RM rolls out newest addition ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
A new fire truck has been assigned to Farragut Station No. 11. Rural Metro Fire Department demonstrated Farragut’s new 2014 Pumper to Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the beginning of its workshop and meeting Thursday, March 13. Alderman Ron Honken applauded Rural Metro for the new pumper. The new truck will be staffed at fire hall No. 11 off Campbell Station Road. It holds a 750-gallon water supply on board and a 1,250 gallon-per-minute pump, Dan Johnson, Town fire marshal
working for Rural Metro, said. Clarence Patten with Rural Metro said the old pumper had a 4-inch diameter intake while the new truck has a 5-inch intake. “We gained more water,” he said. “The previous apparatus that we have had out here has been reliable,” Johnson said. “It is almost 20 years old and in the life cycle of apparatus things start to get tired and things start to wear out. It’s still in complete working shape, but it was time to start to cycle out trucks and put in more of a reserve capacity or a different capacity as far as response goes. See FIRE TRUCK on Page 4A
Rural Metro and town of Farragut officials gather around a new 2014 Pumper, which will be staffed at the Campbell Station fire hall No. 11. Among those present are Mayor Ralph McGill, Clarence Patten with Rural Metro, Alderman Bob Markli, Dan Johnson, Farragut fire inspector; Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche, Alderman Ron Honkin, assistant fire chief Rick Herrell and battalion chief Ken Tuggle.
Several running for Knox County ‘Top Cop’ ■

Challengers Bobby Waggoner and Sam Hammett point to ample law enforcement experience, while citing too little Farragut patrol coverage, as they look to dethrone incumbent Knox County Sheriff Jimmy “J.J.” Jones in the Tuesday, May 6, Republican Primary election. Hammett, 40, a Knox County Sheriff’s Officer for nine years (2003-2012) who served under Jones, said “Knox County citizens are not getting the safety and protection they deserve.” As a patrolman after first serving as a corrections officer, Hammett said he was “seeing the difficulties that our county and our citizens face every day, and the lack of support that the citizens get from this current sheriff
and his administration.” Hammett said Jones’ budget h a s increased from $56 million to $72 million since he took office, yet he’s added “not a single” patrolman to the Jones streets. As for current Farragut coverage, “The Knox County Sheriff’s Office only dedicates one officer to that grid area that’s considered Farragut,” Hammett said. “And most of the time that officer’s not in that area.” With 35 years of Knox law enforcement experience, Jones, 55, was appointed in February 2008 as then-Sheriff Tim
Hutchison were deemed “term limited,” then elected in 2010. Jones said KCSO manpower hasn’t increased “since 1998,” currently with roughly 1,050 offic e r s . H o w e v e r, “We’re doing Hammett the same with what we had in 1998,” he added. Jones also said it was his “guesstimate” that KCSO has “as many as eight or nine officers in the incorporated area of Farragut at certain times.” With 44 years Knox law enforcement experience, Waggoner, 67, said he’s talked to several Farragut citizens, “and
they’re not real happy about not having cars patrolling neighborhoods.” Hoping to beef up Farragut patrols, “I’d like to get into the aspect of having, for lack of a better term, a Waggoner substation down there, “Waggoner added. “I know we have an office in the Town Hall. … But we’re centralized right now. I’d like to look into the aspect … of decentralizing and putting precincts or substations out at least in the four areas of the county: north, south, east and west. “It’s a big county, and we need to cut down on response times and get police-
men back into the neighborhoods.” As for his other accomplishments, Jones pointed to “the Safety Center that the attorney general [Randy Nichols] and I have been working on for about four years,” which would “take the mentally ill and alcohol and drug dependent” from the jail “and get then the help they need.” Jones also points to “putting prisoners to work. … This year prisoners did over 125,000 man hours for non-profit agencies, saved taxpayers millions of dollars. “We’ve also implemented the crime mapping system,” Jones added. “In my 35 years I’ve never seen a better tool that the citizenry can get on.

Waggoner said he’s a third generation Knox County law enforcement officer. Of his 44 years service, “the last 13 were in the [Knox County] Sheriff’s Office. “I’m not looking for any accolades, I’m just looking to give back to my community. … I
think I can do a better job than what’s being done now,” Waggoner added. “We need leadership, and we need a different direction than what we are now.” With 1,050 officers, Waggoner said, “You only have somewhere around 100 officers patrolling in a 24 hour period. And that needs to be greater.” Hammett said that if elected, “I’ll immediately start by providing the necessary manpower to ensure the safety of all Knox County citizens,” adding that excess “captains and chiefs” in the Jones administration “is burning money that could be used for putting actual individuals out there on the street.”

Is there anyone out there who thinks it a bit odd that gambling and liquor sales tax proceeds go to education? … Maybe everyone is too busy to call in due to trying to sign up for the ACA?

Eric Coffey is Farragut area representative, so to speak, for a special 13-person competition to raise money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “I have been asked by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Knoxville to raise money through their 2014 Knoxville Area LLS Man and Woman of the Year Contest,” Coffey, senior clinical oncology specialist with Genetech USA, Inc., said. “Because I work in the industry of cancer, so to speak, I have offered my services.” Helping Coffey raise money “is the No. 1 musical artist in Knoxville,” which Coffey said is Brad Blackwell, his cousin. “He plays a little bit of everything.” “He has offered to play a concert for me with all the proceeds going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,” Coffey added about Blackwell’s performance in The Orangery “upstairs banquet hall” in downtown Knoxville beginning at 7 p.m., Friday, March 21. Blackwell said he “did a benefit concert for LLS at the Bijou theater in February of last year. … It sold out.” In the end, “It raised about $4,500,” Blackwell added. This year’s concert includes “free hors d’oeuvres from The Orangery with a $20 cover” fee, Coffey, a Saddleridge subdivision resident, said. Coffey said he’s had family experience dealing with cancer. “We just lost my wife’s uncle [in late February] here in Farragut to leukemia. “My mother’s a breast cancer survivor,” Coffey added about Shirlee Coffey.

Farragut Middle School seventh-grader Will Thorley was named this year’s winner of FMS spelling bee. The 13-year-old won first by spelling “vertigo” correctly then spelling “garnishee.” He will compete in the Appalachian Regional Spelling Bee in March at The University of Tennessee. Ben Joo, a Thorley 12-year-old FMS seventh-grader, was a close second-place winner. In presenting the top two spellers, principal Danny Trent said, “We’re very proud of you guys. Only the best of the best get here, folks.” All of the 25 students participated in a written test before competing in the oral part of the bee. LeAnn Trotter, lead English teacher in charge of the school’s bee, said this is the first year a written test was administered. She said because there are so many students participating at the regional level, students competing in that bee take a written test to “take so many off the top;” so she decided to follow that procedure at the school level, too. Judy Rule, instructional coach and the bee moderator, said the 25 students at FMS were four eighthgraders, 11 seventh-graders and 10 sixth-graders. “The interest was very high,” she said. “We’re happy about that.” “I’m just glad they take it so seriously and want to get involved,” Trotter said.

as the pronouncer, while Sonja Frye and Sarah Mayer served as judges. “I feel pretty good about it,” Will said about his win at FMS spelling bee Wednesday, Jan. 22. “It’s a good achievement. I’m proud of myself.” He thanked Ben for competing against him.
“It’s a great experience,” Will said. “He is prepared to go to the next step, he said. Because of competing regionally last year, he knows the process. Will is the son of Dale and Nicole Thorley of Farragut. This is the boy’s fourth time winning the school spelling bee. He won in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, as well, and went to the regional competition last year and placed sixth.
Margulies ‘Stride’ against cancer

A Farragut couple is teaming up to take the helm as co-chairmen of this year’s American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising walk. “The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce the commitment of a husband and wife team, Dr. Aaron and Imelda Margulies as co-chairs of this year’s American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk,” Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event manager Amy Fields said. Fields said this year’s 5k
fundraising event is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 5, at World’s Fair Park. Aaron Margulies, M.D., Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, is a breast surgical oncologist with extra training in the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Imelda Margulies, a family nurse practitioner, serves as a high-risk assessment coordinator who does cancer genetic counseling. “Cancer has fascinated me since I was about 5 years old, which is the reason I became a doctor,” Dr. Margulies said. “My father had colon cancer, my mother-in-law died from breast cancer
and I had melanoma – it’s all behind me now.” Margulies said they became involved through friends. “Some of our friends are very involved in Strides, and so I wanted to become involved,” he said. ”There was an opportunity – the couple needed someone to be a chairman – so my wife and I decided we would be honored and happy to serve as co-chairmen of Strides. “It’s another opportunity for me and my wife to help the community who have been so generous to us,” he said.

A clean kitchen sink Shields helping seniors with smartphones can bring world peace ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL
rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Eric with great anticipation. Then Eric exploded in laughter! The two geeks were convulsed over the hilarious equation that was apparently wrong. When they were wornout by the joke, both Terry and I knew it was useless to ask what was so funny. We just enjoyed the joy! What Elinor’s Nobel Prize (as far as I could conclude) is really based on a quote I found and put in Sidetracked Home Executives. If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation there will be peace on earth. When we find ways to be happy (righteousness in the heart) our character is beautiful. When we shine with a beautiful character we are kind to those closest to us and to those we meet outside of our homes. When we are not quick to find fault and show appreciation for our family members they are willing to take part in making our homes sanctuaries from the world. When our homes are peaceful and clean our family members,
I received an email from a dear friend in Indiana, telling me about a woman in her state, Elinor Ostrom, w h o received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics. What caught my friend’s attention was this Pam c o m m e n t Young by Elinor: Make it "The family Fun! is a governance unit. And the kitchen sink is a commons." My friend is a journalist who wrote a feature story in the Los Angeles Times about Sidetracked Home Executive: from pigpen to paradise, the first book my sister and I wrote together. She is very familiar with my work helping homemakers get organized. That’s why the comment grabbed her. She sent me the article (which I read) and it linked me to Elinor’s talk at Indiana University (which I listened to). Elinor tickled me with her brilliant mind, complicated charts and graphs (she was intellectually way over my head most of the time) and her exuberance and enthusiasm for what she and her colleagues figured out. It’s fun to listen to intellectuals! I have the utmost admiration for their gifted intelligence. (Eric my stepson is gifted that way and I remember my husband Terry and I visiting him at M.I.T. and once while we were walking on the campus another student came up to him wearing a t-shirt with x(5c ÷ 3a? + 2‰ x ??+ y ≤97?) + 6y = 10 (or something like that) written on it. Eric stared at the guy’s shirt for a few seconds and the guy watched
A local 13-year-old is helping senior citizens with their smartphones and tablets. Connor Shields, an eighth grader at Farragut Middle School, has a volunteer community service project where he helps seniors with any questions they have about the use of their smartphones or tablets. As of Friday, Jan. 17 interviews, Connor Shields has done two service events with the project: one at Echo Ridge Retirement Community in October and another at Farragut Presbyterian Church in
January, said his mother, Pamela Shields. “Oh, I think it’s a wonderful experience for him,” Pamela Shields said. “It’s a wonderful life experience. He’s gaining skills and learning how to listen and assist people, and he enjoys it. He loves to feel like he’s done something to help them and help them better understand technology because he loves technology, and he’s good at it.” Connor Shields’ grandparents go to Farragut Presbyterian Church, Connor Shields said. Connor Shields said he likes teaching. “What I normally do is, I have the person tell me what problems
they’re having or what they need help on, and then I would demonstrate how to do that on my phone and have them do it along with me on theirs,” Connor Shields said. One person that Connor Shields helped at Farragut Presbyterian was Faye Greenlaw. “I know how to use my cell phone, and I text,” Greenlaw said. But Greenlaw had questions about the capabilities of her phone, as well as specific questions regarding organizing and printing photos on her phone. Greenlaw called Connor Shields focused.

“I’ve played with girls but in order to improve your skills, you have to play with and against the best. I love playing with the boys. The game’s a lot faster.” Callahan, a forward for Farragut, also began playing in the third grade and she became enamored with the game watching neighbors. “I’ve played since the third grade, off and on,” she said. “I had two

neighbors who played and I always enjoyed watching them play. “I’ve played a lot of sports. I’ve played soccer, softball, basketball and I’ve run track. Hockey is such a different sport. You get to skate and what appeals to me is the aggressiveness.” Callahan loves the sport so much that she traded in her ballet slippers for a hockey stick and ice skates. This female duo is playing in a very physically demanding sport. But women playing for men’s hockey teams aren’t all that unique.
In 1992, Manon Rheaume signed a free agent contract with the National Hockey League’s Tampa Bay Lightning. She played for Tampa Bay in the preseasons of 1992 and 1993. She’s the only woman to appear in a NHL game. She never quite made it but spent several seasons in the minor leagues and even had a stint with the Knoxville Cherokees. Magill, who also plays between the pipes, said she was familiar with Rheaume’s career. The only female to play in the NHL did so before Magill and Callahan were
born but they have their own heroes in the game. Magill, an avid Colorado Avalanche fan, said she looks up to Patrick Roy, Colorado’s head coach who won Stanley Cups as a netminder with the Avalanche and the Montreal Canadiens. Magill also spent time at Pekka Rinne’s goaltending camp and said the Nashville Predators’ goalie had a lasting influence on her. “I like Pekka Rinne and Tuukka Rask in Boston,” she said. “I went to Pekka Rinne’s camp and I
changed my style after watching Pekka Rinne.” Callahan is a Detroit Red Wings fan but said her favorite player is Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the NHL’s top young forwards. “I guess I’d have to say that I like the Red Wings,” Callahan said. “They’re my mom’s favorite team. I guess my favorite player is Patrick Kane.” Magill and Callahan are girls who happen to play for the same team and they’ve developed a bond.

their musical efforts on their own turf.” Looking back on what motivated him to accept KSO’s offer in 2003, “I remember being contacted by a member of the KSO’s Music Director search committee who inquired as to my inter-
est in the position,” Richman said. “The timing was right, as I had been assistant and resident conductor for the Pittsburgh Symphony for five years already and was eager to step into a stronger leadership role.

Mark Packer Farragut resident, popular television anchor ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Mark Packer once hit Tom Landry in the face with a microphone, then had his “Friday Night Lights” partially turned out after provoking the head coach of nationally famous football power Permian High School in Odessa, Texas. Though never intending to provoke Landry, the late Hall of Fame NFL coach, or Permian brass — banned from Permian practices for one year after questioning the validity of a touchdown catch on the air — Packer moved his broadcast journalism skills out of the Lone Star State. He and wife, De De, settled in Knox County in August 1996. They moved to Farragut in 2008. His stay as weekend sports anchor at WBIR-TV 10 was only supposed to be a temporary experience-building bridge “toward a top-10 market back in Dallas-Fort Worth,” said Packer, emphasizing he happily remains a Farragut resident and Knoxville television personality almost 18 years later. “Once we got here we just decided this was a great place to raise our girls,” added Packer, 45, sports director at WBIR from 1999 until fall of 2004, where he was voted “Best Sportscaster” in a newspaper poll five straight years. “As we grew our family, we were just like, ‘Why would we want to leave here?’” In January 2005, Packer become co-anchor of FIRST at 4:00 (p.m.) on WVLT-TV Channel 8. Lauren Davis has been his FIRST at 4:00 co-anchor roughly the past three years. “I enjoy the 4 o’clock news just because no two days are the
same,” Packer said. “… They’re letting us have a lot of fun on the 4 o’clock show.” As for his start locally, “The heyday of Tennessee Football I got to be a part of, which was really, really cool,” said Packer, who remains anchor of “The Locker Room” call-in show for UT Football at 11 p.m. each fall Sunday night,” with WVLT being the Volunteers’ flagship station. “Having a relationship with Peyton Manning through the years was a whole lot of fun.” However, “My real passion’s high school. … I think high school football has come a long ways here compared to what it was when we got here in ’96,” added Packer, also voice of MyVLT “Rivalry Thursday” night high school football game of the week the past five seasons. Packer and Dee Dee have three daughters: Hillary, 22, Blakelee, 17, and Presley, 14. Earning a broadcasting degree at Texas Christian University in 1991, “I interned at the NBC affiliate for five years,” Packer said. Accidentally hit in the back while interviewing Landry before a Dallas Cowboys preseason game in San Diego — while a TCU intern — “The microphone went right up Tom Landry’s nose,” Packer said. Pointing out that Landry wasn’t upset, “That’s something I’ll never forget,” he added. In 1991 Packer was hired as weekend sports anchor with the ABC affiliate in Midland-Odessa. He was promoted to sports director in fall 1992. Confirming the Texas passion for football in Odessa matches its “Friday Night Lights” reputation, “It was 25,000 people on a Friday night,” he said.

when they leave to go out into the world will reflect that peace and order to a world that needs each and every one of us. When each and every one of us is needed by each other there is peace. Our kitchens are really the commons, but our kitchen sinks are a reflection of how we take care of the commons. Listening to Elinor it suddenly dawned on me that a dirty, slimy, smelly sink filled with

kind.” Norris taught elementary school for 20 years in Ohio, she said. “He showed me how to use my contacts,” she said. “He showed me how to use the tools like the alarm clock. He just showed me things that I could use that I haven’t been using.”
mystery water and heaped with unwashed dishes is just a reflection of several habits that are in place at that time. Habits generate results. Good habits generate peace, joy and beauty; bad habits generate stress and frustration. Once a habit is in place we are either free to enjoy the bounty of the result or imprisoned in the effects of it. It’s up to us. Now I’m not Swedish, I didn’t invent dynamite and I’m not on the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee, but I declare all of you who

FSG Bank, 155 N. Campbell Station Road, celebrates its 10th anniversary in March. Tenae Shipley, branch manager, has worked at the location since it opened. “I’ve enjoyed working here and getting to know the customers and the people in the community,” Shipley said. Starting as assistant branch manager, Shipley has served as branch manager at the location for seven years, she said. “It’s just exciting to watch the branch grow as we get new customers.” She talked about how her employees interact with customers. “We know our customers on a personal level, and our customers are also our friends,” she said. “... We know
about their families. When they come in to make a transaction, we get to know them.” The branch held a grand reopening Friday, Feb. 28 to coincide with implementation of new branding, she said. Jeff Olingy, FSG Bank’s chief marketing officer, said rebranding for the North Campbell Station Road branch was scheduled to be effective Feb. 28. The re-branding includes “new color schemes, signage in the branches to alert our clients to maybe new product offerings or new services that we have, new brochure racks, brochures, new outside signage,” he said. “It really is designed to give the customer, give the client a more pleasant and productive, probably a more pleasant and productive environment within our branches to do business.”

Examples of requests he’s had in the past year include Justin Bieber’s hair, George Clooney’s hair, Sean Connery’s beard and “Duck Dynasty” beards. Carroll described the beards. “Everything from Sean Connery, which is a real tight-looking, short, very well-defined, I’d call it, look versus the longer-type ‘Duck Dynasty,’ just-wanted-ittrimmed-up type look,” he said. As for atmosphere, “The men ... like the idea of having their own type of male environment to go to, and a lot of the mothers too

With the new year also came new owners at Campbell Station Wine & Spirits, located at 707 N. Campbell Station Road.

We took possession of the store, technically it was Jan. 1, but that’s a holiday, so we actually took position Jan. 2 of 2014.” The previous owner was Pamela Treacy.

Chambers, Rutter lead FHS past Red Rebels ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Chase Chambers’ pair of huge RBI hits, solid sidearm relief from Ben Rutter and good defense: three big reasons Farragut held off perennial District 4-AAA contender Maryville. “Ben’s innings were the key to the game. We did a good job of swinging the bats early,” FHS head coach Matt Buckner said about a 5-3 Admirals home win at John Heatherly Field Wednesday evening, March 13. “Ben obviously did a great job comAdmirals 5 ing in Rebels 3 t h e r e t h o s e three innings [fourth through the sixth] and getting us outs there,” Buckner added about the junior righthander (four strikeouts, one earned run, two hits and no walks). “And Duncan [Pence] did a good job coming in and finishing it up” in the seventh. Pence, sophomore starting shortstop, closed out the win in relief by inducing a flyout and two groundouts. Rutter said, “It felt great. Everything was working: change-up, curveball, fastball. It was just a good day today.” Chambers, senior first baseman, belted a two-RBI triple to See ADMIRALS on Page 18A

Lady Admirals softball 2-0 in district, win two in Brentwood ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
While David Moore said he’d like to see his Farragut softball team come up with more clutch hits after compiling a 4-3 record last week, he’s especially happy about one thing. “Being 2-0 in the district is a good start there,” Moore said about 4-AAA wins against Hardin Valley Academy and Heritage to open the season. “We were in every game we played [last week], which is what you want. “We’ve just got to get a little more clutch at the plate and get
big hits when we need them,” he added. “Hopefully we’ll get a little bit better at that and find ways to win those close ballgames. “It’s still early.” Emily Smith, FHS junior and pitching staff ace, fired a onehitter (five innings) with four strikeLady Admirals 12 outs as the Lady Lady Mountaineers 0 Admirals drilled Heritage 12-0 at Bellamy Field Thursday, March 13. Avery Blankenburg, senior leadoff hitter, belted two hits and scored two runs. Next came Farragut’s trip to
Brentwood for Chick-fil-A Classic Friday and Saturday, March 14-15. Rallying from a 6-2 deficit versus Franklin during its last atbat (in the fourth inning due to time limits), Farragut scored six runs to claim an 8-6 victory Friday evening. Sophomore Mary Claire Coyne ended the game in dramatic fashion, smacking a walkoff two-run homer. A 2-0 loss to Chattanooga Girls Preparatory School followed Friday night.

Hardin Valley Hawks finally beat Farragut, start 6-0 ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
What a week for Hardin Valley Academy baseball. While starting perfect at 6-0, the Hawks rallied to pick up the program’s first-ever victory against Class AAA powerhouse Farragut — and new District 4AAA rival — with a 4-3 home win Wednesday, March 12. “It the Hawks 4 first time w e ’ v e Admirals 3 ever beaten them in the six years we’ve been a team,” Vinnie Gambuzza, junior second baseman, said. “We’ve only had three or four shots at them.”
Unlike past seasons, last Wednesday “was the first time we ever felt like we were up there with them,” Gambuzza added. “It’s a great start for us, we’ve just got to keep it going.” “Will Neely was phenomenal in the Farragut game,” HVA head coach Joe Michalski said about his junior righthanded staff ace starting and working six innings. “We made some errors in that game and he didn’t let it get to him one bit. “He was very tough.” Tyler Thompson picked up the save in one inning of work, wiggling out of a self-made jam in the seventh with a two-out strikeout.

Wallie Culbreth wanted to extend an olive branch of encouragement to Mike Horner, head coach of a Halls Red Devils soccer team fresh off being blasted by Culbreth’s No. 2 nationally ranked Farragut Admirals. “We got beat 10-1 and still came back and won the state championship” in 2007, Culbreth said to Horner after the 11-0 rout at Farragut Intermediate School field Wednesday night, March 12. A hat trick (three goals) from Kai Miettinen, senior center midf i e l d e r, Admirals 11 was the offensive Red Devils 0 highlight, as the Admirals (2-0) led 7-0 at halftime before Culbreth emptied his bench in the second half. “It’s good to have one of these games just to work on our plays and our runs and everything like that,” Miettinen said. “It’s good to get some of these other guys in to play and learn what we do, so in the future they can do the same stuff.”
Miettinen said his hat trick, the first of his career, “feels awesome.” Other first-half goals were scored by Konner McCarley, Tyler Klarner, Alex Schupp and Ethan Snow. Zach Humphries scored twice in the second half for FHS, while Juan Aranda and Freddy Bahati each had one goal after the break. Farragut was coming off a tough 1-0 home win against West one night earlier. Ryan Coughenour, senior left midfielder, said, “It’s always good for the team to have a nice, relaxing game after a real hard game like that. It gives a lot of the younger guys more experience out on the field. I think they’re happy about the playing time. It’s good all around.” About the Admirals’ No. 2 national ranking, “That’s a lot of pressure, but I think we’re a team that’s capable of holding that spot,” Coughenour said. “I started five sophomores,” Culbreth said. “I’ve got a white team [mostly starters] and a blue team [mostly second string], and I was able to put my blue team out there and show my white team

what they’re doing wrong. And I was able to flip it back and forth. Winning the second half 4-0, “My blue team showed what kind of team they were,” Culbreth added. With Halls starting four freshmen, “The boys take a lot from it because they don’t realize the levels of soccer ability in Knoxville when you only play a certain group every year,” Horner said. “By playing this group, they have an aspiration to step up and work a little harder in practice.” Despite the blowout, “They’re not discouraged,” Horner added. “They’re just happy to play.”

back Saturday morning to beat Nashville Christian School 10-2. Freshman Lexee Lamoree went 3-for-3 at the plate, which included a home run and triple. Junior Shelby Miller added two hits, including a home run, and three RBI. Despite connecting for 13 hits against Shelbyville Central Saturday afternoon in an elimination game, the Lady Admirals
lost 7-6. “We just couldn’t hang on to a lead,” Moore said. Hannah Stephenson and Smith each had two hits and scored one run. Farragut’s next game is a district contest at Lenoir City, which is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 25. A showdown versus archrival Bearden happens two days later at BHS’s Bellamy Field. First pitch is set to be thrown at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, March 27.

Admirals From page 16A
deep centerfield in the first inning, scoring Sam Schulze (lead-off single) and Gabe Waldrop (reached on throwing error). Buckner labeled Chambers’ triple as “huge.” Pence’s sacrifice fly scored Chambers. A sharp single to center by Chambers in the third inning scored Waldrop, who walked. Chambers scored on Nico Mascia’s RBI single. “I’ve been seeing the ball well. I’ve been pretty aggressive on fastballs lately and it’s working out pretty well,” Chambers said. “The first atbat, I didn’t get a 100 percent of the ball but I hit it solid enough.”
Losing Red Rebels pitcher Alex Curl, MHS staff ace who beat the Admirals last season, allowed four earned runs and six hits. Schulze also had two hits for the Admirals (2-1 after the win). Cole Morgan added an infield single. Chambers said about Curl, “Last year he was really good, had great stuff. And his stuff was good this year, we were just aggressive in fastball counts.” Buckner added, “We played good defense. You play good defense in high school baseball and you have a great chance to win.” Junior lefty Eric Lessig, one of Buckner’s top starting pitchers, worked three innings. Lessig allowed two earned runs and four hits while giving up three walks. He struck out two.
Playing its first game of the 2014 due to “rain outs” and “exams” according to MHS head coach Jimmy Gaylor, the Red Rebels ended with six hits. Catcher Dylan Shinsky ripped a solo home run in the third inning and scored following a single in the fifth. The Red Rebels also scored in the second with two hits and a walk. “It’s tough going out there against Farragut in your first innings” of the season, Gaylor said. “The top of their order is pretty solid, and they got off to a good start. “But I thought we settled in and stayed in the game. Alex kept us in the game,” Gaylor added. “I thought we played well, but you’ve got to play a little extra good against a Farragut team, especially here at this field.”

Hawks From page 16A
“He showed some guts right there,” Michalski said. Four Bearden Invitational Tournament victories (all played at HVA) began with a 2-0 win against Grace Christian Academy Thursday, March 13, where Hawks sophomore Dylan Harris fired a no-hitter in his first-ever varsity pitching appearance. “I knew he had a great pre-season on the mound. He’s always looked good in bullpens, he did well in scrimmages, but you never think a guy’s going to come out and throw a no-hitter on his first go of it,” Michalski said. Following BIT wins against Catholic (6-1) one day later and versus Seymour (10-0) Saturday afternoon, March 14, the Hawks ended the week with drama versus Oak Ridge Saturday evening. Falling behind 5-2 in the 10th inning before rallying with three runs to tie culminating with a two-strike, two-out RBI single
from Gambuzza — a controversial out call at home kept it from being the game-winning hit — Hardin Valley would claim victory in the 11th inning. “Today I got my first hit of the season,” Gambuzza, who worked 3 2/3 innings of relief, said. Trey Branaum’s RBI double down the left field line scored Dom Leo, who walked then stole second, for a thrilling 6-5 Hawks win. “It was a fastball, it was a fullcount and a I had to do something about it,” Branaum, senior centerfielder, said. “I just struck it to left field and won the game. “We pick each other up, we never quit,” Branaum added. Winning pitcher Seth Hunt fired a perfect 11th inning of relief (one strikeout). Hardin Valley’s 10th inning rally began with Sully Smoak’s bloop single to left field. With two on and two out, Harris’ bloop single to left scored Smoak. Two infield errors and a walk to Ian Pung set the stage for Gambuzza’s single to centerfield.
