Chamber hosts Farragut 5K ■

Robby O’Daniel

Julie Predny, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce executive assistant, presents a cash prize to Jake Houston, the first 5K runner to cross the finish line at the Farragut Fall 5K Run, Fun Walk & Pet Parade Saturday, Nov. 2. Houston donated the prize money to Smoky Mountain Service Dogs.

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Runners of all ages participated in the 5K at the Farragut Fall 5K Run, Fun Walk & Pet Parade event Saturday, Nov. 2, in and around Mayor Bob Leonard Park.. About 200 people participated in the overall event. Fifteen percent of ticket sales went to Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, said Bettye Sisco, Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “The rest of the monies go toward our continuing education program as well as other events that the chamber plans and for running the chamber and keeping us able to do things like this,” Sisco said. The race began at 8 a.m. on Watt Road near the intersection of Kingston Pike and Watt Road and ended at MBL park. “The event this morning, it could not be more perfect,” Sisco said at the event. “The weather is beautiful. The runners are

excited. ... We’ve got lots of food. We’ve got lots of music. Everybody’s got a smile on their face, and everybody’s ready for a great race.” While awards were handed out to males and females in multiple age ranges, the first person to cross the finish line was Jake Houston, 19, with a time of 19 minutes and 22 seconds. Houston said he thought the race was great. “The volunteers, I appreciate their help,” he said. “You’ve got to thank them. It’s just a great course.” Dira Hansen was first overall among women at the 5K, with a time of 20 minutes and 25 seconds. Among those ready to race was Charles Kern, 85, who estimates he has run in dozens of 5Ks. He started running 5Ks at age 55. “I was depressed, and the only way I could get around it was running,” Kern said. “I’d go and run out at midnight even. Then a See CHAMBER on Page 5A

Preparing for its 20th anniversary, Celebrate the Season once again promises lots of musical talent for all, plus crafts for children. And, of course, Santa Claus will make his annual appearance. This town of Farragut-sponsored event for families is free of charge and will run from 4:30 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5, in Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive. “We continue to add people attending our event every year. … I would say about 400 last year,” said Chelsey Riemann, Town’s public relations coordina-

tor. “This is just really popular, of course, with the free Santa photos.” “We will have photos with Santa beginning at 4:30,” Riemman added. “The final number is given out at 6 o’clock for photos with Santa.” “We will have several musical groups with us again. The TNT Mountain Dulcimer Trio. … We’ve had them with us for a few years … they’ll be out in the rotunda,” Riemann added. “Then we will have the Bearden United Methodist Church Children’s Bell Choir. That’s the one where kids that attend the event can come down and play a song on the bells. … We’ve had that for many years.” “Also booked is Farragut High

School Madrigal Singers again, and they’re with us every year,” Riemann said. “… That has just always been a very popular part of our event, which is why we keep having them back every year. “The Bell Choir and the Madrigals will be in the board room.” A fourth musical group is tentatively scheduled to perform, though Riemann said “nothing was verified” at deadline. As for children’s crafts, “We’ll have cookie decorating, which we do every year,” Riemann said, as children are directed to the community room. “Kids get to put green icing on those, and See TOWN on Page 5A

Residents and non-residents of Farragut can learn more about the Town as sign-ups begin for the next “Introduction to Farragut” program set to begin January 2014. Sue Fischer, Neil Fischer, center, and Stephen Krempasky were among the participants in the inaugural program earlier this year.

Anyone interested in learning more about the town of Farragut can apply now to participate in the “Introduction to Farragut” program. “You don’t have to be a resident; you just have to be interested in learning more about the town,” Town administrator David Smoak said. This is the second year the Town has offered the program, set to begin in January 2014. “Introduction to Farragut is a unique way to connect participants with the Town, providing information on its history, govSee INTRO on Page 2A

She said the program will begin with a reception and kickoff from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, in Farragut Town Hall. Classes will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on the following Tuesdays: Jan. 28, Feb. 11, Feb. 25, March 11 and March 25 in Town Hall. Graduation is scheduled for Tuesday, April 8.

nitaries gathered for a ribboncutting ceremony for the park’s new Community Heritage Trail. “I think it’s great,” Mayor Ralph McGill said about the trail’s completion. He said it is “very educational, very entertaining. “We will see a lot of school classes coming here,” he added. The mayor added the Town plans to do a lot of activities such as the markers. Ken and Julia Tucker of Farragut, who passed by the markers after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, said they liked the signs. “We read a lot of them,” Julia Tucker said. “It’s very informative.” “I like the map right here,” Ken Tucker said, pointing to the introductory marker. “It’s gives you an orientation of everything.” “Oh, I think it’s great,” said Louis LaMarche, one of the members of the committee responsible for the markers. “I think it gives a great history of this area. A community investment program, the trail features 11 markers depicting historical milestones for the Farragut and Concord areas, from the earliest Native American inhabitants to the Town’s founding, said Chelsey Riemann, public relations coordinator for Farragut. “It was really Ralph’s idea,” Vice Mayor Dot LaMarche said

their time in the program,” he said. “We hope that will be able to get a lot out of it. “The purpose of the program is to educate the public on the town of Farragut, its history, different departments and how we operate services throughout the Town,” Smoak said. “We will take a tour of the Town and try to get as much exposure as we can. “At the end, participants should be able to tell their neighbors and friends what a great place Farragut is,” he said. New this year, participants will take part in the Food For Kids program, which is a collaborative effort between Second Harvest and public schools within the food bank’s 18-county about the project. McGill said he thought the park was a logical place for a heritage trail. “It’s a passive park, no playgrounds, no playing fields,” the mayor said. “People can walk, eat and enjoy nature.” “Several years ago, he [McGill] thought it would be great to have some kind of historical signage in Campbell Station Park because so many people use this park,” said Sue Stuhl, Farragut Parks and Leisure Services director. McGill remembered the Town was working on its strategic plan and talked about emphasizing the town’s history. He noted while a bunch of people thought the Town had no history, he disagreed. He urged the Town to capitalize on its history. “So, he suggested that [the markers], and it was put into the budget,” Stuhl said. She noted the budget was $50,000 but the Town was able to do everything in the project for less than $20,000. Then, the Town formed a committee, which consisted of Louis LaMarche, Malcolm Shell and Jack Bondurant, who also are on the museum committee. Other committee members are Frank Galbraith, Gerald Augustus, Barbara Beeler and Mona Smith. Stuhl and Julia Barham, museum coordinator, also worked with the committee. The committee met for a year and a half, working on the project and its many revisions, Stuhl said.

Participants will be paired into small groups and will be responsible for collecting items for the selected Farragut schools, Riemann explained. “We will try to raise awareness and participation from the public in the food drive and fundraising,” Smoak said.

townview: David Smoak highlight of the event will be the “flipping of the switch” to light up the park. Stay tuned to farragutbusiness.com for more details. In 1991 — the year the Farragut Town Hall was completed — Town staff put up a few holiday decorations to add some cheer to our new municipal building. Then, in 1992, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen appointed a Decorating Committee, who purchased the first large Christmas tree for the Rotunda area as well as additional decorations. Soon thereafter, a holiday event was added in early December, which has since evolved into Celebrate the Season. The now-named Beautification Committee will present this 20th annual event amongst extensive holiday decorations throughout both floors of the Town Hall. Be sure to bring your kids early — numbers for free photos with Santa will be handed out beginning at 4:30 p.m. with the final number given promptly at 6 p.m. Kids and parents alike also will enjoy the event’s other activities, including holiday entertainment, cookie decorating, crafts and refreshments. Check townoffarragut.org in mid-November for a complete schedule. I hope you will join us this year for these family friendly events, and enjoy the beautiful decorations at both Campbell Station Park and Town Hall this holiday season

One of the most beautiful times of year in the Town of Farragut is soon approaching. I encourage you to mark your calendar now for two upcoming community events that will be sure to David kick off Smoak the holFarragut Town iday Administrator season with fun and festivities – Light the Park on Monday, Dec. 2 and Celebrate the Season on Thursday, Dec. 5. Sponsored by the Farragut Business Alliance and the town of Farragut, Light the Park began in 2011, adding additional decorations to Campbell Station Park, including 15 lighted trees constructed by the Farragut Public Works Department. In 2012, the total number of lighted trees was increased to 30, along with the addition of lighted greenery on the light poles and lights at the park entrance. For 2013, the Public Works Department is adding an additional 15 lighted trees, bringing the total to 45 trees with more than 13,000 lights adorning the park. Each year, Town staff dedicates about 300 man-hours to beautifying the park for the holiday season. Light the Park will start at 6 p.m. and will feature musical entertainment and refreshments. The

Duncan aide rebuttal There is a saying in politics that you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. A recent article published in the farragutpress on Oct. 31 quoted several comments about Congressman Jimmy Duncan that simply were not true. The false words included claims that Congressman Duncan voted to increase the debt; has never chaired a committee in Washington; and did not hold public meetings during August. In 2011, the National Taxpayers Union ranked Congressman Duncan number one — out of 435 members of the House of Representatives — in protecting taxpayers. If other members of Congress

• I was sad to hear that the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen banned guns from Farragut parks. The reason was safety according to your Oct. 31 issue. I am a law-abiding concealed carry permit holder so I will obey that law. As a matter of fact I will not visit a Farragut park at all because I do not feel safe there. Why, you ask? The criminals will still carry their guns there. They do not obey any law. That is why they are criminals. Wake up, Farragut. Silly gun laws only hurt honest citizens, not criminals. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. • The mayor said in your story about banning guns that he worried that school children wouldn’t be allowed to go to parks where guns were allowed. That doesn’t make sense. School children are allowed to go to restaurants where guns are allowed by law. Take a look at the entire Farragut football team parade [to a local restaurant] every Friday before a game for their pre-game meal. Guns aren’t banned [at the restaurant where they eat]. Such a silly, baseless excuse for liberal behavior. • Thank goodness the vital question of guns in our parks has been settled with some clear rationale by Mayor [Ralph] McGill, so we can focus on a real-

ly bad municipal idea: Accessory Dwelling Units, Town assistant administrator Gary Palmer’s Resolution PC-13-09. Even though the Farragut Municipal Planning Commission agreed by consensus not to pursue the idea of permitting a second dwelling to be constructed on someone’s residential property any further, Palmer and Alderman Bob Markli continue to ignore the sense of the Planning Commission and work to keep the proposal alive. The Planning Commission’s consensus vote came on Aug 15, and at the Sept 19 meeting Palmer himself recommended that the Commission again consider ADU and offered his resolution approving recommending the ADU ordinance to BOMA. ADU was cancelled from the agenda of the Oct 17 meeting, probably sensing adverse publicity and wanting to build more political support — certainly not popular support for something potentially destructive to our Farragut concept of a pure and sacred R-1 Residential Zone. • Editorial freedom is a wonderful concept, but it does come with its responsibilities.

He has voted against raising the debt ceiling many times, as recently as Oct. 30, and he will continue to do so in the future. The 2011 exception noted in the article was a vote for the Budget Control Act, which reduced more in spending than it raised the debt ceiling. It was a hard fought and total victory by fiscal conservatives in the House of Representatives. Never has Congress voted to cut more than a trillion dollars in spending.

this field has had an immeasurable impact on East Tennessee. In fact, following the 9-11 terror attacks, Oprah Winfrey invited Congressman Duncan on her talk show in his role as aviation chairman to reassure the nation it was safe to fly again. The comment claiming that Congressman Duncan held no public events during the August congressional district work period is ridiculous. Congressman Duncan actually penned an editorial several weeks ago — available on his website — outlining his work and public engagements during August, which are too numerous to list in this space. Anyone who knows Congressman Duncan well knows he never stops working. In Washington, he arrives at work each day by 7 a.m. and is often still in his office late into the evening voting. His long hours in Washington pale in comparison to his work when in the District. His constituent services operation is revered, with the goal of making the federal government more accessible and more humane, and he has a reputation of being one the most accessible members of Congress. I would hope in the future people will reconsider before stating falsehoods about Congressman Duncan that can easily be refuted.

fits for almost 2,000 employees. I was dismayed by the recent editorial in the Knoxville News Sentinel by a retired history professor from The University of Tennessee. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been. After all, it is projected that 70 to 80 percent of college history professors are extremely liberal or liberal leaning. Encouraging expanded entitlement and welfare with little regard for balancing the budget and paying down our $17 trillionplus national debt is tragic. The professor raved derogatorily against the attitudes of U.S. Rep. [John J.] Duncan [Jr.]. Then he went on about the wonderful benefits, etc., developed in the iconic [President Barack] Obama Affordable Care Act. This month our interest on the debt at the unusually low rate of about 1.2 percent will be a staggering $36 billion. Think what will happen when interest moves to 2, 3 or 4 percent — and it will. How can citizens of the most powerful and wonderful country continue to push this horrendous burden on the many future generations? No real consideration is being given to long-term ramifications. How do we curtail this terrible fiscal tragedy from continuing? There is only one way. Elect congressional representatives and presidents who believe in balanced budgets and a reliable program to pay down our national debt.

Denton, Jarvis express concerns, recall service Local World War II veterans speak of their trip to Arlington National Cemetery, East Tennessee patriotism

■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

Kenneth Denton and Howard “Easy” Jarvis, a pair of World War II veterans residing in Ben Atchley Tennessee State Veterans Home in Karns, aren’t shy about expressing their concerns with Veterans Administration policies and evaluations. Kenneth, an 89-year-old retired U.S. Air Force senior master sergeant who also served in the U.S. Army (27 years total service), expressed concerns with waste and fraud. Howard, a 92-year-old U.S Army Signal Corps combat veteran in the North African, and Italy theaters of World War II (1942-45), said nonretiree combat veterans aren’t getting their due.

However, both veterans appreciate good old-fashioned East Tennessee patriotic zeal. As part of an Honor Air flight taking veterans to Washington, D.C. earlier this fall, “The thing that I enjoyed is whenever I got back to see these people over there at the [McGhee-Tyson] air terminal come to thank you for what you have done,” Kenneth said. “And when we left up at D.C., there were a few people the same way, wanting to thank the veterans for what they had done. That makes you feel good, because they really pour in there.” Howard agreed. Though saying he was sick during part of the trip, “It was nice,” Howard said. “They were awfully glad to see us, shaking our hands and everything.” Upon visiting Arlington National Cemetery, “I didn’t realize there’s 300,000 people buried up there,” Kenneth said. “But that’s what they say. That’s a lot of dead people.” “It was an emotional time. It was cloudy, and that wind was whipping up,” Kenneth added. “I’ve always wanted to go up there.” Howard said, “It was a cold day,” adding, “It’s sad seeing those tombstones up there.” As for the changing nature of military discipline, “I believe they’re more lenient now,” Howard said. Kenneth added, “Seems like they get away with more things today.” However, “One thing I’m wanting to say: today, and going back to the last part of my service,

Howard retired after 33 years service at Oak Ridge National Laboratories, 30 as a machinist at Y-12. Having served “in Germany right at the end of [World War II]” and addition to Korea and Vietnam, the last 24 in the U.S. Air Force, Kenneth first served “in the 14th Constabulary

Regiment, and I was in light tanks, M-24 tanks. “Then I went to tank school as a mechanic,” he added. “That’s what followed me … I was a vehicle mechanic in the Air Force until I became an aircraft accessories [superintendent], which is all the equipment it takes to operate a flight line.”

While Howard and his wife never had children, Kenneth expressed pride that his son followed in dad’s military footsteps. William K. Denton “did well” during four years serving in the U.S. Army, specializing in “tanks” during the mid-1970s, Kenneth said.

Irwin blunt on tot abuse Knox County Juvenile Court judge talks about heartbreaking realities to Farragut Rotary

Newborn babies who come into the world as unwilling junkies thanks to drugged up mothers, a heartbreaking reality repeatedly dealt with by Judge Tim Irwin. Neonatal Abstinence syndrome “is children that are born exposed to these drugs and they’re junkies at birth. And they tremble and they cry but they can’t be consoled,” said Irwin, Knox County Juvenile Court judge and former NFL and Tennessee Volunteers offensive tackle. Irwin was featured speaker at The Rotary Club of Farragut during its weekly meeting, Wednesday, Oct. 9, in Fox Den

Country Club. “It’s a terrible, terrible problem,” he added. “… I’m taking babies away from their mommas every day that are born up there that are drug exposed at [East Tennessee] Children’s Hospital and UT Hospital. … These babies aren’t going home with a junkie. “… It’s become pretty much law that Department of Children’s Services can take those children away, and they’re not getting them back. And they’re going to foster homes. I don’t know how they’re going to be when they’re 15, 16 years old and they were born junkies.” However, “Of all the things I’ve See IRWIN on Page 14A

An ice cream cone in the sky! It was a beautiful sky blue morning, when our daughter, Joanna took us to the airport in Portland, Oregon. As we were unloading our luggage, she said, “ M o m , Pam don’t shut Young your door Make it until I make sure Fun! the driver’s door is unlocked.” The car motor was running and Terry had left the keys in the ignition, so she was concerned with the automatic locks. We hugged good-bye and I proceeded to slam the passenger door. Instantly, Joanna’s concern about being locked out became a reality and we had to leave her at the curb of passenger departure with a locked and running Subaru Outback. Leaving my daughter alone with my mistake had me feeling anxious; you know, like how you’d feel if you couldn’t find your purse and then you realized you’d left it in

the cart back at the grocery store or like how you’d feel if your 18month-old disappeared and he turned up outside, half way around the house? I learned a long time ago to ask only one question when bad things happen to good people (like Joanna, Terry and me), “What do I need to learn from this?” Of course the most obvious lesson to learn was to never leave your car running with the keys in the ignition. But going back over the whole event, the best lesson I came up with was really a reminder to know that there is always a higher reason for everything. Who was I to question why Joanna was detained for 45 minutes? She was right where she was supposed to be. Just before we had to buckle our seatbelts and turn off all electronic devises, I got a text message from Joanna saying she was home safely. With that information my heart returned to its normal beat and I could finally relax and indulge my fabulous imagination to think up a higher reason why this event took place. Maybe Joanna had been locked out of our car and forced to wait, because she averted being the cause of a huge pile up on 1-205. If she’d left right when we hugged goodbye, maybe she would have

been on the busy freeway when a small white puffy cloud exactly shaped like an ice cream cone happily displayed its handiwork and Joanna having cut way back on sugar would have been enthralled by the artistic cloud and with her mouth watering and her attention diverted, she wouldn’t have seen the brake lights of the car in front of her and she would have crashed into it without using her brakes, which would have caused the seventeen cars behind her to join the demolition derby. But by the time the locksmith broke into the car and Joanna was driving home, that little cloud would have turned into an innocuous mist. My fantasy made me feel better and it reminded me to always expect that in every moment, we are all in the right place and that worry is such a nasty habit.

It’s wonderful,” said Megan Christian, one of Bearden High’s band directors, along with James Wilson.” It’s the one time of the year when all the high school bands of Knox County School system get to play for each other, and it fosters camaraderie.” “Our Band Booster parents have put all this together,” she said about the exhibition, concessions and sponsors. “They have done a wonderful job.

Christian said there has been an exhibition for a decade but this is the second year Bearden High School has hosted the event. Following the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” performed by Brittany Hodge, Austin East-Magnet High School’s Roadrunners started the band performances. The event continued with Fulton, West, South-Doyle, Gibbs, Central, Karns, Farragut, Carter, Hardin Valley, Halls, Bearden and Powell high schools. Some highlights from the shows included Farragut High’s Superstitions program, featuring drum majors Joey Cole, Josh

Cook and Andrew Sparks. The band is directed by Keith Clupper. Bearden High School presented Revolution Tonight, which depicted the Civil War while Fulton High’s performance featured selections from the movie, “Catch Me If You Can,” and South-Doyle presented Import From Detroit with such sounds as “Reach Out” and “Lose Yourself.” It also featured classical music selections from Gibbs High School, Karns’ program, Finding My Way Back Home and Halls’ program, Method Through the Madness.

Farragut Intermediate School students cheer Lenoir City Utilities Board crew member Scott Burnette, who takes FIS principal, Kay Wellons, on a ride in a bucket truck. Wellons said the ride was a show of appreciation to all the students who sold coupon books this year

FIS exceeds goal ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut Intermediate School Principal Kay Wellons faced her fears Friday, Oct. 11, when she stepped inside a Lenoir City Utilities Board bucket truck, which took her to new heights. Wellons took on the task for her students, who sold 5,670 coupon books as of that day. She was one of three administrators who went above and beyond for students to acknowledge their efforts to sell coupon books. “We still have some in the office,” she said. “If you remember, our goal was 4,000, and we far exceeded our goal.” Because Farragut Intermediate surpassed its goal, students were treated to a Disney movie, “Super Buddies,” Thursday, Oct. 10. The next day students cheered Wellons on as she climbed in the bucket truck and they got to see coach Lucas Fox receive a pie in the face. “I did 31 of these [pie-throwing] last year,” Fox said. At Farragut Intermediate, the top seller in the school was Kailey Bostick, who sold 123 coupon books and won $300. The top seller in the third grade and winner of $100 was Howie Sentell, who sold 75 coupon books. The fourth-grade’s top seller was Abigail Chattin. She sold 113 coupon books and won $100. The fifth-grade’s top seller was Eliza McWhirter, who sold 50 coupon books and won $100. The overall top-selling class, and winner of the Putt-Putt party, was Karen Priode’s class. The top selling classes winning the pizza party were Bobi King’s third-grade

class, Kristi Gallaher’s fourthgrade class and Nicole Thorley’s fifth-grade class. Additionally, Lenoir City Utilities Board donated “mood” rulers to each student, which ties into the schoolwide theme, “Construction Zone: Kids at Work!” Wellons was not the only school administrator or faculty member to go above and beyond for students selling coupon books. Gina Byrd, principal at Farragut Primary School, braved the dunking booth with Keith Cottrell, assistant principal. Their school sold a little more than 5,000 coupon books. “It was awesome,” Byrd said. “We met our goal.” She said 65 students had an opportunity to dunk her and Cottrell. “Between us we were dunked around 25 times.” Farragut Middle School Principal Danny Trent joined Tammy Letsinger, coupon book sales coordinator, and other staff members in a water gun fight Wednesday, Oct. 16, with the students who sold 15 books. Also, students who sold one book on a certain day were treated to a pizza party and dance while students who sold 10 books were treated to a pizza and movie. “We wanted to show the kids that even one book made a difference,” Letsinger said. The middle school sold $4,550 coupon books, which is $1,000 more than last year, said Sandy McRae, attendance secretary. Trent said he is very pleased with the sale. “We are purchasing 30 new computers for the lab with our share [of profits] from the sale,” he said. He

Farragut area residents and businesses had an opportunity Oct. 8 to see how to put out a fire when the Town presented fire safety demonstrations throughout that day and a workshop that evening. Two demonstrations took place in the morning and two in the afternoon to give everyone a chance to come out and experience it, said Colin Cumesty, fire inspector with Rural/Metro Fire Department. During the demonstration, he used a fire simulator and showed the proper way to use the extinguisher. “Last year, we had some businesses that had people come, and we had some senior citizens,” he said. He said residents should be aware that while fire extinguishers have to meet manufacturing codes, there are no standards for inspecting them each year, as there is for businesses and public facilities. “If you don’t have competence in the fire extinguisher, we always recommend you replace it for something you are more comfortable with,” Cumesty said. Owning a fire extinguisher is only one part of the overall home safety plan, he said. Cumesty said the other parts are having working smoke alarms and a home-practiced fire escape plan. The small fire extinguishers people usually buy for a home actually are only able to put out a small stovetop or trash can

fire, he said. He then advised people to first call 911 before trying to put out a fire. “Using a fire extinguisher should never be a replacement for calling the fire department,” he warned. “A fire has a funny way of getting into places you can’t see. We would like to come and make sure the fire is out, so it doesn’t grow where it can’t be seen, like in the walls.” During the workshop, homeowners heard about kitchen and electrical safety, using smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. He advised if a person has a stovetop fire, for example, the

contents of a pan has caught fire, the person should call 911, make sure everyone else is out of the home and the person has a safe escape route, then place a lid that properly fits the pan onto the pan to smother the fire, turn off the stove element then remove the pan from the element. Leave the lid on the pan until the pan is completely cooled. While some people may use baking soda to put out a fire, he warned if not enough baking soda is used, it can make the fire worse.

The Oct. 11 FDCC fundraising event drew a crowd of 240, which was part of Fox Den for a Cure.

Fox Den From page 9A

“We’ve had tremendous support from our members this year,” Largent said. “I think that makes us one of the larger donors.” “Last year, we raised $44,000,” Enser said. “It was a huge event,” Alicia Gross, committee member, said about last year’s event. “We were shocked.” The club’s efforts continued Oct. 12 with Volley for a Cure ProAm and Golf Proximity Challenges. “We get really excited,” said Karen Benedict, one of the committee members. “The players really enjoy it, too,” Enser said. “The pros have taken time off from giving lessons to do this.” The events are the work of a committee, made up of Enser; Largent; Heather Crutcher, clubhouse manager; tennis pro Rob Cameron; golf pro Scott Moran; Karen Benedict; Barb Enser; Missy Fannon; Gross; Margaret Laning; Bobbi Maltsberger; Nancy Schmitz; Carol Stratton and Lisha Venable. “We have a really great committee that holds it all together,” Enser said. Fox Den for a Cure started seven years ago with Volley for a Cure, a tennis event to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for a Cure, Gross said.

Susan G. Komen’s Knoxville affiliate promotes screenings and assists with support for those people diagnosed with breast cancer, she said. Through the years, the club also has hosted a Swim for a Cure Day in the summer, when families can come in and use the facilities and are asked to give a donation of $5 per person or per family. The country club also added Rally for a Cure, a women’s golf event; a Fox Den neighborhood Walk for a Cure; a Girlfriend’s Pink Party; a Golf Proximity Challenge and a Trash to Treasure luncheon and auction. Gross said last year, the event made $3,000 just for the Trash to Treasure auction. Since the club has been raising money for Susan G. Komen for a Cure, it has given more than $123,000 to the Knoxville affiliate, Enser said. “The main thing is [the money] stays here in Knoxville,” Gross said. Enser said he thinks the reason Fox Den for a Cure has been so successful is because the number of activities has grown. “There’s something for everyone,” he said. “Our goal is to incorporate every amenity of the club and get more people involved,” Gross said. “This year, we did a junior Pro-Am tennis program.”

taken a shot at in life, I don’t think I’ve had a better job,” Irwin said. “Imagine if you knew when you woke up that morning that when you went to work you were going to have a chance to make a child’s life better right then with the actions that you have to take. “We hear about 22,000 matters a year. … It’s not as bad as it sounds, but in some ways it’s

worse,” Irwin added. Overall in terms of Knox juvenile trouble, “They’re not doing much wrong now,” Irwin said, adding that Knox County had “one-third” the “delinquent and bad behavior” cases “that Chattanooga had. That’s pretty good. Maybe an eighth of what Nashville had. I’m very proud of that.” “But on the other end of the spectrum, we were only 200 kids below Memphis for the depend-

ent and neglect commitments. … Dependent and neglected are the kids that we have to take away from their parents,” Irwin added. “And the main reason we have to do that right now is because the parents are on prescription medication. They’re misusing prescription medication. … It’s crosses all racial, socio-economic cultural barriers. It affects the rich, it affects the poor, if affects the old, it affects the young.”

are excited about the computer lab,” she said. “The kids did an excellent job.” The top seller at FMS was Colette Quist, a sixth-grader who sold 438 books. She received a $400 gift certificate to Wilderness of the Smokies, $300 in spending

money to use at Wilderness of the Smokies and $800 in cash. The second-place winner was sixth-grader Madelyn Mustard, who sold 201 coupon books. Sixthgrader Grace Lee sold $200, making her the third-place winner.

night. “R.A.’s message was just right and very substantive. I think it’s gong to be one of those events people will say, ‘I wish I had been there.’ It was a great message, and he is a great role model. “We hope to have more of these events in the future,” Neu added. “We want it to become more of a community outreach, not just a CAK event.” In addition to Dickey’s talk, items related to the baseball player went on the auction block to raise money for CAK. One stand-up poster of Dickey was auctioned off for $400 while the other went for $375, and a uniform went for $600. During Dickey’s talk, he related how his parents divorced when he was 11 years old, and he went to live with his father. “As I grew older, I began to understand something was missing for me,” he recalled. While he remembered he grew up being good at sports, he was still wanting more. Then, when he was in the seventh grade, he met someone from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, who invited Dickey to his home. “It changed my life forever,” Dickey said. He learned what he was missing. Before then, Dickey said he had no Christian foundation, but that night he became a Christian. Another life-changing moment took place at that meeting. He met Ann, the FCA member’s sister and Dickey’s future wife. “At that time I thought I would like to be friends with her,” he recalled. In 1993, he was drafted to the Detroit Tigers but did not sign. He attended The University of Tennessee, playing college baseball for the Volunteers. While in college, he said he became involved with FCA on the campus. “As I grew, I began to learn more and more,” he said. Then his baseball career took another turn when he was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 1996. “I knew God wanted me to be a baseball player,” he said, but then the Rangers’ team physician discovered something wrong with his throwing arm and the team reduced its bonus. “I had no guarantee I would keep on going,” he said. “I had to take a chance. I would put faith in someone much greater than myself. “We are thankful we serve a good Lord who gives us second and third chances,” Dickey said. He debuted with the Rangers in 2001 but was considered a conventional pitcher. By 2005, Dickey said he “just ran out of gas.” Then Buck Showalter, the manager, gave him an ultimatum. He remember Showalter telling

him, “We’re going to give you a chance to show you have what it takes. “Why don’t you become a full-time knuckle-baller,” Showater asked. Or, Dickey would get his walking papers. He chose the knuckle ball. “We are all in here because people have made the choice to invest in us,” Dickey said. “I am the product of a lot of people who knew me well in the darkest hours of my life.” His careeer would take him to

the Milwaukee Brewers, the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, the Minnesota Twins, the Seattle Mariners, Triple-A Buffalo Bisons and the New York Mets where he won his 2012 Cy Young Award and finally to the Toronto Blue Jays. He said, through it all, he learned he had to unpack his past – his previous mistakes -- so it would not be left for his own four children.

Junction staff moves to Town Now part of Kingston Pike Orange Curl staff

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

The Hair Junction, which was located at 454 N. Cedar Bluff Road, closed, with the entire staff moving to Orange Curl Salon at 9337 Kingston Pike. “It was a really nice blend,” said Julie Taylor, who owned The Hair Junction and now serves as a hair stylist at Orange Curl Salon. “They had room for us to come over here, which we were real thankful for that. “... The girls here are very welcoming, and of course, I know most of them because I had worked here 17 years ago, and a lot of the girls that had worked then are still here,” Taylor added. Taylor said she worked for 20 years at Orange Curl Salon before owning The Hair Junction for 17 years. “Hair Junction had been there I think about seven years when I took it over, so it had approximately been there 24, 25 years by the time I closed it,” she said. The Hair Junction’s last day was Sept. 28, she said, and The Hair Junction staff’s first day at Orange Curl Salon was Oct. 1. The entire staff that moved from The Hair Junction to Orange Curl Salon also includes Maria White, Krista Richey and

Allison Mize, Taylor said. “Allison is a nail tech, and Krista and Maria are both hair stylists,” she added. Taylor reflected on The Hair Junction. “It was a great opportunity for me,” she said. “I made a lot of new friends. I built a great clientele. The people that I have worked with have been a real blessing to my life, and of course, I give all that glory to God because He’s been the center of

it all. It was just a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t take anything for it, but it was just time for me to let it go with no regrets.” She talked about how she got involved with The Hair Junction initially. “It was just an opportunity that happened because I was working in West Knoxville, and the salon came up for sale,” she said. “And my daddy, he’s been gone 14 years now ... I was a single par-

ent, and I was telling him that it was for sale. ... He said, ‘Well you ought to check into it.’” Her father then checked into it and encouraged the move, Taylor said. “To run your own business, it’s pretty scary,” she said. “Because if you make it, that’s good, but if you don’t, you’ve got two kids depending on you. How are you going to feed them? But God was good to me. I’ve been very blessed.”

By Business For Business Seventh Annual Shop Farragut Holiday Campaign ready to go With Halloween barely in the rear view mirror, one can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! For businesses in Farragut, the coming of the winter holidays also means it’s time to partner with the Farragut Business A l l i a n c e Allison and Town Sousa of Farragut for the By Business, S h o p For Business Farragut Holiday Campaign. Now in its seventh year, the campaign supports registered businesses through free Shop Farragut-branded radio, newspaper, direct mail and television advertising as well as posters, window clings, and extensive social media and website exposure. Perhaps most exciting, however, is the fact that participating businesses have the ability to offer “deals” and information about their holiday events directly to the over 2,000 self-identified Shop Farragut mobile app and

DealMail subscribers. During the campaign period of November 23 through December 31, the Town of Farragut allows registered businesses the opportunity to have an extra sign and waives the $25 special event fee to do so. This signage period is granted in addition to the four periods typically allowed annually. For a business to qualify to participate, it must be located in the Town of Farragut, have a Farragut business privilege license, be listed on the Farragut Business Alliance website, and the Shop Farragut Holiday Campaign registration forms must be submitted for approval. All this information can be found at www.FarragutBusiness.com. If you are a shopper interested in being among the first to hear about Shop Farragut “deals” this holiday season, download the Shop Farragut mobile app (iPhone or Android), or, subscribe to receive DealMail emails at www.ShopFarragut.com. “By Business For Business” is a monthly column by Farragut Business Alliance executive director Allison Sousa.

very name of the tea room, located on Station West Drive. “When I first started the tea room, I didn’t have a name for it,” she said. “... , I couldn’t come up with a name. So I went down through the menu and decided. I just named off everything in the menu that might sound good, and when I said, ‘Apple Cake Tea Room,’ – I knew I wanted to serve specialty teas – and when I said, ‘Apple Cake Tea Room,’ it just clicked. It just sounded very natural and different.” She described the tea room as unique, cozy and comfortable.

“We specialize in the special tea that we make, which is the spiced tea, and we specialize in our apple cake, which we’re named after,” she said. A signature plate is the tea room medley plate, she said, which includes chicken salad, banana bread and cream cheese and fruit. “We serve our homemade quiche,” she said. “Everything’s made here. We specialize in specially making our homemade things here.” The tea room also offers sandwiches and salads and soups. Soups include potato, French onion, chili and the soup of the day, she said. “We don’t know what that [the soup of the day] is

until we come in in the mornings and decide what soup we’re going to have.” The 30th anniversary is special to Henry “because there’s very few places that have made it to 30 years,” she said. “And it’s special to me because when I started out, I got a lot of people, especially a lot of women, that were coming in that were in their 60s and 50s ... and now those same people are coming back, and they’re in their 90s ... and saying, ‘We’re so glad you’re still here. We’re so happy you’re a success.’ I’ve just accumulated a lot of good friends that have supported me over the years, as well as a lot of travelers who come in from everywhere.”

Lady Admirals fight hard in nail biting state semifinal ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

MURFREESBORO — For the third consecutive year the Farragut High School girls soccer team made the Class AAA State Tournament and for the third straight time, the Lady Admirals couldn’t win it all. Farragut (19-3-3) saw its season come to an end with a 3-2

semifinal overtime loss to Ravenwood Friday night, Nov. 1, at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro. The Lady Rattlers and Lady Ads met in September at the Bearden Invitational and played to a 1-1 Ravenwood 3 draw, so it was no Lady Admirals 2 surprise that Friday’s match went to

overtime. “We knew that when we got to the final four that any of those four teams could beat the other,” Farragut head coach Dennis Lindsay said. “This was a disappointment but we played a really good team and unfortunately, we couldn’t quite get it done on that day.” The Lady Rattlers, who lost in Saturday afternoon’s champi-

onship match to Houston, took the lead early Friday night when Dayna Hood scored in the 10th minute. Amber Tanner picked up an assist on the game’s first marker, but she would make a bigger impact on the match after halftime: Tanner scored the Lady Rattlers’ final two goals of the night. Farragut pulled even on an unassisted tally by senior mid-

fielder Katie Cloud in the 31st minute and the two squads were tied at halftime. The Lady Ads took the upper hand early in the second half when Joanda Parchman scored six minutes into the frame. Farragut held a 2-1 lead until Tanner’s goal in the 54th minute knotted the match at 2-2. See LADY ADS on Page 4B

Hawks topple Heritage 42-27 ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

BLOUNT COUNTY — Jordan Jackson won a bet with a teammate about his performance last Friday night, Nov. 1, at Heritage. Meanwhile, Jackson and his Hardin Hawks 42 Va l l e y Academy Heritage 27 Hawks were betting on some good luck — certain other teams losing while the Hawks won its regular season finale — to make the Class 6A playoffs. Jackson That bet failed, despite Jackson and fullback/linebacker Joseph Underwood each scoring three touchdowns in a 42-27 HVA victory versus Heritage. “My good friend and buddy, Chris Thomas, bet me $10 that I wouldn’t score the first time I touched the ball. … First play I touched the ball, I got my $10,” Jackson said about his 58-yard

TD run three minutes into the game. “Scored the touchdown, so it felt pretty good.” While Hardin Valley built a 4213 second-half lead before emptying its bench, Jackson, a senior, added a 4-yard first-quarter scoring run and 38-yard TD scamper early in the third quarter. The Hawks end an up-anddown regular season at 5-5 overall, 3-4 in District 4-AAA. Heritage ends its season 1-9, 0-7. Overall, “The offense came out fast and physical, played hard tonight and did some pretty big things,” said Jackson, who also had a 39-yard run. Underwood, a senior, got loose on a 79-yard middle screen TD pass from quarterback Nathan White with five minutes left in the first half, making it 28-6 at the break. Underwood also scored on touchdown runs of 15 and 13 yards, while getting loose on a 26-yard run. Underwood said his offensive line “opened up huge holes tonight, so we were running up and down the field on them. And the defense played well.

Admirals battle district leading Maryville Rebels ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

A four-game winning streak came to an end for the Farragut H i g h Maryville 48 School football Admirals 7 t e a m Friday night at Bill Clabo Field. The Admirals, however, won’t have much time to brood over a 48-7 loss to Maryville. “Once we watch the film, we have to put this game in the back of our minds,” said

Farragut backup quarterback Jacob Naumoff, who played while Bryan Phillips was sidelined with a knee injury. “We had a good game plan coming into this game but we had Thomas some missed communication and we made a couple of stupid mistakes.” The Rebels (10-0 overall, 7-0

in District 4-AAA) capitalized on Farragut’s early miscues on a night when the stadium scoreboard wasn’t functioning throughout much of the first half. The scoreboard might not have been working but Maryville’s offense had no such power outage. The Rebels scored on their first five possessions and by the time the scoreboard was up and running, Maryville had a 34-0 lead. “I’m really proud because our kids, there’s an expectation on

them,” Rebels’ head coach George Quarles said. “We get everybody’s best effort. We’re everybody’s Super Bowl, so I’m proud that these guys show up ready to play each Friday night, and we’ve showed up 10 times so far.” Maryville was definitely ready on this night. The Rebels took a 7-0 lead when quarterback John Garrett connected with Tyler Vaught on a 15-yard touchdown pass. Running back Jaylen Burgess scored three rushing touch-

downs before the first quarter ended. He scored on a 6-yard run to give the Rebels a 14-0 lead. He added scoring dashes from 2 and 5 yards out to give Maryville a 28-0 lead. In the second stanza, Shawn Prevo scored from 22 yards out to give the Rebels a 34-0 lead. Farragut did manage to block Caden Ryding’s extra point attempt.

Bulldogs hold off William Blount rally ■

TONY MANILLA Correspondent

MARYVILLE — The first nine games of a difficult season for the Bearden Bulldogs followed the same agonizing narrative: a struggling defense that couldn’t seem to get stops, and an offense that just couldn’t catch a break. But after William Blount’s desperation hail mary pass on the final play fell into Bulldogs 28 the wait- Williams Blount 20 ing arms of Bearden’s Hunter Henry, the Dawgs (3-7, 3-4 District 4-AAA) had written a triumphant final chapter for 2013 and sent their seniors out as winners, 28-20. The Bulldogs used big plays on offense and stingy, clutch defending to spoil the Governors’ (2-8, 16) Senior Night and exorcise the demons that had plagued them all season long. “I really can’t even put this into words,” said an emotional

game revealed. I thought we came out and played really well.” Senior Sam Pendergrast converted all five of his extra point kicks. Despite playing with a cast on his broken thumb, senior defensive back Trey Branaum came up with a third quarter interception. “I don’t know how, but I came up with it,” he said. “It was a good game. Our offense did great all night, and our line did good,” Branaum added. “Joseph Underwood, he had a good game tonight. Three touchdowns. “And our defense stepped it up, and we just played hard.” Looking back on the season,

Chandler Greer after the game. “I love this senior class. A lot of things just haven’t gone our way this season in terms of injury and a tough schedule, but those are all excuses. In the end, we got the ‘W’ and that’s all that matters. “It was huge, its everything we worked for these last four years, the sweat, the pain, everything,” senior defensive back Isiah McDaniel said. The Governors threw everything they had at Bearden’s defense, specifically the powerful 210 pound senior tailback Peyton Otis, who gashed the Dawgs for a few big runs, including a 33-yard touchdown in the third quarter. But the Bulldog defense stood tall when they were needed most, and came up with three massive fourth down stops (all in fourth quarter) in their own territory, one of which came at the 3 yard line. Midway through the fourth quarter, Govs quarterback Reed Daniels kept the ball on an option

read and thought he had a running lane outside for the end zone, but linebacker Elijah Helton slammed the door, running Daniels down from behind and forcing a turnover-on-downs. The Governors refused to go away, however, as Daniels tossed a 5-yard touchdown to Noah Jennings with 3:32 remaining in the game to pull his team within one score. When the Dawgs offense couldn’t answer, William Blount mounted one final charge into Bearden territory. Once again, the Bulldogs answered the bell on defense, as Griffin DeLong shot through the heart of the Govs offensive line and sacked Daniels for a huge loss. With only seconds left and no timeouts for the Governors to spare, there was only time for one ultimately doomed last-gasp heave. Along with a stout defensive performance, Bearden’s offense showed its big-play ability, as Xavier Johnson threw for three

touchdowns, two of them to his favorite target Matthew Marlowe (six catches for 124 yards and two touchdowns) and a clutch 25yard strike on a fourth-and-16 to McDaniel that put the Dawgs up 28-7 early in the third quarter. “He came in and busted his tail all week in practice,” Greer said of his senior quarterback. “He said ‘I’m not letting this senior Marlow class go out without a win,’ and it showed tonight, he played hard.” “We knew this would be our last opportunity to get a win this season and, unfortunately, our high school careers, but it was all worth it,” Johnson said. “We executed tonight and did what we had to do to get the win, and all the seniors are happy. I’m glad to

be a part of that.” Despite a trying 2013 campaign, the Bulldog seniors can look back on their time at Bearden High School with pride, as the special experience of being a high school football player extends outside the lines of the field. “What I’ll probably miss most is the relationships I formed,” Greer said. “I’ve been with those guys playing football since Peewee. I never thought they would turn out to be my best friends, but I would die for them. “We’re all one,” said McDaniel as he talked about the “family atmosphere” during his time at Bearden. “All of us are best friends, there is not one person on the team who’s not a part of us.” The win may not send Bearden into the postseason, but it will provide some much needed momentum, which the rising Bulldog team leaders can use as a springboard into 2014.

senior lineman Peyton Miles said, “It started off great, and we just didn’t do the little things in the middle part of the season. We finally just came together towards the end and started playing pretty good football.” Other big plays for HVA included a Chris Hayes interception and 23yard return. Joe DeFur recovered a fumble and hauled in a 16-yard pass. Jack DeFur grabbed a 29yard pass from White. Heritage running back Orlando Bledsoe scored three touchdowns on runs of 11, 8 and 1 yards, not including scampers of 61 and 38 yards. Bledsoe, a junior, said the Hawks “are a great, disciplined team, and they run hard and they play hard and they never give up.” HVA head coach Wes Jones

said his Hawks “played really well. If you look at the scoreboard it’s probably not indicative. “We played well on the offensive side of the football. We blocked people well. Jordan Jackson had a whale of the night, he was up close to 300 yards rushing,” Jones added. “Joseph Underwood made some huge plays for us.” Jones said Underwood’s 79yard touchdown reception “is probably one of the longest in school history.” “Our defense was solid, they created some turnovers,” Jones added. “Heritage has moved the football on some people. “I thought we were a little more sound on our special teams tonight.”

Lady Ads

though we didn’t win a state championship, we came awfully close,” Lindsay said. Farragut reached Friday night’s semifinals with a 5-0 win over Cookeville in the tournament’s opening round Wednesday, Oct. 30. Cloud scored in the third minute and finished with a hat trick. She scored her other two goals in the 43rd and 50th minute respectively. Parchman had an assist on Cloud’s second marker and Abby Prosise assisted on the third. Parchman gave Farragut a 2-0 lead in the 15th minute and Natalie Goetz closed the scoring with a goal in the 68th minute.

From page 3B

The game remained tied throughout regulation and into the 13th minute of overtime. It was then that Tanner scored the game winner off an assist from Lexi Arnold. Farragut, which outshot the Lady Rattlers 15-13, had some late chances but couldn’t convert. It was the second consecutive semifinal loss for the Lady Admirals, who reached the semifinals last season after losing in the championship match in 2011. “We’ve had a great run in the last three seasons and even

CAK, Webb win, Irish limp home from Alcoa ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Friday was a night of mixed results for the three area private schools on the gridiron. Christian Academy of Knoxville, the two-time defending Class 3A State Champion, notched a 42-14 victory over winWarriors 42 l e s s Kingston 14 Kingston. Webb School of Knoxville claimed a Division II-A East/Middle Championship with a 42-6 win over King’s Academy and Knoxville Catholic High School dropped a 49-7 decision at Alcoa in a game that netted t h e Tornadoes a second consecutive District 4-AA title. In Roane County, the Wa r r i o r s Smith used a fast start to crush the winless Yellow Jackets. The win clinched a playoff berth for CAK (4-6 overall, 2-2 in District 4-AA). “We definitely wanted to go out and jump on them early,” Warriors’ head coach Rusty Bradley said. “I challenged our kids before the game to get off to a fast start. “I challenged the kids to take away any excitement that [Kingston] might’ve had.” The Warriors did just as the coach wanted. CAK opened a 21-0 lead in the first quarter as Drew

Jost had a pair of rushing touchdowns and freshman quarterback Cole Smith connected with Phillip Nichols on a 6-yard scoring strike. The CAK defense also was stout against the Yellow Jackets (0-10, 0-4). “I thought our defense did a good job,” Bradley said. “They forced a couple of turnovers and a lot of guys played well.” The win netted the Warriors a postseason bid and a chance for CAK to defend its two consecutive state titles. The Warriors will play at Gatlinburg-Pittman in the first round of the playoffs this Friday, Nov. 8. “We’re excited to be in the playoffs,” Bradley said. “And for us, now, it’s about going 1-0 each week.” Smith, who took over as the Warriors’ starting quarterback midway through the season, went 11-for-12 with 145 yards and threw for two scores. His second TD pass was another 6-yard pass to Nichols in the second stanza. CAK had a balanced attack as Jost rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns. He had scoring runs from 16 and 5 yards out after halftime. “I thought Drew Jost did a nice job running the ball,” Bradley said. Meanwhile in Seymour, Webb won its seventh consecutive game. The Spartans used a potent running attack to dismantle the Lions (5-5, 2-3). Todd Kelly, Jr. ran for 354 yards and scored three touchdowns for Webb, which will have a firstround bye this week.

Kelly Jr., a Tennessee Volunteers commitment, opened the scoring with a 23 yard scoring scamper. He added TD runs of 41 and 6 yards respectively. He was the star of the game but he got plenty of help from Robby Strachan, Matthew Melton and Thomas Jordan, a youngster for t h e Spartans. Spartans 42 “ We ’ r e not a one- King’s Academy 6 back offense,” Webb coach David Meske said. “We have to have all of our backs contribute. “Matthew has over 800 yards but the remarkable thing for me is that he’s averaging over 12 yards per carry. He runs a 4.4 [40-yard dash] and Robby’s right there with him. I think he runs a 4.5.” Melton had a 31-yard touchdown scamper and Kelly Strachan scored from 10 yards out in the game. Jordan scored on a 6-yard run and is one of Webb’s younger

players. “We have some other good kids [at running back] and they’ve got some chances to play,” Meske said. “Our defense has been really good all year and our offensive line has continued to improve.” The Spartans (7-2) may not play Friday but Webb won’t be taking it easy this week. “We’re going to practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and those practices are going to be hard,” Meske said. “We’ll have a bye this week and then we’ll most likely play University School of Jackson and they beat us a couple of years ago.” At Alcoa, KCHS (7-3, 3-1) limped into its showdown against the Tornadoes and things only got worse once the Irish took the field. Catholic committed three turnovers early in its own territory and Alcoa, which claimed its second consecutive district title, wasted little time capitalizing on a muffed punt and two fumbles. Alcoa scored 21 points off those Irish miscues. “We had a special teams turnover and two offensive turnovers early inside our 30-yard line and we gave them a short

field,” KCHS head coach Steve Matthews said. “Alcoa is a great football team and coach [Gary] Rankin does a great job. “You can’t give them a short field.” Catholic, which will host DeKalb County in a first-round playoff game at Blaine Stadium Friday night, got its lone touchdown on a run by Alcoa 49 Logan Fighting Irish 7 Lacey, a fullback who has played quarterback the last two weeks. Matthews, whose squad has been without as many as 10 starters recently, said that some of those injured players will be back as Catholic begins its postseason run. “We’ve been pretty beat up but the good thing is that we’ll probably be getting Lacey most of those guys back,” he said.

held on downs, finally got on the board when sophomore running back Tanner Thomas had a 47yard touchdown run with 2 minutes, 16 seconds remaining in the first half. “I hit the hole hard and I just saw grass,” said Thomas, who had 98 yards on 14 carries. “Then I saw another guy come up and I bounced off him and was able to score.” The Ads must now put Friday night’s loss to the Rebels in the rearview mirror because they have a tough playoff game against Science Hill in Johnson City Friday night, Nov. 8. “I know they’re a pretty good football team,” FHS head coach Eddie Courtney said of the Hilltoppers. “They beat Kingsport [Dobyns-Bennett] for the first time in 15 years and they scored 21 points late to beat them. “They’re playing really good football right now and we’ll have to put the Maryville game behind us because, right now, it doesn’t really mean that much. It would’ve been another win on our overall record.” Courtney also commended Naumoff’s effort. “I thought he played smart and he didn’t try to do it all by himself,” Courtney said of his backup field general. “He tried to get everybody around him involved.” The coach also noted that Phillips is expected to return for the playoffs. “He should be ready by midweek,” Courtney said of Phillips. Maryville finished off the scoring with a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter. Prevo gave the Rebels a 41-7 lead with a 2-yard plunge at the 8:34 mark of the frame. Vaught, Maryville’s backup quarterback, connected with

clinched a playoff berth with a 42-14 victory at Kingston. The Warriors (4-6) finished third in District 4-AA (behind the Tornadoes and the Irish) and won two of their four district games. Bearden’s season also is over but the Bulldogs (3-7) downed William Blount 28-20 to end the 2013 campaign on a high note. All three of Bearden’s victories came in the district this season. The Bulldogs had wins over Lenoir City, the Governors and Heritage. Catholic entered Friday’s tilt against Alcoa ravaged by injuries. The Irish had three early turnovers and Alcoa scored 21 points off KCHS miscues. Logan Lacey had Catholic’s lone touchdown. Catholic hosts DeKalb County this week in a Class 4A playoff tilt and will get some of its injured players back for the postseason run.

Despite losing its last two games, Knoxville Catholic High School has won the farragutpress How the West Was Won Presented by 3 Minute Magic Carwash award in 2013. The Irish (7-3) dropped games at Webb and Alcoa but edged the Farragut Admirals for the trophy. KCHS played for the District 4AA Championship at Alcoa last week. The bruised and battered Irish, which won its first six games this year, came up on the short end of a 49-7 decision in Blount County. Meanwhile, FHS fell to Maryville 48-7 on Senior Night at Bill Clabo Field. The Ads (6-4) took second in this year’s competition and will play at Science Hill in the opening round of the Class 6A Playoffs. Hardin Valley Academy (5-5) will miss the postseason in 2013 but the Hawks closed out the campaign with a 42-27 District 4AAA over Heritage Friday night in Maryville. Meanwhile, two-time defending Class 3A state champion Christian Academy of Knoxville

Tyler Vaught threw and caught a touchdown pass. Running back Shawn Prevo also scored twice in the game. Farragut, which was without starting quarterback Bryan Phillips (strained ACL), got its lone score on a 47-yard scamper by Tanner Thomas. Thomas had 98 yards on the night. Senior Jacob Naumoff started at quarterback and went 8-for-18 for 75 yards. CAK has battled ups and downs all season but the Warriors got off to a fast start and dismantled the winless Yellow Jackets in Roane County. Freshman quarterback Cole Smith threw for 145 yards and tossed a pair of 6-yard touchdown passes to Phillip Nichols. Smith completed 11 of his 12 pass attempts for the Warriors, who darted to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter. CAK boasted a balanced attack. Running back Drew Jost scored four touchdowns and rushed for 174 yards on 20 carries. The Warriors will open postseason play at GatlinburgPittman this Friday. Hardin Valley will miss the playoffs for just the second time

in school history but the Hawks ended the 2013 campaign by routing the Mountaineers (0-10). Running back Jordan Jackson had three touchdown runs at Heritage. He dashed for scores from 58, 38 and 4 yards out. Joe Underwood scored on a 79yard screen pass from quarterback Nathan White. Und-erwood also scored on a 13-yard run. The Bulldogs, like the Hawks, won’t be around for the playoffs.

But Bearden also won its final game as it edged William Blount 28-20 at Mike White Field in Maryville. Xavier Johnson threw for three touchdowns and ran for another.
