Celebrating silver farragutpress impact felt during its first 25 years in Farragut ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Like best buddies growing up together whose relationship has been a mutual benefit and joy, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce salutes it’s slightly younger partner, farragutpress, on it’s 25th anniversary this month. “They have always been very supportive of the Chamber for the entire time that I’ve been here. At networkings and special events. And they’ve helped me grow,” said Bettye Sisco, FWKCC president/CEO since 2001. Business leaders, coaches, politicians and top officials from Republic Newspaper, Inc., (parent company of farragutpress) detail the newspaper’s benefiical impact for a quarter-century. That impact began building when the first issue of what became Farragut’s first-ever community newsaper, then called Farragut Press Enterprise, hit the streets Sept. 13, 1988. Tony Cox, RNI president and chief manager of Horne Radio, LLC — who started at the paper as a carrier in 1990 — said a community newspaper’s role “is much different than that of a regional newspaper. The farragutpress’ focus remains con-
stant on covering Farragut — schools, sporting events, people, business, and government — and providing information that, for the most part, can only be found in the farragutpress. “I will always remember Matthew LeSage’s name,” Cox added about a young boy in the early 2000s whose concern for the less fortunate, and what Matthew did about it, was detailed in several farragutpress Cox stories. “I believe he was a third-grade student at Farragut Intermediate School when he started ‘Hams for the Hungry’ campaign to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. “He wanted to raise money to purchase hams and dinner fixings for needy families at Easter. His campaign continued for many years. In 2002 he was recognized by state Senate Joint Resolution 578 filed by Sen. Randy McNally for the ‘Hams for the Hungry’ campaign and the good works that it had accomplished.” Jerry Whitehead is owner of Gables & Gates, Realtors, 11800
Kingston Pike. “Our neighborhood relationship with the farragutpress has been an ongoing part of our continuing success,” Whitehead said. “We were founded in the town of Farragut and the farragutpress has always been a significant source of reaching buyers and sellers to market our wonderful area. “Congratulation on your 25th anniversary from all of our staff and associates,” he added. “We look forward to working with you for the next 25 years.” David Purvis is co-owner of Farragut Wine & Spirits with his wife, Robin, at 11238 Kingston Pike. “What we like about it is, one, it hits our core target market because the paper has articles and information about our community, meaning Farragut and the surrounding areas, that probably wouldn’t be covered otherwise,” David said. “So that draws the local readership to the newspaper, and, in turn, makes our advertising have that much more bang.” Eun’s Martial Arts Center, 11100 Kingston Pike in Aspen Square, is a Farragut business that grew up alongside farragutpress — also born in 1988. “Farragutpress has helped our business a lot. … I get a lot of phone calls from ads in the newspaper,” said Master Seong J.
Farragut Press Enterprise was introduced to people in the Farragut area Sept. 13, 1988. The newspaper name was later shortened to farragutpress.

Power outage shortens school day at FIS, FMS

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Students from Farragut Intermediate and Middle schools were dismissed early Monday morning because of power problems. Parents were notified about the problem via e-mail, Twitter an other social media beginning about 9:45 a.m. Monday. “It’s an LCUB issue,” said Melissa Ogden, director of public affairs for Knox County Schools. “Due to unforeseen power issues that will require an extended amount of time for Lenoir City Utilities Board to repair, Farragut Middle School will dismiss at 10:30 a.m., and Farragut Intermediate School will dismiss 11:15 a.m.,” Ogden announced in an e-mail.
“We don’t have ovens. We won’t have lunch,” said Caitlyn Jones, an FIS student. “We don’t have air conditioning.” “Apparently, we have a fault in some underground cables,” said Matthew Fagiana, safety and risk director with LCUB. “We are trying to locate exactly where. It could be a little while [before the problem is corrected]. “We have two crews working,” Fagiana added. Meanwhile, buses and cars lined the drive to the schools to pick up students. Ogden said buses began operating 10:30 a.m. at FMS and 11:15 a.m. at FIS. “While bus service is available during this early dismissal, parents are also welcome to pick up their child at any time this morning,” Ogden said Monday.

While traffic builds up as parents react to school letting out early due to a morning power outage affecting Farragut Middle and Intermediate schools Monday, Sept. 9, FMS and FIS students head down West End Avenue to waiting parents. Vehicle traffic in the background flows in and out of the schools’ carpool pickup area.
Hobert Neeley, grandfather of Caitlyn Jones, said the dismissal was “a mob right now” but added, “On a real emergency, I’m
sure it would work smoothly.” “It’s a madhouse, but they have it very well-organized. They are trying to get everyone home
safely,” said Stacy McLemone, who was picking up her daughter, Maddie, from Farragut Intermediate.

Slater slotted for Farragut AmeriCorps post policereports

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Gwen Slater started with the town of Farragut as a water quality technician in September. A Town press release states, “The town of Farragut is entering its third year as a participant in the AmeriCorps national service program. ... Gwen Slater, a University of Florida graduate who comes to Farragut from West Palm Beach, Fla., is the third member of the Town’s AmeriCorps Water Quality Assistant Program.” Slater, 22, completed roughly a month of training with AmeriCorps, beginning Aug. 7, and started her job with the Town Sept. 4. “I am working in the Stormwater Matters Program,” she said. “Essentially what I’ll be doing is I will be monitoring stream health. ... A big part of my job is education and outreach. I want to get the community involved in our Outdoor Classroom and our different events, such as Earthfest and River Rescue. I want to help reach out to the community because it’s important to realize just how much water impacts everyday life.” She graduated from UF in May 2012. “I majored in anthropology
with a focus on biological anthropology, and I minored in classical studies,” she said. Slater will work for the Town until June. She said she started looking at AmeriCorps last year. “After I had graduSlater ated from college, I took a year off to decide what I wanted to do,” she said. “Because I do intend to go to graduate school, but as I was trying to fill out a couple of my graduate applications, I realized I didn’t really have a real scope or exact idea of what I wanted to pursue. I knew my interests, but I wasn’t quite sure where to go. I heard from an alumnus of the program, of the AmeriCorps program, the benefits of AmeriCorps and a lot of it, if I wanted to get out there and get to know the community and to gain some experience and maybe some insight in where I wanted to go, AmeriCorps would be a good option.” Slater was born in Denver, Colo., she said. Previously she has lived in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and lived in Florida since middle school. “After the year is over, I do
plan to apply for graduate school in environmental anthropology,” she said. “I am currently looking at different programs.”

FMPC nixes accessory structure apartments
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Farragut’s Municipal Planning Commission discussed a Farragut Zoning Ordinance amendment at its meeting Thursday, Aug. 15. Within single-family residentially zoned neighborhoods, the amendment would have allowed accessory structure apartments. The commission agreed by consensus not to pursue the concept any further. “So in doing some research on accessory dwelling units, the literature recommended that before an ADU, as they’re called, ordinance is enacted, the community should do an assessment of needs as to whether this is something this community needs,” then Community Development director Ruth Hawk
said. “And there were four questions that were posed about what determines the need for an accessory dwelling unit. The first one was are there many legal non-conforming or illegal ADUs in Farragut? The second question, is there unfulfilled demand for rental housing? The third question, have citizens sought information or permits on constructing mother-in-law or additional housing for extended family? And the fourth one, does Farragut provide affordable housing options?” “... We’re not aware of any illegal accessory dwelling units in Town,” Hawk said. “We have not had citizens’ requests for accessory dwelling units. Is there an unfulfilled demand for rental housing? That one’s kind of a tough one since we don’t do a lot of that type of economic analy-
sis.” She researched other places regarding the issue. “When I looked up accessory dwelling unit apartments ordinances, most of them are enacted in areas that have high land values, neighborhoods that are close to transit facilities, neighborhoods that are close to downtown, rural areas that need to accommodate employees,” she said. Hawk was not sure what the next step should be after the discussion on the topic at the July meeting. “At the last meeting, I definitely got the impression that nobody wanted this in existing neighborhoods because of the unintended consequences but also what people’s expectations are when they buy into a neighborhood,” she said.

Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill pointed out how “the greater area here is served by Knoxville News Sentinel. And that’s fine for what they do, but they really don’t do that much as it relates to our community in terms of reporting. They don’t do the human interest kinds of stories that a local paper would do. “It’s great to have even a weekly paper in Town,” he added. Nick Drewry is former RNI president who Doug Horne, RNI owner, hired to start the paper as its first publisher in 1988. “I think the impact the farragutpress has had on the Drewry Town is pretty clear from just reading the paper itself,” Drewry said. “Farragut was 8 years old when the newspaper was created. Fairly new Town, brand new newspaper. “Over the next 25 years, the newspaper has informed the citizens of Farragut on almost every issue that has come up: town government, schools, roads, parks, etc.” Horne, who also owns Horne Properties, Inc., and Horne Radio, LLC, expressed his satisfaction with the paper’s recent years performance. “ M a n y p e o p l e think, and I think, we’re the best suburban, city community newspaper in the state,” Horne said. Horne “Then I get a lot of compliments from the state press people about our fine newspaper.” Donald Dodgen, former Farragut High School varsity basketball head coach (1996-2010), said various farragutpress reporters he’s dealt with “would listen to us, and you guys wrote it as sportswriters, not trying to help us coach. “You guys were great for the students up here and the school up here, the publicity that you gave us was great, win or lose,” added Dodgen, currently assistant athletic director and physical education and wellness department chairman at FHS. “You guys have always been gracious to us. Any time we’ve called and asked for any type of help from the media, you guys are always the first one there. It’s a great relationship between us up
here and the Farragut paper.” Eddie Courtney, varsity football head coach at FHS since 1996 who has been an Admirals coach since 1976, said farragutpress coverage “has been a very positive thing for our kids, that’s where they get recognition.” As a result, “Hopefully they realize people care about what they’re doing. All the extra time they spend in sports, including the practice stuff,” Courtney added. “And when they get a chance to perform, they’re recognized for a good performance. It’s been a process that’s grown through the years.” As for feedback from readers, Drewry said, “I have many neighbors and friends who speak to me about things they have read in the paper. Whenever there is a Town election, or a controversy in Town, the farragutpress editorial page is filled with letters to the editor and presstalk statements, both for and against people and issues. The impact the paper has on the community is easiest to see right there. “The pages are filled with local adult and children’s pictures, at school, work or play,” Drewry added. “I can’t count the number of times over the last 25 years when someone has said to me, ‘My child’s picture was in the newspaper.’” Horne saluted what he labeled as “dedicated, loyal staff members. Many people have been there for years. “We have many people that have been in Farragut, that have moved away, they get our newspaper, they get our articles, they check the Internet for our articles,” Horne added. Cox took a close look at “impact.” “Perhaps it’s not so much that the newspaper has made an impact on the community. Maybe it would be better stated that the farragutpress has made public the stories of people doing things that impact our community,” he said. Another bonus, Horne said, is that farragutpress “is free distribution primarily.” Looking back to the late 1980s, “Our family thought, and I thought it would be a good idea to start a local community newspaper,” Horne said. “And Nick Drewry talked about it and most people thought it wouldn’t work. … ‘There was no need for a community paper for the little Farragut community,’” they said. “That there was no way that we could make it work and make a profit,” he added. Drewry said Horne “was dedicated to the idea that Farragut needed its own newspaper. It might have been hard and costly in the early days, but Doug stuck with it. “And now I think the Town and newspaper are a good team, and

probably will be for many years to come,” Drewry added. Not long after the Town’s first ever community newspaper became a reality 25 years ago, Horne expanded. “We bought the West Side Story that was a little community paper that served the Bearden area primarily,” Horne said. “Then we started having a Farragut Press and a Bearden Press.” However, “That didn’t work,” Horne said of a rough stretch in the 1990s. “We struggled for probably seven or eight years.” Horne pinpointed the turnaround, which coincided with a new look and a sharper focus on Farragut coverage, starting in April 2002 when the paper was renamed farragutpress. “We decided that we would just primarily focus on Farragut business and the schools and the churches, and report everything the city of Farragut did,” Horne said.
Knox County Schools look to profit off logos ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Will the Farragut High School star logo, highlighting the football team’s helmet that is an exact replica of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, hold up under trademark protection considerations? “Our company that monitors that, that actually takes care of the licensing for us, is checking with the Cowboys to make sure we can use that, or if we need to make some slight modification. … Do we need to get a limiteduse-rights” agreement? said Scott Bacon, Knox County Schools supervisor of business partnerships. “As far as I know, the star’s still good for us to use at this point.”
With KCS having licensed its schools merchandise to end years of local retail sales without KCS or those schools receiving a percentage, “We wanted to make sure our logos are clean and not owned by someone else,” Bacon said of a two-year effort by KCS. “It’s taking some time to work through that process. We had to have some redrawn.” One possible advantage for Farragut’s “Dallas” logo — in addition to Gibbs High School’s “G” logo that exactly resembles the Green Bay Packers’ “G,” which the Packers own according to Bacon — is because “colleges tend to guard those trademark logos more aggressively See LOGOS on Page 4A

letterstotheeditor In support of Ruth Hawk I was disappointed to hear that Ruth Hawk was removed by the town of Farragut. I have always felt that she held the interests of the Town’s residents above those who wanted to make fast, easy money at the expense of the Town’s quality of life. Farragut was founded as a bedroom community where businesses were expected to meet high standards to provide an attractive, desirable community for those who live here. That’s one of the reason’s I liked living here.
However, with the strange removal of Ms. Hawk I’m concerned that current administration is changing the rules to favor developers at the expense residents. If so, it may be time to change administration. D. Benker Farragut Texting while driving August is a bittersweet month for teens, signaling the end of lazy summers spent by the pool and evenings free of homework. But it also offers a fresh start. In just a matter of days, our children will feel the excitement that comes with beginning a
presstalk
new school year. The back-toschool season brims with opportunity: new friends, clothes and school supplies, as well as many new experiences. One of the most anticipated experiences is driving to school for the first time — which often causes anxiety for parents. Cautioning your teen driver about roadway safety is crucial. For nearly 20 years, August has been the most deadly month for American drivers, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The roads become more congested as vacationers head back to work and
students begin a new school year. It’s more important than ever that we educate our young students about safe driving. Teen drivers are at the greatest risk due to inexperience. In fact, young drivers are four times more likely to get in car accidents than adults. Add to this the fact that almost 50 percent of young drivers admit to sending text messages and emails while behind the wheel, and it’s a recipe for disaster. Distracted drivers are 23 times more likely to be involved in a car accident. In 4.6 seconds, the average amount of
time it takes to send a text, a car going 55 miles per hour travels the length of a football field. So start the new school year off right and have your child read and sign the It Can Wait pledge, a national campaign supported by several large wireless carriers asking drivers to abstain from using distracting technology while driving. The most important lesson we need to teach our teens and all drivers about texting and driving is simply that it can wait. Ending the epidemic of distracted driving starts with each one of us.

• Homeowners beware. With the [departure] of Ruth Hawk the Farragut Board and Town administrators have sent its strongest signal yet that it’s willing to bend Town rules and regulations in the misguided attempt to make Farragut a socalled “business friendly community.” What these amateurs don’t realize is that businesses are coming to Farragut because of the buying power of the people who live here. Undercutting the Town staff because they try to enforce those rules is a great way to make Farragut as charming as Cedar Bluff. • I would like to comment regarding a woman in our neighborhood who mows her yard at least once a week and never
uses a trimmer and the mailbox, driveway and curb are grossly overgrown. Hopefully, she reads this article and will invest in a trimmer instead of cutting her grass within an inch of its life. Everyone knows, or should know, grass should never be cut this short. • To the person who gave their ridiculous comment about the accident that happened on West End Avenue. I witnessed the accident and there is not much a driver can do about a careless person running into the side of your car. It was his fault and obviously you don’t know the facts. • I’d like to respond to the comment added by an individual who made the declaration that
the incident between the pedestrian and the vehicle was the fault of the driver. Regardless of the authors opinion as a witness to that event I can assure you the incident was completely at the fault of the young man who recklessly ran out into the road without looking. The driver was actually doing about 10 miles per hour under the speed limit so I would appreciate it if they would keep their opinion to themselves unless they actually know the facts. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

We’ll see.” About Dallas’ reaction to Farragut’s use of the star, “I always thought they’d appreciate it, it’s kind of free publicity,” Smith said, pointing out with a laugh that Bill Bates, former FHS All-state football player (Class of 1979) also is a former Dallas Cowboy. Logos also have been reconfigured at South-Doyle, Karns, Central, Austin-East and Carter high schools, either because KCS and/or Strategic Marketing Affiliates are looking to head off potential legal problems or because a university has threat-
ened legal action. Bacon said most every “chain” retail store in the Farragut area has agreed to pay a one-time $100 licensing fee plus a 10 percent fee based on wholesale cost. The particular school keeps 60 percent of that wholesale cost fee, while 20 percent goes to KCS and 20 to SMA. “If something sold with ‘Farragut Admirals’ on it, [FHS] gets 60 percent,” Bacon said. However, “I want to say Knox County’s portion these first two school years is somewhere in the neighborhood of $6,000 to $8,000,” Bacon added about both KCS’s and the individual schools’ amount combined. “Most of that’s been during the past school year.”

The resurfacing budget was $500,000 but only $23,598 was spent, so the remainder, $476,402, will be transferred to the current fiscal year’s budget. Also, the Capital Investment Program’s expenditures will be increased by $100,000.

I hate change ... or do I? For years I thought to myself, “I don’t like change.” But since I try to be very careful about the words I think, that thought bothered me enough to take a closer look at those words. (Th-inking you don’t like something makes it so; and since change is inevitable, we may as well decide to enjoy it.) What I realized is thinking I don’t like change is a lot of hooey! I do too like change! I love clean sheets, f r e s h underwear, and the change in seasons. I like that special time when day turns to n i g h t , Pam night tu- Young rns to day, Make it each difFun! ferent day of the week, the growth in my children and grandchildren, new stuff like cars, shoes, books and such. I love a change of scenery, a vacation, and even “the change of life” had its good qualities. The reason I thought I didn’t like change was because I love a routine more. When I have a routine (good or bad) I don’t have to think. I think what happens is we can get stuck in dumb routines and they become such habits we

just don’t stop to think ourselves out of them. When my house was a mess I was just stuck in a routine that served up a messy lifestyle. When I didn’t include exercise in my daily life it served up a body that wasn’t fit. When I used credit cards as if they were income the outcome was predictable. So it’s not that we don’t like change, we don’t like having to think about getting out of a bad routine. When we baby step our way into a better routine, we get the best of both worlds. We get to gently take ourselves into another way to live and be happy with ourselves as we gradually change our circumstances. You’ve heard the term KISS. It stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. I use the same acronym only my KISS stands for Keep It Special Sweetie. See YOUNG on Page 6A

Treating reoccurring leg sores Q: My Weimaraner, “Millie,” gets these sores on her legs. She licks so much, then the sores heal, but they always come back. We have tried so many different things ov-er the years – I just don’t know how to help her. J.A., Farragut A: I bel- Stephanie ieve that you Myers are describAsk ing acral lick the Vet dermatitis (ALD), or lick granuloma. Lick granulomas are a common skin problem in dogs, especially large breed dogs with short hair. The condition is common in Weimaraners, like Millie, but also breeds such as Labs, Dobermans, and Boxers. The lesions are typically on the lower part of the legs, and the pet usually has a history of licking the area a lot. The skin becomes raised, thickened, and plaque-like. The site generally gets infected also. On top and around the lesion, the hair is typically gone from excessive licking. And because of the excessive licking, the hair shafts become damaged and broken, making it more itchy and uncomfortable for the pet. There are many causes of ALD, the most common being allergies.
Also implicated are behavior disorders, insect bite hypersensitivity, previous trauma, fungal infections, foreign bodies, and arthritis/joint pain. Because there are many different causes of lick granuloma, there are also many treatments. Attempting to identify the cause will help in guiding effective treatment. Since these lesions often become infected, they almost always require antibiotics, occasionally for extended periods. Other treatments may include antihistamines, behavioral modification and/or drugs, pain medication, and bitter tasting sprays that help decrease the licking behavior. Occasionally surgical biopsies or skin cultures are needed. For more severe cases, surgery and radiation therapy have been used. Acral lick dermatitis is a common, recurring, and frustrating condition for dogs and their owners. There is not one treatment that works for every pet, or for every episode. Once the inciting cause for an individual pet is identified and treated, the pet will likely have fewer episodes. Unfortunately, when causes such as allergies and behavioral conditions are factors, the conditions can still flare up. If you think your pet has ALD, see your veterinarian for treatments options for your dog. Send your veterinary questions to lcac@lenoircityanimalclinic.com

ity to put things behind us and move on. I just read an article about the science of pleasure. (I love that science is studying this!) It said that there is actually a place in our brain that lights up when we experience pleasure and with the technology we have today, we can track it. In one experiment, a scientist hooked a guy up to the machine that can do this and gave his subject a drop of water on his tongue, then a drop of juice, alternating between the two. The subject’s brain lit up with the juice drops and not the water drops which was predicted. What was interesting was when the juice drops were given randomly not every other one, the brain lit up like a Christmas tree. That tells us we

Once I heard Garrison Keeler on Prairie Home Companion say, “Having ice cream for breakfast one morning is wonderful, but after ten days of it for breakfast it would lose its specialness.” When I embarked on my plan to get organized, I included in the plan a day each week in which I could do nothing if I wanted to. I could stay in my night gown all day if I wanted to. I could eat over the sink if I wanted to. Funny thing is, as I began to live a different life of order it took me into a whole new world and there is no way I would go back to what I have always termed, “my slob days.” I love that we have the freedom and the abil-

Social Security Are you leaving money on the table? Did you know there are 88 different claiming strategies for maximizing your social Security benefits? It's true and it's so complex that I use specially designed software that allows me to make sure my clients are receiving the largest benefit possible. Recently I was working with a Yvonne Marsh couple who was approaching retirement age, and they were wondering how to choose their Social Security benefits. Should they claim under their own earning records? Or utilize the Spousal Benefit option and let one person defer until age 70? After running a Social Security analysis, I was able to show them that they were eligible for an additional $1,000 in monthly benefits - worth more that $40,000 to them during their lifetimes - simply by claiming a Spousal benefit. As a financial planner working with pre-retirees and retirees, plus being the daugh-
ter of aging parents, I am often afforded an inside look in to just how important Social Security benefits are to securing a comfortable retirement. While it is true that no two individuals are alike, and retirement objectives and plans can vary greatly, the one thing almost all of us share in common is Social Security. Most of us have paid into Social Security going back to our very first jobs as teenagers and continue to pay into it to this day. But are you doing everything you can to maximize the Social Security benefits you and your spouse can expect to receive in retirement? For instance, did you know that if you wait to claim Social Security until you are age 70, your benefit will grow by 8% a year between age 66 and age 70? This will not only provide you with 32% higher monthly benefits while you are alive, but continue on in the form of higher survivor benefits. Also, benefits available to divorcees are often overlooked. If you were married more than 10 years and are now divorced, when you turn 62, you are eligible to claim Social Security under
your former spouse's work record -even if they remarry. At Marsh Professional Group, our goal is a simple one - to provide comprehensive financial, legal, and retirement planning to individuals, couples, and small business owners for each phase of their lives. If you are retired or approaching retirement, especially between the ages of 62 and 70, I encourage you to maximize the Social Security benefits you have worked a lifetime for. Just provide us a Social Security earnings statement and we will let you know if you are "leaving any money on the table." Marsh Professional Group, offers a Social Security Analysis using the software I mentioned earlier for only $59.. But, as a special incentive, mention that you read this article when you call, and we will provide you a discounted price of only $39. In a rapidly changing financial environment, and the uncertainty surrounding today's retirees, this may be the best $39 investment you have ever made. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

JTV dedicates park for employees ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
About 300 Jewelry Television employees turned out Aug. 30 for the dedication of JTV’s new Founders Park at its Parkside Drive site. “This [the dedication] is a milestone even in our company,” said Tim Matthews, chief executive officer of JTV. He noted that the wellness complex, which includes a health care and indoor fitness center, and the 3.5-acre park was not built as a requirement for President Barack Obama’s and the state’s health reforms; but rather, it reflects the company’s attitude it cares for its employees’ health, happiness and well-being. Matthews added the corporation’s goal is to make JTV a happier workplace. “This is especially true with what you see behind us,” he told employees, indicating the park. “We want this to be a place for you to enjoy for many years to come. “Our commitment is to you, our employees,” Matthews said. The park features a multi-level jogging track, professional-quality sand volleyball and badminton courts, a synthetic putting surface with sand trap, Frisbee golf, a fire pit with seating area, two amphitheaters, covered picnic areas, a field for soccer and flag football and wireless Internet capability.

The park was dedicated to Charles A. Wagner III, JTV’s vice chairman and long-time executive. “He’s been with us a long time,” Matthews said. “Charlie was instrumental in bringing in the capital in 1996 and again in 1998. “Charlie has protected our interests as we have gone through our ups and downs in the company,” Matthews said. He lauded Wagner for his work ethic, commitment to excel-
lence, being a team player and his commitment to employees. “I’m overwhelmed,” Wagner said. “It’s been a privilege to be a part of this company and have a small part of the responsibility of its 1,200 employees.” “I’m very excited,” said Crawford Wagner, Charlie Wagner’s son. “Dad has been a wonderful father and mentor to me. We worked together for the last several years.” Matthews said the idea for the employees’ Founders Park came
about six months ago. “It’s beautiful,” said Randy Puryear, a JTV employee. “It’s a great asset to JTV and the employees.” JTV is one of the largest multichannel retailers of jewelry and gemstones in the United States. The privately held shopping network broadcasts 24 hours a day and seven days a week to more than 80 million U.S. households.
Bass, Jefferson to speak at Chamber breakfast
■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson will speak as part of the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Breakfast Speaker Series at an event, beginning at 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 24, at Fox Den Country Club. “They’ve been guests of the Chamber Breakfast series at least five times, and they’re coming back again this time, and they will be introducing their newest book, which is called ‘Cut to the Bone,’” said Bettye Sisco, FWKCC president and CEO. Sisco called Bass and Jefferson two of the Chamber’s most popu-
lar speakers. “They always tell great stories,” she said. “They’re a wonderful team. Their humor together is absolutely delightful. ... When they tell the story or tell what they’re telling, they’re not only great at what they do, but they’re great at explaining it and entertaining to the audience.” The day of the event is the same day the book comes out, she said. “You will for sure want to be there to get their new book signed,” she said. The cost of attendance is $30 for members, $40 for non-members and $275 for a table of 10. The deadline to register to attend is Thursday, Sept. 19, she said.
“We always expect a large crowd and do again this year, so please make reservations early,” she said. The event also will have a full buffet breakfast, she said. Fifteen percent of ticket sales will go toward a charity of the speakers’ choice. The chamber is looking for sponsors for the event, she said. Publicity is the main benefit of sponsoring, she said. “If you’re a sponsor and if your logo is on announcements that are going out into the community, you’re getting a lot of advertising for a low cost,” she said. To those unsure of whether to attend, Sisco said, “I think they’ll have an extremely enjoyable
morning and an educational morning as well. I think that everyone loves Dr. Bass and has supported him over the years. His students come. Everyone comes because of him, and they’re anxious to see him because he was their teacher so to speak and because they’re both quite knowledgeable people and they work beautifully together.” Sisco described the aim of the Breakfast Speaker Series. “It’s to introduce the Chamber to something new, a speaker that is well known, someone perhaps in the political arena, someone that you just don’t hear every day that you can talk with, education that they can gain from the breakfast,” she said.

Dawgs surge in fourth, turn back gutsy Mountaineers ■
TONY MANILLA Correspondent
After a superb first quarter from the Bearden Bulldogs, most of the home faithful in attendance at Bill Young Field seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, leaned back in their seats and watch their team breeze to its first win of the season. Their solace would have to wait till the final quarter, as a gutsy Heritage side refused to go away. Bearden needed a 13
point fourth quarter run to put itself ahead for good and earn a much needed first victory of the season, 54-28. “This feels good,” linebacker Kole Matherly said. “I’ve been waiting Bulldogs 54 for this Heritage 28 feeling since … I don’t know when.” The senior captain seemed visibly relieved, and with his team coming off two bad losses to open the year, this
win was vital. The Bulldogs couldn’t have written the first quarter any better themselves, which couldn’t have been a bigger disaster for the Mountaineers. Bearden’s good fortune opened with a 5-yard score from Malichi Horton, cashing in on Heritage freshman Zach Amburn’s fumble on the opening kickoff. After a quick three-and-out by the Mountaineers, Horton struck again.
The senior fielded the ensuing punt and raced to a 70-yard touchdown, courtesy of a devastating block by Matherly, which brought back memories of ESPN’s “Jacked Up” highlight reels. After Xavier Johnson’s 47 yard strike to Emad Aqqad made it 21-0 Dawgs, Heritage appeared to be down and out, but the Mountaineers refused to throw in the towel. After back-to-back touchdown runs by junior Orlando Bledsoe
and sharp passing by quarterback RT Byrd (completed 4 of 4 passes on second scoring drive), Heritage had clawed its way back into the game, forcing the Bulldogs to regroup quickly. Bearden did just that on its final drive of the half, thanks in part to two big plays form Xavier Johnson, the first coming on a 28- yard completion to sophomore Skyler Hammet on a dire See DAWGS on Page 5B
Lady Ads open season with crushing win ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
Farragut High School’s volleyball team opened the District 4AAA portion of its schedule on a high note at Hardin Valley Academy. The Lady Admirals recorded a pair of straight-set victories over the host Lady Hawks and William Blount. Farragut (17-4 overall, 20 in the district) opened the night with a 25-18, 25-16 win over an injuryr i d d l e d Lady Admirals 17 H V A Lady Hawks 4 squad. The Lady Ads then overcame a sluggish start against the Lady Governors to claim a 25-20, 25-13 victory. Farragut started fast against Hardin Valley as senior setter Tessa Watson served up five consecutive points to give the Lady Ads a 5-0 lead. From there, the Lady Hawks (10-7, 1-1) spent the entire first game attempting to claw their way back. “We’re very banged up,” Hardin Valley headcoach Mike Rosenke said. “I’m happy with the way that we competed against Farragut. They’re right there with Bearden as one of the top teams in the league. “We have five starters hurt and the girls that we do have are playing hard. I look forward to us
getting healthy and competing. Luckily, this is a tournament sport and we’re going to play and get the best seed that we can get.” Watson opened the first set with a service ace in her first run. After Farragut jumped to the big lead, the Lady Hawks scored on a side-out and pulled to within 5-2. Hardin Valley did cut the deficit 6-4 before the Lady Admirals scored five of the next six points to open an 11-5 advantage. The Lady Hawks enjoyed some success as the home team did trim Farragut’s advantage to 1412 before a side-out made it 1512 and gave the Lady Admirals possession. From there, Natalie Hartman scored three straight points (including two aces) to make the score 18-12. Farragut’s service game would prove lethal on this night. The Lady Admirals’ Emma Milstead served up the final three offensive points of the game after HVA pulled to within 21-18. Watson said she was pleased to get a sweep on the first night of district play. “We used teamwork and we went out and played for each other,” said Watson, who finished the match with 20 assists, nine points and four aces. “Hardin Valley provides good competition for us.” Milstead finished with 12

assists, 12 digs and five kills while Raegan Grooms had 10 digs and seven kills. Meanwhile, Hardin Valley outside hitter Magen Payne returned to the lineup and had four kills against Farragut. “Not being able to play was driving me crazy,” said Payne,
who recently suffered a concussion and played sparingly against the Lady Admirals and Lenoir City. “Hopefully, I’ll be ready to go fully [this] week. “I’m fired up about getting out there and playing with my favorite girls.” The Lady Hawks rebounded to
beat the Lady Panthers 25-16, 2513. Payne had six kills in that match and Lacy Cantrell added four. In Farragut’s final match of the evening, the Lady Ads were sluggish early against William See LADY ADS on Page 5B
Ads run over LC Panthers ■
KEN LAY Correspondent
LENOIR CITY – Tanner Thomas is making the most of his opportunities on the football field. “I just came in here focused and I knew that I was going to get some playing time,” said Thomas, Farragut’s Admirals 34 sophomore runPanthers 14 ning back, who rushed for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the Admirals’ 3414 District 4-AAA victory over the host Panthers at Cecil Thomas Field. “I just took what I could and ran with it.”
He’s definitely done that. Thomas had a big game in Farragut’s home opener against Oak Ridge recently and saw his success continue on the road as he again filled in for Mitch White, who missed his second consecutive contest with a foot injury. “He’s more confident now and he has great ability,” Farragut headcoach Eddie Courtney said. “He’s a great kid and he works hard. “He’s come in and watched films of some of our other backs. He’s a sophomore playing [Class] 6A [football] and he’s growing up and getting better every day.” Thomas was the biggest star of the night for the Ads (2-1 overall,
1-0 in the district) but the evening saw plenty of stars in a game that avenged last season’s home loss to the Panthers (1-1, 01). Farragut again darted to a fast start in the early stages --- and the entire contest was dominated by its defense. The Admiral defenders took control from the outset and got a big play from Justin Brabson on the first series. Brabson picked off a pass from Panthers’ junior quarterback Rashawn Tallent and returned it to the LCHS 29-yard line. From there, Farragut engineered a modest drive that resulted in a 33See ADMIRALS on Page 6B

Lady Ads ‘tied up’ with concerns after Maryville ■ ALAN SLOAN
asloan@farragutpress.com
Farragut girls soccer seems “all tied up” with a few problems, as Dennis Lindsey’s experienced Class AAA state championship contending team enters its mid-season stretch. “It seems like we need to handle adversity a little better,” coach Lindsey said after a 1-1 tie at home against a young Maryville Lady Ads 1 team it Maryville 1 dominated most of the game Wednesday evening, Sept. 4. “That’s a big key for this team.” Farragut, which entered the week 3-1-3 overall, 0-0-2 in District 4-AAA, saw the Lady Rebels (3-2-2, 1-1-1) score on one of only two shots-on-goal, knocking home a long rebounded shot, following a breakaway run, with 26:59 left in the game. Lindsey said his Lady Admirals “are kind of dominating teams, we’re just not putting it in the back of the net. Our finishing is not where it should be right now. “Our game is good, and their passing was good. It’s just the finishing aspect of it’s got a long way to go,” he added, as FHS held a 10-2 shots-on-goal advantage. “The thing about it is, we only took three shots-on-goal in the first half and we were pretty much in the offensive third [of the field] the whole first half.” With only 4:12 to play, senior forward Katie Cloud tied the game after controlling a rebounded shot. Senior Joanda Parchman’s shot from 25 yards
out hit the crossbar, but Cloud was there to gobble up the deflection and scored from about five yards out. “I was at the right place at the right time,” Cloud said. “I was afraid if I just one-touched it I was going to miss or kick it to the keeper, so I settled the ball down.” Overall, “Our passing game was up, we just couldn’t shoot, we couldn’t finish the ball,” Cloud added. “It’s frustrating.” Sarah Wickman, Lady Admirals senior defender, said, “Most of the game we dominated, and we kept them on the other side of the field. But, you know, they just got through once and they took care of it. “I think that’s one of our problems,” she added. “Like we get a lot of shots on goal but we can’t put it in. Other teams take care of it the one chance they get. “It’s extremely frustrating.” Farragut senior Josie Jennings, one of the state’s top sweepers and a Tennessee Lady Volunteers commitment, is still recovering from a stress fracture in her right foot. “This is only my second week back,” she said. “Judging by tonight I’d probably put myself at 60 percent. I don’t think I was up to my full speed, stamina, agility.” Lindsey said that if his girls could play “one breakout game, after that I believe it would be Katy bar the door.” Bill Stooksbury, MHS head coach, admitted that Farragut “kind of had us on our heels, but we expected that. They’re a senior-laden team and we’re young.”

While Jack DeFur entered the Hardin Valley Academy football record book last Friday night, his Hawks overcame a critical end-offirst-half mistake and rolled to its first-ever District 4-AAA win. Though HVA was only two yards from a 17-0 halftime lead, a 103yard interception return for a William Blount touchdown shocked Hawks Nation and made it 10-7 at the break. “We got Hawks 45 in the l o c k e r William Blount 20 room and said, ‘We’re still winning this game,’” said DeFur, senior receiver who became Hardin Valley’s alltime leading receiver in both yardage and number of receptions, about his team’s 45-20 rout at HVA Sept. 6. “’We’re not just in it, we’re ahead right now, so we’ve got to put the nail in the coffin and get out of here with a win, and that’s what we did,” added DeFur, whose catches included a 9-yard touchdown grab from junior quarterback Nathan White that sealed the deal, 38-14, with 8:54 to play. About his records, “It’s an honor. But it wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t win,” DeFur said. Chris Thomas, senior defensive back/wide receiver, intercepted a WB pass on the game’s first play from scrimmage, setting up a 29yard Sam Pendergrast field goal. “I’ve been studying a lot of

Thomas’ 52-yard touchdown reception from White, which saw Thomas break a couple of tackles, made it 31-14 with 51 seconds left in the third quarter. Jordan Jackson, HVA’s senior workhorse running back, who rushed for rushed for 151 yards on 27 carries, scored on a 24-yard run early in the third quarter. Jackson had a 41-yard TD nullified due to a holding penalty late in the second quarter. “I thought Jordan had a great football game again,” said HVA head coach Wes Jones. Though WBHS (1-2, 0-1) cut the lead to 17-14, a Dominique Amos fumble recovery put Hardin Valley at the Governors 23. White scored on a 2-yard sneak

making it 24-14. Nick Buckles added a 26-yard TD run in the game’s final seconds. “I felt like our offensive line just rallied when we challenged them [by] saying, ‘We’re going to run the football behind you, we’re going to play great defense,’” Jones said. Joe Underwood, senior fullback-linebacker, scored on a 1yard run midway into the first quarter after the Hawks went 41 yards following a fumble recovery. It was 10-0. Individually, “I thought our receivers made some plays,” Jones said. “Joe Underwood continues to run around and make plays for us on offense and defense. Matt Brewer did some good things for us. … Chris Thomas had a pretty good night for a defensive back/wide receiver.” Jones also praised his kickers.

Catholic edges CAK in OT ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Scoring only three points on offense, Knoxville Catholic defeated Christian Academy of Knoxville 17-14 in an overtime District 4-AA thriller Friday, Sept. 6. Neither team could score a touchdown in their first possession in overtime, but a field goal attempt by Catholic kicker W y a t t Irish 17 Price was Warriors 14 true, and C A K ’s attempt was not. “It was sloppy, but it was a win,” said Steve Matthews, head football coach at Catholic. “And offensively, we didn’t do much, but the defense showed just a ton of heart, and I couldn’t be more proud of the coaching staff and the players, really on both sides of the ball and special teams. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’re a young team. There’s a lot of guys at new positions. There’s going to be ups and downs, and we’ll get better.” In regulation, Catholic (3-0) scored two key defensive touchdowns.
A 71-yard interception return for a touchdown by Catholic’s Chase Kuerschen gave KCHS a 7-3 lead in the second quarter. Kuerschen described the play. “I just read the quarterback’s eyes, jumped the pass and didn’t look back,” Kuerschen said. In the fourth quarter, with CAK (1-2) threatening at the Catholic 3, Catholic wide receiver and strong safety Dominic Souder recovered a fumble and returned it more than 92 yards for a touchdown to give Catholic a 14-6 lead with only 9:25 left to play in the game. A missed field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter by Catholic kept CAK in the game, allowing the Warriors to tie the game on their next possession. On the very next possession, starting with 3:56 left, CAK marched down the field in a drive highlighted by a number of completed passes for big yardage. The drive was capped off by a perfect throw from CAK quarterback John Sharpe to wide receiver Blake Shuler for a touchdown. The initial two-point conversion attempt failed, but a flag was called on Catholic on the
play. Again, CAK got another opportunity and took advantage, converting on the team’s second attempt at two points from the 1-yard line and tying the game at 14-14 with 2:29 left. After an interception, CAK got a chance to end the game in regulation, but a field goal attempt was no good, forcing overtime. CAK running back Drew Jost ran the ball for 145 yards on 24 carries in the losing effort. “Catholic’s a heck of a team,” Jost said. “I mean our defense, all props to them. They didn’t give up a single touchdown. We’ve just got to do better on offense, and I had two huge fumbles that hurt us. We’ve just got to get over it and move on for Webb next week.” CAK kept going to Jost throughout the game. Rusty Bradley, head football coach at CAK, said, “The run game was something that was working for us, and with them playing so heavy in the pass and us having issues in pass protection some, we had to take what they were giving us, and they were giving us the run game.”

Dawgs From page 2B
third and 16. Minutes later, the Bulldogs found themselves at the Heritage 4-yard line with less than 10 seconds left and no timeouts, and the Central transfer answered the bell yet again. After nearly failing to get the snap off, Johnson rolled to his left, only to find his receivers blanketed by a host of Mountaineer defenders. In a breathtaking display of athleticism, Johnson quickly reversed his field and eluded two tacklers, finding his way to paydirt as time expired in the first half. “Sometimes you have to improvise, and when the time calls for it, you have to make a play,”
Johnson said. “I just wanted to do whatever I could for my team to make sure we stayed on top.” The Bulldogs’ signal caller picked up right where he left in the second half. After Orlando Bledsoe’s 48-yard touchdown run pulled the Mountaineers back to 35-21, Johnson countered with a beautiful 13-yard lob pass to Emad Aqqad in the corner of the endzone, who made an equally spectacular catch, dragging a toe just in bounds after a great leaping grab. The feisty Mountaineers made one final charge, however, with RT Byrd firing a 43-yard score to senior Caleb McDonald, pulling Heritage within two scores yet again at the end of the third quarter. Then Johnson and
Horton decided enough was enough, and the seniors took over the fourth. After the Mountaineers’ next drive stalled, the Bulldogs took over at their own 15 yard line, and the next play Johnson scampered 80-yards to the Heritage 5, with Horton polishing off drive on the following snap. After Matherly foiled Heritage’s next drive, stopping Brandon Cutler short on fourth down, the Bulldogs finally slammed the door on the Mountaineers, as Horton powered 48-yards to 1 and let Johnson do the rest, sealing Bearden’s first win of the year. “We just really had to come together after two losses, they were really bad and we didn’t play as a team,” Horton added.

Blount. Farragut fell behind 1510 before coach Susan Davidson called a timeout. After an animated discussion, the Lady Ads scored 14 of the next 15 points to open a 24-16 lead. “I was mad. We came out flat,” Davidson said. “We had a good chat and I was happy with the way the girls responded. “William Blount is a good team. They beat us last year on their home court.”
Watson, who scored 10 points in that run (including three aces), said that the team got Davidson’s message during the timeout. “I’ve never seen her that animated,” Watson said. “We came out and our energy level was low. After [the timeout] we played pretty well. “It feels great to come out here and start district with two wins.” Farragut went on to cruise in the second game against William Blount. Alexis Parker had five kills, two blocks and six digs in that match.

yard field goal by Carter Phillipy with 8 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the first quarter. And that was only the beginning. The Admirals held the Panthers to just 81 yards on the night. Furthermore, Tallent completed just two passes and the home team didn’t score an offensive point. “Our defense was huge,” Brabson said. “We knew we needed to go 1-0 in the district and this is a team effort.” Farragut forced the Panthers to go three-and-out before the Admirals constructed another long drive that ended in a punt after 10 plays. The punt gave LCHS the ball at its 20 with 2:18 left in the opening frame before Charvis Coffey picked off another pass and returned it to the Panthers’ 23. Thomas scored on the next play to extend Farragut’s advantage to 10-0 late in the first quarter. “This was a huge win for us especially after we started fast against Oak Ridge where we didn’t finish all that well,” Coffey said. “If we keep coming in and playing like this, we’ll go far in the playoffs.” Phillipy, Farragut’s sophomore kicker, added a 35-yard field goal

to make it 13-0 with 6:39 remaining in the second quarter. Lenoir City then got a big boost when Jaylond Woods returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown. Dakota Vincil’s extra point pulled the Panthers to with 6:24 to go before halftime. The Admirals scored one more first-half touchdown when Bryan Phillips connected with Aaron Suadi on a 32-yard scoring strike with just over four minutes left, making the score 20-7. Lenoir City got a defensive touchdown early in the third quarter when Cody Flashbart intercepted a pass from Phillips and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown. Farragut would answer late in the third quarter when Phillips connected with Cameron Urevick on a 32-yard score to make it 2714. Thomas closed the scoring with a 34-yard scoring scamper late in the fourth quarter. Courtney was pleased with his squad’s district victory. “We’re 2-1 and we’re 1-0 in the district and I’m happy with where we’re at right now,” he said. “I’m really proud of our defense. “You always want to win the first district game because when you go 0-1, you have to play catchup and you’ll need other people to help you out.”

Chatsworth a dashing Mediterranean classic A stucco-clad contemporary, the Chatsworth also sports a smart dash of Spanish Colonial flavor. Its composition roof could just as easily be red tile if the owners wish to further emphasize that style. A three-car garage is set at a diagonal to most of the indoor living space. Although this home has only two bedrooms, it's not your average two-bedroom home. Generously sized gathering spaces make it ideal for families who enjoy entertaining. If needed, the den could serve as a third bedroom, or a combination
office/guest room. Light washes into the wide foyer through sidelights and transom windows. The ceiling here is a lofty 10 feet in height, and the flooring is hardwood or tile. Hardwood flooring is also found in the family room, kitchen, hallway, powder room and utility room. The rest of the rooms are carpeted. On the left of the foyer, an arched opening leads into the combination living room and dining room. This spacious room, too, has a 10-foot ceiling, trayed for a touch of subtle elegance. The kitchen/family room is generously sized and wide open. Standing at the kitchen range, you can converse with people in the family room, or gaze out the
wide side windows to take in the exterior landscape. A roomy walk-in pantry adds to the abun-
dant storage space. Windows flank the direct vent fireplace that anchors the rear
wall of the family room. A home See CHATSWORTH on Page 9B

The chase for farragutpress How the West Was Won Presented by 3 Minute Magic Car Wash trophy stepped up intensity last week, as the five area Division I high school football teams opened district play. In District 4-AAA, Farragut, Bearden and Hardin Valley Academy all opened their conference campaigns with victories. Meanwhile in District 4-AA, Knoxville Catholic nabbed a 1714 overtime win over two-time defending Class 3A state champion Christian Academy of Knoxville at KCHS’s Blaine Stadium. The Admirals opened district play on the road as Cecil Thomas Field and routed host Lenoir City 34-14. Farragut (2-1 overall, 1-0 in the district) scored 10 early points off Panthers turnovers. Justin Brabson picked off Rashawn Tallent on LCHS’s first offensive series. That led to a 35yard field goal by Carter Phillipy. Charvis Coffey had an interception that set up a 23-yard scoring run by sophomore Tanner Thomas. Bryan Phillips threw a pair of TD passes.
Bulldogs (1-2, 1-0). Malichi Horton, a senior, scored four touchdowns for BHS. He rushed for 197 yards and scored on a 69yard punt return against the Mountaineers (0-2, 0-1). His efforts helped the Bulldogs open a 21-0 lead by first quarter’s end. Heritage pulled to within 28-14 before BHS quarterback Xavier Johnson scored on a TD run on the final play before halftime. The Dawgs play their third consecutive home game Friday. Morristown East invades West Knoxville. The Hurricanes (2-1) dropped a 14-10 to Sevier County Friday. Sevier County routed Bearden 62-27 in the season opener for both schools on Aug. 23 in Sevierville. Meanwhile, the Irish (3-0 overall, 1-0 in District 4-AA) remained perfect with a 17-14 overtime win over the two-time defending Class 3A state champion Warriors. Catholic’s Wyatt Price won the contest between the two rivals which haven’t met on the gridiron in a decade, with a 20-yard field goal in OT before Stephen Neu missed an overtime field goal attempt to tie. CAK (1-2, 0-1), which has lost two straight games, took a 3-0

lead when Neu kicked a field goal in the first quarter. The Irish won this tilt on the strength of its defense. Catholic held CAK’s normally potent offense to just 14 points and scored both of its own touchdowns. Dominic Souder scored when he recovered a Warrior fumble and rumbled 92 yards to the end zone. Catholic’s other score came when Chase Kuerschen returned an interception 71
yards. KCHS led 14-6 late in the game before CAK’s John Sharpe hooked up with Blake Shuler on a touchdown pass. A two-point conversion run by Drew Jost sent the game to overtime. Catholic has an open date this week while the Warriors host Webb. The Spartans (0-2) enjoyed a bye last week after losing to Maryville and Chattanooga Baylor.
