Resident upset with new town sign ■
Ben Pounds
Mike Mitchell of Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development holds up one of the current signs used to mark properties under consideration for rezoning at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting Thursday, May 26. He said he objected to the signs’ ambiguous wording and difficult to read blue on white lettering. He also said he objected to this particular sign’s placement near a walking trail rather than the road and its tendency to fall to the ground.

Mike Mitchell, activist with Farragut Citizens for Responsible Growth and Development, said Farragut’s current signs used to mark property rezoning disenfranchise residents. He spoke about the difficulty to see and understand the current rezoning signs at the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission meeting Thursday, May 19, and at the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen Meeting Thursday, May 26. Mitchell said he came to BOMA because Ed Whiting, temporary FMPC chair, would not let him show pictures of signs at its meeting. He brought the sign itself to BOMA. Mitchell said a new sign he saw for the rezoning of property near his neighborhood was difficult to understand while driving along Turkey Creek Road “I couldn’t read it because it was on the walking path,” he said to BOMA members. “It’s com-
pletely invisible in bright sunlight.” Mitchell said its blue and white color scheme made it illegible and the sign tended to fall. “This sign has spent more time on the ground than it has upright,” he said to FMPC members. Mitchell said the sign’s wording was too vague and he thought the sign was for the beautification committee and if he had not seen the rezoning announcement in a newspaper, he would not have known the sign’s purpose. “It’s just an issue of fairness,” he said to farragutpress. “This completely disenfranchised residents.” Mitchell said at BOMA he knew law did not require signs. “It may meet the letter of the law, but we’re better than that,” he said. Mitchell said he preferred the previous signs, which had white lettering on a black background and read: “Use on Review.” Current signs read: “Notice: See RESIDENT on Page 2A

Mailen Tower stands at 160 feet off Concord Road with artificial branches to disguise it as a tree.
Branch, FMPC find balance with tower ■

Mailen Tower off Concord Road may have branches like an evergreen tree, but in reality, it is a 160-foot cell tower. Jared Ledet, chief operating officer for Branch Communications, the developer of the tower, said the artificial branches resulted from a Farragut Municipal Planning Commission stipulation. “The only way that tower would be approved was on the condition that it be stealthed as a monopine, as you see it standing today” Ledet said. Mark Shipley, Farragut Community Development director,
said FMPC looked at different stealthing applications but felt the artificial branches were the best fit for that property. “There’s existing pine trees on the property and … some of the other stealth applications in that context, I guess [FMPC] felt like would look like they were out of place,” he said. Ledet said opinions about preferred appearance of cell towers could vary. “It’s always a fine balance, and the balance of this is in each of the eyes of the beholder,” Ledet said. “One may look at that and say ‘that looks absolutely as an eyeSee BRANCH on Page 4A
order to build the build the development. Doug Horne, owner of Republic Newspapers including “Farragut Press” is the owner of this land to be rezoned, which is near the “Farragut Press” office. Gary Keckley, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Development at Goodworks Unlimited LLC said at the meeting he was committed to closing on the property before the second reading with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The meeting included other topics as well. The commission-
ers approved with architectural changes a site plan for the mixed use Farragut Town Center on Campbell Station Road at the old Silver Spoon site and discussed a request to amend the front yard setback requirement. They unanimously approved a request to rezone 16.3 acres of property on Turkey Creek Road with a 35-lot limit. They discussed but did not vote on an application by Steve Dedman to amend General Commercial District Zoning to allow for craft See FMPC on Page 2A
Russell house wings may be demolished

The wings on Avery Russell House may be demolished. “Our goal is to get the house to its original condition … We want to take it back to the original four sides of the building, clean up the rest of it and structurally get it to where people can enter and exit safely,” David Smoak, town administrator, said. Sue Stuhl, Parks and Leisure Services director, said Brewer, Ingram, Fuller Architects was working on the project. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. Valerie E. Altzer, archeologist in direct charge, said, in a preliminary archeological report in March, David Campbell had a frontier station in the area in 1876, while the house itself may date to around 1820. During its time as an inn, various people
including politicians stayed there. It stands near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road. Stuhl said the site is important because it is one of the oldest buildings in Farragut. “The house and land have witnessed much over the years, from conflicts between the early settlers and American Indians to the Civil War’s Battle of Campbell Station to the incorporation of the town of Farragut,” she said. “We don’t know too many details about it,” Stuhl said about the potential plans. “We don’t have a plan yet for taking down the additions, nor a cost or a schedule. This is something that the architect is working on at present.” Smoak said the architects were working on cost estimates. “We’re not going to get [the estimates] back until September or October so it’s going to be
some time before we know what the cost estimates are going to be, and then the Board will decide,” he said. Stuhl said the possible removal of the wings would make sense for two reasons. One is they were not part of the house’s original structure and secondly, they are deteriorating. “Take it back to the Campbell Station era,” Stuhl said regarding what the Town might like to do. “We’re still working on getting it stabilized.” Smoak said the Town probably would aim to let people tour the home but would not necessarily find a final use for the home right away. “I think this will give us some time to determine what we’d like to do long-term for the inside of the house,” Smoak said. He said the Town may eventuSee RUSSELL on Page 4A

During the same meeting, Paul Schaffer spoke about his plans to build the Farragut Town Center on the former Silver Spoon site. “They’re running out of patience,” Schaffer said regarding future tenants of the development. It would include onestory brick buildings with the appearance of two stories. Farragut resident Robin Hill said the development would be difficult for traffic. “Virtually unworkable,” he said, regarding his view of how to make the development work for traffic flow. Noah Myers proposed using signs to direct the traffic.

townview: Bob Markli Democracy was described by Benjamin Franklin as two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. While revisionists and “progressives” love to toss around the term, democracy is essentially mob rule. It was abhorred by the astute founders of this nation w h o s e Bob study of e a r l y Markli democraAlderman c i e s Town of demonstrated to Farragut them that democracies quickly devolved into anarchy followed by tyranny. Instead, the writers of our Constitution wisely chose to create a representative republic; a republic of law based on a moral code that gave equal protection to the lambs (the weak and minorities) as it did to the majority and the wolves. The “Great Experiment” of America didn’t take long to become the envy of the world. In many ways that “experiment” is still in the laboratory as we seek to learn if it can survive its own success. But that is a subject for another discussion. As Knoxville began expanding westward in the 1960s and ’70s the beautiful rolling farmland along Highway 70 appealed to many, and developers began buying farms in the area of what is now Farragut and building subdivisions. It did not take long before the new homeowners in the area
outnumbered the original landowners, as one 40-acre farm (once occupied by a family of seven or eight) was soon occupied by 150 or more new residents. Now with close to 22,000 residents occupying the 16.2 square miles within the boundaries of the town of Farragut, not long ago occupied by perhaps a couple of hundred families, the remaining few original owners of large tracts of land in Town are down to just a handful. They represent a tiny minority of the Town’s residents, perhaps less than one-half of 1 percent. They have become the sheep in my analogy. Now to my point. Around 2007 the Town began incorporating the “Complete Streets” concept into its planning, and in 2010 the Town’s Planning Commission approved the concept and submitted it to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for informational purposes, favoring the new standards for all street improvements required for development of its remaining land. These streets would require not only wider traffic lanes, but bike lanes, curb and gutter, 5-foot sidewalks on one side and an 8-foot walking trail on the other, and to meet strict grade and curve requirements among other things. It seemed like a great idea. We all want good safe roads. But the one thing left out of the equation was a funding mechanism to pay for all this. Now a study funded by the Town has been completed that estimates it may take upwards of $51 million to upgrade the remaining unimproved nine miles of road in six corridors of Town. This is a daunting figure. To put it in perspective, this would consume more than
the entire revenue of the Town for the next seven years to accomplish. What this is being interpreted to mean is that the remaining land in Town cannot be developed until these roads are improved to the new standard. By a mechanism termed “Impact Fees,” an attempt is being made to make the remaining landowners and any new residents purchasing lots on these lands be made to bear the burden of improving these roads. It is as if somehow it was their fault that the Town has decreed their roads deficient. None of the other residents of the Town, which is now more than 80 percent developed, paid any such assessment to have their roads built or improved. This is democracy as opposed to the rule of law. The landowners’ tiny fractional vote in this matter is virtually meaningless. The wolves just voted on whom to have for lunch.

that this is one and the same,” he said. Still, he said FMPC felt the monopine best suited the location. “It’s becoming the most common installation practice in the state of Tennessee, from a stealthing standpoint,” he said. Ledet said Mailen Tower would serve T-Mobile customers along Turkey Creek Road and east of Concord Road. “This specific location was targeted by T-Mobile as a critical area where they needed to expand their coverage capabilities,” he said. “As the wireless industry has
evolved and we have been forced to get closer and closer to residential neighborhoods … the most dominant concern has always been the aesthetics and the appearance of the structures,” he said. Ledet said Branch Communications was about 90 percent finished with the project as of Thursday May 26. He said workers were now cleaning up the access road, installing the fence to protect equipment and putting in any landscaping requirements around the facility.

sore,’” he said. He said some people might wonder where the giant tree came from since it stands above the tree line. He said other people might have preferred a traditional monopole. “As you drive down highways and interstates, your eyes become accustomed to utility poles and tall freestanding light pole structures. I mean, there are light pole standards in this Town that are as tall as this structure … We within the wireless industry world feel
But we do not live in a democracy, and the Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly on this matter. “Impact Fees,” the disparate and discriminatory imposition of “fees” on certain classes or groups of citizens is illegal, immoral, unjust and wrong. And while the promoters of this shortsighted, wrongheaded form of taxation keep tweaking and adjusting the concept to evade the courts, it will always be wrong. Furthermore, their own figures indicate that it will take more than 30 years by this method to only pay for less than 25 percent of the cost of the roads in question … if ever. Meanwhile since the Town began attempting imposition of the burden of road improvements direct-
ly onto development, lot development has slowed to a crawl, with almost no new development on the corridors in question. The three developments underway back when this was implemented: Lantern Park on Everette Road, Baldwin Park on Boring Road and The Farm at Willow Creek on Evans Road all went bankrupt. So what is the Town to do, when one of its founding principles was better and safer roads? What is it to do when it is striving to overcome a very negative image in the business, real estate, development and construction communities? What is it to do when it is no longer the only ball game in Town and many storefronts on our main corridors are shuttered and empty? What is it to do when deep South Knox County, Hardin Valley and even Lenoir City are outstripping our growth and progress? What is it to do when it is set to lose a significant share of revenue due to the demise of the Hall Income Tax? Certainly the last thing this town needs to do is to introduce a retrograde, illicit tax such as “Impact Fees” to further drive away progress from Town. Instead, what we need to do is lead. With the talent and wisdom this Town possesses we need to show the rest of the county, state and nation a responsible way forward. If we want to show businesses that we are indeed friendly and ensure the Town’s tax base for years to come, if we want to fill up the empty storefronts, if we want to raise property values for every homeowner in our Town, if we want to have the best and safest roads in the region, and if we want to raise the value of the last devel-
opable land in Town to command the highest prices and ensure quality development, the answer is simple. First, instead of chasing them away, we need to embrace the development community that brought us all the fine homes and stores that we love. Who knows better how to build roads and infrastructure than they? Let’s commit to raising the funds to build the roads, then let them develop the property when the owners are ready to sell and let them contract to get the roads built. This gives them economies of scale and a stronger negotiating posture with their subcontractors and takes the burden off the Town. We pay them to get it done for us and everybody wins. Meanwhile, let’s work hard to promote Farragut as the retail, dining and hospitality Mecca for the region by harnessing the Interstates flowing through Town in new and creative ways. Let’s find ways to attract high-volume, big-ticket retailers to our Interstate frontage on Outlet Drive and help them succeed. And by providing value to these businesses, let’s generate revenues to pay for our desired improvements from those passing through, not on the backs of our citizens. What about an Aubrey’s with Interstate frontage? A new Lowe’s or Christmas Lumber location to sell all the building materials for the new homes and businesses we will attract? A motorcycle and RV dealer, etc? Let’s put a few sheep dogs in the mix with the lambs and wolves and keep Farragut the shining star we all know it can be.

TDS alerts mobile users ■

Farragut Android mobile device users now can get an app that alerts them to malware on their devices. “Worldwide 23 million mobile devices are infected with malicious software known as malware,” Cindy Tomlinson, TDS associate manager of public relations, said. Malware is used to disrupt computer operations, gather critical user data, and display unwanted advertising. To help combat that threat, Tomlinson said TDS Telecommunications Corp. has launched Hacker Alert for Android devices, which is located on TDS’s network. It continually analyzes customers’ mobile device web traffic for security threats. “If Hacker Alert finds something, customers will receive an alert on their mobile device, along with suggested steps for removal,” Tomlinson said. Casey Thompson, TDS product development manager, said Hacker Alert is available to TDS customers across the country, including its Farragut customers. “Currently, it can be installed on any Android device,” she said. “First though, customers need to subscribe to TDS Hacker Alert and have TDS high-speed Internet service.” There are two ways customers can access TDS Hacker Alert. One way is for TDS customers who already have the alert on their home computers and network to go to “Google Play Store” on their Android device, search for the “TDS Hacker Alert” app and install it. There would be no additional fee to install the app, she said. The other way is customers
who have TDS high-speed Internet service but are not subscribing to TDS Hacker alert to call 866-734-0704 and sign up. Customers then can visit “Google Play Store” to install the app. They will pay a $3.95per-month service fee. They could get reduced service charge by bundling the service with other services, Thompson said. “Protecting your home network and critical data no longer is about just guarding your PC,” Thompson said. “Now, criminals can gain access to all your devices, using malware they place on your cell phone. You need multiple layers of security, which Hacker Alert provides.” Previously, Hacker Alert only was available to protect home networks of TDS customers, but now it is available for Android

Lawhorn IV, 14, said. “It’s something we need to do more to respect the veterans who served.” “I’m excited about honoring the veterans,” Brownie Sydnee Lawhorn, 8, said. “I think it’s good for them,” Troop leader Samuel Lawhorn Jr. said. “I think kids in the world ought to be doing things like this.

Farragut Lions Club holds annual Hole-In-One Shoot Out ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Golfers can try their luck at getting a hole in one and benefit Farragut Lions Club by participating in Farragut Lions Club Third Annual Hole-In-One Shoot Out. This year’s shoot-out is slated for two weekends, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, June 18, and from 2 to 6 p.m., Sunday, June 19, then from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, June 25, and from 2 to 6 p.m., Sunday, June 26, in the field adjacent to farragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike. The shoot out is open to the public, and the objective is for participants to finish in the top three each day, driving the ball closest to the pin roughly 150 yards away. Each participant can purchase three balls for $5, and
there will be daily prizes for those closest to the pin. “We will take three qualifiers from each of the four days,” Wayne Stormer, Farragut Lions Club first vice president, said. “The 12 closest to the pin will qualify for the finals, which will take place Thursday, Aug. 4, at Willow Creek Golf Course.” The prize for winning the finals is a 2016 Smart Car from Mercedes-Benz, he said. The shoot out, which usually raises $2,000, is a fundraiser for the Lions Club, to help fund vision and diabetes programs it provides in the local community. “We get a fair amount of supporters,” Stormer said. “We would like to get $2,500 [this year].” Farragut Lions Club is a part of Lions Club International, which provides humanitarian services worldwide.
“We provide a wide range of vision-related programs,” he said. Those services include vision testing, Remote Area Medical, eyeglasses for those who cannot afford them through a vision assistance program and leader dogs through Lions Club International. Farragut Lions Club was started in 1973 as Concord Lions Club and changed its name in 1980 when Farragut became a town. It held a hole-in-one event in the 1970s and two years ago club members decided to bring back the event, Stormer said. “We thought it would be a good idea to resurrect something the club did in the 1970s,” he said. For more information about the fundraiser, call Stormer, 865-675-7207.

Lawn Chair Concert Series to begin
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut residents once again will be able to enjoy a day in the park complete with music. The Lawn Chair Concert Series, presented by MamaJam Productions, will begin with a concert starting at 6 p.m., Friday, June 10, in Founders Park at Campbell Station off North Campbell Station Road, Farragut. Performances by Adeem the Artist, Carolina Story and Guy Marshall will kick off the season. “We have new artists and a few minor logistical improvements but aside from that, ‘if it's not broke, don't fix it.’” Shandy Dixon, MamaJam Productions and event organizer, said. The event is free and open to the
public. While people are welcome to bring a picnic, there will be food truck vendors from Good Golly Tamale and Holy Smokin’ BBQ Attendees will enjoy being together in a beautiful town, listening to beautiful music with family, friends and neighbors,” Dixon said. “This creates a sense of togetherness in our community, as it also welcomes folks in from other areas of Knoxville who may not typically make their way this far west,” Dixon said. On average, each of the concerts has drawn about 300 attendees. “Last season was very successful,” she said. “The positive response from the community and the artists is how we measure the success. “Folks were asking us to do more shows and continue into fall, so we
knew it was worth bringing back. “The fact that we were able to be back this year must be credited to our sponsors though. “We have the best sponsors. Each of them has an understanding of the ambience of this series, a willingness to allow the beauty of the park to be the star and wants to be part of something cool.” She said the bands have also made the concerts possible. “I guess as long as we have the community, the sponsors and the bands we will keep this show going,” Dixon said. The event started last year when Dixon and friend, Amy Boling partnered to organize the series. “Our time and work toward putting Lawn Chair- series together is

Little gin just might improve your marriage It's worth a try. You were probably thinking, when you read the title of column this week, that I was writing about drinking gin. I’m not going to go there today. Instead, this is about the Pam card game Young called Gin Make it Rummy. OK, I’m Fun! no marriage counselor so I probably shouldn’t be going ar-ound giving advice to married couples, especially since I’m on my second marriage and so is my husband, but the idea of letting a little gin improve your marriage is really a good one, at least for Terry and me and I thought I’d share with you why it is. You probably should know Terry is a workaholic because that’s one of the reasons I came up with this idea in the first place. He’s never without his cell phone or IPAD and he looks at weekends as catch-up days to finish all the work he didn’t accomplish during the week because of overbooking. It seems when each day comes to an end, his “to do” list is longer because for every task he crosses off, he adds a couple more jobs. I realized early on in our marriage (which is on its 28th year) if I were going to get any attention from him, I’d have to get on his “to do” list or at least find a way to sneak into his daily routine. That’s where the gin comes in. It’s such a fun, easy card game that doesn’t require a mind that can count cards in order to win. I think I introduced the cards on a weekend
in an effort to get him into a playful mood. Workaholics don’t think about playing unless it’s on a list. We were meant to play and be lighthearted and when it's absent, we can get dreary. What happens when we play cards is magic? First of all there’s competition (we play
four hands every day except Sunday, when we play six hands), and we keep a running score through the week with a winner on Sunday. Second, while we’re playing, we tend to talk about light-

hearted issues, such as what I did to him on April Fool's day. I’d put a 12-inch length of string in his scrambled eggs as a joke. It was almost a joke on me because I honestly thought he was going to swallow it. So on that particular morning this was the card-playing conversation. “Gad I wasn’t sure your tongue was gonna find the string when you were eatin’ your eggs and I started to get scared you were gonna swallow it.” “And if I had?” “Well, it wouldn’t hurt you, I’d just have to think up another joke. Whad’ya think when your
tongue found it?” “Well I wasn’t thinking today was April Fool’s Day, but when I pulled it out of my mouth and you started giggling I knew you got me!” Just a little aside, I don’t think guys like tricks played on them, so maybe if you’re having marital problems you might want to consider not making a fool out of your spouse just because it’s a day to celebrate fools.

Town hosts Turkey Creek Litter Treasure Hunt
■
BEN POUNDS bpounds@farragutpress.com
Volunteers can come on a treasure hunt for litter with town of Farragut Stormwater Matters Program. From 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday June 11, volunteers will walk in Little Turkey Creek or along its banks, hunting for various pieces of trash. In the past volunteers have found flat screen TVs, carpets, car frames, baseballs and hubcaps. “Litter comes in many forms, from plastic bottles, cans, paper, automotive parts sometimes, bicycles, couches. from the very small to the very large, and those can all have a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem,” Lori Saal, Farragut Stormwater coordinator, said. “We’re doing this to remove those items so we can help the aquatic ecosystem thrive to its fullest and hopefully provide some restoration back to our stream.” The Stormwater Matters program is piloting a project called “One Year Down the Drain: Turkey Creek.” As part of that project, the Town aims to conduct a stream cleanup each month for a year, including this year. Waste collected from cleanups will be displayed at the Town's Outdoor Classroom as an educational art exhibit. The minimum age for children participating with adults is 10. The minimum age for people attending without a parent or guardian is 16. Volunteers will meet in the south parking lot at Founders Park at Campbell Station, located at 405 North Campbell Station Road. People interested in the June 11 event can sign up at volunteerknoxville.org. Saal said she prefers attendees sign up, but they can participate even if they have not previously registered. Waders, trash pickers, trash
bags, safety vests and gloves will be available for the volunteers. While supplies may be limited, the number of volunteers who can come are not. “The more the merrier,” Saal said. The number of waders is not an issue because not all volunteers will need to get in the water. Saal said they also can find trash on the stream banks. Water will be provided for volunteers. They are advised to dress in outdoor clothing, including shoes that can muddy.
Volunteers will receive a safety presentation at the beginning and they should be mindful of typical outdoor hazards, such as bees. “Sometimes people are reluctant to get involved with it at first, but once they’ve experienced a stream cleanup, they learn a lot from the experience and they actually enjoy it,” Saal said. For more information, contact Saal at lsaal@townoffarragut.org or 865-966-7057.

dent, said. “I think it’s an honor we recognize our veterans.” The honor was made possible after they researched and identified some of its veterans. “We’ve been talking about doing this for a year or more and the troop was anxious to help, but we didn’t have the information,” Karnitz said. “We knew some of the veterans because of their plaques, so we had to research.” Some of the tombstones were hard to read, and many were not marked as having served in the military, he said. Board members not only identified veterans but also placed plaques on graves and erected a new flagpole. They enlisted the help of Bobby Herwig, who created a website for the cemetery, Karnitz said. Efforts to identify veterans in the cemetery continue, as there still are veterans’ graves to be
identified. “We would like some help from the families in this area to find veterans in the cemetery,” Karnitz said. They had another veteran identified when Bobby and Retta Newcomb arrived at the cemetery to place flowers on the grave of Bobby’s father, Lloyd Newcomb, a World War II veterans who was captured in France by Germans in 1944. “This [honor] really touches my heart,” Retta said. Pleasant Forest cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in
Knox County, Shell said. Its history goes back to 1790. It was established after David Campbell donated the land for a church and a school. Shell said the cemetery was there before the church. Some of those buried in the cemetery include Archi-bald Roane, second governor of Tennessee; Elder David Campbell and descendants; Lt. Thomas Boyd, a Revolutionary War veteran who served with George Washington at Valley Forge in 1777; and four Civil War veterans — three Union and one Confederate.

Girl Scouts Troop 20316 members earn Silver Award Girl Scout Troop 20316 of Farragut Middle School has earned its Silver Award, the second highest award in Girl Scouts. Girls chose to help Family Promise Shelter of Knoxville for their project, Corinne Castor, Troop 20316 leader, said. They broke into two groups and worked on two separate issues. One group addressed the shelter’s temperature issue that arose because the building had no window coverings. Girls altered and sewed curtains, added tie backs to them and put up curtain rods for all 13 windows. “This will help with the utility bills and make it more comfort-
able for the families who are staying there,” Castor said. The second group addressed safety concerns for a toddler play area. The girls built an additional wall to keep the toddlers from crawling up and over an existing wall in the play area and made a new gate. They added chalkboards and place to hang art work. They also added windows to the wall to give it a playhouse feel. Both groups made two flower boxes to put on each side of the gate they made for the toddler enclosure. During the holiday season troop members also planned and made a dinner for the families at the shelter, Castor said.

Farragut makes early exit from state tourney ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
MURFREESBORO — Despite struggling throughout much of the postseason, Farragut High School baseball managed to win and make its ninth consecutive trip to the Class AAA State Tournament. The Admirals, however, had a short stay at the Spring Fling. Farragut lost two of its three games at Oakland High School. The Admirals finished the 2016
campaign with a 38-8 record despite a pair of injuries to its pitching staff. “You talk about pitching depth and we Admirals 2 had a couple of Tigers 5 guys get hurt and that probably hurt us a little,” Farragut coach Matt Buckner said. “But we went 38-8. We won a lot of ballgames. “We won 38 games and that’s more than anybody else in the
state, so really, it wasn’t that bad.” Farragut won the District 4AAA regular-season title but finished second in the postseason tournament to 2015 Class AAA State Champion Hardin Valley Academy (which beat the Admirals in Murfreesboro last year to win it all). Farragut used a three-run first inning to beat District 3-AAA Champ Karns 3-0 to make it to the Region 2-AAA Championship game. There, the Admirals had to come from
behind to win 6-5 after falling behind the Panthers 5-0. Farragut then routed Morristown East 13-0 to punch its ticket to the Midstate. “We didn’t play very well, save for a couple of games, late in the year and I’ll take the blame for that,” Buckner said. “That’s on me. “It wasn’t hitting or pitching or anything like that. We just weren’t playing our best baseball during the last three weeks. We have to do a better job getting them ready
to play.” Farragut opened its most recent stay in Murfreesboro with a 5-2 loss to Arlington. There, the Admirals faced Tigers ace Hayden Edwards, who entered Middle Tennessee with an 11-0 record and Farragut couldn’t find a way to solve him. Duncan Pence had a solo home run and scored the Admirals’ other run after he was See FARRAGUT on Page 10B

MURFREESBORO — A late offensive eruption was enough to net Bearden High School boys soccer team the Class AAA State Championship Friday afternoon. After falling behind 2-1, the Bulldogs scored four unanswered goals to Bulldogs 5 notch a 5-2 comeback Ravenwood 2 win over Ravenwood before a boisterous crowd at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro. The championship was Bearden’s first since 2006 and culminated Bearden’s first trip to the Spring Fling since 2012. “What can you say about these boys?” Bearden coach Ryan Radcliffe said. “They wanted this state championship.” Radcliffe played on Bearden’s last state championship team and was emotional after the final victory of the season. “This is a fantastic group of boys,” he said. “I told them that I wanted them to beat me and set a new precedent. “I told this group, I want you all to beat me and be one of the greatest teams in Bearden history.” BHS wrote that final chapter Friday but it all started back in February. “This is a dream come true,” said Alvarez, who closed out his high school career with a hat trick against the Raptors. “This was a
great team effort for us. It takes 11 to win. “I’m just thankful for my family, my teammates and my coaches. We knew that we had the heart to win this. If you ask me, heart beats talent 10 times out of 10.” The Bulldogs won the District 4AAA regular-season title before going on to capture the tournament championship. Bearden then went on to win the Region 2AAA tournament with a 4-1 victory over Oak Ridge. It was tested one more time in the state sectional where it prevailed 2-0 against Sevier County. Upon arriving in Murfreesboro, the Bulldogs breezed past Collierville in the quarterfinals 30. Bearden (23-3) got goals from three of its senior forwards. Gabe Alvarez scored the first off an assist from Will Lewis while Kelvin Garcia and Spencer Smiley added unassisted markers. That would prove to be the last easy task for the Bulldogs in the Midstate. Bearden culminated its stay by hoisting the Class AAA Championship plaque, but the Bulldogs had to work extremely hard to earn that hardware. The Bulldogs fell behind the Raptors (12-4-3) early Friday when senior forward Jake Hill converted a short free kick just 1 minute, 9 seconds into the match. Bearden would answer when Alvarez took a pass from Kelvin Garcia and bang it past See BULLDOGS on Page 9B

MURFREESBORO — Several area athletes competed in the Class AAA State Track and Field Championships last week at Middle Tennessee State University and it was the Bearden High School boys that came home with a fourth-place finish. “I was very excited with the way our boys performed,” Bulldogs coach Patty TracyThewes said. Bearden, which recently won the 2016 Knoxville Interscholastic League Championship, was the only Knox County team
to post a top-10 finish and did so despite not having any qualifiers for the running events. “That was pretty big for us,” Tracy-Thewes said. “We have some up-and-coming runners and we’re looking for some of those kids to qualify for the state next year. “I’m very excited for both our boys and girls teams. I’m excited for the future of our programs because we have young teams. We only lose seven athletes from the 87 that we have in our programs. Freshmen and sophomores make up the majority of our teams.” Bearden got its stay off to a big start when junior Jacob Sabota
took second in the decathlon. The two-day competition began Monday, May 23. “I’m very excited for Jacob,” Tracy-Thewes said. “When he came to Bearden High School, he sort of came in under the radar.” He certainly isn’t under the radar anymore. In the decathlon, Sabota won the pole vault and took second in the discus. He posted fourth-place finishes in the 100-meter dash, the 110meter hurdles and the long jump. He was third in the high jump and the triple jump. He took second in the 400-meter dash. He See TRACK on Page 10B

HARDIN VALLEY — Hardin Valley Academy didn’t have to go far to find its new boys basketball coach. The school recently promoted longtime assistant Shane Chambers to the head coaching post. Chambers, 30, replaces his mentor, Keith Galloway, who resigned early last month to spend more time with his family. The new coach becomes Hardin Valley’s second head boys basketball coach. Galloway was the Hawks first head coach. He and his wife, Jennifer, both came to
Hardin Valley when the school opened in 2008. Jennifer remains the school’s girls basketball coach. Chambers is no stranger to Hardin Valley student-athletes. He serves as the Hawks golf coach and has worked alongside Keith Galloway since the program’s inception. “That’s an advantage,” Chambers said of his time at the school and in the boys basketball program. “I worked for eight years under Keith and I’ve learned a lot from him.” Chambers graduated from Jefferson County High School where he played for current See CHAMBERS on Page 10B

Bearden duo captures state doubles title ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
MURFREESBORO — When Bearden High School seniors Griffin Davis and Charlie Adams received their medals for winning the Class AAA State Doubles Tennis Championship, it was a culmination of a four-year quest. The duo lost the championship match as freshmen in 2013 and didn’t make it back to the Midstate until last week. They lost in the Region 2-AAA Title match to West High’s Matthew Maynard and Aubrey Davis as sophomores and they didn’t play together as juniors. The Bulldogs duo avenged that regional loss and went to Old Fort Park with hopes of winning a championship. Griffin Davis and Adams won their title when they defeated
Bulldogs From page 8B
Ravenwood goalkeeper Jack Hyatt in the 15th minute to knot the game 1-1. The Raptors regained the lead when Greyson Heatherington tallied an unassisted marker in the 29th minute. That gave Ravenwood the 2-1 advantage that it enjoyed at halftime. Alvarez said that the Bulldogs didn’t panic despite trailing for much of the first half. “We just needed to respond well,” he said. They did. Lewis knotted the game 2-2 when he banged in a rebound that ricocheted off a Raptors defender in the 44th minute. “They came out strong,” Lewis said of the Raptors. “But we stuck together and we were able to come out on top. We have three outstanding senior forwards and we couldn’t have done this without them. We couldn’t have done it without each other. “Today, we showed how strong of a bond that we have.” Bearden took its first lead of the match when Alvarez scored in the 62nd minute. From there, the Bulldogs weren’t tested again. Bearden outshot the Raptors 10-1 over the final 40 minutes. The Bulldogs also got stellar effort from defender Lucas
Tennessee High School’s and Jacob Marshall 6-4, 6-2 Friday after cruising to victories in both the quarterfinals and semifinals. “It was great to see them win the championship and go out on top,” Bearden coach Tyler Lane said. “They worked hard for this and they really earned it. “We were really excited for them because we had a strong district and it was great for them just to get out.” The tennis competition in District 4-AAA was so stiff in 2016 that all of the regional spots were occupied by Bearden, Farragut, Hardin Valley Academy or West High. “We had great tennis in our district this season,” Lane said. “Our senior class has left a big legacy at Bearden and we’ll truly miss them.” The Bulldogs enjoyed another big season in 2016. Adams and Davis
won the doubles title after knocking off their friends and rivals to make it out of Knox County. They opened their stay in Murfreesboro by defeating Germantown Houston’s tandem of Ben Leonard and Jonathan DeJesus 6-1, 6-0. In the semifinals, Davis and Adams dispatched Stephen Antic and Hayes Canupp 6-1, 6-0. In girls doubles, Bearden’s duo of Julia Adams and Brittany Foust (which reached the title match in 2015) was eliminated in the semifinals by Brentwood’s duo of Katie DeWald and Georgia Fischer 6-3, 7-5. DeWald and Fischer would go on to win the tournament. Adams and Foust won their quarterfinal match over Volunteer’s Makenna Peterson and Marlaina Peterson. Lane was pleased with his team’s effort in doubles despite the semifinal loss.
“Our kids played well,” he said. “They just ran into a better team. The Bulldogs girls won the Section 1-AAA Championship and qualified for the state tournament for the third consecutive season. Bearden, which reached the title match in each of the last two years, went down in the semifinals last week when it dropped a 4-0 decision to Brentwood, which would go on to win the state championship by sweeping Houston. Somer Henry started things by beating Julia Adams. Georgia Fischer downed Gabby Simsic. DeWald outlasted Foust and Maria Leone defeated Bearden’s Natalie Porter. Lane said that the semifinal loss was difficult but he commended his squad’s effort. “We were hoping this would be the year [to win the state championship], but we just ran into a
better team. Our kids played well. “But Brentwood is a great team and they’ll be good for a long time because they’re pretty young. We’re just looking to enjoy this and keep it going. We’re looking forward to next year.” Farragut had two players qualify for the State Singles Tournament in senior Gary Carter and junior Hannah Price. Carter, who was making his third consecutive appearance in Murfreesboro, was eliminated in the semifinals Brentwood’s Sam Fischer 7-5, 6-3. Fischer, a junior would win the tournament. Carter, the Admirals’ No. 1 singles player, eliminated Hendersonville’s Kato Richardson 6-1, 6-1. Price qualified for girls singles for the second straight year. She lost her quarterfinal match to Sineha Sinha of Collierville 6-3, 6-0.
Lavender, who blocked numerous Ravenwood shots. “Lucas did a great job in the back,” Radcliffe said. “He’s a converted forward and he’s really done well back there.” Kelvin Garcia put the game away when he made the score 4-2 in the 79th minute and Alvarez finished his hat trick a short time later. Senior captain Jameson Elmore dedicated the win to Linda Radcliffe (Ryan’s mother and a longtime pillar in both the boys and girls program), who is battling cancer. “Right now, I just want to dedicate this to Mama Rad,” Elmore said. “I have to credit the coaches. They told us just to stay calm and
have fun playing. “Coach Radcliffe is the perfect coach for this team.” Fellow senior Alex Garcia agreed. “It feels great to win this,” he said. “We came out and we played for Mama Rad. “This feels great now but I know that it will feel just as good in 20 years because I’ll have a big ring to remind me about all of this. I’m just happy to be a part of this.” Senior Jonathan Duffy, who also played football for the Bulldogs, was happy to win the ultimate prize. “I said coming into my senior year that I wanted a state championship in football or soccer and now I have one,” Duffy said. “I
decided that I wanted to win one four years ago when I came to high school.
“We had to work for this and it’s amazing just to get out of our district.”

Chambers From page 8B
Hawks boys basketball assistant Shane Chambers has been selected to be the new head coach of the Hardin Valley boys varsity team.
Patriots girls coach Rick Sinard and current Central High School golf coach Tony Patterson. “Coach Sinard and coach Patterson were my [basketball] coaches at Jefferson County,” Chambers said. “They were my mentors and I can always pick up the phone and call them. “Since I got the job, I’ve had plenty of calls from coaches in both the basketball and golf communities congratulating me.” Chambers is one of two new area basketball coaches who will take the floor next season. Bearden recently hired former Cherokee head coach Jeremy Parrott to replace the legendary Mark Blevins, who is now in Alabama. Chambers will have a new roster and he’ll look to put his stamp on the HVA program. “I’m just extremely grateful for this opportunity,” he said. “I’m grateful that [principal Sallee] Reynolds and [athletic director George] Ashe for giving me this opportunity. “Our style will be a little different because we’ll have a new ros-

The Hawks finished fourth in three relays. HVA posted a time of 9:44.56 in the 4x 800. Its time in the 4 x 200 was 1:42.97. In the 4x 100, the Hawks posted an effort of 48.83 seconds. Hardin Valley was seventh in the 4x 400 (4:06.50).

was eighth in the shot put and ninth in the 1,500-meter run. Rhea County’s Chase Shool won the decathlon with 6,568 points. Sabota compiled 6, 468. In the girls pentathlon, Hardin Valley Academy junior Bekah Hampton posted a seventh-place finish. Her top event was the shot put. There, she finished fifth. She was seventh in both the long jump and high jump. She took eighth in the 800meter run and ninth in the 100meter hurdles. Those efforts gave the Bearden boys and the Hawks girls some valuable points when the State Meet began later in the week. The HVA girls finished seventh in the final standings. In the boys competition, Bearden sophomore Josh Sabota (Jacob’s younger brother) took third place in both the shot put (51 feet, 4 ? inches) and the discus (152-03). Hardin Valley junior Tim Frizzell posted an eighth-place finish in the shot put with a mark of 46 feet. The Hawks scored in the 4x 100 relay with a seventh-place showing (3:25.67). HVA finished 34th with six team points. Bearden freshman Shawn Stacy took second in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet, 4 inches. In the girls competition, Farragut senior Destiny Carey took second in the shot put (44-

Dylan Pacifico, Farragut’s senior ace, took the loss while giving up three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. Arlington, which lost to Siegel in the title game, picked up two insurance runs when Hunter Goodman doubled in the top of the seventh off FHS reliever John Painter. The Admirals bounced back to nab a 7-3 victory over Ravenwood in an elimination game. In that game, Farragut scored a run in the top of the first The Raptors took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the frame.

ter. We have six seniors [from last season’s team] who are graduating.” Away from basketball and golf, Chambers enjoys following HVA’s other sports teams. “I’m never too far away to walk down and watch a baseball game,” he said. “I love being around Hardin Valley athletics and supporting Hardin Valley. I enjoy being at Hardin Valley Academy. “It sounds cliché to say, but this is home. I’ve been the golf coach here for seven years and I’ve been here since the school opened. I volunteered on Keith’s staff during that first year.” Chambers first worked as a graduate school intern before coaching the Hawks freshman team. He’s coached HVA’s junior varsity team over the last five seasons. Chambers graduated from The University of Tennessee. He’s a Florida State football fan and an avid supporter of Big Orange basketball.
