Farragut High School Football Homecoming 2017

About 20 residents attended a meeting to give input about Knox County Schools’ consideration to redraw boundaries of a pocket area affecting Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy. Knox County Schools officials were on hand for the meeting, which took place in Farragut High School Thursday, Sept. 21. “I didn’t hear a significant objection to doing a rezone, but I heard if you do it, let’s make sure that we have as broad a grandfathered program as we can so students and families who have an association with Hardin Valley can continue that association,” Russ Oaks, Oaks Knox County Schools chief operating officer, said. “It came up, an area of the Hardin Valley Academy zone that folks wanted us to consider moving back to Farragut,” Oaks added. It is bordered by Interstate 40/75 on the north, Kingston Pike on the south, Everett Road east and the county line on the west side. Three weeks ago, he said there were 169 students in the target area. “Currently because of a liberal transfer policy we’ve had in place for the last four or five years, 73 of those students currently are in Farragut High School,” Oaks said. “This [area] is currently zoned to Hardin Valley. Then 95 attend Hardin Valley Academy, so there are about 40 percent of the kids in this area who are already attending Farragut High School. “We want to talk about, if we were to rezone, what should grandfathering look like?” he added. “I would like to see our community brought back together again, but we do have a lot of families who have dedicated a lot of time at Hardin Valley and they deserve to stay there if they want to stay there,” Farragut Alderman Louise Povlin said. “I would hope you would grandfather them in, but our community needs to be whole See ZONING on Page 8A

“We lost the First Citizen of Concord,” said Mike Karnitz about his friend, Gene “Mac” Abel. Mac was the “face” of Historic Concord Village and a founder of the Farragut Folklife Museum. He passed away at the age of 96 on Monday, Sept. 18. He was known as a local historian due to his extensive knowledge of the community. Mac worked to form the Old Concord Residents Association and was part of a group that placed Concord on the National Register of Historic Places, the only historic zoning overlay district outside of Knoxville’s city limits. After a 33-year career at the University of Tennessee Libraries, Mac retired in Mac Abel 1978 as Associate Director. He was an active member at Concord Presbyterian Church. He also served in numerous volunteer capacities at Farragut Folklife Museum, Pleasant Forest Cemetery board, Concord Telephone Exchange board and in various alumni groups. Fred Wickert lived with the Abels in the 60s when he came as an exchange student from Brazil and has returned to visit a few times. “Mac was a person who knew how to listen, something we very often forget,” he said. “He would listen, explain, [teach], and learn, all in one. He always had time, and [took] pleasure to look for answers in a very structured and thoughtful way.” Doris Woods Owens grew up in Concord Village and knew Mac from a young age. “Several different times, my aunt would see Mac coming down the street from the grocery stores and would always alert us by saying, ‘Here comes Mackie.’” Owens recalled. “We stopped playing and rushed to the edge of the yard, all greeting, ‘Hi, Mackie.’ He was so friendly and returned our greeting. Then, TVA put a halt to those great times at our grandparents’ homes in Concord. Both the McNutt family and my parents lived on the south side of the railroad [which was flooded to create Fort Loudoun Lake].” “When it came to becoming Farragut, he embraced it,” Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill said. “Some people didn’t like the outcome, and it was largely the people who’d been there for a long time. Over the years, they’ve come to embrace it. In his case, he

After analyzing residents’ responses from a recent survey and public meetings, Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen has returned to the drawing board and

decided to do away with its tagline, “Live Closer. Go Further.” Originally, the vision statement read, “Farragut — a home, a destination, a connected community that lives closer and goes further.” During the Board’s strategic

planning retreat, held in Turkey Creek Medical Center Saturday, Sept. 16, Board members revisited residents’ reactions to the tag line and changed the vision to “Redefining a quality of life with a beautiful, close-knit, connected community where families and

businesses thrive.” The Board also changed its mission and values statement, which originally read, “Farragut — an appealing and engaged community set apart by a dedicated team committed to honesty, innovation and friendly service.” They re-

Concord Farragut Republican Club members heard encouraging state statistics from 7th District state Sen. Dr. Richard Briggs [R-Knox County/Farragut]. “We balance our budgets every year, and that’s something some of the states don’t do,” Briggs said as the club’s featured speaker during its monthly first-Thursday meeting in Knox County Sheriff’s Office’s West precinct Sept. 7. General Assembly also did away with the Death Tax, cut the

Hall Tax 4 percent, the Food Tax 1 percent and cut the Franchise and Excise Tax, making Tennessee competitive in attracting industries, he said. “We’re going to completely eliminate the Hall Tax over the next few years,” Briggs said. “We cut it 1 percent last year and 4 percent this year.” “That really is a fair way to do it,” said Farragut Alderman Louise Povlin, a meeting attendee. “Tennessee has the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded

With undeveloped land shrinking, Town to update CLUP â&#x2013; been formed in 2001. A committee including three members of Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Farragut Municipal Planning Commissioners plus Mark Shipley, Community Development director, had its first meeting on the subject Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 12, in Town Hall community room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much land left to develop in Town,â&#x20AC;? said David Smoak, Town administrator who is not on the committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Town of Farragut leaders are looking to better make use of increasingly scarce undeveloped land in an affordable way, while providing better ways to interconnect Town businesses, subdivisions and pedestrian foot and bike travel. The goal is to update the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Land Use Plan, last updated in 2012 after having

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about the responses,â&#x20AC;? Pinchok said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety-five percent were positive.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A high majority of the Town has the same vision,â&#x20AC;? Alderman Ron Williams said. Povlin added she was encouraged residents were â&#x20AC;&#x153;on boardâ&#x20AC;? with the Town Center concept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are excited about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Williams said what he gained from residents responses is they want more community activities on a more regular basis. Also, Pinchok said residents â&#x20AC;&#x153;feel they are living in a safe community but want more of a police presence.â&#x20AC;? Besides the statements, the Board came up with a number of initiatives: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Establish a dedicated funding mechanism [possibly a hotel tax] for tourism, marketing and capital infrastructure investment. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Establish a youth council. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expand opportunities to implement best practices for traffic calming. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hire a tourism coordinator to implement the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing plan. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Develop a detailed implementation plan for each phase of McFee Park development. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stabilize Campbell Station Inn and develop a plaza and road infrastructure. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Identify and prioritize the trail/sidewalk connectors that are needed to be a fully connected community.

they did not like or understand the tag line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised to have people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the logo,â&#x20AC;? Vice Mayor Ron Pinchok said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think [the logo] needs to be revisited.â&#x20AC;? Likewise, Alderman Louise Povlin said she was surprised by the number of residents who were not behind the logo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think, in an effort to make it all inclusive and expansive, maybe we went a step too far,â&#x20AC;? Povlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The residents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting it. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it. What are we trying to say? To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a close-knit, connected community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what closer means â&#x20AC;Ś closer to Knoxville, closer to what?â&#x20AC;? Pinchok said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems [itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] all those things.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to me that most people like the actual logo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tag line,â&#x20AC;? Sue Stuhl, Farragut Parks and Leisure Services director, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, the logo is what we spent most of the money on.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So you could lose â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Live Closer. Go Further?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Novak asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easily,â&#x20AC;? Stuhl answered. Concerning the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic plan, Povlin said the residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reactions â&#x20AC;&#x153;verified what I thought was going on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the feedback, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see most of the people were kind of on the same wavelength for the most part.â&#x20AC;?

important we get it right, whatever that may be. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we have the Future Lands Plan in place, Future Lands Map particularly, so if we want to go make adjustments, make changes to that.â&#x20AC;? In regard to developing a so-called downtown Farragut â&#x20AC;&#x153;as something unique to our community,â&#x20AC;? Smoak said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found trying to find people who want to develop something like that, that there may be somewhat of a separation be-

tween what is our vision and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financeable, what they can actually do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may be worthwhile to determine what we think mixed use [zones] should look like,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should we go vertical, should we do more horizontal?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a long time, we have to be really patient,â&#x20AC;? Shipley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all kind of want it to happen tomorrow. â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figuring out what would be workable. â&#x20AC;Ś A prioritization of

what we need to be doing in terms of land use to make this community something that is very unique and separates us from other areas around up.â&#x20AC;? He pointed to the Town â&#x20AC;&#x153;architectural design standardsâ&#x20AC;? in helping make that separation, using the Dollar General Store under construction along Kingston Pike near the intersection with Old Stage See CLUP on Page 5A

the officer’s walk-through with the complainant, several items were out of place throughout the house; however, complainant did not identify any missing items. Officer advised complainant to contact Teleserve Unit if he discovered something was stolen. • At 10:52 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 19, at Staybridge Suites Hotel, 11319 Campbell Lakes Dr., complainant advised an unknown suspect took her 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, with a value listed at $30,000. She advised the vehicle was locked and parked in the parking lot of the hotel. Complainant advised she had both sets of keys with her. She advised she already had filed a claim with her insurance company. • At 8:15 p.m., Monday, Sept. 18, complainant advised an unknown suspect stole a handgun, wallet, watch and knife [total estimated value listed at $1,350] out of his 2012 Volkswagen Jetta at Express Lube, 150 N. Campbell Station Road. He advised the vehicle was sitting outside of his work and the suspect gained entry because the vehicle’s doors were left unlocked. He was advised to call back with any serial numbers for the stolen items. • Around 6 p.m., Monday, Sept. 11, an Orchard Crossing Lane complainant said an unknown suspect stole $10,000 in cash, an $1,800 laptop computer and other items with a listed value of $280. Complainant said she and her family were moving to Mississippi, and were using a moving company to move their items. A suitcase, with the missing items inside of it, was sitting in the garage and was supposed to be put inside of the complainant’s vehicle. The complainant stated after a few hours of driving she went to look inside the suitcase and noticed it was not packed in the vehicle. Complainant contacted the moving company, which advised it might have been packed in the moving truck. Once the truck made it to its destination it was searched, but the suitcase was not inside. The company also sent a few more items a couple of days later but the luggage was not included.

Farragut High School principal Ryan Siebe, left, accepted a $22,000 donation from Farragut Mayor Ralph McGill during a Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting in Farragut Town Hall Thursday, Sept. 21. McGill also presented $22,000 to principals Gina Byrd of Farragut Primary School, Chris Henderson of Farragut Intermediate School and Weston Edmonds of Farragut Middle School. The mayor also presented $12,000 to Jerry Martin, president of FHS Education Foundation.

embraced from the beginning. He was one of the principals in getting the Farragut Folklife Museum started.” “I don’t think anyone realizes the wealth of information that left this earth when he was granted his wings into Heaven,” said longtime acquaintance Mona Isbel Smith. “You see, anytime I had a question on the history of this area, he was always my goto person. I could sit and listen to him talk for hours, just fascinated by everything that he knew and retained. “I prize his autographed book, ‘The Village of Concord, Where Time Stood Still,’ written by Mr. Abel and illustrated by his lovely wife [of 63 years, the late] Frances [Abel], Smith added. “Together, they were quite the team — always active in community and church events. It is an understatement when I say I will miss him. “As long as I live, there will be

times when I have a question and will want to turn to him for the answer. I just wish Heaven had email — but then maybe not.” “Although he was short in stature, he was a true spiritual giant,” said the Rev. Chuck Farmer, pastor of Concord Presbyterian Church. “The scriptures tell us that we will be known by our fruits. Mr. Mac bore the fruits of ‘love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control’ [Galatians 5:22] in such a way that to be with him made you want to be a better person. “He will be dearly missed, and often remembered by our congregation,” Farmer added. Mac grew up in Knoxville, and as a boy rode his bike from his house to Concord, where he spent weeks during the summer with both sets of grandparents. He stocked the stove at Concord Presbyterian Church with firewood during cold months and stood on his grandfather’s shoulders to ring the church bell. The magnolia tree he climbed

as a child still stands at Rocky Point Park off of Northshore Drive. Mac attended Old Knoxville High School, graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1943 and married Frances Larson Abel the following year. He served in the Navy from 1943 to 1946. After World War II, Mac’s parents purchased a home, built in 1866 and located at 10817 Third Drive in Concord. Mac and Frances and their two children, Bob and Carol, moved into an upstairs apartment and made their home in Concord. Mac attended the University of Chicago, where he earned his master’s degree in Library Science. Upon returning to Concord, Mac and Frances built a home at 10801 Third Drive and raised their family there. In 1973, when their children were grown, they returned to restore the family’s historic home. In the years that followed, they hosted many groups and coordinated tours for schools and orga-

• Please be aware that the red light at Parkside Drive and Turkey Cove Lane is a City of Knoxville red-light camera location. There isn’t any signage to indicate that the red light has become a camera red light. Recently the wait-time has been greatly extended traveling east and west on Parkside, even without cars waiting to exit the shopping area or Turkey Cove Lane. I agree that there isn’t any excuse to run a red light. Question: was the public notified through local media services that the red light was going to become a ticketed light? Was there a grace period given? Is it safe to have traffic backed up 10 to 20 cars waiting for the light to change when no cars are present to travel in the opposite direction? Yes I am most supportive and appreciative of our law enforcement. And yes I think they definitely need to be paid much more than they currently earn. But how much of the actual price of the ticket is paid to the red-light companies versus our local government.

nizations in the community. Mac continued to live in the family home in Concord and attend Concord Presbyterian Church until his final days. His daughter and two of his granddaughters now live in the village with their families. He is survived by son, Bob Abel; daughter, Carol Russell; five grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and three great-greatgrandchildren. Friends are invited to leave a comment on the “Share a Memory” tab at www.clickfh.com. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Concord Presbyterian Church. Also preceding Mac in death are parents, L. Claude and Jean McNutt Abel, and sisters, Anne Mary Abel Akana and Carol Madison Abel. Visitation and the memorial service were held in Concord Presbyterian Church Saturday, Sept. 23, with his son, the Rev. Bob Abel, and the Rev. Chuck Farmer officiating.

in the history of Tennessee since we have been working here,” Briggs said. Briggs said Tennessee has the lowest debt per person of any state in the country, around $900 per person. “Part of that reason is we are a pay-as-you-go state for our roads,” he said. The state also has increased its rainy-day fund to around $800 million, Briggs added.

Additionally, he said the state had a revenue surplus from last fiscal year, giving the state $1 billion in reserves. “This year, we had nearly $2 billion of excess,” Briggs added, but noted that $1 billion was onetime monies. In education, “We’re the fastest improving state in the country,” Briggs said. “I believe in 2008 or so, we were 47th. I said [then], ‘thank God for Mississippi and Louisiana or we would be dead last.’” However, Briggs said he is hear-

ing from businesses that can’t hire people because they are failing drug tests, mostly for marijuana and opioids. The crisis also is affecting education: when babies born with opioid dependence become kindergartners, they are found to have developmental and behavioral deficiencies, which special education departments aren’t equipped to handle, he said. “This has become such a huge problem that President Donald Trump has declared a state of emergency,” Briggs said.

Drew Carson, right, FMPC and Comprehensive Land Use Plan revision committee member, looks at some notes. Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Ron Pinchok, committee member, and Jack Coker, CLUP committee student representative, react to a humorous comment.

Road as one example. “I think that is one of the best things that we’ve done as a community is to get those [standards] in place. “It requires more masonry, more brick and stone. More traditional timeless-looking buildings that are more adaptable to changes in the future,” Shipley added after the meeting. “A good example of what’s not connected is to go to the most recent stuff that’s been built in Lenoir City,” Alderman Ron Williams, committee member, said about that city’s commercial property after the meeting. “You go into one lot, but to get to an adjacent lot you have to get right back out on the road.” Williams also pointed out Oak Ridge. “They’ve got that new strip center there, and you’ve got Aldi’s, and there’s a wall inbetween,” he said about the lack of lateral connection between the two. “Lenoir City and Oak Ridge, they’re not connecting as they grow,” Williams added. Another goal is to connect Town subdivisions without having to use the main road. That’s unlike motorists wishing to visit adjacent subdivisions along Grigsby Chapel Road, Shipley said, “where they have to come out on Grigsby Chapel Road. They don’t have enough lateral opportunities,” therefore putting more traffic on Grigsby Chapel. Shipley and other committee members said feedback from a questionnaire survey, in which residents responded with their views

on land use, came back strongly in favor of expanding and connecting greenways and walking trails. With these falling under the category of “rights-of-ways,” Shipley said, “Our most valuable public asset is our rights-of-ways, in my opinion. What we do with those rightsof-ways I think is very critical.” Overall, “I don’t want to get bogged down at looking at too many things at once,” he added. About formulating the new CLUP, “It’s going to take some time … I think several months,” Shipley said. “… This is a tough thing to tackle.” “We need to be looking at these parcels and we need to be more purposeful about what we’d like to see and hold onto a vision,” Alderman Louise Povlin, a committee member, said. Drew Carson, committee and FMPC member, said one key is “keeping the Town feel that we have now, but be sure to plan for the future in how we use our land.” Povlin cited a problem concerning new development. “I feel like when new development comes in, we change our plan pretty easily,” she said. “We don’t take a birdseye view of what it is we are doing. My example would be Swan Farm [off Union Road].” Shipley cited “aging shopping centers” the Town may have to deal with, adding “large big-box retail buildings are going to have to be repurposed. They are not the future. “We’re going to have to figure out how we do that,” he added. “The [CLUP] really needs to be our guide. Maybe we consider mixed-used? “… It’s very different than it was 10 years ago.”

Professional meat cutters from the region’s Texas Roadhouse restaurants displayed their carving skills in Farragut last week. Fifteen meat cutters from Texas Roadhouse’s House Market, which operates 10 restaurants in the region, lined up to compete in a regional contest in Cool Sports Home of the Icearium Tuesday, Sept. 12. James Bailey of Knoxville took home firstplace honors and Brennan Ponder of Chattanooga earned second place. Both advance to compete in the National Meat Cutting Challenge March 6 and March 7, 2018, in Orlando, Florida. It will include 545 restaurants nationwide. Top finisher in that competition will receive $20,000. “[The regional meat cutters] are from all over East Tennessee,” said Tom Beem, product coach for Houser Market, which is owned by Texas Roadhouse. Beem said Texas Roadhouse has held the regional competition at Cool Sports for the past three years. See MEAT CUTTING on Page 7A

Mark McKinney, owner of East Tennessee Aesthetic Medicine, has expanded and opened a second location at Elite Suites Salon Studios. McKinney, who also has a location in Seymour, opened the Farragut location in the studios, 10536 Kingston Pike, Tuesday, Aug. 15. East Tennessee Aesthetic Medicine offers cosmetic fillers — injectables such as Juvéderm, BOTOX [onabotulinumtoxinA] and Kybella — microneedling and plasma-rich hair restoration.

The practice also offers typical aesthetic services such as facials; microderm abrasions; Latisse, which promotes eyelash and eyebrow growth; eyebrow and eyelash tinting; waxing and medical-grade chemical peels, McKinney said. “We are one of the few places in the area that utilizes PRP,” he added, explaining PRP is “stem cells and growth factors that are derived from the patients’ own blood and concentrated through a special process and then we re-inject that back into the affected area. “PRP works in a number of arSee ET on Page 7A

eas and has been used for years in professional athletes who have had injuries. In more recent years, it has been used by a lot of Hollywood elites for cosmetic purposes.” Microneedling, he explained, is a device used to induce collagen production in the skin. McKinney said medical-assisted weight loss is being added to the practice’s services. Included in that service is phentermine, a stimulant-type pill that improves energy and enhances metabolism. The practice carries the ZO skin care line and “we have a line we developed, Skin Regenix,” he said. East Tennessee Aesthetic Medicine has been in Seymour since last year. “We were approached to expand to the Farragut area,” McKinney said. “Sean and Kim [Hennessy, owners of Elite Suites Salon Studios] knew about us from [his Seymour practice] and asked us if we

would be interested in expanding over here. “Plus, we already had quite a few patients from Farragut who were coming to Seymour,” he added. McKinney has been a physician’s assistant since 2014. He started training in hair restoration surgery under Dr. Jack Fisher, a world-renowned plastic surgeon performing hair transplant surgery in Nashville. “I trained under him and began working for NeoGraft [Automated Hair Transplant System], and I was traveling with them, doing hair restorations for plastic surgeons,” McKinney said. “At the same time, when I wasn’t doing that, I was working for [University of Tennessee Medical Center], doing urgent care and also some primary care as well [at UT], which I continue to do. “But, I really like surgery; I really like aesthetics,” he added. “Those are things I’m really passionate about and that’s what prompted me to open this business.’

“My son was involved with the indoor soccer at Cool Sports for many years, so I was aware of the ice skating rink,” he said. “When we cut meat in our stores we are in a walk-in cooler that is maintained at 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

When we have that many people cutting at one time, we need a large area that is cold so [the competitors are] close to the rink, [and holding the event at Cool Sports] just works well.” Beem said contestants were judged on best yield of three cuts: sirloin, filet and rib eye. “[The winner of] each muscle [cut]

got $100 for the best yield,” he said. Following the national competition, Texas Roadhouse will hold a fundraiser to benefit Give Kids The World, during which the company will grill the hand-cut steaks prepared during the competition.

again. It’s time. Hardin Valley is doing well. Within the next couple of years, you are going to have a lot of kids with all the houses that are going up at Hardin Valley.” Art Haugh, who lives in a new

community just to the west of Everett Road, said he and wife, Marea, moved to that location so their daughters could attend HVA. “What we ask is that you maintain the liberal [transfer] policy that you have right now,” Haugh said, adding he would be responsible for his daughters’ transporta-

tion to and from HVA. “We have a daughter who will be a rising junior and a daughter who will be a freshman next year, and we would appreciate the opportunity to stay in HVA. We really like it there.” Povlin said the zoning issue is impacting the sale of homes in Fox

Run subdivision. “I know, in Fox Run, two houses did not sell because [the potential buyers] weren’t sure if they were going to go to Farragut [High School]. They didn’t want to go to Hardin Valley,” she said. “The reason we bought our house is solely because of the STEM pro-

gram at Hardin Valley,” Haugh said. “I did just want to clarify, on the STEM thing in particular, Farragut is the only school in Knox County that has integrated instruction STEM certification, which is the most comprehensive certification,” Ryan Siebe, FHS principal, said.

Fitzgerald’s child sports lessons have a long life

CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com

Lacey Fitzgerald’s days are filled with miniature tennis racquets and golf clubs, and she loves teaching the basics of those sports to children ages 3 to 10. Fitzgerald is a 1997 Farragut High School graduate, the mother of two children and owner of Club Sports 4 Kids. She played tennis recreationally off and on through high school and college, played on the FHS volleyball team and on a See 4 KIDS on Page 4B

When the moody holiday song “What Are You Doing New Years’ Eve?” plays this winter, Farragut High School alumnus Megan Wheat will have an answer — for New Year’s Eve 2019. She won’t be at the ball drop in downtown Knoxville or at the midnight parade in Gatlinburg. She’ll be in a cozy bed somewhere in London getting her beauty sleep before the big day. Early on New Year’s Day 2019, she’ll gather with other dancers from East Tennessee. They’ll wait — nervously, no doubt — for their cue to clog their way through

Central London through Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus, Lower Regent Street, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, Cockspur Street, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and Parliament Street. “My team, the Tennessee Hoedowners, and some other teams around us have been invited to go with America’s Clogging All-Stars to London to dance in the New Year’s Day Parade in 2019,” Wheat said. “My team went this past year and did it and have been invited to come back. I didn’t get to go this past trip, but I’m definitely making sure I go this coming time.” Wheat got her start in clogging when she was unexpectedly invited onstage about 28 years ago.

“We were at Dollywood one time when I was 5 or 6,” she said. “My cousin was onstage clogging with a group she danced with. I didn’t know she did this. They were doing a hoedown where they got the crowd involved and she came and got me to go onstage with her and do a little impromptu hoedown. “I thought, ‘I really want to do that.’ It kind of sucked me in.” She started taking classes at a studio in Farragut from Christina Dudley. “She got us started competing the second year,” Wheat said. “We were the ‘Southern Sweethearts.’ My first competition outfit was one of those Dollywood dresses with the crinoline, very frilly, with all the

white lace — and red. I still have that dress and the crown. It’s very little. We did the Dogwood Arts Festival, competitions at Dollywood. Those were the most local ones we did.” Through the years she has participated in about 200 competitions all over the Eastern half of the United States, including a Junior Olympic competition in Michigan. Wheat is now a medical assistant, but she’s also an athlete who manages some knee and ankle problems. “Kinesiology tape is my new best friend,” she laughed. In spite of those problems, she hopes to compete for many years. See WHEAT on Page 3B

Hyams presents ‘state of the Jones’ UT Football address to Farragut Rotary

■

ALAN SLOAN editor@farragutpress.com

The Tennessee Volunteers have a huge opportunity to erase lots of negativity, which grew deep roots among the UT fan base after that “Hail Mary” loss at Florida. An upset win versus unbeaten and top-10 nationally ranked Georgia this Saturday, Sept. 30, in Neyland Stadium might do the trick. Serving as featured speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s Wednesday, Sept. 20, meeting, Jimmy Hyams addressed head coach Butch Jones’ job performance, job security status, the 2017 team strengths and weaknesses and the general direction of the program. “I think the biggest game now for this team is Georgia. Gotta beat Georgia,” said Hyams, an awardwinning sportswriter, journalist and radio talk show co-host in Knoxville — and 2011 inductee into the Ten-

nessee Sportswriters Hall of Fame — who has covered UT Football since 1985.. “If you don’t beat Georgia you’re not going to be in the East Division race and the attendance is going to continue to sag,” Hyams added. “ … If attendance starts to sag, that’s one of the worst things that can happen to a coach.” Looking back to Florida, “I think four years in a row [UT has] really out-played Florida and they’ve only won one,” Hyams said. “They’ve got to do a better job of closing games. They’ve got to do a better job coaching in key moments.” As for offense, “I am one who hates going into the shotgun from the 1 yard line or third-and-short,” Hyams said, noting that highly respected offensive coaches such as David Cutcliffe, former Vols offensive coordinator and current head coach at Duke, do this. “… I’ve expressed my opinion to Butch Jones;

Farragut-hosted Authors Guild of Tennessee meeting open to all ■ CAROLYN EVANS

cevans@farragutpress.com

Nadine and Elmore Richmond saw an announcement for the Authors Guild of Tennessee meeting in Farragut and decided to give it a try. “We’ve only been in the area for three days, and this is the first activity we’ve participated in,” Elmore said. They were part of a group of about 40 writers at a recent monthly meeting in Faith Lutheran Church along Jamestowne Boulevard, where the speaker was Sharon Higa, a guild member who writes fantasy, horror, zombie, apocalypse and ghost stories. “We always have a speaker,” said Cheryl Peyton, guild chairperson for retail sales. “And the public is welcome to come to our meetings. We had Sharon Higa, one of our own who officially became a member in July. She introduced herself and her genre. She talked about how she started writing and why she’s in that genre. She’s psychic herself, she told us. She’d be the only psychic in the group that I know of.” Members come from Farragut and all over the surrounding area. Farragut resident Judy Egner is a crime writer who often goes by her penname, “Kaye George.” Jennifer Hultz is a nurse anesthetist at Turkey Creek Medical Center who has published a children’s book, “The Adventures of Hopkins.” “The main purpose is to provide marketing opportunities and education to people who are local authors,” said member Laura Derr, author of “Nick and Viola,” the story of the tobacco wars in Kentucky in the early 1900s. “For many of us, this is our first book or we’re self-published. We don’t have a network based on working with a professional publisher. This has grown over the last few years to help us learn to use so-

cial media and retail,” she added. “Our mission statement is to market our books,” Peyton said. “Some independently published and some published by conventional publishers. We’re in a sea of books — Amazon has more than 1.8 million soft-cover books on their site and 700,000, 800,000 titles on Kindle. We help make a presence by marketing our books together. It gives us a certain presence in stores and so on that we wouldn’t have as individuals. “I wrote my first book on a dare,” Peyton added. “I met a former federal agent at Y-12. He told me about the transfer of weapons and fissile material. I read a short story he’d written on the subject. I said, ‘I’m

sorry, but it’s not very good.’ He was calling the characters ‘Guy 1’ and ‘Guy 2’ and having them ‘pop up’ from behind the truck. He said, ‘OK, you write it.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ Adding her own touch, “I introduced a female federal agent,” Peyton said. “I wrote the first chapter and thought ‘This is pretty good. I wonder what happens next?’ I had it published 115,000 words later. I think I sent it to an agent once, who said it needed to be in a different format. What I didn’t know about was vanity press. I sent it somewhere else and they were glad to publish it — with my money. I got it back from them and self-published.” Peyton now has self-published seven books and is writing the

eighth. “I thought it was a very good meeting,” Elmore said. Elmore Richmond has written several books including “End of Terrorism in the United States: God Warned Us.” His wife, Nadine Richmond, is the author of “The New Birth: Going Unto Perfection.” “They gave out a lot of good information about how to promote your book once you have it published,” Elmore said. “The members have different things they’re involved in like marketing, book cover design. ... Anybody who might be an author out there and is looking for an organization to be involved in, this would be a good group.” “There’s a big push to put our

books in local shops,” Egner said. “Cheryl puts in bookcases and we fill them with our books. The books are on average $15 for soft cover. We also have a few hardcovers.” Currently, books are available at American Commissary Gift Shop, 1211 E. Broadway in Lenoir City; Knoxville Soap, Candles and Gifts, 5201 Kingston Pike Suite 3; Locally Grown Gallery, 109 Towne Road, Oak Ridge; McGuire Books, CDs, DVDs & More, 240 S.

2nd Pray Farragut draws more than 50 at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church hosted a second Pray Farragut event on the grounds of the church, 12916 Kingston Pike, Sunday, Sept. 10, to seek change, create a culture of kindness and a culture of revival. Among the more than 50 who attended to pray, from left in front, were Nathan Pifer, Erin Pifer and Chris Pifer. Other participants included Angie Lyle, (green top behind Erin), and Ann Stevens (white top behind Chris). The event was started by Terri Tucker, a Farragut High School parent, in response to the deaths of four FHS students, three of whom died as a result of suicide, during spring 2017 semester. Speakers included the Rev. Seth Hammond, CCPC senior pastor; the Rev. Larry Trotter, Concord United Methodist Church lead pastor; Danny Matthews, Two Rivers Church prayer/care pastor; Victor Lee, First Baptist Concord pastor of care and counseling; Tucker; Lyle, an FHS parent, and Susan Horn, Knox County Board of Education District 5 representative (includes Farragut) and CCPC member.

Wheat From page 1B

“The team I’m on now, the Tennessee Hoedowners, we meet in Surgoinsville, about a two-hour drive from here, and practice once a week.” Her team includes moms, teachers, an assistant principal, those in the medical field and a high school student. “We just came back from nationals with National Clogging and Hoedown Council,” Wheat said. “There are four organizations who each have their own nationals, so you compete throughout the year and depending on how you place determines whether you get to go

to nationals.” Wheat doesn’t necessarily practice clogging every day, but if you catch her standing still, she might start doing steps absentmindedly. “If we’ve got a new routine, I’ll have a video of it on my phone and I’ll watch it once a day or running through the steps in my head,” she said. “Competitions used to involve a lot of adrenaline. Now I don’t get nervous unless it’s a brand-new routine we’ve never done and we’re on edge at least for the first time. I still love the dance part,” she said. “It’s increasingly difficult because everybody keep coming up with new things to do and the footwork gets more and more complex. As

soon as your brain and your feet connect — ‘I did it.’ “The clogging world is a huge family,” she added. “You get to go and see all your friends you’ve made over the years at the different competitions. They live in other states. That’s the upside to all the traveling and sitting at competitions until the wee hours of the mornings.” Things have changed a lot since Wheat started at the age of 5. Now cloggers are dancing to hip-hop music in addition to Top 40 songs and the costumes are no longer the fluffy dresses. She knows what she’ll be doing New Year’s Eve 2019. But will the team be dancing through London in crinoline?

CBFO softball team. She graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in communications, worked in sales and then went back to school to become a surgical technician. When Fitzgerald became a mom, she began to look for sports programs for her two sons [now 10 and 7]. “I was looking for programs in tennis and golf, and this area just didn’t have a lot to offer without having to join a club or pay for a membership somewhere,” she said. Need is the mother of invention. “I went and trained in Atlanta with a guy who’s been doing this program for about seven years,” she said. Fitzgerald said it’s not a franchise [the original company in Atlanta has a completely different name]. “It’s a business opportunity kind of thing. He showed me what to do,” she said. “It’s curriculum based, so we primarily set up at daycares, afterschool programs, public schools, private schools, mother’s-day-out programs and we’re going to start doing birthday parties here soon,” Fitzgerald added.

Working with children ages 3 to 10, Fitzgerald employs a few trained coaches to work with her. “It’s just like an introductory class that the kids can get excited about,” she said. “We want more kids playing tennis and not being afraid or being overwhelmed. They kind of compete with each other. We make it fun and they’re excited to come and play. We teach them the basics — the forehand, the backhand, the serve.” She works with children both one-on-one and in a group setting. Fitzgerald and one of her assistants were at Morning Star Daycare in Farragut a few weeks ago as a class of 3-year-olds poured out into the play area. The children rushed straight for the contain of racquets and lined up on both sides of a short net made just for them. They waited for their turn to have a lime green and pink oversized tennis ball gently tossed to them. “The kids love it,” she said. “I started back in the spring, and I’m finding that most schools work a season ahead. Everybody was already working on summer. Morning Star was one of the daycares that allowed me to come in. “Twenty-five kids signed up for the very first class,” Fitzgerald

added. “Goddard School is another one, and the Knoxville Jewish Community Center.” Cost to participate varies according to the number of weeks. This fall the nine-week session is $180 and sessions vary between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on age and the number in the class. For more information, go to clubsports4kids.com or call Fitzgerald at 865-245-0352.

won three bowl games [3-0 under Jones].” Moreover, “They have done really good things off the field,” Hyams added. “The behavior is much better than before he got here. The academics have improved dramatically, more players on academic honor rolls, more players making a [minimum] 3.0 GPA. “The question for Butch Jones is: can he get Tennessee to the next level? Can he get Tennessee where it wants to be? And where Tennessee wants to be is winning the [SEC] East Division; where Tennessee wants to be is winning the SEC [championship]. Tennessee hasn’t won the East since 2007, hasn’t won the SEC since 1998.” For those wanting Jones fired, Hyams said the contractual buyout “is between $6 [million] and $8 million. The buyout for the staff is well over $5 million.” To hire a “big-name” head coach and also agree to pay his staff perhaps more than Jones’ staff currently makes, “when you put all those numbers together, the total cost” to fire and hire “is well over

$25 million,” Hyams said. However, Hyams said he thought Jones “was on the hot seat” entering this season, because “if Tennessee implodes and has a bad year they could make a change. “But I don’t think John Currie [UT athletics director] wants to do that,” Hyams added. As for recruiting, “Butch Jones has done a very nice job,” Hyams said, addiing Tennessee currently is ranked No. 5 nationally and No. 1 in the SEC [according to ESPN]. Of those commitments, “nine players in the state of Tennessee are committed,” Hyams said, adding most of UT’s out-of-state commitments for the Class of 2018 are in the states of Georgia and Florida. If Jones is fired, “That class could very well implode,” he said. About this season’s team, Hyams said, “Tennessee has talent, but they don’t have difference-makers. They have some good players, but they don’t have guys that could change the course of a game.” Hyams then said John Kelly, Vols junior running back who led the SEC in rushing after three weeks, “is in that class … I love John Kelly, I think he’s terrific. I think he has a chance to lead the SEC in rushing.”

Having ‘Faith’ at FHS

Alan Sloan

Signing a two-year contractual agreement with Farragut High School and Knox County Schools earlier this year to be allowed to use school facilities for Sunday and Wednesday worship, non-denominational Faith Promise Church invested roughly $200,000 into the school, which allowed FHS to buy badly-needed video equipment for the school’s Vickie B. Wells Auditorium. Equipment purchased included projectors, projector screen, lighting and sound equipment. (Above) Standing above the projectors and new lighting are the Rev. Zac Stephens, left, Faith Promise FHS campus pastor, and Ryan Siebe, FHS principal. Before the improvements, “We have not been able to have really feasible programs in this auditorium,” Siebe said. Faith Promise has 10 worship locations serving about 8,000 worshipers of all economic levels the past 20 years. Locations include Costa Rica and two inside of prisons plus six others in the Knox County metro area. The church’s sixth-grade through-adult attendees hold Sunday worship services at 10 and 11:30 a.m. in the auditorium, while elementary-age children’s services are held in FHS Commons. The youngest children gather in the school’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. Wednesday “Student Ministry” service for sixth-graders through high school seniors begins at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. Services began in August. Law enforcement security is on hand at every service.

Citizens sound off at meetings on Town strategic plan ■ TAMMY CHEEK

tcheek@farragutpress.com

A dozen Farragut residents gave their input about Town of Farragut’s strategic plan during an informal public meeting last week. Some said they wanted high-quality retail to ﬁll and renovate vacant commercial centers, while others wanted to develop a Town Center, add a downtown parking garage or develop a major road plan.

“What would you like to see Farragut become?” Town administrator David Smoak asked. “Pedestrian friendly … better connected,” attendee Carol King said. “Less cars.” Robin Hill said he would like to see more technology companies moving into Farragut to create more employment. Larry Whiteside said while growth is inevitable, he thinks it is important “to maintain what we’ve got, the thing that attracted

us all here.” The gathering, which took place in Farragut Town Hall Tuesday, Aug. 29, was one of two public meetings to give Town leaders input on its strategic planning process. Six residents attended the ﬁrst meeting, which took place Monday, Aug. 28. “We’re having a very good response [to a survey] online,” Smoak said. “We had these meetings for people who wanted to speak in person.”

He said the Town has had a strategic plan for several years. “Every year, we update it on the year’s goals, objectives and things Smoak we want to get accomplished for those years, but this year we want to go back,

test the plan and ﬁgure out what do we need to do. You’re here tonight to let us know if we are on the right track,” Smoak said. In reference to the Town’s vision statement: “Farragut — a home, a destination, a connected community that lives closer and goes further,” Smoak asked the gathering, “I’d like you to talk about what that means to you, to live closer and go further?” See STRATEGIC on Page 2A

When Ernie Trebing rolled into Knox County in 1977, he didn’t know what to expect. All he knew was he would be meeting with a group of parents interested in starting a Christian school. For a long time, parents Jack and Carolyn Rice had been thinking about a Christian school. Their son, Dean, was about to start second grade. For several years, they and some friends from Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church had started talking about how nice it would be to have a Protestant Christian school in Knoxville. Those conversations had gotten more intense as the couples met at one another’s homes to pray about a school.

Finally, the day came and they met Trebing, the prospective headmaster at what would become Christian Academy of Knoxville, face-to-face. “He said, ‘How many students do you have?’ and we said, ‘One,’” Carolyn Rice recalled recently, as CAK celebrates its 40th anniversary. “The board had said, ‘Before we interview this man, sign your kids up.’ It was a long, time-consuming application and we had struggled to get it done. The others just hadn’t gotten it done yet.” “Trebing said, ‘Where are you planning to meet?’” Rice said, “And we said, ‘We don’t know exactly.’ We were looking at a couple of prospective properties. Different couples and one grandparent met with him that weekend and took him to dinner. Trebing said he’d pray about it, but he

eventually came. He was just very open to this challenge.” Rice said they told Trebing they were praying for 100 students by the end of the year in 1977. They met that goal. The school that started in the Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church building now sits on a 77-acre campus at 529 Academy Way, just off Dutchtown Road, in West Knoxville. Instead of a handful of students, the liberal arts school that houses pre-kindergarten through high school Carolyn Evans students has an enrollment of about Carolyn Rice and her husband, Jack, 1,000, which represents 146 churches. The average ACT score is 28.

Laine speech: state level shift has impact on Town Chuck Laine, president of Laine Communications and lobbyist for Town of Farragut, with Chris Camp, president of The Rotary Club of Farragut, after Laine’s speech during RCF meeting in Fox Den Country Club ballroom Wednesday, Aug. 30. Tammy Cheek

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Tennessee’s General Assembly has seen a shift in its leadership in the past 10 years, both in the senate and state house, as various members have moved on to higher aspirations, retired or taken other political positions. “In the last 10 years, the legislature has changed from people being there forever to where, today, there is less than one-fourth of the people who were there 10 years ago,” said Chuck Laine,

president of Laine Communications and a registered lobbyist who represents Town of Farragut. He was featured speaker during The Rotary Club of Farragut’s regular noon Wednesday meeting Aug. 30 in Fox Den Country Club ballroom. “We’re kind of losing our leadership in the senate,” he added. As a result, “The laws they’re enacting are really a detriment to cities,” David Smoak, Town administrator and RCF past president, said after the meeting. “They are taking away our author-

Ads look to avoid ‘Science lesson’ Friday Williams’ defensive touchdowns save Farragut vs. West

Explosive No 8-ranked Science Hill visits No. 3 FHS with region top spot at stake

A “good coaching” six points and a “take it from the receiver’s hands” six points, that’s how Alex Williams described his two defensive touchdowns — providing all but two of Farragut’s 14 points in a win versus West last Friday. “At practice, our coaches do a really good job of coaching us up on those screens,” said Williams, a senior outside linebacker, after his 32-yard interception-turned-touchdown of a Runnin’ Rebels screen pass in the third quarter became the first FHS points. Thanks in large part to Williams, the state’s No. 3-ranked Class 6A Admirals overcame a 9-0 halftime deficit to stay unbeaten at 6-0, winning 14-9 in Eddie Courtney Stadium/Bill Clabo Field Sept. 22. “Whenever I saw it form I just tried jumping on it and I got it. And it was just green from there,” he added. On the second turnover-turnedtouchdown, an apparent forced fumble after a West reception at the Runnin’ Rebels 49 late in the third quarter, “I was a little late on my drop and I saw him catch it and I just took it out of his hands,” Williams said about his steal and 49yard TD run. “Then I heard one of my teammates yell ‘run,’ so I ran.” Holding penalties helped slow the Admirals’ offense, including one that nullified a 21-yard touchdown pass on a dump-off from Jake Evans, junior quarterback, to Isaiah Gibbs, junior running back, late in the third quarter.

Farragut High School’s football team will face its toughest test to date when it returns to action Friday night, Sept. 29. The state’s No. 3-ranked Class 6A Admirals [6-0 overall, 2-0 in Region 1-6A] will resume their league schedule when they host No. 8 Science Hill [5-1, 2-0] in a huge region game at Eddie Courtney Stadium/Bill Clabo Field. Farragut will put its 18game winning streak on the line against a high-powered Hilltoppers squad. Things won’t be easy for the 2016 Class 5A state champions. “They can score a lot of points,” Admirals head coach Eddie Courtney said. “They’re a

very good and very athletic football team. They’ve scored over 60 points twice. “They’ve scored 35 twice and they had 50 points in their other win,” he added. “They have some good running backs, they have some really good receivers and they have a very good, very athletic quarterback and he likes to run with the ball.” Science Hill enters Friday night’s region tilt having won its two regional games over Bearden [35-21] and Tri-Cities rival Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett [35-14]. Opening its 2017 campaign with a 50-25 victory over Elizabethton, Science Hill continued to pour on the points while beating Ooltewah, 62-35, before routing Daniel Boone 63-6 last week. Science Hill suffered its lone setback of the season when it dropped a 42-26 decision to Class 4A powerhouse Greeneville. “Defensively, we’re going to have to play assignment football,” Courtney said. “They run out of the gun and pistol attack. They have good athletes on the field and they do multiple things out of the gun and the pistol. In a game like this, you have to do your job. You can’t bump down and try to help somebody else.” Jaylan Adams, Science Hill’s senior quarterback, is a savvy veteran with athletic ability according to Courtney. “He’s a great athlete and he’s a senior,” Courtney said. “He played and started for them last year.” The longtime coach also said his Admirals understand the importance of this game.

Hill’s late goal beats Bearden, keeps Lady Ads soccer sizzling

The Bearden-Farragut girls soccer rivalry may not have the luster it once had, since the Lady Bulldogs and Lady Admirals are no longer District 4-AAA foes. But that doesn’t mean the game no longer matters. This was evident by Farragut’s post-game celebration after a victory. “It may not be a district game but it’s still an important game for us,” said Lady Admirals senior Eryn Hill, who scored the lone goal in Farragut’s 1-0 win over Bearden before a near-capacity crowd in Farragut

Soccer Stadium Thursday, Sept. 21. The senior tallied on a penalty kick in the 66th minute, helping FHS [9-5-0] secure its ninth consecutive victory. Hill said she had no choice but to convert after Bearden [9-4-1] committed a foul inside the goal box. “I knew that I had to make that kick,” Hill said after she buried the set shot past Lady Bulldogs goalkeeper Maggie Jones and into the back of the net. “Right when the whistle blew ... I put my team in my head. I got in my own world; I shot it and it went in.” See SOCCER on Page 11B

“This is a big game,” Courtney said. “This is an important gamfor both of us. There’s a lot on the line. Every game we play will be important for us because it’s that time of the year. They’ve gotten better every week and they’re a 5-1 football team. So, it is what it is.” If last week’s game is any indication, defense shouldn’t be a problem. The Admirals knocked off long-

time rival West 14-9 in a home non-league tilt. Farragut’s defense forced the Rebels into five turnovers and Alex Williams returned a pair of touchdowns on interception returns. Farragut and the Hilltoppers have met four times previously with the Admirals holding a 3-1 advantage in the all-time series. The two teams last met in 2013. Science Hill won that shootout in the Class 6A playoffs 56-42. Farragut prevailed 28-7 in 2008, also winning 33-20 in 2000 and 37-16 in 1999.

HARDIN VALLEY — Hardin Valley Academy head coach Wes Jones knows his team has plenty of work to do as it begins the second half of the 2017 season. The Hawks return to action at home Friday night, Sept. 29, when they host Jefferson County in a Region 1-6A showdown. Opening kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Hardin Valley [3-2 overall, 1-0 in the region] had its open date last week and Jones hopes the rest will benefit his squad, which has region tilts remaining against the Patriots, Science Hill, Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett, Bearden and Farragut — a tough down-the-stretch schedule. “Another good thing for us is that we’ll be healed up and hopefully have our people back,” Jones said. “[The bye] came at a good time for us because we’ve been so beat up. We haven’t had all of our starters since the first week of the season.” The Patriots have a reputation for playing a physical brand of football and Jones said he expects Jefferson County [4-2, 0-2] to present a challenge. “It’s going to be a tough ballgame,” he said. “Every game we have left is going to be tough. [Jefferson County] has changed their offense and they’re physical defensively. They run a double-wing, double-wide [offense] and they rely on their fullback and they’re

very physical up front." Fullback Clay Woods, a senior, is the main weapon running straight ahead. Woods had moments of success running into the heart of Farragut's defense despite a 33-6 FHS road win Friday evening, Sept. 15. Blake Taylor, senior wide receiver/running back, was the team's biggest threat outside the tackles against Farragut. Quarterback Nathan Seal, a senior, is a threat to run but sometimes struggles to complete passes downfield. “Defensively, they get a good push up front," Jones said. Aaron Dykes, HVA senior running back/defensive back who provides explosiveness in the Hawks rushing game, has played through some

aches and pains. “Aaron has been hurt,” Jones said. But Dykes not only played in Hardin Valley’s first five games, he was the top rusher in the Knoxville metro area over that stint. Dykes has amassed 600 yards and scored nine touchdowns on 97 carries thus far in 2017. Cam York, sophomore linebacker, and Braylin Jackson, senior defensive lineman, each have 55 tackles and both have terrorized opposing quarterbacks. Jackson has recorded six sacks while York has three. The Hawks and Patriots have met twice with Hardin Valley winning both meetings. HVA claimed a 24-14 win last year. The Hawks shut out Jefferson County 35-0 in 2015.

Bulldogs pull away in second half versus Warriors ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

KNOXVILLE — Sophomore wide receiver London Stephney said Bearden High School’s football team is peaking at the right time. He’s also finding joy in catching passes from another sophomore — quarterback Collin Ironside. “We’re going after a region championship,” said Stephney, who had five receptions and scored twice

in the Bulldogs’ 48-10 victory over Christian Academy of Knoxville before a packed house Friday night, Sept. 22, at BHS's Bill Young Field. “We have a great quarterback in Collin. We have two great running backs [Sam Coffin and D.J. Cox] and we have great receivers. “Collin and I work great together and he knows where I’m going to be," Stephney added. Bearden [4-2] and CAK [0-6] slugged through a scoreless first

quarter. The Bulldogs committed 102 yards in penalties before halftime. The Warriors moved the ball effectively early. CAK took a 3-0 lead when Zande Tonkin kicked a 24yard field goal with 10:28 remaining in the second frame. Shortly after Bearden went up 7-3 on a 16-yard run by Coffin, CAK pulled ahead 10-7 when quarterback Stewart Howell scored from 13 yards out, diving headfirst into

the end zone with 1:35 to play in the second stanza. “This has been hard. But we just have to get back to work and correct our mistakes,” Howell said. The Bulldogs scored twice in the final minute before halftime. Ironside threw a 71-yard touchdown strike to Hayden Candela with 52 seconds left in the half. Bearden got an interception from Colten Tyler, then cashed in when Ironside threw a 6-yard

touchdown pass to Stephney. Ironside and Stephney connected on a 3-yard shuttle pass for a touchdown midway through the third quarter. The Bulldogs made it 35-10 when Ironside hooked up with Jacob Klenck from 54-yards out. Dawson Houser added a 40-yard touchdown run. Backup quarterback Eli Snyder threw a 91-yard scoring bomb to Kahlil Abdullah with 1:35 left.

Soccer

minder, had seven on target after halftime as the tempo of the game accelerated. The Lady Bulldogs, which had three shots on goal in the first half, added six after the break. “We really pulled ourselves together,” Farragut defender Chelsea Gould said. “We put our hearts into this game.” “I don’t really know what happened. We didn’t make any adjustments,” FHS head coach Drew Payne said. “Our work rate went up in the second half. This game was

never pretty, but we just kept going after it.” “This game will always be special,” he added. “It’s the oldest rivalry for soccer in Knox [County].” Bearden lost forward Abby Brewer to a leg injury in the 10th minute. “After Abby went down, people had the chance to step up and nobody wanted to,” BHS head coach Ryan Radcliffe said. Farragut will host Maryville tonight [7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 28], with the District 4-AAA regular-season title hanging in the balance.

From page 9B

Bearden appeared to hold the upper hand throughout much of the first half. The Lady Bulldogs missed on a quality scoring opportunity when Ashtyn Glover fired the ball over the top of the Farragut net in the 22nd minute. After halftime, however, it was Farragut that took control. The Lady Ads, managing just one shot on goal over the first 40 minutes on Abby Mink, Bearden’s starting net-

West-FHS From page 9B

“The defense really stepped up tonight,” Williams said. “West’s defense was crazy, but our defense stepped up and did what they needed to do to finish out the game.” “Defense really stepped up when we needed to,” Nolan Davis, senior defensive lineman, said. “It was a tough one, but I’m glad we brought out a win there.” Davis and Williams joined Nathan Harmon, junior linebacker; Cade Burkey, senior linebacker, and Caleb Kuhn, junior defensive end, among the key defenders holding West’s offense to one short scoring drive. Burkey finished the game with 20 tackles [including 11 solo stops]. He also had a critical red-zone interception. Kuhn had 12 tackles [including three sacks] and forced a fumble. Harmon recovered a fumble and finished with nine tackles. West’s TD drive, capped by a 29yard scoring pass, came after one of a handful of Farragut special teams mistakes: a fumbled punt return was recovered by West at the FHS 33 early in the second quarter. Burkey’s interception near the FHS goal-line, which killed a Runnin’ Rebels drive that reached the Farragut 10, came with 4:12 left in the first half. However, a high snap to Jake Evans, FHS junior quarterback, resulted in a safety for West two plays later. Harmon’s fumble recovery ended West’s first scoring chance, which started at the Ads’ 29 midway into the first quarter. Fearing his punt would be blocked, FHS senior punter Griffen Swicegood took off running but fell short of the first down. “I just think we got really prepared through the week. Our coaches help us,” Harmon said. “This is our Homecoming Week. … I knew West would be fired up to play us, so we just came out hard.” About being a target as 2016 Class 5A state champs, “[Head] coach [Eddie] Courtney’s been tak-

ing about that all year, that we’re going to get the best that everybody’s got,” Harmon said. “We try to come out firing and not underestimate anybody and be ready.” Wyatt Lucas, FHS junior defensive back, salted away victory thanks to his interception and 27yard return to the West 9 with just 1:01 left in the game. “I saw the play before that he was looking at my side, and I was kind of ready for him to come back to my side since he completed the pass,” Lucas said. “He just threw it late and I just committed on the ball and got it.” About defense helping to carry the team, Lucas said, “We’ve had to do that a lot this year, actually. Our offense just can’t get into the groove.” After Williams’ second defensive touchdown, a two-point conversion pass from Evans to Gibbs accounted for the other FHS points. Evans replaced injured starter Gavin Wilkinson, a sophomore, whose helmet was knocked off following a sack in the second quarter and was slow to get up. No other injury details were available at deadline. Anthony Lawson, FHS senior nose guard, limped off the field with assistance after a lower leg injury. No other details were available at deadline.

Defensive Ads maintain 2 game HWWW lead Bearden, Hardin Valley Academy, Webb within striking distance in farragutpress/PureMagic Carwash best-record contest

No “offense” Farragut, but it’s your defense that keeps you undefeated and No. 3-ranked statewide while maintaining a twogame “Week 6 Scoreboard” lead. Two defensive touchdowns [see story beginning on page 9B] were all the Admirals needed to beat West 14-9 last Friday. Improving to 6-0 overall, FHS stayed No. 1 in farragutpress’s How the West Was Won presented by PureMagic Carwash contest for best regular season record. Blowing away Christian Academy of Knoxville in the second half at Bearden’s Bill Young Field, the Bulldogs reclaimed the No. 2 PureMagic HWWW position. The 48-10 victory pushed Bearden’s record to 4-2. Hardin Valley Academy lost its second-place position, at least temporarily, due to an open date last week. The Hawks are in third place with a 3-2 record. The Webb Spartans are one of the better-rested high school

teams in the state, having enjoyed its second open date barely halfway through the season. Dave Meske’s team plays only nine regular season games. The Spartans currently are 2-2. Knoxville Catholic, meanwhile, lost a chance to match Bearden’s 4-2 record after a lopsided home setback against Brentwood Academy last Friday. Playing an extremely tough non-region schedule, Steve Matthews’ Irish fell to 3-3. As for the above-mentioned CAK Warriors, a strong first-half effort at Bearden might be something head coach Travis Mozingo can build upon — maybe. When you have yet to win after six tries, with no close finishes, I guess you scratch and claw for something positive. Concord Christian School, also 0-6, had to forfeit its game scheduled at Donelson Christian Academy last Friday. It goes down as a 2-0 DCA win.
