Town enters into branding program agreement ■
TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com
Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to approve a professional services agreement with North Star Destination Strategies of Nashville to provide research for branding and marketing the Town during its Thursday, Feb. 13, meeting. The contract with North Star is for $62,000 plus expenses not to
exceed $2,000. Town administrator David Smoak said Town officials have been talking about a brand for the Town for a few years as part of its strategic plan. “We’re trying to sit down and think about what our brand is and what is unique about the town of Farragut for those people who live here, those people who have businesses here and those people who come to visit our
Town from outside areas,” he said. The Board has never embarked on a full-scale branding and marketing campaign with a comprehensive system of research, which is expected to take 36 weeks to complete, he said. This year, the staff sent out requests for proposals to marketing firms. The staff and a committee, consisting of the
Economic Development Committee and the Farragut Business Alliance, received proposals from 15 different firms, interviewed four of them and selected North Star because they thought it was the best company with which to work. North Star agreed to conduct that research and leave the advertising and actual implementation of the plan to the Town.

Smoak said North Star has provided branding services to more than 175 communities in the past 13 years. “They do a lot with this research,” Smoak said. “They have members that they have pulled in with their group that work with the state of Tennessee Economic Development Department.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car received approval from Farragut Municipal Planning Commission to postpone building a cross access drive and nine parking spaces on its property at 12019 Kingston Pike during the FMPC meeting, Thursday, Feb. 20. The approval passed unanimously with Commissioner Noah Meyers adstaining. As part of Enterprise’s site plan, approved Sept. 19, 2013, and consistent with a plat recorded in 2009, Commission approved a cross access drive to be constructed on the north end of the parking lot north of the Enterprise building. That access was supposed to be built when abutting property at 12027 Kingston Pike, belonging to Edna and Hobert Bailey, was developed. “This would provide an access way connecting parking lots so that someone could more easily travel from one property to the other without having to re-enter Kingston Pike,” Mark Shipley, then interim Community Development director, said. Shipley said the Enterprise project provides more parking spaces than it required. Enterprise asked if it could delay constructing the cross access drive and extra parking spaces until a later date because of budget issues and since those parking spaces are not required

roughly 40 to 50 homeless “and people from the projects” bused into Knoxville, giving each a free ticket among the 150 tickets Sulack bought and gave away for viewing the 2 hour, 15-minute movie.

The former Ott’s Barbeque at 12828 Kingston Pike is expected to house a new business, Big Kahuna Wings, since its owner, Matt Beeler, has received Farragut Planning Commission’s approval to expand the property and modify access to the property off Kingston Pike. Beeler said he struck the deal this month for the lease pending the Commission’s approval and plans to be open in May. Commissioners voiced no objections to the expansion but discussed concerns over modifying access off Kingston Pike during its Thursday, Feb. 20, meeting. Beeler, who is leasing the property from MBH Incorporated, wants to provide more dining space and make the building more usable. He also wants to convert the access from a right in/right out configuration to one that would also permit a left in access for westbound traffic, but no left-out access.

look forward to helping Farragut continue to be a desirable place to live and do business.” Before Shipley took on the role as interim director, he served as former director Ruth Hawk’s assistant. Hawk resigned as Community Development director in mid-August 2013. As community director, Shipley is in charge of code enforcement and planning divisions for the Town. Shipley told the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen he faces challenges regarding his department’s workspace, especially with storage, and automating his records. Shipley also said he would like his department’s staff to help residents with their zoning concerns and not just enforce codes.

ing certain improvements but would also not want to leave this too open-ended,” he said. Commissioner Betty Dick suggested removing the parking spaces from the site plan altogether, and using that for a buffer zone. “That would be the decision of Enterprise,” Shipley said. “If they are not building it anytime soon, I don’t see why we don’t leave it alone. Let another planning commission deal with it,” Mayor Ralph McGill said. “I think there’s some logic to not doing it now anyway,” Shipley said.

and the access drive will not be needed until the adjacent property is developed. Also, Shipley added the Bailey property might not be developed for many years. Instead, Enterprise asked if it could build a little turn-around at the end of the parking lot. Shipley said his staff was concerned with how the Town could be assured the cross access drive would be constructed in the future. “It could potentially be tied to the development of the Bailey tract and noted on the subdivision plat that will be required prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Enterprise Rent-A-Car facility,” Shipley said. Shipley added he and Darryl Smith, Town engineer, wondered if there should be a time frame needed to ensure the road would be constructed. “The staff is not opposed to working with Enterprise on stag-

townview: Town to launch branding program this spring What defines the town of Farragut? What makes us special? What makes us stand out among o t h e r cities and towns? Is branding just a logo or a sloDavid gan? N o t Smoak really. Farragut A brand Town is what Administrator “they” say about us — when we are not around. So how do we affect what people are
saying about Farragut and elevate the regard that residents, tourists and business prospects have for our community? With the launch of a comprehensive branding program this spring, we hope to answer these and many more questions that will help guide the town of Farragut well into the future. At its Feb. 13 meeting, the Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a contract with Nashville-based North Star Destination Strategies. Launched in 2000, North Star is a national leader in its industry, developing community brands for nearly 200 communities in 40 states nationwide. This 34-36 week integrated
process includes research, strategy and creative development. Research — the first and arguably most important stage — will comprise about 80 percent of North Star’s work, utilizing more than 15 pieces of qualitative and quantitative research to paint a thorough picture of where Farragut is today. Everyone who lives and works in Farragut will have an opportunity to share their perspective, and I highly encourage you to become actively involved in this process. Through this valuable research, North Star will help the Town develop an integrated brand that not only preserves our unique identity of the past but

bridge downtown as well. We did it to 600 homeless underneath the bridge,” Sulack said. “We did a whole portable situation; movie screens. We did it for ‘The Passion of the Christ.’ We had 600 backpacks that we filled up for the homeless. I fed everybody. We had music.” Sarah Smith said she knew about “Son of God” and Sulack’s promotion “because my husband [Jim] goes to Dr. Pete.” Saying he’d heard good reviews about the movies, Jim Smith added about Sulack, “I’m very impressed with his practice and also with his personal witness, the faith that he professes.
It’s been a good experience for me.” Ann Walden, another Exodus patient, said she “wanted to come, and I invited some friends to come here. … I think it’ll be a great movie.” Overall in 2014, “I’m set up to do 10 to 12 nights of movie premiers throughout Knoxville and Nashville this year,” Sulack said. Upcoming promoted movies this year include “Heaven is for Real” and “Mary.” Internationally, “I’ll do another big crusade in India at the end of the year,” Sulack said, adding that Latin America and Africa are possibilities.
view, be more safe and desirable.” Shipley said while he understands the applicant’s point regarding the approach off South Hobbs Road, he said the westbound turn into the property could conflict with eastbound turns into Summit View Nursing Home property. Commissioner Noah Myers, vice president of MBH Inc., which owns the property, said the current access into that property has been a hardship
and a safety hazard. ‘We’re just trying to make a bad situation not quite so bad,” Myers said. Commissioner Ed Saint Clair said there is a complication for motorists coming in the other direction, too. “We’re hoping the design we propose mitigates that,” Myers said. “I think [the modification] will be an improvement,” St. Clair said.
He recommended approving of the contract with the firm. Alderman Jeff Elliott asked if the scope of the firm’s type of research expertise could be extended to projects, such as the Russell House, McFee Park and community center. “Could this be a project that could be widened, and at the
same time, targeted to certain objectives for the Town?” he asked. Smoak said there are elements North Star may be able to do but its main focus will be determining what will drive people to come to Farragut.

ing the movie after which “around two dozen made a decision to give their lives to Christ. … I thought it was a great success.” Previous pro-Christian movies with a similar promotion and outreach from Sulack, dating back to 2004, include “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Chronicles of Narnia” (drawing 1,500), “End of the Sphere” and “One Night With the King.” Sulack hasn’t been above creating a makeshift movie location to reach the local homeless. “I’ve done it underneath the

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
Revisiting the late 1970s to remind all about the evolution of womanhood’s power in the workplace, Farragut High School’s Admiral’s Performing Arts Company presents the comedy/drama musical “9 to 5.” “There are very few shows in musical theater that have such a strong acceptance for women in their important roles in society, junior Brianna Smart, who plays Judy Bernly, said. “This is a show that shows how three completely different women make a huge change in society and what’s going on around them. I think that should be a major reminder for people today. Even though that [movie debuted] in 1979, that is still very relevant today.” Though a movie roughly 35 years old, “It’s a new musical, it’s only a couple of years old. The rights haven’t been out that long,” David Crutcher, FHS drama teacher and 9 to 5 director, said. This roughly two-hour musical
begins at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday evening, March 7-8, and 3 p.m., Sunday, March 9, in FHS’s Vickie B. Wells Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students, children and seniors. As for Smart’s character, “I love Judy very much,” she said. “She’s a very mousie and nervous human being. She is being thrown into this just huge environment. To get to play somebody who goes through such a huge transformation, from someone who is even terrified to work on a typewriter to a person willing an lead and office and be confident in herself is just a wonderful process to go through.” Sophomore Rachel Liske plays Doralee Rhodes. “She’s just like this really big, fun character,” Liske said. “But deep down she has a lot of sadness because she knows that people just look at her and they’re judging her based on her appearance; she has this big hair and crazy makeup and crazy outfits on and stuff. “She’s the most difficult character I’ve ever played,” added
Liske, whose first musical “was when I was in the third grade.” “I’ve been working on the country accent a lot. … Vocally it’s very challenging.” However, “It’s so much fun.” Senior Dallas Boudreaux plays Violet Newstead. “She’s hard for me to play because she’s so demanding,” Boudreaux said. “When she does something, she does it well. … She’s kind of like a perfectionist and I’m not personality wise. … She is really a headshot character. She kind of like heads the whole operation.” However, “I really like playing Violet because she goes from that to, like, letting people in. … She just kind of like opens up towards the end,” Boudreaux added. The musical will be performed with members of FHS Orchestra, led by Michelle Clupper and musical director Kenton Dykes. Senior Hannah Bowlin, an APAC assistant stage manager, said she never gets tired of “9 to 5” despite having “watched it “over a dozen times. It never gets boring.”

Not tonight deer! We live way out in the country in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, and while I know our home and garden invaded the wild animals’ t e r r i t o r y, I’m like a Pam self-righteous pio- Young neer with Make it the attiFun! tude IT’S M I N E NOW! I really love wild animals and know by living in the wilderness they come with the territory. However, there’s one species, I’ve crossed off my list as enjoyable to watch. The deer. Last summer I had a beautiful Gladiola garden, which was going to be the centerpiece for a
neighborhood, backyard barbeque and garden party. The night before the party, Rose (that’s what I named this doe because she destroyed my red rose bushes in one night) and her adorable twins Petunia and Pansy ate just the Gladiola blossoms from EVERY stalk. Void of color, the assortment of barren stems reminded me of stalks of corn sprouting cornless cobs swaying in the breeze. That garden was the centerpiece of conversation all right, because it was, well, pathetic. This spring I’m going to be organized and go to war to protect my beloved plants. We’ve lived here eleven years and I’ve tried every product on the market to repel the deer, to include little bell shaped containers filled with blood meal, brands such as Deer Stopper, Doe Away!, Oh Doe Regard and Not Tonight Deer, as well as human hair, human urine, dog hair, soap bars hung in pantyhose (such a lovely touch in a flower garden) and

chicken wire all over the ground (I was told they hate to step on it). These products and methods seem to work for a while, but I think the deer become familiar with the repellents over time and think, ‘I’m not falling for this one anymore.’ Because of that thought, my plan is to switch off the various repellents weekly. Week One, I’ll use human hair from the salon where I get my once-a-month haircut. My stylist has promised to collect it for me. I’ll mix it with hair from my

Two Rivers mission to help Guatemala ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Two Rivers Church is involved in mission work to Guatemala, including seven annual mission trips to the country. David Gruhn, adult ministries and outreach pastor with Two Rivers Church, said the trips the church takes to Guatemala include five adult trips, one trip that high school seniors make and one trip for young adults. “We’re working with two pri-
mary partners in Guatemala: one’s a local church and then one is a doctor who works with a mission agency there that does medical mission work in remote villages,” Gruhn said. “So a lot of our work is with people in remote villages and really all over Guatemala.” The church that Two Rivers Church works with is in Guatemala, and the doctor it works with is from Guatemala, Gruhn said.

Young From page 6A
three dog friends in the neighborhood. Week Two, I’ve asked Terry to start peeing around specific flower gardens (all out of sight from our neighbors). He’s agreed to increase his intake of water on that week and I’ve agreed to pee in an empty mayonnaise jar and do my fair share. Week Three, I found that blood meal comes in a big sack so I won’t spend money on little bells; I’ll just shake the stuff around my flowers. Week Four, I’ll spray with Deer Stopper as this product seemed
to work the best for the longest period of time. If this repellent routine doesn’t work, I’m going to have to take some drastic action. I’ll call the Pentagon to see how much it would cost to have a drone focus on our acreage for a month or two so I can track the critters’ habitual routes through my yard and I’ll set up guard stations at those key points of entry. That’ll mean some all-nighters for Terry and me. (We can take turns.) And as a last resort, I just might have to bring out the B-B gun I bought after the Gladiola Massacre. (To date I’ve been unable to shoot at those furry
flower eaters, because Nelly, my inner child, refuses to let me pull the trigger. Plus I’m really a lousy shot so even if I did take aim and shoot I’d probably miss.) I’d love to hear from all you country-dwelling gardeners on your success with this problem. For more from Pam Young go to www.makeitfunanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, ways to lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

“I thought the quality of the work submitted was impressive, as was the variety of the medium and approach,” she said. “Artists have unique visions, and I think there are a lot of that in this show.” Urello added the show will be a beautiful event, not to be missed. The council has partnered with the garden club in this art show, which is scheduled to take place Friday and Saturday, May 16-17, in the Town Hall. “There will be floral designs paired with art objects, which will be selected by garden club mem-

Different mission trips to Guatemala have different focuses. Four of the trips are medical missions, he said. “We do a trip that’s focused on helping do some building in small communities,” he said. “... We do another trip that’s in support of leadership training and Bible training. And then we do another trip that’s the family trip.” The family trip involves the missionaries from Two Rivers conducting a camp, he said. These seven trips to Guatemala happen each and every year, and they have the same focuses from
bers,” Dean said. She added not every piece of art will have a floral design paired with it. In addition to the art show, the Dixie Highway Garden Club will hold a standard flower show in May at the Town Hall. Among this year’s artists are Nortrude DePorter of Farragut. “Instead of having them [her art] sit at home, I thought I would put them out,” DePorter said. A member of the Knoxville Horticulture Society, the pieces depicted flowers. Linda Johnson, an artist from Tellico Village, saw the Farragut show as an opportunity to showcase her work and entered five
pieces. “My passion is flowers in my garden or the palette,” she said. “I just love doing art, and any opportunity I have to display it, I am there,” Gary Everett of West Knoxville said. The judging took place Saturday, Jan. 11, and Dean said the artists have received their letters. Now, they will wait until May to learn who won the show. This is the first time in eight years the council has held such a show. Its main event is Bookfest For Children, but this year, Sue Stuhl, Town Parks and Leisure Services director, said the council would be able to do both.
year to year for the most part, he said. What led the church into the work in Guatemala is relationship, he said. “The way we do ministry is based on relationship, and that’s a place that we feel like God provided us relationship, so that began,” he said. Membership with Two Rivers is not required to go on one of the mission trips, he said. “But they are our church-sponsored trips,” he said. “We’re not doing them through an outside agency.” Two Rivers Church is also involved with Germany, he said. Approximately one mission trip
a year is taken from Two Rivers Church to Germany, he said. That trip is mainly focused on prayer ministry. The church has a relationship with two churches that are in Germany, he said. Gruhn talked about the importance of the mission work to Guatemala and Germany for the church. “It’s the primary thing that we do on a global scale,” he said. “It’s an important piece of what we do in our international mission. It’s not all we do anywhere in the world, but this is the primary – we would call them focus countries, focus areas – it’s the primary areas where we’re involved.”

Fleet Feet looks to train ■
ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com
Fleet Feet Knoxville, 11619 Parkside Drive in Farragut, offers 5K training programs that began in February and triathlon training that will start this month. “Also I’m the head coach, so I oversee all the different training programs that we do,” owner Shahin Hadian said. Fleet Feet Knoxville has programs for beginners looking to train for a 5K, more advanced runners looking for 5K training and 10K, SpeedPlay and long-distance training plus different levels of triathlon training, he said. “We offer training programs from your couch-to-5K, beginnernot-runner-type person, all the way up to your ultra distance, runner triathlete,” he said. “So we offer, during the year, programs
that would help someone for the first time ever walk or run a 5K or finish a spring triathlon, and at the same time we have programs for folks that are doing their marathons.” While these programs are offered at Fleet Feet Knoxville, FFK also operates some Maryville-Alcoa-Blount County Parks & Recreation Commission programs, including two for 5K training plus triathlon training. To sign up, visit www.fleetfeetknoxville.com/training/ No Boundaries Path to 5K Beginners Training Program — the name of the couch-to-5K beginner running — has three different seasons during the year in which it takes place, Hadian said, as does the No Boundaries II Advanced 5K Training. Current season for the 5K training program began Feb. 25 for
Fleet Feet Knoxville. “A beginner’s needs are maybe discipline in scheduling of activity, so they don’t get injured,” Hadian said. “It’s proper form, so they don’t get injured ... and possibly proper clothing, proper fit, proper hydration, so they don’t get hurt. “So the goal for the beginner is education and being able to stay motivated,” Hadian added. “So part of what they get is we do what is called a good form clinic, and we work on form, proper form of running. We talk about fit, footwear fit. ... For every male runner, the footwear is the most important thing to healthy running. For women, it’s the footwear and the sports bra.” The programs at Fleet Feet Knoxville are scheduled to meet twice a week, he said. Its Knox County 5K training programs end in May.

Peggy Grant is the owner of KnoxVillage Doula, a postpartum doula business that she runs out of her Farragut home. “Basically it is to help families after the birth of a child,” Grant said. The business is in its infancy. Grant began the business in January. “As a postpartum doula, my job is to take care of the mother first, the baby second, the family third and the household fourth,” she said. “So I am trying to navigate new families through the experience of having a new child in their family.” The focus is on care of the mother first, she said, “Because as doulas, we want the momma to take care of the baby. I can go in, and I can keep a baby quiet and I can feed a baby and do all that, but if the momma is not on her best game, she’s not going to be able to do the best for her baby.” As a postpartum doula, her role usually begins once the family is home after the birth of a child, she said. Though the business is run out of her home, Grant, 52, travels to her clients. Clients come from Knox County and the surrounding area. Grant described her experience with her first client. “I was in their home for seven weeks, and during those seven weeks, they were moving to Minnesota, so I was doing a lot of the help with the baby when I was there and helping her pack and giving her emotional support,” she said. “But once they left, I have a really wonderful family that I’m connected to in Minnesota.” Labeling herself a “postpartum doula in training,” Grant said she will get certified through the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association. She hopes to be certified sometime this summer. For more information, visit knoxvillagedoula@icloud.com.

Lady Admirals barely miss state ■
ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com
On its home floor, Farragut’s Lady Admirals were one desperation shot away, just before the final buzzer sounded, from going to the program’s first ever state basketball tournament. While a 17-footer from FHS sophomore Miranda Burt was too long as time expired, sending Jefferson County to Murfreesboro with a 42-40 substate win Saturday night, March 1, another huge shot moments before was equally big. After Farragut leading 39-34 on a Miranda Maples driving basket with 2:51 to play, Lady Patriots freshman post Makalla Woolard took a rare three-point jumper roughly 23 seconds later. She nailed it. “We didn’t have her as being able to Lady Patriots 42 m a k e t h a t Lady Admirals 40 shot,” Jason Mayfield, FHS head coach, said. “ [Madyson] Newby played it like she was supposed to.” Following one free throw from Lady Admirals junior guard Anna Woodford, Jefferson County (22-11) tied things up. “The big thing was losing [Autumn] Dotson, No. 21, she made some huge shots,” Mayfield added about Jefferson County’s top three-point threat, as the guard tied things from long range, 40-40, with 1:48 to play. “I thought we had it, a fivepoint lead, but they just made some really big shots,” Mayfield added. From there it was simple: a Farragut turnover with 1:36 to go preceded the Lady Patriots stalling for the final shot. Though the Lady Admirals almost had a steal near midcourt at the 22-second mark. Jefferson County kept the ball and called timeout with 9 seconds showing. JCHS guard Tori Griffin then went hard to the basket and drew a foul at the 6-second mark. “I thought Becca

[Jameson] played great defense on the last play,” Mayfield said. Griffin sank both tosses before Farragut’s full court advancement fell short. FHS finishes the program’s best winning percentage season ever at 28-3. “What I just told them [in the locker room]: our seniors did everything I ever ask them to, and more,” Mayfield said of Jameson (10 points), Maples (10 point) and Newby (six points). “There’s not a group that
deserved [going to state] more than them. I apologized to them for not being able to get them down there. “You have to give credit to Jeff County, they came with a plan. … That’s a young basketball team,” Mayfield added. Sue Yun-Kim, FHS junior point guard, said the Lady Patriots “made some big shots at the end.” Especially effective with its screens and cuts to the basket
without the ball in the third quarter, Jefferson County built a 26-22 lead in what was an extremely tight back-and-forth contest. Woolard led JCHS with 13 points. “We gave up a few too many lay-ups there in the third quarter,” Mayfield said. A Jameson three-point jumper, Burt’s driving lay-up and consecutive three-point baskets by FHS reserve post Kristen Freeman and reserve wing
Annie McMurry had the Farragut fans rocking. The 11-3 run gave the Lady Admirals a 3329 lead with 40 seconds left in the third quarter. It was 33-32 after three quarters. Woodford said, “It was a dogfight the whole game all the way through. It could have gone either way for sure.” Freeman added about the seniors, “I want to carry on the tradition they’ve set for us. … I’m excited for next year.”
Up-and-down season ends for FHS Admirals hockey, 7-1, vs. Knights ■ KEN LAY
Correspondent
An up-and-down season ended on a sour note for the Farragut High School hockey club Thursday, Feb. 13. The Admirals, who battled injuries and depth issues all season, saw their seaKnights 7 son come Admirals 1 to a screeching halt with a 7-1 loss to the Knoxville Knights in the Moore Cup semifinals at the Icearium. The loss ended Farragut’s season short of a second consecutive Moore Cup Championship and another trip to the state tournament. “That was probably not a bad thing because you’ll need a deeper bench,” Farragut coach Rob
Despins said of failing to make the state tournament. The Ads (5-8-1) battled injuries all season and were without defenseman Austin Scheidt, who was out with a concussion. “When you only have eight skaters, missing a player like Austin is really big,” Despins said. “A skater like him can really make a difference. “He has a concussion and he hasn’t been playing travel hockey either. He probably wouldn’t have been ready for a couple of more weeks.” Scheidt was sorely missed against Knoxville (6-7-1) as the Knights, the tournament’s second seed, started fast and scored four goals in the first eight minutes of the contest. Knoxville took a 1-0 lead just 34 seconds into the game when Mason Jobe scored off an assist from Aaron Liner. Jobe’s shot hit
the post and trickled past Tatum Magill and over the goal line. From there, it was all downhill for the Ads. “I think it all came down to the number of players that we had,” Farragut’s Gavin Gauld said. “Harley [Gorlewski] and I have played together for four years and we had a lot of fun and we had a good career. “But it’s really disappointing to end like this.” The Knights took a 2-0 lead when Colin King scored with 11 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the first period. Knoxville was efficient on this night as it scored on three of its first four shots and tallied four first-period goals on just eight shots. Jacob Givens gave the Knights a 3-0 lead with 10:23 to go. King’s second marker of the contest made the score 4-0 with 5:16
remaining and closed the scoring in the first stanza. Farragut might’ve been a little shell-shocked after the first period, but the third-seeded Ads attempted to claw their way back into the contest. FHS opened the second frame with an offensive flash as it finally tested Knights’ goaltender Connor Clarke. The Ads managed to fire 10 shots on net but Clarke saved nine of those scoring chances for Knoxville, which took a 5-0 lead on Jobe’s second marker of the contest early in the frame. The Admirals finally got on the board when Felix Bjurstrom took a pass from Gauld and curled the puck under the post and past Clarke. “That was a tough shot,” said Bjurstrom, who ended his senior season as the league’s leading scorer with 26 points (17 goals and nine assists), “The goalie had
a screen in front of him at the net and he didn’t see it.” Bjurstrom was the scoring champion, but that wasn’t the award he wanted. “It sucks not to get to go to the state,” he said. “We tried but it just didn’t happen for us.” Jobe extended the Knights’ advantage to 6-1 when he completed his hat trick with 4:39 remaining in the second period. At the intermission, Despins couldn’t find anything to say. “When we went into the room at the end of the period, I couldn’t really say anything to them because they were just exhausted,” Despins said. “They did have enough to play another period.” Jobe’s fourth goal represented the lone scoring in the final frame. He scored with 8:34 remaining, and from that point the game was played with a running clock.
