First Baptist Concord crew helps prepare 55,000 meals for Texas hurricane victims, clean up CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
Pots and pans were rattling south of Houston in September, in the midst of crisis, thanks to volunteers from First Baptist Concord. While pans were sizzling and pots were boiling for victims of Hurricane Harvey, church members also were ripping ruined sheetrock and carpet out of the homes of flood victims. Allen Krueger, director of service outreach at FBC, headed up the teams. Twelve were on the cooking team, five were on the mud-out team in charge of sheetrock and carpet and two manned a shower trailer, since volunteers were spending their nights in a nearby church. In just one week, FBC member Carol Webb and her cooking team produced 55,000 meals. “We had food on by 4:45 every morning,” Webb said. Under her direction, 32 volunteers from Tennessee, including 25 from the Knoxville area and the crew of 12 from First Baptist Concord had
a few hours early each morning, from Monday, Sept. 11, into Sunday, Sept. 17, to get thousands of lunches ready. By 10 a.m., the Red Cross was there to pick them up. “By then we would have cooked 3,300 meals,” she said. “We might do beef stew, rice and beans or carrots or corn. When you serve it on the plate, you want it to be appealing to the person. They’re hungry and it’s hot food … We cooked 8,500 meals one day.” There was no slowing down after the pick-up though, because at 3 p.m. the Red Cross was back for dinner meals. “We left on [Saturday], Sept. 9,” Webb said, “and got to Sugar Land, Texas, on Sunday [Sept. 10]. … We got home on Sept. 18.” “There was a kitchen already down there from Kingsport,” added Webb, a trained “blue cap” with the church’s disaster relief team and a 17year member. “This team was sent to relieve the first team that was there.” Their portable kitchen was set up under a big

The Overlook at Campbell Station Apartments development took another step toward breaking ground. With the words “we move to approve the facade” from Louise Povlin, Town Alderman and a member of Farragut Municipal Planning Commission, building elevations and materials requested for this 32-acre development — with 267 units and 13 total buildings — received unanimous FMPC approval during its meeting Thursday, Sept. 21, in Town Hall. Representatives of the project had better luck with the FMPC this go-round. The last time they had come with plans that hadn’t been updated. “This is a $37 million development,” said John Gumpert, president of Camden Management Partners in Atlanta, part of the development team. “About $1.8
million is on masonry. We’re taking that seriously.” “My concern is that it still looks nice in 10 years,” Povlin said. Member Rose Ann Kile asked if Gumpert had done similar projects in this area. Gumpert said he had done River’s Edge, 1701 Island Home Ave. “This project is designed to be truly a Class A project,” he said, pointing out granite countertops and other amenities. “I just saw the River’s Edge on Louise’s phone,” Kile said, “and saw all those air conditioning units on the front. Is that the way this is going to be?” “Yes,” Gumpert said. “They will be screened.” “I would like permission to allow us to start setting up the erosion control while we’re doing this I-dotting and T-crossing stuff,” engineer Mark Bialik said. “We don’t do that,” Mark ShipSee OVERLOOK on Page 5A

Republican businessman Bill Lee, who hopes to replace Gov. Bill Haslam, wore a navy blazer and khakis as he made a gubernatorial campaign stop in Farragut Tuesday evening, Sept. 26. Lee, a native of Williamson County in his first run for any elected office, spoke with a crowd of about 25 in the Chapel at First Baptist Concord. He has lived on the family’s cattle farm since he was a toddler. “My family has been there 220 years,” Lee said. “We sell meat in Middle Tennessee. I run a company called Lee ComLee pany. I’m an ag[riculture] guy.” Lee said he wanted to use his experience in making the lives of his 1,200 employees better as a springboard toward improving lives across the state. “I told Maria [his wife] I was going to pray about this every day and I did, starting in January,” Lee said about his decision whether or not to run. Lee announced his bid in April, bought an old RV and visited each of Tennessee’s 95 counties in 95 days. Psalm 71:14 is inscribed on the side of his campaign bus: “But as for me, I will always have hope.” “I had some dark days in my life

Town ready to access Americans with Disabilities Act status
■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Although Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen agreed to amend the budget to allocate more money toward a Townassessment for Americans with Disabilities Act [of 1990] compliance, it tabled action to contract with an engineering firm on that work. The action to table came after a 30-minute discussion during a Board meeting Thursday, Sept. 28, after two residents asked the Board to wait on action to hire Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. Janet Wedekind, Farragut Human Resources manager, introduced the proposed contract with Kimley-Horn for $148,700 to do the ADA compliance project. But Smith Road resident John Nehls said he could do the work
himself on a volunteer basis at no charge to the Town. “I would love to sit down and talk,” Wedekind said. Along a similar note, Robin Hill, an engineer and former Farragut Municipal Planning Commission chair, said there were several things about Kimley-Horne’s proposal that worried Wedekind him. “I don’t know what their proposal means in terms of the total work to do,” Hill said. “This [issue] is a lot more complicated than you think and more expensive than you think. “Go slow, understand, then do

He explained Town of Farragut is under a federal and Tennessee Department of Transportation mandate to make sure it does a self-assessment and transition plan for all publicly owned facilities regarding ADA compliance, while giving a recommendation on a transition plan going forward on “how to fund fixing all Nehls those items in the future. “It’s something we have to do,” Smoak said, adding the deadline for the self-assessment and plan is December 2018. If the assessment and plan are not done, TDOT and the federal
government could withhold grant funding, Wedekind said. Kimley-Horn has contracted with the state, so Wedekind said the firm knows what is required. “I think we would get a bigger bang for our buck,” she added. In the end, the Board agreed to table the issue for four weeks, while in the meantime setting up a workshop to discuss the ADA self-assessment and transition plan. In other action, the Board passed unanimously an ordinance to consolidate and update Town codes. The Board also approved unanimously a special event permit for Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce’s 23rd Annual Farragut 5K & Fun Walk, which is scheduled for Saturday morning, Nov. 11, along Watt Road and Mayor Bob Leonard Park.

what you need to do,” he added. “It wouldn’t hurt to wait,” David Smoak, Town administrator, said. The contract with Kimley-Horn first came up when the Board unanimously passed a budget amendment to add more money for an ADA self-assessment. Smoak said the Town has budget $60,000 this fiscal year to do the ADA self-assessment and transition plan. “When we got the [Request for Quotation to invite firms to bid on a project] back from the prospective engineering firms, the proposals came back much higher than we had budgeted,” Smoak said. “So this requested amended amount is for $90,000 to cover the total cost for the actual engineering study for our total FY 2018 general fund budget, to be amended [to] $7,204,579.”

guestview: Alderman Bob Markli
Lee
As I have often pondered on the world stature, which the United States achieved in its relatively brief existence, I have sought to understand the causes that propelled it. My quest has led me to study the foundations of our republic, the people who founded it and the principles and people who inspired them. I have read John Locke, Thomas Paine, Adam Smith, De Tocqueville, Jefferson and Washington, the United States Constitution and its precursors: the Articles of Confederation, the Massachusetts Bill of Rights, the Virginia Bill of Rights, the Albany Plan of Union, the Hartford Constitution, the Mayflower Compact, the Magna Carta, the Holy Bible, the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers, the transcripts of the Constitutional Convention, etc, etc. I have even studied the Constitution of the Confederate States of America and some of the pre- and post-Reconstruction constitutions of other individual states. What has stood out in high relief in all this are the central core truths espoused in these documents and the writings of their authors. It all boils down to an unshakable belief that “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are endowed by their Creator
when that was particularly true for me,” Lee said. “I have great hope for Tennessee. The more I do this, the more I know I’m supposed to be doing it. There’s real opportunity to influence people’s lives for good.” A question-and-answer session found Farragut and area attendees asking Lee his views on wooing out-of-state industry, his stand on abortion and his response to a local tragedy. Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s hand shot up quickly. “You’ve raised the conservative bar considerably,” he said to Lee. Burchett, a GOP candidate for the 2nd District U.S. Congressional seat to be vacated by retiring Republican U.S. Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr., preceded his question by saying there has been a lot of talk about using incentives to lure out-of-state industry. However, Burchett also said there has been opposition to using incentives, asking Lee his opinion. “I think the most valuable employers for our state are those that are created here,” Lee said. “Half of the people who work in this state work for small businesses. We need to place as much emphasis on entrepreneurship and small business start-up as we do on attracting businesses to come in from out of state. “In traveling to 95 counties, one thing I’ve realized is this is a rural state with some big cites,” he added. “We have 20 percent of our counties federally designated as economically distressed. We need to change the way we’re doing things that would address that.” Lee stressed the need to help middle school-age children understand their career options can include getting a master’s degree or developing a skilled trade. He said more tax dollars need to be used for trade schools. “Agriculture is 13 percent of our economy,” he added. “Virtually none of our education dollars are in agriculture.” Another question came from Lenoir City resident Steve Eimers, whose daughter, Hannah, was killed last November in a guardrail traffic accident. He explained his efforts to make roads safer, especially guardrails, since the tragedy. “What will you do to make sure we improve our roads and what would you have said to me that Gov, Haslam hasn’t?” he asked. “I’d say first of all that you’re
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” It is axiomatic that America’s fortunes have waxed and waned as we as a nation have adhered to or strayed from the founding principles that propel us to greatness. So too Farragut’s founders got it right in setting Alderman up our little Bob Markli North Ward town on principles of sound finances, small, lean, unobtrusive government with very limited responsibilities. Traveling as a representative of Farragut to other cities for the Congress of Cities I have been struck by our happy situation. On my last such trip I struck up a conversation with a councilwoman from a town about our size in Ohio who explained to me that they had an annual budget of around $54,000,000! I know also that the property taxes alone on a modest home in many such cities
are greater than the gross annual wages of many full-time workers. Yet somehow Farragut has become consistently rated one of the most livable cities in the U.S. on an annual budget less than 1/5 of that amount. How do we do that? For starters I believe that the people of Farragut recognize that government is typically a bad bargain and therefore the less the better. We have no Sanitation Department, no Fire Department, no Police Department, no Transit Department, no Water and Sewer or Electric Department. And yet somehow our garbage gets picked up, our fires are put out, our crime rate is low and the water, sewer and lights all work. While other cities decline as they succumb to the siren song of socialist principles of bigger government and less individual responsibility, Farragut has stuck to the sound principles of its founding and continues to augment a superb quality of life. It is a beacon of light to other cities in our great land. While we are not perfect, may we ever recognize the source of our enviable position and continue to confidently uphold those core principles at the County, State and National levels as well.

“The people who went out on the emergency rescue vehicles got to see the hurricane damage,” Carol Webb said. “Sometimes the Red Cross took the meals to a central location and sometimes they took them to a community and with their loudspeaker on would say, ‘Free food,’ and the people would come out and get food. “First of the week they found a church, a Catholic church that was trying to feed 1,500 people each meal,” she added. “The people were coming out of flooded water to get to the church to get food and then go back into the flooded water to go to their homes. So they started taking them 1,500 meals every day for each meal. As for her motivation, “It’s just something I’ve got a passion for. That’s what God called me to do,” Carol Webb said. Carol said she told her team that by the end of the week she hoped they had the same passion for di-

saster relief that she did: “that when there is a call, you will say, ‘I’ve got to go,’ you’ll just change your plans, whatever is going on and you go.” Terry Webb counted 19,000 steps in one day taking food off trucks and walking around the tent area. “By the end of the day, we were ready for bed,” he said. “We were worn out.” Terry has been on eight or nine
disaster relief trips, he said. Similar to Krueger, Carol has been on about 15. “Iowa, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri and South Carolina. I don’t keep up. I couldn’t tell you. It’s a ministry God called me to,” Carol said. At one location, “I stayed 16 weeks,” she said. Carol’s next stop may be in Puerto Rico later this month.

courageous to show up and sit here and say what you just said,” Lee said. “I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. I’m deeply saddened and sorrowful for you. I would want you to come to my office and tell me everything you know on this subject [of guardrails].” “We’re about to adopt an infant,” Eimers said. “What will you do to support the unborn?” “I’m a guy who believes life begins at conception,” Lee said. “I take issue with one statement you just mentioned, and that’s about abortion,” a woman on the front row said, adding she believed abortion was acceptable in the case of rape or incest. Another audience member asked about the opioid crisis. “It’s a crisis, an epidemic and it’s getting worse,” Lee said, adding the state needs to further the transparency around the distribution of opioids. “Our per capita prescription level is astonishing in regards to other states in this country. Twenty-nineday rehabilitation for opioid addicts is nothing but a revolving door. We’ve got to invest in communitybased rehabilitative services.” An audience member said that in Knox County a pawn shop, a tire store and a restaurant have been discovered “helping people get money to go out and buy the drugs.” “It’s a complicated web,” Lee said. “I think one of the most powerful tools are our partnerships between the state and nonprofits.” Similar to Eimers, Lee has known personal tragedy. “My first wife was killed in a really tragic horseback riding accident with our 4-year-old daughter when I was 40 and we had four kids,” he said. “God is a redeemer and walked with me through that. My business almost failed. It was a really difficult two to three years.” Lee said he turned the business around and got heavily involved in nonprofit work. “I realized I’m not guaranteed tomorrow,” he said. “There are very few things that matter and I want to be about those things.” He was a single dad for eight years before remarrying. “I’ve met Bill a couple of times,” said Farragut native Andrew Davis, campaign manager for Burchett’s Congressional run. “He’s a great guy. I’m here to support Bill and support Jason [Zachary, Republican state representative from District 14 that includes Farragut].”

ley, Community Development director, said. “We require plans stamped. We would have to have letters of credit.” “I don’t want to set a precedent here for down the road,” said FMPC chair Rita Holladay. “You can’t blame a guy for asking,” Bialik responded. Meanwhile, the concept plan for the third phase of renovations for the Campbell Station Inn site, at the corner of Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike, was approved for submission onto the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. “I’m excited to see this happen. It’s going to make that corner really beautiful,” Povlin said about the future of the two-story red brick house, also known as Avery Russell House, which was purchased by the Town of Farragut a few years ago. Gary Palmer, assistant Town Administrator, presented the plan to FMPC. Phase I involved HAZMAT abatement of the site. Now, construction drawings for the stabilizing of the Inn [Phase II] are being finalized. “I’m looking for approval for the concept plan,” Palmer said. “I wanted to get some sort of approval to Brewer, Ingram Fuller [architects] before we spend any money. In talking to the design team. We thought we should bring it back again before we dove into Phase III.” Palmer said the small building to the side of the house is an old milk barn that will probably be torn down in Spring 2018. He said the wings on the building will be removed and the structure will be tightened up with new mortar since the existing mortar is “like sand.” During the final phase, a deceleration lane will be installed, as well as a plaza area with sidewalks, greenspace and a restroom. Commissions also voted to approve a curb cut into the property of John and Sarah Mailen, who own 4.6 acres along Concord Road

between Loop Road and Second Drive. The Mailens have requested the cut be made during the widening of Concord Road. They would like to develop the property and came with engineer Robert Campbell and a concept plan for a shopping/office area. “We wanted to be very clear there would never be a curb cut allowed in the median and they’re not requesting that,” Shipley said about the Mailens.

Campbell said Tennessee Department of Transportation construction won’t begin for nine months to a year. The Mailens’ development will “be several years [away],” he said. “It’s nothing imminent.” In other business, FMPC: • approved the concept plan for phase three of Bridgemore subdivision, which includes a Charlestontype development in one corner of the nearly 300 acres.

HealthMarkets Insurance Agency has moved its Cedar Bluff location to Farragut. The insurance company, previously located at 410 N. Cedar Bluff Road, moved to 731 N. Campbell Station Road in April, said Ben Clark, sales leader. Based in Dallas, HealthMarkets is an insurance brokerage company that offers health, supplemental and life insurance, along with various individual insurance products, Clark said. Working with individuals and businesses, “We help them with their insurance protection, so that’s going to be health insurance and your basic supplemental things like dental, vision and making sure you have proper life insurance in place,” said Clark, who has been a sales manager with the company since 2010. “We do Medicare supplements and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans,” he added. “We have simple annuities we can sell for the senior market as well, and we offer that same benefit to
the small employer, so your mom-and-pop places that have 10, 15 people who work there … [have] a small health group insurance plan available. “What we do differently is the individual opportunities, so we meet with the employer, we set up the plans and then after we get everything, the employee chooses from the options that they think would work best for all.” Because of the structure in the insurance plans it offers, HealthMarkets is better suited to a storefront atmosphere, Clark said. Moreover, a storefront atmosphere allows clients to “see the sign, walk in and work with an agent to help [customers] out on their insurance,” he said. “We were off of Cedar Bluff [Road] for quite a few years, and when our lease ran out on an office suite, we had the option to place ourselves in a community and go to more of a storefront location,” Clark added. “I live in Farragut, so I’ve seen this location sit vacant for a while, so I wanted to be a part of it.”

three months they have had to deal with some different construction messes and the clinic looking in disarray. We want to thank our patients for still trusting us with their care even despite the construction.” Comford said the facility’s space had been the same for the last 14plus years. “Because this clinic had been here for so long, it just needed to be freshened up,” he said. “And, our clinic has expanded from two therapists to now [having] four therapists, so we just needed to be
more efficient with our space.” To renovate, the clinic had to wait for corporate approval. “Our company is expanding at a very fast rate, 45 new clinics opened up nationwide this year, so it was just a matter of when a construction team could get to our clinic,” Comford said. So after receiving approval, walls were moved and the clinic was renovated. “We really arranged walls to maxSee BENCHMARK on Page 8A

imize space,” he said. Rearranging the square footage gave him an extra 200 square feet, allowing him to add two tables and some different equipment, develop a break room for meetings and create storage space for medical equip-
ment, Comford said. That additional square footage “goes a long way in a clinic,” he added. “It’s helped a lot. “Our clinic sees roughly 200 patients a week. Before, we were having trouble getting our patients to a table. Sometimes they had to wait a little bit. With the additional tables, they no longer have to wait, which
has been huge for us.” BenchMark also has been able to add a large staircase that can help patients with functional activities, such as going up and down stairs. “We used to use wooden boxes,” Comford said. “Now, we have this giant staircase right in the middle of our clinic.” BenchMark provides orthopedic
rehabilitation for post-operative patients, athletes and dancers, and it provides neurological rehabilitation for those suffering strokes and disorders, such as Parkinson’s. “We have a dance specialist here,” he said. “And, we get a lot of athletes because of that machine, that antigravity treadmill. NASA engineers developed it several years back.
“It allows us to get people walking earlier in the rehab, which is awesome,” Comford added. The clinic also does vestibular [the body’s system for maintaining equilibrium] rehab and balance and gait rehab, he added. The clinic is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Farragut Ironman wants to inspire ■
CAROLYN EVANS cevans@farragutpress.com
On the top of volcano in Kona, Hawaii, Roy Fenstermaker paused right in the middle of an IRONMAN race for two whole minutes. “I decided that it was more important to soak up the view and enjoy that moment,” said the Farragut resident. “To be 71 years old on top of a mountain in Hawaii, doing what I was doing … I was just so grateful.” After a stint in the Navy and
Special patch
college at Vanderbilt University, Fenstermaker worked as a chemical engineer in Oak Ridge. He had always run and stayed in shape, even competing in races. But after he retired, Fenstermaker decided he wanted to take his fitness level up a notch … several notches maybe. “I had the time,” he said. “I had seen ads for Fleet Feet’s training for triathlons,” he said. “I thought, ‘Why not?’” See IRONMAN on Page 3B
Carolyn Evans
Elizabeth Christiansen, owner of Jack’s Patch in front of Target in Northshore Town Center, said she always wanted to have a pumpkin patch and things came together quickly this fall. Jack’s Patch will be open through Halloween.
Jack’s Patch a pumpkin wonderland ■ CAROLYN EVANS

Carolyn Evans
Farragut resident Roy Fenstermaker, left, began triathlon training a couple of years ago at Fleet Feet under the direction of store owner Shahin Hadian, also an IRONMAN competitor.
It’s a pumpkin playground out by the Northshore Target. “I’ve dreamed about doing this for the last 15 years and I am finally doing it,” said mom of four, Elizabeth Christiansen, as she stood behind the outdoor counter at Jack’s Patch Wednesday, Sept. 27. She and her husband, Brian, have created a kind of wonderland there in the field in front of Target: huge tractor tires filled with corn seed — like sandboxes, only cleaner; an enormous white picture frame, big enough for an entire clan to pose inside; wagons to haul pumpkins or children around the area; a $1 mini pumpkin and gourd stand; a fall gift area and a concession stand. Jack’s Patch will be open through Halloween. Hours are from 3 to 7 p.m., Monday-Thursday; from 3 to 9 p.m., Friday; from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, and closed Sunday. Pumpkins run from $1 to $10, with specialty pumpkins, such as white ones, from $10 to $25. Hay bales are $7 and cornstalks are $6. Drinks, including pumpkin milk from Cruze Farms, hot chocolate and cider are available, as well as doughnuts. The patch opened the weekend of Sept. 16. “We had food trucks and live music and a bigger turnout than expected,” Christiansen said.
“My son’s name is Jack and that’s why we named it Jack’s Patch — plus jack-o-lanterns.” ~ Elizabeth Christiansen, creator of Jack’s Patch
The Christiansens lived in the Watt Road area for seven years and moved about a couple of years ago to the Northshore area near Carl Cowan Park. “We lived in upstate New York and there were several pumpkin patches there,” Christiansen said. “We had a favorite one in upstate New York called Jackson Farm. My son’s name is Jack and that’s why we named it Jack’s Patch — plus jacko-lanterns. The Christiansens have four children — Austin, Jackson, Rylee and Brinley in their teens and early 20s — who are helping out. To lend a hand, two of her seven sisters have come in from outside the area. She was expecting the one from Chicago, but the one who flew in from Utah surprised her. “I always wanted to have a pumpkin patch and just never got the chance to. This lot came open and we got approved to do it right here. Everything just kind of fell into place. I had two weeks to plan.” For more information, call 865-209-1679.

IRONMAN From page 1B
An IRONMAN triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112mile bicycle ride and a 26.22mile marathon run. A couple of years ago Fenstermaker signed up and began to train with a group under the direction of Shahin Hadian, Fleet Feet owner. He swam at 7:30 a.m. at Gold’s Gym, ran in his neighborhood and biked all over the area. At his first IRONMAN in September 2015 in Chattanooga, a turning point came. Because he had had a little dizziness before the race, his wife, Michelle, made him promise to run straight to the medic tent at the end. Roy was in the tent when he saw Michelle waving her index finger at him. “I thought she was fussing at me at first,” he said. He heard her say, “You won. You came in first.” and thought at first she was kidding. “I came in first in my age group,” Roy said, “which meant I was a qualifier for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, which was held 0ct. 6, 2016. My wife and I and daughter traveled there to have that great experience.” Last June, Roy competed in Raleigh, North Carolina. He did so well he qualified to compete in the half IRONMAN world championship [2017 IRONMAN 70.3
World Championship] in Chattanooga last month. “I came in in the middle of my age group, so I was happy,” he said. “It was a tough course, so I felt good about it.” “He had to bike straight up Lookout Mountain,” Michelle said. “My daughter and I stayed in the transition area, so we didn’t actually get to see him. Prior to the race, Roy and I had driven up Lookout Mountain to survey the course. It was a very difficult course. “He also had to swim against the current in the Tennessee River for a half-mile,” she added. “He ran a course that was a two-loop run course. One day
we drove to Chattanooga and we both ran one loop to survey the course. For the race, it was 13.1 miles. For that day, we did half of it. I run a lot slower.” Roy is now 72 and he trains in some way almost every day — running, biking, swimming or working out with weights. “It’s given me a lot of satisfaction that at my age I can still compete at this level,” he said. “It also helps me inspire others to know that anything is possible if you put enough effort into it.” “We have a sign at our house that’s just one word,” Michelle said. “Inspire. That’s what he really wants to do.” “Give it a try,” Roy said.

KEN LAY Correspondent
ALCOA — Farragut High School’s girls golf team came home with the Region 2 Large Schools Championship early last week at Green Meadow Country Club. With the victory on Tuesday, Sept. 26, the Lady Admirals clinched a spot in the Large Schools State Tournament at WillowBrook Country Club in Manchester. The two-day 36-hole state championship play concluded Wednesday but results were unavailable at press time. At the region tournament, Farragut edged Knoxville Central by one stroke. The Lady Admirals finished the 18-hole event with a team score of 151. The Lady Bob-
cats had a total of 152 and they were led by Low Medalist Alyssa Montgomery, who fired a 3-under 69 to Nagy win the second region championship of her career. Farragut, meanwhile, got a 73 from senior Emily Keeling, who finished second in the individual overall standings. Freshman Lexanne Halama carded a 78. Firstyear head coach Kathy Nagy said she was pleased with the girls team’s effort. “I’m very, very proud of our
girls,” Nagy said. “Emily, my senior, is a leader and she really stepped up and she shot 1-over and placed second. Then, we had Lexanne do well and she’s a freshman. And we’ve set the tone for success for the next three years.” Two area boys moved on to state. Hardin Valley Academy’s Jeremy Jones and Bearden’s Bryson Morrell both qualified. Jones shot a 68 last week and Morrell posted a 71. All individual qualifiers from Region 2 finished under par. As for Jones, “I’m really pleased because if you advance from this region, you’ve done something,” HVA Hawks coach Lucas Forstrom said. Farragut’s boys took second in See GOLF CHAMPS on Page 11B

KEN LAY Correspondent
The winning streak reached 19 games for Farragut High School football Friday night. The Ads, ranked No. 3 statewide in Class 6A, celebrated Senior Night with a 35-27 Region 1-6A victory over No. 8-ranked Science Hill at Eddie Courtney Stadium/Bill Clabo Field. “We did this together,” said longtime Farragut head coach Eddie Courtney, who has seen his team bitten by the injury bug of late. “Our linebackers and our secondary did a great job like they always do and our defensive line did well. “We had to shuffle those guys around because we’ve had some injuries.”
One change that the Admirals [7-0 overall, 3-0 in the region] made was putting Jacob Warren, senior tight end and University of Tennessee commitment, on defense. Warren responded by making several tackles and big hits. Junior quarterback Jake Evans started and he wasted little time impacting the game. He scored the game’s first touchdown on an 8-yard run with 10:53 remaining in the first quarter. It was set up when Science Hill [5-2, 2-1] fumbled the opening kickoff at its 9-yard line. Evans would start because sophomore Gavin Wilkinson was nursing an injury. But Wilkinson would eventually play. See 19 STRAIGHT on Page 11B

KEN LAY Correspondent
When Farragut High School hits the football field this week it will do so in search of a 20th consecutive win spanning two seasons. But head coach Eddie Courtney isn’t concerned about that.
“We still want to win the region championship and we still have three tough region games left,” Courtney said. But the Admirals (7-0 overall, 3-0 in Region 1-6A) and ranked No. 3 statewide in Class 6A, can’t afford to get caught looking ahead because a road game versus Kingsport
Dobyns-Bennett looms starting at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 6. The Indians [3-3, 1-1], coached by Graham Clark, enter this week’s contest following a 23-7 regional road victory against Bearden. Dobyns-Bennett has victories over Oak Ridge, Sevier County and Bearden, but has lost to Greenev-
ille, Alcoa and Tri-Cities rival Science Hill. Farragut comes into the game following a 35-27 victory over No. 8 state-ranked Science Hill. “They’re a lot like Science Hill,” Courtney said. “They have a tall and athletic quarterback. They have great running backs and great
receivers. “They’re physical up front on both the offensive and defensive lines.” Meanwhile, the Indians dominated Bearden last week. Quarterback Landon Redwine was 15-for-21 and See ADS-KDB on Page 8B

Early Dawgs score

KEN LAY Correspondent
Hardin Valley Academy’s football team will hit the road Friday night, Oct. 6, when it travels to Johnson City to take on Science Hill in a key Region 1-6A showdown. The Hawks, who notched a 21-0 shutout victory over region rival Jefferson County, have won four consecutive games after getting off to an 0-2 start. But head coach Wes Jones said his squad has still not played its best football despite entering the week with a 4-2 overall record and a perfect 2-0 league mark.
“We’ll have to be ready for this game because it’s on the road,” Jones said. “I thought our defense played exceptionally well against Jefferson County.” However, “We still haven’t played as good as we can play,” Jones said. “... Jefferson County never really stopped us. We stopped ourselves.” The Hilltoppers [5-2, 2-1] had their own problems at Farragut last week in a 35-27 region loss. “They’re a very physical football team, both on offense and defense,” Jones said. “They’re big and they have some good running backs and some good receivers.” Science Hill’s biggest offensive
weapon is senior quarterback Jaylan Adams. His mobility makes him a dual threat. He threw for 159 yards and rushed for 135 versus Farragut. “Their quarterback can present problems for you because he’s very mobile and he’s hard to defend,” Jones said. “That means that you have to defend those backs and receivers longer.” Other key players for the Hilltoppers are Drew Morrison and Chris Thomas. Both running backs had touchdowns against the Admirals. HVA has some weapons of its own. Senior running back Aaron Dykes See HAWKS on Page 9B

With help for teammates such as London Stephney (4), Matt Campbell, Bearden sophomore running back, charges into the end zone midway through the first quarter at BHS’s Bill Young Field versus Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett.

threw for 262 yards and had a 16yard touchdown pass to Dee Williams. Redwine completed his first nine passes. Williams finished with five receptions for 69 yards. Receiver Matt Dominick had four catches and amassed 113 yards for the Indians, who scored 17 points on their first three possessions and overcame an early 7-3 deficit. Against the Hilltoppers, “We were unselfish,” Courtney said “We got a great effort from both our running backs [Kyle Carter and Isaiah Gibbs] and both of our quarterbacks [Jake Evans and Gavin Wilkinson]. “We have some great receivers.
Our linebackers have been good all year and our secondary continues to get better.” Farragut and the Indians have met 14 times dating back to 1956. Dobyns-Bennett holds a 10-4 edge and has won five straight — the most recent in 2014 [31-27]. The Ads last won in 2009 [23-13].

Irish give Pemberton rude greeting with 49-24 victory ■ KEN LAY

KNOXVILLE -— An efficient offensive attack spelled victory for the Knoxville Catholic High School football team Thursday, Sept. 29. The Irish scored on their first seven possessions en route to a 4924 Region 4-5A victory over Rhea County and former Irish head coach Mark Pemberton before a near-capacity crowd at Blaine Stadium.
Hawks From page 8B
rushed for 100 yards and a 3-yard touchdown on six carries against Jefferson County. Travis Griffin ran
Catholic [4-3 overall, 2-0 in the region], took the opening kickoff and went 57 yards in four plays to score. Sompayrac Senior quarterback Jack Sompayrac connected with
DaShon Bussell on a 6-yard touchdown pass. Paxton Robertson would add several extra points. The Irish took a 14-0 lead on Sompayrac’s 12-yard scamper late in the opening frame. “Last week was a wake-up call for us,” said Sompayrac, who had a hand in five of Catholic’s touchdowns. “We knew we weren’t where we needed to be. We came in really motivated. “We really executed. We didn’t do anything crazy.”
“Our offense did really well tonight,” Catholic head coach Steve Matthews said. “... Jack did a really good job. He’s really starting to get a grasp on our offense.” Sompayrac was KCHS’s leading rusher, amassing 112 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. He also completed 13 of his 16 pass attempts and compiled 234 yards and three scores through the air. Rhea County [3-4, 2-1] had 300 yards of total offense, all on the
ground. KCHS went up 21-7 when Cam Blakely caught a 3-yard TD pass with 4:42 left in the first half. Bussell scored on a 90-yard kickoff return. Sompayrac scored on a 5-yard run and threw another TD pass to Blakely midway through the third quarter to make it 42-17. Ray Thompson scored his first TD of the year to extend the lead to 4917 late in the third frame.
for a 12-yard touchdown. Luke DeFur had a 9-yard TD reception. Junior quarterback Grayson Vaughn was 11-for-21 through the air for 100 yards and the TD pass. “I thought Grayson had a good
football game,” Jones said. Defensively, “a guy that nobody will say much about is Nick Spencer who played nose [guard],” Jones said. “He was getting double- and tripled-teamed inside. ...
He was getting beat-up on, but he had a good night for us. “Jaylen [Moore] and Braylin [Jackson], and it was nice having Eduardo [Martorell] back on the defensive line,” Jones added. “...
Those guys really flew around. “Our linebacking corps with Luke and Lock [Hardin], … I thought Lock had another good night. And Cam York just continues to run around and play well.”

Win vs. Bruins, league title top HVA feats
■
ALAN SLOAN editor@farragutpress.com
The stellar play of four seniors, each having a specific role they’ve carried out exceptionally well, has allowed Hardin Valley Academy to replace nemesis Farragut as the local volleyball public school powerhouse in 2017. Outside hitter Mandy Prescott, setter Alex Kirby, libero Isabella Mitchell and middle hitter Jericka Emert led the way during a special HVA regular season [32-7]. With that quartet helping HVA finish No. 3 in the state in Class AAA last season, the Lady Hawks won District 3-AAA with a perfect 6-0 record this campaign, including a victory against FHS [2-0 overall this
season versus the Lady Admirals]. Most impressive of all was slaying “the giant” a few weeks ago, the shining star among the team’s 32 regular-season wins: HVA defeated three-time defending Class AAA state champ Brentwood during Sunsphere tourney in Knoxville. “That was a pretty big win for us. We were really excited and thrilled,” Mitzi McCurry, head coach, said. As for McCurry’s special seniors, Prescott “has really come a long way for us the last couple of years,” the coach said. “She’s turned out to be a great leader, not only for the varsity … she’s a great mentor for the freshmen and JV girls [teams]. … She set the bar high for what Hardin Valley volleyball is all about.” About Kirby, “I’m thrilled to
death,” McCurry said. “She’s one of the best high school setters I’ve ever seen. … How she runs our offense is pretty incredible.” Mitchell has a special name. “I call her ‘the glue’ because without her, Alex and Mandy probably wouldn’t shine like they do,” McCurry said. “A lot of people don’t give her credit because they don’t understand volleyball. She makes everything look easy — she’s so good. She’s really what ignites our defense.” Emert “is playing a really good role in our season because she is very consistent. … Just goes in and gets the job done,” McCurry said. Hardin Valley and Farragut were looking to advance into the 3-AAA title game tonight, Thursday, Oct. 5, at South-Doyle High School [TBA].

the team standings with a total of 296. Halls (286) won the region thanks to a 66 from individual champion Ryan Hall. Steven Haremski led FHS with a 73. Lance Simpson and Chris Homan both scored 74 and Anthony Farinella had a 75. “I’m sure the boys were disappointed when they didn’t make it to state. But they shouldn’t have been,” Nagy said. “We have a young team and we’ve set it up to have success for the next four years.”
“Gavin and I have a great bond and we really work hard to push each other and get better,” Evans said. “I was really proud of our offensive line,” Courtney said. “We had some new guys in there because we’ve had some injuries.” The Admirals would extend their edge to 14-0 a short time later on a 5-yard scoring plunge by running back Kyle Carter, set up by a botched a snap on a punt. Carter scored three times and

Hawks now in 2nd place; Admirals up by 2 1/2 Make it 19 in a row, and a commanding 7-0 record on the Week 7 Scoreboard, for those suddenly offensive Admirals. With a two-and-one-half-game lead in farragutpress’ How the West Was Won presented by PureMagic Carwash contest for best regular season record, Farragut is close to wrapping up the 2017 crown — to go with its top-five state ranking. Not so fast, a Hardin Valley Academy Hawk might say. Those suddenly red-hot Hawks, winners of four straight after a pair of painfully close setbacks, improved to 4-2 with a 21-0 home shutout versus Jefferson County. However, Wes Jones’ crew begins a grueling four-game stretch to close the regular season, starting with a trip to Johnson City Science Hill this Friday. The always-explosive Hilltoppers will be angry following their 35-27 loss at Farragut. Hardin Valley Academy’s stout defense will be put to the test, its biggest test of 2017 for sure, in Steve Spurrier Country.
Bearden (4-3) will have a week off to recover from a 23-7 home loss versus Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett. While the Bulldogs rest thank to an open date, head coach Morgan Shinlever and his staff will have extra time to prepare for a huge game — and a gigantic opportunity — in Eddie Courtney Stadium versus the state’s No. 3-ranked Class 6A Admirals Friday, Oct 13. Catholic ties BHS for third place at 4-3 after yet another domiant offensive performance: a 49-24 home win against Rhea County. Webb fell to 2-3 after a 29-12 home loss to Division II-AA East Region foe Chattanooga Notre Dame. Congratulations to Travis Mozingo and his Christian Academy of Knoxville Warriors, finally entering the win column following a convincing 40-16 home victory against Silverdale Academy. Hopefully Troy Fleming’s Concord Christian School Lions can follow suit with its first victory — in program history — “hosting” Cosby (2-4) at Grace Christian Academy this Friday.

Adding to his job as a star tight-end and Tennessee Volunteers commitment by transitioning to Farragut’s defense, Jacob Warren goes horizontal to take down a Science Hill ballcarrier. The Admirals won this Region 1-6A showdown 35-27 at Eddie Courtney Stadium/Bill Clabo Field Friday evening, Sept. 29.
