Taste of Farragut, Picnic on the Pike highlight weekend events ■ ROBBY O’DANIEL

rodaniel@farragutpress.com

This weekend is a big one in Farragut, with Taste of Farragut and Picnic on the Pike providing festivities for all. The weekend begins with Taste of Farragut. The 5th Annual Taste of Farragut, presented by TDS Telecom, will take place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 27, in the old

Kroger parking lot off Kingston Pike across from Farragut High School. The weekend comes to a conclusion with Picnic on the Pike. Picnic on the Pike will happen from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 29, on the front lawn of farragutpress, 11863 Kingston Pike, next to Ingles supermarket. There is no admission fee for Picnic on the Pike. “We’ve changed the event for

this year. Picnic on the Pike started as a celebration for our 30th anniversary and was originally intended just to be a onetime event; and there were people who loved it, so we continued it,” Sue Stuhl, Parks and Leisure Services director, said. “We’ve experienced not great growth in attendance, so we’re switching it this year, and it is a music-only event.” The event will feature music

from The Chillbillies and Back Talk, the press release stated. “Taste of Farragut is the FBA’s only fundraiser,” Allison Sousa, executive director of the Farragut Business Alliance, said via e-mail. “Proceeds fund the Shop Farragut branding campaign, which drives shoppers, diners and tourists to the Farragut area.

SERC discusses school speed zones

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Why no 30 mph school zone along Kingston Pike in front of Farragut High School’s entrance at Lendon Welch Way, versus the current 45 mph? Looking to supplement information obtained in an Aug. 15 farragutpress story concerning the possibility of new school speed reduction zones on Kingston Pike within Town lim-

its, Farragut School Education Relations Committee wants to hear from Town engineer Darryl Smith. “This is my school assignment, and I do know a lot of the students that go there,” SERC chair Mark Littleton said during the committee’s Tuesday, Sept. 3, meeting in Town Hall boardroom. “There’s a lot of parking over in the Kroger lot for that school. In fact, it’s the only place where sophomores are allowed

to park. But also, it’s overflow parking.” As a result, “There’s a good bit of walking traffic back and forth,” Littleton said. “A couple of things puzzle me,” he added. “One, there is a school zone on Campbell Station for Farragut High, but there’s almost zero walking across Campbell Station to Farragut High. Whereas there is a tremenSee SERC on Page 2A

goal that I would have.” Jim Nixon, a key representative of Farragut Land Partners since 1995 who has “conducted all the negotiations and rezonings and discussions with Farragut over the development that has occurred,” said, “I would like to see the Economic Development Committee continue” after Mayor Ralph McGill leaves office. McGill helped form EDC soon after being elected in 2009. “I would like to see progressive candidates get elected to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and continue the progress that’s been made during the McGill time in office,” Nixon added. Specifically, “there’s got to be a balance” between the Town’s residential development and “trying to stimulate retail activity within the Town in order to See VISION on Page 4A

After a coyote attacked her Jack Russell terrier recently, a Farragut area woman is speaking out about what she said is a growing problem in West Knox County. Diane Montgomery, a Cloverhill Lane resident (off Westland Drive near A.L. Lotts Elementary School), said her coyote problem “goes a long way back. We’ve been on our property for 14 years, and we began seeing them — and didn’t believe what we were seeing — the first few years that we were here. “But it has increased dramatically, and their boldness has definitely increased,” Montgomery added. “They just don’t seem to be afraid very much now. “There’s a number of us that are spotting them. … There are four homes on Cloverhill and we all are quite concerned. “We have friends over on the other side of Moorefield Lane who also have acreage, and they have to shut up their barn,

[with] dogs, at night because they’re afraid of them.” Montgomery said the Internet is full of people, including in Farragut and Concord, who are “commenting about what they’re seeing” concerning coyotes. As for frequency of coyote visits, “Once every six weeks would be a fair way to say it,” Montgomery said. “I’m at home more now and I see them frequently.” Montgomery said she’s attempted to contact TWRA’s Region 4 office “several times” but keeps getting an answering machine. “So I gave up,” she added. However, Montgomery said she didn’t call TWRA following her dog recently being attack “because I know they don’t deal with them. They don’t remove them and they don’t shoot them.” Mac Cameron, TWRA Region 4 public information specialist, said, “It’s open season year round, no limit on coyotes.

dous amount of walking from the Kroger lot across Kingston Pike. Kingston Pike’s speed limit is also 45 mph; a very heavily trafficked state highway.” Littleton referenced Smith’s explanation in the story that St. John Neumann school (St. John Court and Grigsby Chapel Road) had a school zone because of sufficient student foot traffic crossing St. John Court heading home to adjacent subdivisions. However, Littleton said, “As a resident of the area, I’ll share with the committee I haven’t done a study and a traffic count, but it’s hard for me to imagine that that particular school, which is a much smaller school, would have as much walking as we do here on Kingston Pike over at the high school.” Also mentioned was an Aug. 29 farragutpress story about an FHS freshman who, according to a Knox County Sheriff’s Office report, walked in front of a vehicle at West End Avenue and was struck and injured. “I’ve also talked to the princi-

pal at one of the two schools, and he said he has always been a advocate of a school zone on Kingston Pike and West End [Avenue], but doesn’t find support for that,” Littleton said without specifying which principal. “I don’t find solid agreement in the community with where we are right now on having school zones,” Littleton added. As he pointed out in the Aug. 15 story, Smith reiterated the factor that “all of those intersections on Kingston Pike have signalized crosswalks. … While there are quite a few pedestrians, they do have the ability to cross with the ease of a pushbutton signal.” As for why a 30 mph school zone wouldn’t necessarily improve safety at that intersection versus the current 45 mph, “I really do feel like at the peak hours traffic is moving very slowly anyway … it’s usually pretty backed up,” Smith said, adding that assessment “is purely observation.” Smith also noted that traffic signals just a couple hundred yards on either side of the

Farragut Republican Club

Lendon Welch Way intersection (Brooklawn and Concord/West End Avenue) serve as speed reducing elements. “It would be very difficult to speed up in order to beat a light.” As for having a zone along Campbell Station, “There are quite a few pedestrians along Campbell Station, and that is not a signalized intersection,” Smith said.

efforts, so this event has natural buy-in and loyalty from both businesses and residents of Farragut. But the really exciting part is that it also pulls attendees from throughout the region, giving our vendors a chance to showcase what they’re all about in their ‘best bite’ samples.” And attendees of the event look to have plenty to sample, considering the large list of vendors. As of Friday, Sept. 20, the vendor list included: Aubrey’s, Apple Cake Tea Room, Beverage Control, B&T Distributing, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cherokee Wine & Spirits Distributing, Campbell Station Wine & Spirits, D&V Distributing, Corks Wine & Spirits, Costco Wholesale, Dixie Lee Wines & Liquors, Frullati Café & Bakery, Farragut Wine & Spirits, Gigi’s Cupcakes, George Dinwiddie Distributing Company, Knoxville Beverage Company, Jet’s Pizza, Kroger Marketplace, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Mario’s Pizza and Grill, Lipman Brothers, Murray’s Cheese, Meksiko Cantina,

vertical planning,” Smith told McIntyre. “Especially in Algebra I. … I think what’s happening, our teachers are spending too much time re-teaching Algebra I,” Smith added. Smith confirmed McIntyre’s observation “that there must be a pretty significant number” of FHS freshman who “have already had Algebra I,” with Smith adding that number is “75 to 80 percent. … I think the data’s going to show we’re boring those kids. “We’re trying to address that.” Wes Edmonds, FMS assistant principal who taught and coached at FHS for eight years, said, “We’re kind of working on a partnership now to get some interaction between some of our departments. … ‘What do we need to do to get them ready when they’re at the high school? What are some things that the kids look like they are missing and they are lacking?’ “A little better alignment.” In addition, “Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Trent had a really good relationship previously” before Trent became FMS principal this school year, Edmonds said. “Mr. Trent also had a [working] relationship with [Debbie] Sayers,” new FHS curriculum principal,” Edmonds added. “And I have such good ties at the high school.” A Sept. 12 meeting between FMS administrators and Sayers, along with Knox County Schools officials, was intended “to get some of our honors classes here at the middle school aligned with some of the expectations at the high school. Trying to have a plan. “We have a huge group of honors classes here, and a lot of those kids move to [Farragut] High

distance from you, although the ones I have seen here have come pretty darn close.” Although Montgomery’s Jack Russell terrier suffered “puncture wounds all over his head,” the dog is expected to fully recover. “I think he had a very close call.” Saying she knows nothing about any of her neighbors having suffered any coyote attacks on pets or children, “I know that in Westmoreland Hills and Westwood, those communities have all reported attacks on pets,” Montgomery said.

If you’re not comfortable with a firearm, “You can hire wildlife damage control agents to come out and do some trapping if you’re having a coyote problem. There’s a bunch of them around the Knoxville area,” Cameron said. However, according to Montgomery, “My neighbors and I discussed” hiring an agent. And I understand that the people over in Westmoreland Hills did that and it cost them several thousand dollars. So we didn’t feel that was an option for us.”

• What is going on with the Planning Commission? With regard to a proposed zoning ordinance amendment allowing accessory structure apartments, farragutpress reported, “The Planning Commission agreed by consensus not to pursue the concept any further.” However, even with five issues of this week’s Commission meeting agenda on their website, the Commission shows no recognition of dropping this ill founded Commission brain spasm. In fact Town assistant administrator [Gary] Palmer, in his report on the Aug. 15 meeting, ignores the reported dropping of the proposal and says only “resulting in a ‘consensus’ poll and not a formal vote.” It makes it look like someone in the administration is trying to twist BOMA arms to reconsider this unnecessary and unpopular idea. • Regarding the traffic camera at Campbell Station [Road] and Parkside [Drive], I realize the yellow light timers are “supposed” to be set at four seconds. For whatever reason, because of a malfunction or Farragut choosing to ignore the rule, this yellow light functions improperly. The last two times I have entered the intersection, the light was green upon crossing the white stop bars and turned yellow, then red before I could get across the intersection. I’ve notified the Farragut and the KCSO, and no one will check the light to ensure it works properly. Is there anyone else to notify? Editor’s Note: Knox County Sheriff’s Office is not responsible for traffic signals in the town of Farragut. All traffic

signals in the town of Farragut are managed by the Town’s Engineering Department. Newspaper staff observed the signal at Campbell Station and Parkside Friday, Sept. 20, and did not notice any malfunction. • I’d like to express appreciation we had for viewing the “Gettysburg” movie at the Farragut center [Sunday, Sept. 14], which was really a delight, and we appreciate having the opportunity of looking forward to other movies that they might have and particularly the celebration of the anniversary of the Civil War. So, thank you so much to all involved. • Thank you to Farragut for the “Gettysburg” movie. Truly enjoyed it. • In response to the article [presstalk, Sept. 19] regarding the woman not using a trimmer, I think I know her. If it’s the same one, she owns a trimmer. I saw her use it around May 1, of this year. Her entrance, driveway and side of the house are grossly overgrown. I’m thinking she is obviously lazy. Also, about the newspapers piling up in the driveway, why don’t you help out and pick them up instead of complaining in the paper? • If you are approached by a woman in a black Escalade in a parking lot in Farragut, she is asking for money. I was approached at Costco and it’s a scam. I went to the manager, I went to talk to somebody after it occurred and he told me it was the third time somebody had reported being approached by a woman who claimed she is down on her luck and in need for money for gas. She is driving a

black Escalade, brown hair and claims she is from Jellico, Tenn., trying to get home. It is unfortunate that people such as her are taking advantage of the good will of others when there are so many that are hurting. Editor’s note: A woman fitting the description given has been doing this for months at various places in Turkey Creek and also was seen at Outback Steakhouse in Strawberry Plains. • I would like to thank you for printing the article on Mike Field and the Job Resource Group at Concord United Methodist Church. Mike was instrumental in helping my husband find employment after voluntarily ending an 18-year career with Chrysler. Not only is he a kind and generous person but he helped our family find stability during a very uncertain time. • [Recently] I called the [Knox County] Sheriff’s Office in the Farragut Town Hall to report a possibility of my identity theft. The person answering the telephone responded that she was engaged in taking a report and would call back. Today, I tried calling the Farragut Sheriff’s Office and received no answer after letting the telephone ring multiple times. I finally contacted the Sheriff’s Office downtown and have had my case turned over to a detective. My point is that if we have a police department in Farragut, it should be available to talk to the people who live in Farragut and we should feel assured that there is a police department there for our pro-

tection. Editor’s Note: The Knox County Sheriff’s Office at Farragut Town Hall is a satellite office and is only staffed by one person, who is not a police officer. The town of Farragut does not have or fund a police department. All requests for officers are routed through the downtown Knox County Sheriff’s Office from which police officers are dispatched. Farragut is part of KCSO’s normal Knox County coverage and usually has a car somewhere in this part of the county patrolling. • I have two comments about last week’s person who wrote in talking about eyesores. If we neighbors went and did all the trimming for all the people who don’t we would spend all of our time trimming other people’s yards. Newspaper stockpiling in the driveways — well, you made yourself a good neighbor and quit complaining. Do your good neighbor thing and pick them up and throw them away. Makes sense to me. • Shame on farragutpress. The president declares that flags should fly at half staff in remembrance of the lives lost during the 9/11 attacks and which flag in Farragut was never lowered. Yours. Shameful. • Perhaps with all this bickering about who is going to trim whose yard, the town of Farragut should send its Public Works people out to mow everyone’s yards. That way we can be assured that they will all be cut the same and Farragut will look like the Stepford community it aspires to be.

• Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities. With that in mind, the farragutpress has developed policies that will be followed regarding the publication of presstalk comments: • Libelous comments will not be published. • Malicious comments will not be published. • Comments will remain anonymous. • Recorded comments will be limited to 30 seconds. • Written comments should be limited to about 100 words. • Names of individuals or businesses mentioned in the call may not be published (including public figures and officials) depending on the issue. • Comments mentioning names of public figures, not issue related, will be published as a “Letter to the Editor” and must be signed. • farragutpress reserves the right not to publish any comment for any reason. • Because of space limitations, not every comment will be published. Also, portions of the 30-second message and written comments with more than 100 words may be omitted, but the basic message of the call or email will remain intact. • Vulgar language will not be printed. That’s it. The forum is open for comments regarding anything you have on your mind — local politics, world affairs, sports, religion, community affairs, city-county unification or anything else.

Car owner comments I am the owner of the car that the young boy ran into the side of on Aug. 15. I have a grandson in middle school and my granddaughter walks down from the high school.

I have remarked many times they neither look right or left — about 95 percent don’t look (yesterday it was 100 percent).

enhance the Town’s tax base,” Nixon said. “There’s a market for additional business in Farragut, and the Town would welcome that development at this point. “There’s always going to be residential development, and high-quality residential development, but that’s not going to produce a dime for the Town. What that’s going to do is use more services,” Nixon added. “So the Town, at some point, has to have additional retail activity within the Town. There’s no other way

to raise money, that’s the only way they can get taxes. They have no property tax.” “Promoting retail sales in the Town has to be a priority.” Dangel said about retail development, “I’d like us to continue to focus on leasing Kingston Pike [business locations]. I like the combination that we have of big blocks with Costco and [JC]Penney and Kohl’s and small, eclectic retailers.” Concerning baseball and other sports as a drawing card, Dangel said, “Baseball seems to be something that is a strength of Farragut. Certainly with the high

school and Little League programs. “I like what Murfreesboro has done for the Spring Fling, turning that into a place where all of Tennessee comes to play baseball and different sports in the spring,” Dangel added. “I’d like to see us become a center for baseball and sports in East Tennessee. We certainly have the hotel space now to do it.” “I don’t know enough if we have the baseball fields and sports fields to do this, but it’s a great draw financially for a town. Baseball and maybe soccer.”

Parents give high marks to Underwood at FMS ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Mr. U’s fun and energetic teaching methods apparently make an immediate impact upon his students. “His first impression of this teacher was, ‘he’s only the best teacher in the world,’ he said that today, and it’s only been the second day of school,” said Keena

Johnson about her son, A’koiyea, 11, upon his first two days in Allen Underwood’s sixth-grade math class at Farragut Middle School. High marks from Johnson and other parents, students, fellow teachers and FMS principal Danny Trent were plentiful for Underwood, Tyler Duke Memorial Foundation’s FMS Teacher of the Year in 2012-13, during an FMS

sixth-grade open house Tuesday, Aug. 13. “He’s going to keep the kids very busy every day,” Johnson said. “And he has sort of a schedule, and it’s a fun schedule where they’re doing a lot of games and mind type of tricks and stuff to get their minds thinking about math. “Seems to be really fun, and he gives off a lot of energy and jokes

around,” Johnson added. “I think the energy level’s going to be high and really important for the kids this year. “I think he’s able to broaden the kids’ minds and get them interested in math more.” Julianne Kucera, 11, has Underwood for both math and homeroom. “He makes everything very fun and everything’s very interesting,” Julianne said.

Julianne’s mother, Melissa Kucera, said her nephew, Jackson Scott, “who’s now in college, had Mr. Underwood in sixth grade, and he raved about him.” Weihua Li’s son, Daniel, 11, is another Underwood math student. “I like this environment and the teacher is very good,” Li said. “And I think the classroom is very neat.” See UNDERWOOD on Page 9A

FUD ProCorps targets Appalachia ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Expanding beyond Guatemala, voluntary technical assistance to help impoverished communities through Knox ProCorps is targeting Appalachia. Once again, First Utility District ProCorps members are front and center ready to lend their expertise, and days away from home, free of charge. There’s plenty of severe regional poverty, including East Tennessee, where FUD technical assistance currently is needed to assist Appalachian Service Project. “We’re starting to work toward that means,” said Bruce Giles, FUD general manager and Knox ProCorps volunteer.

“They’ve got projects in five states, I think that is the number,” Giles added about Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina. “In many situations they won’t have the technical expertise to solve problems. We may go into northern Kentucky or northeastern Kentucky and look at a drain field and help them figure out how to get better sanitary sewer control. Or how to get water into a side of a mountain to a population, or something like that. Maybe help design a bridge.” “We’ve actually been meeting with those folks and hope, sometime early in the fall, to take a team and evaluate some projects to see if we can come up with some solutions for them. We’re

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

A creative setting inside Farragut High School’s Ferguson Theater, from which an 11-member cast will attempt to take challenging dialogue and make it funny, await those attending “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Oscar Wilde’s play, “a comedy

of manors about society in the early 1900s,” is the fall challenge of Lea McMahan’s FHS Admiral’s Performing Arts Company, as this three-act play begins at 7:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 26-28, and 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 29. Cost is $8 for students and $10 for adults “It’s about a man who wants to marry a girl, and her mother

doesn’t like it, and so he has to prove himself,” said McMahan, FHS senior theater/film teacher in her 12th year at the school. Using her own creative license in choosing a beachfront setting in Atlantic City, N.J., “I’ve always wanted to set a play on the beach,” McMahan added. “We’re See FHS on Page 10A

She flies! She spies! She leaves a surprise! deathnotices birthnotices Chances are, if your kids are in a mess it’s because you’re in one too. But there’s hope. Your children can get organized when you make it fun. What will make the differe n c e ? Magic! But in order to put magic into the mix, you’ll need to call upon your chil- Pam dren’s Young imaginaMake it t i o n . Think of Fun! the power you have around Christmastime with Santa and his elves lurking around and checkin’ his list. Kids’ imaginations run as smoothly as Michelle Kwan behind a Zamboni. They’re natural imaginers! And that’s where the House Fairy comes in! Who’s the House Fairy? Well here’s the scoop. When my sister and I decided to get organized, it was June 16, 1977 and we agreed to get organized first and then help our six kids who, at the time, ranged in age from two to twelve. We knew sooner or later we needed to deal with their disorder, but we weren’t sure how we were going to do that. Since Peggy and I got organized in the summer, it was the perfect time to let the

kids play and enjoy their summer vacation, knowing that when school started, three of the six would be in school and back into a routine, while the remaining three (two BOPs Born Organized People) would be easier to handle. Joanna, my BOP daughter was washing her toys when she was two. When she was eight, someone asked her if she’d like a doll house for Christmas and she replied, “Oh, I don’t think so, it’d be just one more thing to keep clean.” One day, well into autumn, my daughter Peggy Ann came home from second grade announcing that at school the Desk Fairy came to call and she got a surprise. “A surprise? For what?” “A surprise for keeping my desk neat.” “Really? And yours was neat?” (Peggy was one of my messiest offspring.) “Yes, because Teacher says we never know when the Desk Fairy will come, so we have to keep our desks neat ALL THE TIME! She says the Desk Fairy checks our desks when we’re out playing at recess and if they’re neat we get a surprise.” This fantastic idea got my crazy brain to cooking and within a week, I was decked out in a crazy wig, a dress with a twirly skirt in four layers of iridescent pink, green, purple, and orange, spiked heels, and a wand made from the vacuum cleaner hose with an aluminum foil covered tennis ball tucked in the end. Armed with three gifts for surpris-

es, I headed over to my sister’s house to make the first House Fairy inspection call. I rang the doorbell and Jeff, one of my nephews, answered the door. “Hi, I’m the House Fairy and I’m here to check your room.” He recognized me and seemed confused by my attire and spiel. My sister stood right behind him with a mixture of delight and confusion. “I’m the House Fairy and I have three surprises for the children if their rooms are neat and clean,” I repeated. By then, my other niece and nephew, Chris and Ally, were in the doorway making a quartet of gawkers. On that first visit, Chris (my sister’s BOP) got his surprise, but Ally and Jeff did not. After that fateful day, my sister and I took turns showing up at each other’s houses in outrageous costumes and our children began cleaning up their acts. The House Fairy works! News Flash! The House Fairy has come alive thanks to the Internet! When your kids watch the House Fairy, I promise they’ll WANT to start cleaning up. See for yourself. www.housefairy.org.

Mildred’s crocheting a gift of joy ■

Moskos speaks of print media’s future ■

ALAN SLOAN

asloan@farragutpress.com

After pursuing her hobby for 83 years, Mildred Orndorff still crochets baby blankets for the joy of giving. “I’ve been doing it since I was 10 years old,” said Mildred, 93, a resident of Parkview Senior Living in Farragut for three years who grew up in Baltimore. “My grandmother [Ida Anthony] showed me how. … We didn’t have television. It was more like a hobby. “In fact, when I was in high school, I crocheted a whole bedspread,” added Mildred, who has six children, 23 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. “I don’t have any great-greats yet.” Now, “It gives me something to keep my hands busy,” Mildred said. “And I like to give it to people. I’m given everybody in the family [a baby blanket] when they have a baby. I’ve given to Hope Resource Center, a lot of blankets. … And I’ve given seven or eight to different ladies here. … I fact I made one for a lady here because she’s having a new great-granddaughter. She said it’s a girl and she wanted it in pink, so I made it in pink.” To complete a blanket, “It takes me about five days,” Mildred said. “I’ll spend two or three hours [most every day], usually at night. Sometimes four hours.” Over the years, “I have sold a few,” she said about the various crocheted items — including lap blankets, large blankets and scarves — she’s made in 83 years. Suffering from Atrilated

Mildred Orndorff, 93, handles and displays some of her recent crotchet works at Parkview Senior Living Center.

Macular Degeneration — affecting eyesight — Mildred now is relegated to crocheting baby blankets. “With my eyesight that’s about all I can do,” she said. “I can feel a lot that I’m doing.” “She continues to make them, even though she has limited sight. She does it from memory and from the feel, and continues to make blankets to give away, where other people might not do it anymore,” said Genna Minihan, Parkview assistant manager. “She keeps on giving.”

“Sometimes people will give me the yarn, and that helps, so I don’t have to buy the yarn,” Mildred said. “I sit here sometimes and crochet all day long.” As for passing on her skills to her four daughters, “I have one that crochets [Barbara Abell] and one that quilts [Ellen Williams],” Mildred said. As for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, “Times are different now,” Mildred said. “I think some of them do it sporadically.”

Citing too much opinion and not enough accuracy as the unfortunate trend of print journalism, Harry Moskos said he is concerned about print’s future. “My biggest concern with the print media is that they’re going the way of cable television, with the emphasis on opinion and not accuracy,” said Moskos, former editor at Knoxville News Sentinel. Moskos was guest speaker of The Rotary Club of Farragut during its Wednesday, Aug. 14, meeting in Farragut Costco. “Unfortunately, the newspaper industry has changed from the time I started, and it’s not really for the better,” Moskos added. Moskos quoted from a book, “Death in the Afternoon,” saying “America’s big city afternoon newspapers are in trouble. [The author] wrote that in 1984, almost 30 years ago. “And, unfortunately the trouble now is spreading to the morning newspapers,” he added. Moskos noted that while “in the Atlanta airport” he was reading the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Vicki [his wife] taps me on the shoulder and says, ‘Look around Harry.’ I look around, and I’m the only one with a printed newspaper,” he added. “Everyone else has

got their iPhones or iPads or whatever you call them.” Dating back to his career start in 1953, “My newspaper career has taken me to four major cities: Albuquerque, El Paso, Knoxville and Honolulu,” Moskos said. “Every one of those cities, when I started there, had two daily newspapers, morning and afternoon. Now each one of those cities has only a morning newspaper, and those morning newspapers aren’t as healthy as they used to be. … Smaller staffs, earlier deadlines, less space for news and higher retail spaces for ads. “But this trend is continuing everywhere in journalism,” he added. “Fewer high schools have student newspaper than they did when I was a student. “But I’m also concerned about what’s happening in television news today. The commentators on both sides of a political issue, it’s more personal opinion and outshouting somebody than investigative reporting.” Reading results from a “recent survey” that was cited by a professor’s at The University of Tennessee, “’46 percent of noncommercial time on CNN was spent on commentary,’” Moskos said. “’On Fox News it was 55 percent. On MSNBC it’s 85 percent.’ See MOSKOS on Page 9A

Residents can cash in on Town culture ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut area families have an opportunity to cash in on the Town’s culture. As a participant of the Arts and Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville, Farragut Folklife Museum is taking part in the Culture Cash program. With Culture Cash, the Arts and Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville’s goal is to make people more aware of what cultural opportunities are out there for Knoxville area residents and to make it easier for people to support those organizations, said Chelsey Riemann, town of Farragut public relations coordinator. “The program is a way to build civic pride and encourage greater enjoyment of and appreciation for the many historic, artistic and cultural attractions in our city,” she added. Riemann explained Culture Cash might be spent just like cash at more than 40 participating Knoxville arts and culture organizations. Culture Cash is the same concept as a gift certificate but it keeps the money in the culture community, said Suzanne Cada,

deputy director of the Arts and Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville. Reimann said the “cash” is distributed in $10 “bills” or increments and lists all the participating organizations, at which it may redeemed at face value. For example, the “cash” can be used at Farragut Folklife Museum’s gift shop, which features Civil War history books, a 25th anniversary cookbook, children’s toys, handmade crafts and more, said Julia Barham, museum coordinator. In the museum, housed in the Town Hall on 11408 Municipal

Center Drive, Farragut area residents can see exhibits of the Town’s past, which includes the Civil War and Old Concord’s beginnings as a railroad town, said Malcolm Shell, a museum docent. “It’s [the museum is] probably one of the Town’s crown jewels,” Shell said. Cada said the Culture Cash program started in 2005. While it was active the first couple of years, it has lost some momentum. In bringing back the program, Cada said, “We’re giving it some new energy.”

Steven Barnard, 11, is another Underwood sixth-grader this school year. “I think he genuinely cares about the kids, and he definitely makes math fun, that’s one of the main things,” said Steven’s mother, Sarah Barnard. “My daughter [Ashlie] had him when she was in sixth grade for homeroom and math,” Barnard

added. “He was great. … He definitely makes math fun.” Trent labeled Underwood “top notch. … My knowledge of him thus far is he’s an outstanding teacher. He’s well respected. … He’s a role model for kids.” One of his fellow teachers labeled Underwood “a wonderful man, a man of faith.”

the engineering and construction community here in the Knoxville area,” Giles added. “They’re needing professional assistance with engineers, geologists, sometimes architects,” McKinney said. “We’re simply trying to provide them … two professionals who are willing to donate their time.” Appalachian Service Project “does a lot of building and construction,” McKinney added. “They really need our help with the permitting and design work and water

changes in the way our U.S. Military operates today.” Reflecting on lessons learned as a teenager, “One of the first things I learned was, I was still in high school, never write anything that’s not intended for publication,” Moskos said. “You never know what’s going to happen.” and sewer-related items. Sometimes bridges, sometimes structural or geo-technical issues.” Giles added, “We may send some experienced construction folks from different utilities or different contractors up to assist them with construction technique.” With Knox ProCorps “under two years old” according to Giles and focused primarily on assistance in Guatemala, this would be the first time it would be lending technical assistance in the Appalachian region. “We’ve literally been looking for an avenue to work in the region,” Giles said.

going to have big tarps down” for sand. Using a projector to place images on one of the theater’s walls, “It’s going to have the ocean tide going in and out,” McMahan said. APAC members have created “old-timey billboards at the boardwalk” on another section of the theater’s wall. As for dialogue, “I think the text is difficult because there’s so much of it, and it’s very dense,” McMahan said. “There’s a lot of innuendo and different meanings to things, and it’s a challenge for the kids.” However, “I think they’re doing a good job,” she added.

Cast is highlighted by lead male character Jack Worthing, played by senior Jay Mullens, and lead female character Gwendolen Fairfax, played by senior Dallas Boudreaux. Boudreaux, who stated her professional goal “is Broadway,” said she wanted the Gwendolen role because “she’s really sophisticated and really, like, a passionate person. She’s really hard working. She has a way of getting her way. … She’s really headstrong, and she’s really funny in, like, a smart way.” However, “The language is really thick … it took me a while to figure out some of the jokes,” Boudreaux, 17, said. “It’s hard to figure out how to say something to where it will be funny to the

audience.” Mullens, 17, said Jack “is a character that I kind of identify with because he interesting in the idea that he’s not incredibly innocent but he’s not entirely devious, either. He’s just trying to get by and get whatever he wants, and he’s very determined.” The language “is not Shakespearian, for instance, but it’s not incredibly modern English, either,” Mullens said. “So you’ve kind of got the language barrier between what people today think of as language and what people back then thought of as language. So there are a lot of hidden things that you really have to think about and you have to search for, otherwise the comedy just doesn’t come through.”

It was time for Farragut High School Class of 2014 to Toga Up late last month. Toga Night, the school’s annual fashion option for daring seniors as they celebrate the varsity football team’s home opening game, was Friday evening, Aug. 30, as Oak Ridge came to Bill Clabo Field. With an energized Toga section helping to motivate the home team, Farragut pulled out a 31-24 victory.

Shop fulfills co-owner’s dream ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Echelon Bicycles, located at 138 West End Ave., represents a dream come true for co-owner Kelly Hamm. “Bike shops, as the sport of cycling has grown, I’ve always had a mind for opening my own store,” Hamm said. “And if I felt like I could bring something different and do it my way, and so the timing and the market conditions and my experience and everything just all finally came together to provide an opportunity for my wife and I to start this particular bike shop.” Hamm, 43, said he has been an avid cyclist since May 1988. He began working in bike shops in 1990, and he had thought about opening his own for a long time. “I’ve been dreaming about it for 20 years and really just recently have been looking and planning on doing it when the time was right, and that’s what happened this year,” he said. He and his wife, Tanya, are coowners of the shop, he said. “It’s just a full-spectrum bicycle sales and service shop,” he said. “... We cater to triathletes as well.” He talked about what made the bike shop stand out. “What I think makes us different is there is a bar here and a

patio that is a great place for people and bike riders to spend time and hang out and have a cup of coffee or enjoy a drink while their bike’s being worked on or after a bike ride,” he said. Hamm also mentioned how spacious the store is. “I think a lot of bike shops are crowded, and we’ve got a lot of space where things are spread out, and it’s easy to shop,” he

said. “It’s easy to look around.” The business looks to have an open house and a grand opening in October, he said, but the business had a soft opening in July. “I think bicycles are the best, most fun way for people to do something that’s good for them, that is good for them but also makes them feel good and is part of the healthier lifestyle,” he said. “The more people ride, the

happier they are, so my goal is to help as many people as possible experience the joys of bike riding these days. We live in a great place for biking, and that’s part of why more and more people are doing it. And people like me firmly feel like once you start biking – you get yourself a good bike, and you start biking around here – you’ll only want to do it more.”

Allied Music Instructors marks 10 years ■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Allied Music Instructors celebrated its 10th anniversary in January. Jeff Comas and his wife, Laura, own Allied Music Instructors. “We put music in people’s lives,” Jeff Comas said. “We’re a school of music. We teach the popular instruments: guitar, piano, voice, drums and a lot of other instruments also, but those are the main ones that we teach, bass guitar also. We also have mandolin and banjo and brass and winds and strings. Now we have the main ones at both locations pretty much all times. The other instruments are more specialized, so we may not have each instrument at each location every day, but the main instruments we have six days a week at both locations.” Jeff Comas said the Farragut location, at 11161 Kingston Pike, suite 2, started in January 2003. The business added a West Knoxville location about four

years ago, he said. “We do music lessons,” he said. “That’s what our business is about: music lessons.” The business teaches 5-yearolds and up, he said. “Five to adult, we teach adults, but most of our clients are probably 5 to 15 years old,” he said. “... But we do teach adults. I do want to stress that. Any adults are cer-

tainly welcome.” The business also spans all skill levels. “Really beginners through advanced, most students that come to us are beginners or pretty early along when they first come to us,” he said. “We do get sometimes really good amateur players that want to improve their skills and sometimes even

professionals that are looking for some coaching, so really all levels. All of our teachers are very skilled and advanced players.” One class offered at Allied Music Instructors is a Rock Band Class, Jeff Comas said. “It’s a class for students where they can learn how to play as a band,” he said. “So one of us teachers will direct the class, and he or she will teach them how to play a few songs. And we have recitals at least twice a year where students who are in the Rock Band Class or just regular lessons can perform the music that they learned, so we make sure they get at least two chances to play the music that they learned in front of an audience per year.” He described the age and experience level of those in the Rock Band Class. “For the Rock Band Class, usually kids are about 9 or 10 at least and need to have a little experience on their instrument before they can join it,” he said. “And we group kids together by their age and their experience in any class that we do.”

Lady Admirals take down rival Bearden ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Farragut High School soccer player Joanda Parchman celebrated her 18th birthday in style Thursday n i g h t , Lady Admirals 6 Lady Bulldogs 1 Sept. 19. “This feels great,” said Parchman, a senior midfielder who scored a goal and had an assist in the Lady Admirals’ 6-1 District 4-AAA victo-

ry over rival Bearden at the Farragut Soccer Stadium. “It feels good beating Bearden one last time. “Maybe we’ll see them again [in the district and/or regional tournament] and that’s fine with me. I always like to play against Bearden.” It didn’t take long for Parchman to make an impact for the Lady Ads (7-1-3 overall, 2-0-2 in District 4-AAA). She scored the game’s first goal when she shot

with her left foot and beat Lady Bulldogs’ goalkeeper Katie Cottrell just 30 seconds into the contest. Farragut head coach Dennis Lindsay said that Parchman’s early maker set the tone for the match between West Knox County’s two bitter rivals. “It’s good to score one early,” Lindsay said. “We had to have this game and Bearden is a good team. They beat Oak Ridge and they’re ranked No. 3 in the state.”

The win was especially impressive considering Farragut entered the game having tied Maryville and Hardin Valley Academy in its first two district games before defeating Lenoir City. “We dug ourselves a hole with two ties so we had to win this game,” Lindsay said. The Lady Admirals put this one away early. Emma Jeter scored two consecutive markers to give the home team a 3-0 lead. Jeter tallied in the 23rd minute and

added another goal in the 37th to help Farragut open the advantage that it enjoyed at halftime. “We always come together [against Bearden],” said Jeter, a junior defender and forward. “It’s one of our biggest games. “We all worked really well together. We passed well and it’s good when I’ve got teammates who can win me the ball in the box.” See LADY ADS on Page 4B

Admirals fall to Rebels ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Farragut High School’s football team closed the first half of the season on a sour note Friday night. The Admirals dropped a 2516 decision to West High before a packed house at Bill Wilson Field. It was a long night from the outset for Farragut (2-3 overall, 1-1 in District 4West 25 AAA). The Admirals 16 first half was particularly miserable for the Admirals’ offense, Farragut was forced to punt three times in the opening 24 minutes. The Rebels (3-1, 1-1) also held FHS on downs and grabbed an interception to set up a touchdown. “In the first half, we just couldn’t get anything going,” Ads quarterback Bryan Phillips said. “We had penalties and turnovers and we shot ourselves in the foot.” Things could’ve been worse for Farragut had the Rebels not been flagged for 13 penalties, three of which negated touchdowns. “The story of this game was that they were able to overcome their penalties and we couldn’t,”

Phillips said after Farragut committed five penalties, which cost it 55 yards. Both squads sputtered during a scoreless first quarter. West got on the board early in the second quarter when junior running back Nathan Cottrell scored on a 56yard touchdown scamper with 9 minutes, 37 seconds remaining. A two-point conversion failed. Cottrell’s first touchdown run was set up when Trey Davis intercepted a pass from Phillips. Cottrell scored three touchdowns, including a 75-yard kickoff return that sealed the Rebels’ first district win. He had 165 carries on 11 carries. His runs were electrifying. “I didn’t know he could do that,” Phillips said of Cottrell, who had a TD called back late in the second stanza when West was whistled for an illegal block. The Rebels would eventually get points on that drive when Manny Ruiz kicked a 36-yard field goal with 16.1 seconds left in the first half. Farragut’s offensive attack finally came to life after halftime. The Admirals took the secondSee ADMIRALS on Page 3B

Maryville dominates Hawks ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

MARYVILLE — Whether or not Maryville’s personnel changes a little or a lot year to year, the mighty Rebels — topranked statewide in Class 6A — continue to annually dominate District 4-AAA opponents ad nauseam. It’s a streak that began years before Hardin Valley Academy became a school (2008), much less develop a varsity football team. Utilizing a no-huddle offense, MHS scored touchdowns on its first five possessions to build a 35-0 halftime lead against the

previously unbeaten Hawks. Rebels running backs Shawn Prevo and Jaylen Burgess ran wild, except when senior quarterback John Garrett was finding a variety of passing targets early and often. With HVA starting quarterback Nathan Maryville 49 White out with a Hawks 0 shoulder injury, Maryville (4-0) blanked the Hawks 49-0 at MHS’s Jim Renfro Field Friday, Sept. 20. “They come off the ball hard and they execute, that’s about it,” said HVA senior lineman Peyton Miles, whose Hawks fall to 3-1 overall, 1-1 in 4-AAA.

“Defensively, they run to the ball hard. They play hard. You have to play harder than them to win.” Elijah Lambert, Hardin Valley junior linebacker, said the Rebels “just played really hard and they just executed.” Wes Jones, HVA head coach, said Maryville “came out on fire on their defense and just really hit us right in the mouth.” Maryville “exposed a few things against us tonight,” Jones added. “… We knew early in the week we were going to have to make some commitments to either stopping the run or the pass, it was just a guessing game.

‘Dawgs overcome slow start, remain unbeaten in district ■ TONY MANILLA Correspondent

Don’t write off the Bulldogs just yet. After Bulldogs 26 a sluggish 1-3 start Lenior City 17 to a season brimming with expectations, Bearden (2-3, overall 2-0 in District 4-AAA) overcame a sub par first half to earn a vital 26-17 triumph over Lenoir City Friday night at Bill Young Field. “Winning is the cure for everything,” BHS offensive tackle and Appalachian State commit Chandler Greer said. The senior offensive tackle couldn’t have said it better. The win puts the Dawgs right back in the thick of the playoff race courtesy of an unblemished

District 4-AAA record. Despite being snake bit with injuries this fall, Bearden overcame its depth issues and found its groove on both sides of the ball when they needed it most. “We’ve got some injuries, seven starters out on offense and defense, but that’s no excuse,” Greer said. “I’m really proud of our guys, we dug down deep.” Greer and his fellow linemen consistently were able to open holes for running back Malachi Horton to work his weekly magic (98 yards on 16 carries and two TDs) and provide quarterback Xavier Johnson (12-of-16 for 168 yards, two TDs) with enough time to find open receivers downfield, despite the absence of senior tackle Caleb Bartlett. “Caleb Bartlett is a big piece of

our puzzle,” Greer said. “Credit to Blake Cosby, he’s sophomore that came in and has a ton of potential. He worked hard in practice and stepped up tonight, I was really proud of him.” Greer and Cosby helped Johnson make his mark on another second half offensive surge. The Central High School transfer willed his team back into the lead on two different occasions, hitting Horton and senior Emad Aqqad with two exquisite touchdown throws, along with tight end Matthew Marlow for critical first downs. The senior signal caller’s easy chemistry with Aqqad and Marlow forced the Panthers to account for a multitude of threats, taking the pressure off Horton, and was evident when Johnson found his tailback streaking wide open down the

seam for a 27-yard touchdown strike that put the Dawgs up 20-17 on the last play of the third quarter. “When I transferred in I got well acquainted with those guys,” Johnson said. “We worked hard over the summer running routes after practice and workouts, anything we could do get chemistry down and get time to get better, and it’s all paying off during the season.” While the offense continues to gel, the Bulldogs’ defense got its swagger back as the game progressed. After struggling throughout the evening to stop the Panthers’ read option attack, senior linebacker Kole Matherly and company regrouped in the fourth quarter, stonewalling LCHS on three straight drives, effectively sealing the win they so desperate-

ly needed. “This is huge, we knew we needed this win and had been preaching it all week,” Matherly said. “We came out fired up in the second half and stuck it to them.” The Bulldogs’ resurgent defense couldn’t have had better timing. A much needed bye week next Friday should provide the injury-plagued unit with some much needed time to heal, particularly junior linebacker/fullback Griffin DeLong, who had been nursing a foot injury. The Dawgs will need all the weapons at their disposal for a daunting playoff push, with four of their last five games away from home, including trips to West (31, 1-1 and perennial power Maryville (4-0, 2-0.)

Admirals

rendered a safety late in the game. Admirals coach Eddie Courtney was frustrated by his squad’s mistakes. “We just shot ourselves in the foot at times,” he said. Farragut has an open date this week before returning home to face Hardin Valley Academy on Oct. 4 to open the second half of the season. After its bye week, FHS will play four of its last five games at Bill Clabo Field. “The open date comes at a good time for us,” Courtney said. “We’ve been on the road four of the first five games this season, “When we come back, we’ll have five games left and they’ll all count [in the district standings] and it’s the same for everybody. We’ll have four of those five games at home and I think that will help.” After the Admirals host the Hawks, FHS will entertain Heritage before playing Bearden on the road on Oct. 17. The Ads close the campaign with consecutive home games against William Blount and Maryville.

half kickoff and engineered a 13play drive that consumed over six minutes. The drive stalled at the West 17-yard line and Farragut settled for a field goal from sophomore Carter Phillipy to make the score 9-3 at the 5:59 mark. The Rebels would answer when Cottrell reeled of a 42-yard scoring scamper two minutes later to make it 15-3. West went for two again and was stopped. The Ads pulled to within 15-10 late in the frame when Billy Williams scored on a 2-yard plunge. Then, things really got crazy. Williams added a 4-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter to give the Ads a 16-15 lead. A two-point conversion followed. It was successful but negated by a penalty. The second try failed. Cottrell then toted the ensuing kickoff to the end zone to make it 21-16. Rebels quarterback Seth Marshall ran in the conversion. Farragut lost a fumble and sur-

Maryville’s savvy enough to see what [defense] you’re in to make an adjustment and make a play. Hats off to what they did.” About HVA’s offense, “We’re pretty good up front, but we had difficulty blocking their front seven tonight,” Jones said. “They’re pretty daggoned good up front.” Despite the blowout, “Our guys played hard at times,” Jones said. “This is a huge step in competition from where we’ve played the first three weeks. This is the No. 1 team in the state.” Jones added that it’s “probable” that White will be ready to play against Catholic beginning at 7:30 p.m., Friday evening, Sept. 27, for Homecoming Night at HVA. Garrett said about Maryville’s potent attack, “We put in a nohuddle this year, kind of up tempo, so I think that’s kind of caught who all we’ve played so far off guard. Up-tempo, running a few new things this year. Our execution’s been pretty good.”

Lady Hawks stay undefeated

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

OAK RIDGE — The passing was generally crisp and the defense was superb, both areas of play holding up to the fire of stellar completion on the road, for Hardin Valley Academy’s No. 5 state-ranked Lady Hawks. “We’ve been struggling the last two games, playing more of an aggressive style soccer. But I thought tonight both teams were passing it, Lady Hawks 0 and it was a bit more Oak Ridge 0 the style we prefer to play,” said HVA head coach Mike McLean, who reflected on his girls’ scoreless tie versus No. 8 Oak Ridge at ORHS Thursday evening, Sept. 19. While Hardin Valley stayed unbeaten on the season after the tie (7-0-4), Oak Ridge stood at 71-3. “Our defense did a great job,” McLean said, adding that Oak Ridge attacking center midfielder Peyton McCollum “is a Division I player,” and Alexis Gonzales “up front is going to MTSU. They’ve got a lot of good attacking players. So we did well to keep it zero.” McLean singled out senior center defender Katie Filipowicz. “Katie is something every good team needs. Her leadership is the biggest quality about her, and her work ethic,” he said.

“She’s a leader on the field and the girls see that.” Filipowicz said that shutting out the No. 5 team in the state on its own home field, with all its Division I firepower, “Is such a big deal for us. And we’re still undefeated this season.” “I think our defense, our back line is outstanding,” she added.

“And we’re connecting so well and we can communicate so well in the back. “It’s just unbelievable how far we’ve come. We’ve got a sophomore and a junior as our center defense, and our outside backs are juniors. They’re really stepSee LADY HAWKS on Page 5B

The halftime intermission did little to slow the Lady Admirals’ potent offensive attack. FHS picked up where it left off. The sixth-ranked Lady Ads opened the second half with a flourish. Katie Beuerlein extended Farragut’s advantage to 4-0 in the 43rd minute when she took a corner kick from Parchman and promptly chipped it past Cottrell and into the back of the net. Katie Cloud added a goal four minutes later to make the score 5-0. “This feels great,” Cloud said. “Bearden is our rival and they’re a good team.” It was a big win for the Lady

Ads, who have battled illness and injury all season. “We’ve had to overcome adversity all year,” Cloud added. “It was very important that we won this game.” While Farragut scored in bunches, the Lady Bulldogs (11-2-1, 4-1) struggled all evening en route to suffering their first district loss of the 2013 campaign. Bearden head coach Eric Turner obviously was disappointed with the loss. “We lost to a better team tonight,” he said. “Farragut is a great team and they were prepared to play and we weren’t. “They came in here ready to play and we gave up three goals on corner kicks and you can’t do those things against a team like that.”

Irish, Warriors, Spartans victorious ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

It was a big night on the gridiron Friday for the three area private schools. Knoxville Catholic H i g h S c h o o l Fighting Irish 24 nabbed a Tyner Academy 6 24-6 road win over Tyner Academy in Chattanooga. Webb School of Knoxville routed defending Class 2A state champion Friendship Christian, Warriors 47 36-7, and Scott County 7 defending Class 3A state champion Christian Academy of Knoxville toppled S c o t t Spartans 36 County 47-7 in a Friendship Chrisitans 7 District 4AA tilt at Warrior Stadium. The Spartans (2-2) claimed their second consecutive win after getting off to an 0-2 start. Furthermore Webb, which has an

ping up.” Kelsey Klett, sophomore center fullback, said, “I thought our defense played so good. We kept them from scoring, and that’s always a good thing. We played solid.”

open date this week, knocked off a defending state champion in as many weeks. “We’ve played extremely well the last two weeks against Friendship Christian and CAK,” Spartans coach David Meske said. “This is the second time that we’ve beaten a state champion. “I’ve been really impressed with our defense and our offensive line is getting better every week.” Friendship Christian’s woes started before the game. The Commanders (2-2) arrived to East Tennessee late. The Spartans gave FCS an extra 10 minutes to warm up. Kickoff was pushed back to 7:40 p.m. But the defending Division II-A state champion Spartans didn’t seem to mind. Webb put up 22 points in the opening frame and added 14 more in the second stanza to open a 360 advantage by halftime. Matthew Melton opened the scoring with a 19-yard run and a

two-point conversion giving the Spartans an 8-0 lead. Robby Strachan and quarterback Johnny Chun added scoring scampers in the first quarter. Melton added a 25-yard touchdown run in the second stanza before Todd Kelly’s 4-yard plunge made it 36-0. Webb’s defense was stiff, allowing the Commanders just 77 yards (all on the ground) on this night. “Our defense was amazing,” Meske said. “We only allowed them one first down in the first half and that’s incredible.” Meanwhile in Chattanooga, the Irish improved to 4-0 with a 24-6 win over the winless Rams. Catholic’s defense has been stellar all season. The Irish forced six Tyner turnovers as Will Martinez, Dominic Souder and Logan Lacey all had interceptions. “We’re playing great defense,” Irish head coach Steve Matthews said. “We’re forcing turnovers.” “And on offense, we’re taking

care of the ball.” Catholic’s offense sputtered after halftime but the Irish did enough before the break to open a 24-0 lead. Eli Brown had a 24-yard scoring run and caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Zac Jancek. Lacey also had a 7-yard scoring plunge and Wyatt Price added a 32-yard field goal before Catholic’s offense suffered a second-half power outage. “We played horribly on offense in the second half,” Matthews said. “But that’s part of being young. “We don’t have a lot of returning starters on offense. We’re a long way from where we want to be but we’ll get there. Our offensive line is getting better, and the good thing about it is that all of our linemen are freshmen and sophomores.” At CAK, the Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak with a district win over the previously unbeaten Highlanders (4-1 overall, 1-1 in District 4-AA).

Warriors quarterback John Sharpe connected with Billy Spencer on three TDs. The duo accounted for scoring strikes of 83, 85 and 23 yards. Drew Jost rushed for three scores. CAK (2-3, 1-1) also scored a safety and got a long field goal from Stephen Neu. Spencer finished the contest with seven receptions for 247 yards. Cole Welch also had a 4-yard scoring plunge for the Warriors. CAK head coach Rusty Bradley was pleased to see his young squad bounce back after suffering three consecutive losses. “We were ready to play,” he said. “What I’m happy about is that our kids never quit. “Our guys have just kept working hard. The big thing about this game is that we were able to get some young kids a chance to play in the second half.” CAK, which has dominated the series against the Highlanders, held Scott to 212 yards of total offense.

Sub-standard finishing on several scoring opportunities, having a 15-8 shots-on-goal edge, was a disappointment to McLean. “We had been struggling to create chances, so this was our best night in a couple of weeks creating chances,” McLean said. “We just did not finish, we just did not

have the patience in the box to fire a good shot off.” Jason Schmieg, Oak Ridge head coach, said both teams

“had chances” to score. “It’s definitely not the outcome we wanted, but they’re a good team, so it’s always good to hang

with a team that’s undefeated,” he said. “… To see where we’re at at this point in the year.”

The chase for the farragutpress How the West was Won presented by 3 Minute Magic Car Wash trophy continued last week with three of the five area teams notching wins. Knoxville Catholic High School remained unbeaten with a road win over Tyner Academy in Chattanooga. Christian Academy of Knoxville snapped a threegame losing streak with a district win over Scott County. Bearden used a big second half to down Lenoir City. Hardin Valley Academy suffered its first loss of the season at Maryville and Farragut dropped a wild game at West High School. The Irish (4-0) kept its perfect record intact with a 24-6 victory over the Rams in Southeast Tennessee. Catholic’s defense has been stiff throughout the 2013 season and last week was no exception. Catholic forced six turnovers. Dominic Souder, Will Martinez and Logan Lacey each pulled in an interception. The Irish offense clicked early

holding the Hawks to just 84 yards of total offense. HVA gained just 14 yards on 21 rushing attempts. Jordan Jackson carried for 32 yards on 15 carries. The Hawks (3-1, 1-1) will try to bounce back this week when they entertain Catholic Friday night. The Admirals (2-3, 1-1) closed out a three-game road swing on a sour note Friday night at West High in a game where both teams were plagued by penalties and turnovers. The Rebels did just enough to earn a 25-16 victory.

West prevailed despite having three touchdowns negated due to penalties. Nathan Cottrell had all three of West High’s TDs, including a 75-yard kickoff return that sealed the win. Farragut got two touchdown runs from Billy Williams and a 34yard field goal from Carter Phillipy. The Ads, who have an open date this week, were held scoreless in the first half before rallying to take a 16-15 on Williams’ second scoring plunge.
