FINAL FLURRY Last-play touchdown catch by senior Boring gives Tigers win

The Tigers (10-2) advance to the quarterinals for the irst time. They’ll travel this week to face Whitehaven, which scored with 15 seconds to go to defeat Clarksville Rossview, 14-7. “I’m in shock,” said Boring. “The ball tipped twice and I just sort of gator-armed it and brought it in. It feels great. I knew I had to do something to make up for that dropped touchdown.” Trailing 32-28, the Tigers got the ball back after stopping Houston on a fourth-and-two on their own 22 with 58 seconds left to go. Kolwyck, a freshman who inished with four touchdown passes, drove the Tigers into striking range. It looked like Houston had held, but the Mustangs (10-2) were called for pass interference, giving Arlington one more shot with the clock showing all zeros. Kolwyck lofted it up in the end zone and the ball tipped of two players’ hands before settling softly in

fter dropping a touchdown pass earlier in the fourth quarter, Jackson Boring was in the right spot to make perhaps the biggest play in Arlington football history. Boring, a senior, caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Tate Kolwyck with no time on the clock to give the Tigers a heart-stopping 34-32 victory over visiting Houston in the second round of the 6A playofs last Friday.

About two dozen people came to the Germantown Municipal School Board meeting Monday night to lobby for a change to the 7 a.m. start time at two of the system’s schools. The hot-button issue was not on the board’s agenda, but Supt. Jason Manuel said at a work session last week that he and his staf will present recommendations to the board next month. Houston High and Houston Middle start at 7 a.m. Of the dozen or so who spoke, many cited concerns about students’ health and their learning environment. “I have to say I am tired almost constantly,” Houston High sophomore Cam Meanwell said. “I was out of school last Friday because I was so run down I could not recover from a simple cold.” His mother, Laura Meanwell, also spoke, and raised concerns about buses being “under-utilized.” “When we have online preregistration for 2015, why not have a section for transportation?” she said. “We could ind out who intends to ride the bus.” Manuel said his administration by no means disputes the studies showing a later start time is beneicial for students. The reality, he said after the meeting, is iguring out how to make the change. “At no point should we sacriice instruction and teaching staf for start times. We are already at the minimum amount of staing,” Manuel said, later adding, “There’s a few things I’ll stand strong on and that’s one of them.”
