. The lead was trimmed to 76-70 by the time the third quarter ended — an 18-4 Thunder run reminiscent of the 17-0 run that OKC used to force overtime in Game 3.

Mike Miller: On Monday, Mike Miller showed up with a little twist on his haircut, stripes above his ear. It looked like those lines you see on a putter in golf, and maybe it helped him with his alignment after going 2-of-8 in has last two games.

Or maybe it was just his comfort shooting in Oklahoma City, where Thunder fans have come to fear his familiar stroke.

He hit ive of the irst seven threes he took, including two

in OT that helped the Grizzlies dictate OT play.

Also credit Tayshaun Prince for contributing, scoring seven irst-half points and helping give Tony Allen some relief in covering Durant.

Z-Bo starts strong: After going 10-of-34 in Games 3 and 4, Zach Randolph got going early, hitting all six of his shots from the ield in the irst half, providing the energy and ofensive power from the very beginning.

Randolph missed his first three shots of the second half, but got it going again, with his power layup inside pushing the Grizzlies to a 70-52 lead with 4:23 left in the third quarter.

Randolph inished with 20 points.

Hot to cold: The Grizzlies

made 23 of their 42 shots in the irst half, hitting more ield goals in those 24 minutes than they had in the irst 36 minutes of Game 4 (21). And it appeared they would continue their hot hand, but over a stretch from end of third quarter into the beginning of the fourth, they missed 11 of 12 shots to let the Thunder get back into the game.

Four-point play defense: Another Grizzlies-Thunder fourth quarter ... and another four-point play. This one came in the inal three minutes, after the Grizzlies had built and 87-82 lead and a Mike Miller three-point attempt just missed.

Late in the shot-clock, Caron Butler rose and ired, Zach Randolph fouled him, the shot fell and Butler hit the free throw.

Community ACHIEVEMENT

James Lewellen honored with service award

By Mark Heuberger Special to The Weekly

More than 600 people illed the main ballroom at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn to pay tribute to the most deserving recipients of the Dunavant Public Servant Awards and hear keynote speaker, former governor and senator and seventh-generation Tennessean, Lamar Alexander.

James Lewellen, Collierville town administrator, and Criminal Court Judge Christopher Craft were recognized for their notable dedication as public servants with the Dunavant Award presented by the Rotary Club of Memphis East.

The award is named for the late Bobby Dunavant who diligently served as Probate Court clerk.

Lewellen, who began his Collierville career in 1995, was honored as the 2013 Nonelected Public Servant Recipient.

Collierville Town Administrator James Lewellen recently won the Dunavant Public Servant Award. Lewellen was joined by his wife, Loren.

“I am proud of James and pleased the Rotary Club of Memphis East recognizes his leadership and service to the community,” Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner said. “James gives continual commitment to his job and to the town of Collierville.”

Collierville Vice Mayor Maureen Fraser, who pre-

pared and submitted the nomination of Lewellen, said, “He is a highly effective town administrator and proud public servant. He is accessible in everything he does and to anyone he deals with and always exhibits character, insight and involvement.”

Collierville was wellrepresented to see one

of their own receive the much-deserved recognition. In addition to several town employees Collierville historian Clarene Russell, the Collierville Chamber staf and board of directors and other Collierville businesses owners attended.

With a smile and nod of gratitude through applause and a standing ovation, Lewellen began with a brief thanks and remarks.

“The greatest of all, I want to thank is Loren. She has carried the burden of our family so I can do my job,” Lewellen said.

“I am humbled by this award,” Lewellen said.

“Thank you.” He also acknowledged Collierville, as a “community that has been very good to me. It is inspiring to work with a group of elected oicials who lead by example.”

Food bank gets gift in memory of Bob White

Ally Coyle to participate in scholarship program

By Linda Coyle Special to The Weekly

By Mark Heuberger Joyce Sogga, manager of the Collierville Food Pantry, accepts a donation in memory of Bob White from Collierville Police Special Citizen Volunteer members.

Special to The Weekly

Bob White, was not only the original member of the first Collierville Police Special Citizen Program, he was probably the most recognizable.

A proud volunteer with the Community Services Division of Collierville Police, he was dedicated to providing service to the community. White recently passed away and was honored for his years of work with a $500 donation to Collierville Food Pantry.

For a majority of seniors who volunteer, their community service helps deine who they are. According to research conducted for the Home Instead Se-

nior Care network, nearly 100 percent of senior volunteers say that when compared to other things they do in their lives, volunteering is important.

One in ive senior volunteers says it is the most important thing they do.

Retirement doesn’t mean one doesn’t still have a lot to ofer. Volunteerism often provides much needed assistance to the person as well as the organization of business. The Collierville Police Department Special Citizen’s Volunteer Program further enables CPD to continue to provide not only the essential services necessary for the

community, but special services such as assisting motorists and vacation checks.

The program is open for able-bodied individuals with time and talent necessary to help provide nonenforcement services the community desires.

The program will often provide man-hours in the areas of the administrative division, criminal investigation division, patrol division, training/public relations unit and adds visibility to the department.

Volunteers are not sworn police oicers, yet some qualiications must be met — good physical

health, good vision, a valid Tennessee driver’s license and have a good driving record, must not have been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanor crime involving moral turpitude and must be of unquestionable character.

The program requires attendance at a defensive driving course provided

by Collierville Police and volunteer a minimum of 16 hours per month.

For more information, colliervillepolice.org / opportunities.
