Social media hoax causes stir ■

Tammy Cheek

A rumor circulating through social media at Farragut High and Middle schools kept many youth from attending a church gathering Wednesday, Sept. 16, at Two Rivers Church in Lenoir City.

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

A false report of a terrorist threat spread through social media kept away Farragut High and Middle school youth from a Student Ministries meeting Wednesday, Sept. 16, at Two Rivers Church, 275 Harrison Road, Lenoir City. Because of the social media reports, Brad Brinson, senior pastor of Two Rivers Church, said Thursday, Sept. 17, that about 40 high school and 70 middle school students did not attend the Sept. 16 meeting. However, he said 100 high school students and 90 middle school students did attend. “Early reports we are receiving from friends in Knox County law enforcement are assuring us this was a classic example of

gossiping tongues lighting a destructive fire,” Brinson said. “Late [Wednesday, Sept. 16] afternoon, we became aware of a rumor rapidly spreading via social media among Farragut high-schoolers and middle schoolers,” Brinson said. “The rumor suggested someone had taken pictures of Two Rivers Church to initiate a terrorist attack on those gathering on our campus.” He said while he and other church staff considered the threat to be unlikely, they immediately called Loudon County Sheriff’s Office and Knox County Sheriff’s Office and contacted everyone on the church’s database. “[Loudon County Sheriff’s Office] responded promptly and See HOAX on Page 2A

Knox County Health Department personnel will visit Farragut Primary, Intermediate and Middle schools between Friday, Oct. 16, and Friday, Oct. 23, to administer FluMist vaccinations.

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Students in Farragut schools have an opportunity to be inoculated against influenza when Knox County Health Department holds in-school FluMist vaccinations. FluMist will be provided Friday, Oct. 16, at Farragut Primary School, Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Farragut Intermediate School and Friday, Oct. 23, at Farragut Middle School, Katharine Killen, Knox County Health Department community relations director, said. “We’re also holding FluMist clinics at daycares, Head Starts and private schools in the Farragut area,” Killen said. Killen said FluMist is an intranasal influenza vaccine that is approved by the Food and Drug

Administration for use in children as young as age 2. Children younger than 2 years old will receive a flu shot at the vaccination clinics, and no child will be vaccinated without a completed, signed and returned consent form, she said. The initial phase of the vaccinations will begin Friday, Sept. 25, and continue through Monday, Oct. 26, in Knox County Schools. They are being administered to reduce the flu’s burden in the community, she said. “Vaccination is the best tool to protect yourself from getting sick with the flu,” Killen said. “On average, KCHD has vaccinated approximately 45 percent of Knox County’s school-aged children each year,” she said. “This program is a national See FLUMIST on Page 4A

United Community Bank merges, relocates ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Farragut customers of United Community Bank are finding the Farragut branch closed. The branch at 11134 Kingston Pike closed Aug. 28 and moved to 105514 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, Christie Knapper, United Community Bank marketing consultant, said. “The former United Community Bank branch, located at 11134 is less than five miles from the new branch and former First National Bank location at 10514 Kingston Pike,” Knapper said. “With the merging of [United Community and First National banks], the collective United Community Bank team has

grown and will be best served by utilizing the larger building located at 10514 Kingston Pike.” Knapper said all the employees from the now closed branch have moved over to the branch at 10514 Kingston Pike. “No positions were eliminated as a result of the branch closing,” she said. “The current office now houses a mortgage originator, SBA lender, corporate services manager and a commercial lending team,” she said. “Simply put, we have more employees providing more services that require a larger space,” Knapper said. “The merger of First National Bank and United Community See BANK on Page 4A

Briggs addresses ‘guns at fair’ issue

Anthony Elias

Tennessee State Sen. Dr. Richard Briggs addresses a meeting of Farragut Gun Club held at Gander Mountain off Parkside Drive Monday, Sept. 14.

■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

Tennessee State Sen. Dr. Richard Briggs, R-District 7, had one question for his Farragut Gun Club audience at Gander Mountain’s lodge room, Monday, Sept. 14. “Am I missing something?” Briggs asked. The state senator’s rhetorical question comes after Mayor Madeline Rogero said

professionally placing officers around our property and at our entrances,” Brinson said. Tony Aikens, Knox County Sheriff’s Office chief deputy, attributed the threat as a false report. “There was nothing to it,” Aikens said. Brinson said he asked Knox County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the origin of the “rumor.”

Thursday, Sept. 10, that gun permit holders weren’t allowed to carry firearms at the Tennessee Valley Fair because the state law — which mandates gun carry permit holders be allowed to carry guns at events in public parks — doesn’t apply to the Tennessee Valley Fair. Rogero said Chilhowee Park isn’t a City park. See BRIGGS on Page 4A

“They immediately began an investigation, which is ongoing,” he said. “Lastly, we contacted every person on our Two Rivers Church database through an emergency communication network already established, alerting students and parents of this unsubstantiated rumor, as well as the actions taken to assure our campus was safe,” he said. Brinson said the bottom line is “all is well and safe at Two Rivers Church.”

policereports • On Sept. 14 at around 7:59 a.m., Knox County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Pine Meadows Lane address for a burglary to a vehicle. Complainant and witness reported that an unknown suspect (white female) drove by the residence slowly in suspect vehicle, a black Chevy Equinox or similar. When the victim went inside her residence the suspect pulled into the victim’s driveway. Suspect then opened the driver side door of the victim’s vehicle, a white 2010 Ford Edge. Suspect removed the insert from the center console. Witness yelled at the suspect. Suspect then got back into her vehicle and fled the area. Witness was able to take several photographs of the suspect and suspect vehicle. Value of the loss is about $100. • On Sept. 14 at around 7:54 a.m., a Shady Ridge Lane complainant told KCSO that between 7:30 p.m., Sept. 13, and 7:54 a.m., Sept. 14, an unknown suspect gained entry into her vehicle and took a camera bag with a Canon camera and lenses. Complainant states the vehicle may have been unlocked at time of incident. Value of the loss is about $1,500. • On Sept. 14 at around 8:42 a.m., a Mapletree Drive complainant told KCSO that between 10 p.m., Sept. 13, and 7:30 a.m., Sept. 14, an unknown suspect gained entry into his vehicle, a 2004 Subaru Forrester, through an unlocked door and took a

rope and his wallet containing an unendorsed check for $300, driver license and a credit card. He advised no damage was done to the vehicle. Value of the loss is $410. • On Sept. 14 at around 11:16 a.m., KCSO was advised by a Rockwell Farms Lane victim sometime between 10 p.m. last night and 7:30 a.m. this morning person(s) unknown entered her vehicle, a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, and stole a garage door opener and coins. She said prior to this burglary her lock on the passenger side door had broken. The victim advised there was no damage to the vehicle so she believes this passenger side door is where the suspect(s) gained entry. Value of the loss is about $60. • On Sept. 14 at around 4:21 p.m., a Fox Den Drive complainant advised KCSO that between 12:30 a.m., Sept. 13, and 3 p.m., Sept. 14, an unknown suspect came by her residence and damaged her mailbox. Complainant is unsure who would have done this. Value of the loss is $200. • On Sept. 14 at around 4:52 p.m., a representative of Belk department store off Parkside Drive in Farragut advised KCSO two white males, one identified and the other unknown, took Nike and Under Armour clothing without paying for them from Men’s Belk department store. Complainant advised the suspects are repeat offenders, and

that they put the clothes on and wear them while walking out of the store. Value of the loss is about $200. • On Sept. 16 at around 1:01 p.m., a Bowers Road complainant told KCSO that between 8 and 11 a.m., Sept. 11, an unknown suspect keyed his vehicle, a 2013 Ford Escape, while it was in the parking lot of Knoxville Pediatric Dentistry off Kingston Pike in Farragut. He advised he contacted his insurance company and they instructed him to make a report. Value of the loss is $1,000. • On Sept. 18 at around 8:26 p.m., a representative of Marshalls department store in Farragut advised between 6:43 and 7:08 p.m., Sept. 18, the unknown suspects took multiple items from the store without paying. The complainant stated the two suspects both selected items, took the theft sensors off, and then concealed them in their purse. The complainant stated he approached the suspects but they fled and drove off in the suspect vehicle. The complainant was transferred to Communications to have the surveillance footage picked up as evidence. Value of the loss is about $200. • On Sept. 20 at 8:26 a.m., a Wexgate Road complainant advised her wallet and its contents were taken by an unknown suspect, without permission, See COPS on Page 4A

ty and contracted to operate on behalf the municipality, a fee is charged or a third party is involved, a park’s status doesn’t change and may not prohibit permitted gun holders from carrying a firearm. From there, Briggs went off and said this was another example of government bias. “I’m sick and tired [of] local government or state governments or federal governments enforcing laws they want to enforce and ignoring laws they want to ignore,” Briggs said. “And that’s exactly what we’re seeing in Colorado, in [the state of] Washington where we have federal laws against growing and selling marijuana and the federal government and other people there — it’s just as clear as it can be that’s against the law — they said, ‘We’re just going to ignore that law.’ “And I don’t care, even if it’s a law I don’t like. I just think it’s wrong where people who have taken an oath to uphold the constitution and obey the laws of the

state of Tennessee and the United States government still pick the ones that want to enforce and ignore ones they don’t like.” Briggs said he thinks court might be the answer. I think it’s going to take a court case,” Briggs said. Knox County Commissioner John Schoonmaker, District 5, who also spoke at the Farragut Gun Club meeting, had another solution for hand gun permit holders. “What’d be interesting, though,” Schoonmaker said, “is that there’s all the city councilman — well not all of them, but a lot of them — are up for reelection on Sept. 29. Has anybody bothered to e-mail like Marshall Stair, George Wallace, Finbarr Saunders, Mr. [Daniel T.] Brown. Any of these people to express their opinions because those are the elected officials and the City of Knoxville that control that.”

Value of the loss is $400. • On Sept. 20 at around 2:37 p.m., KCSO responded to 11455 Parkside Drive. Upon arrival, the complainant stated that he was the lost prevention officer for the victim, Marshalls department store. The Complainant stated that the suspect, a 30year-old white male, came into the business with his small child

and began concealing items inside his pants. The Complainant also stated that the suspect attempted to pass the cashier without paying in an attempt to deprive the victim of its property. Complainant further advised that the victim did have video of this incident. I issued the suspect a misdemeanor citation for shoplift citation with a booking date at 7:30 a.m., Oct. 7, at the Knox City and County building. The suspect also was given a verbal criminal trespass warning not to be back on the property per management of the Marshalls department store. This incident did occur in Knox County.

However, research from Briggs’s office tells a different story. According to tax records Briggs’s assistant found, Chilhowee Park is still listed as a park. “I had my assistant in Nashville look up all the tax records and because that park obviously doesn’t pay Property Taxes to the County or City, it’s listed as a park,” Briggs said. Briggs also brought three opinions issued by State Attorney General Herbert Slatery III. “This was one of my democratic colleagues in the senate who did not want guns at any of the events like this in Memphis,” Briggs said. “He asked for the attorney general’s opinion about this ‘guns-in-park’ law and this opinion was issued, I have it right here, on July 29, 2015.

Zachary hosts first responders appreciation event ■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

There was plenty of laughter and applause at the Inaugural First Responders Appreciation Event at Rural Metro Fire Station Friday, Sept. 18. First responders were given items donated from local businesses and thank you notes from students in local schools to show support for police officers, fire fighters and emergency medical technicians in Knox County and City of Knoxville. Firefighters also allowed children the chance to sit in the front seat of a fire engine and gave away firefighter helmets. “This is truly just a time to be able to thank you guys,” Zachary, sponsor of the first responders event, said. “The tone in our nation is negative, but it’s a tone

that’s been set by the vocal minority. Just like most other things in this nation, the vocal minority gets the attention, but you’re talking about truly .01 percent of a population. I mean you’ve got 99.99 percent of our community supporting you guys [and] recognizes your service and your sacrifice for our community.” Jerry Harnish, Rural Metro Fire Department fire chief, said the first responders had all handled their jobs professionally. “Most of them are very professional people and whether they receive the recognition or not that’s not why they do the job,” Harnish said. Lee Tramel said Zachary’s sponsored event helps put the community on display for its relationship with its local first responders.

Davis named new FHS track and field head coach ■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

Kia Davis has a vision of what she’ll be doing during her tenure as Farragut’s new track & field head coach. “Right now, just trying to get it back to where it was,” Davis said. “I think at the end of the day, hopefully everyone can be patient with us and just trying to build the program back.” The former George Mason

University track and field sprinters and hurdlers coach accepted the vacant track and field coaching spot and plans on sticking around. “I plan on being in Davis [Farragut] for a really long time,” Davis said. “My hus-

band [Abigi Id-Deen] is enjoying [The University of Tennessee] right now and I think this was a good move for both of us.” Davis had been at George Mason University for less than a month. She was previously a sprinters coach for the Pittsburgh Panthers, where she coached Pitt’s Jessica Tongue to a time of 11.60 seconds in the 100-meter, a personal best. Davis was also a vital part in former Pitt sprinter Cambrya Jones capturing school

records and Big East titles in the 2011-2012 season while aiding Jones to program-bests in 200m dashes both indoor and out, scoring a 23.47 and 22.72 respectively. Jones was named Big East Most Valuable Athlete. Davis said she is hoping she can use her experience as an athlete and coach to help revamp Farragut’s track and field program, which returns junior Destiny Carey, who won KIL and sectional titles in shot put, but

placed second in the event at the state Class AAA meet behind David Crockett High School. “I think just that expertise is going to be a good thing,” Davis said. “And plus, I mean, being an Olympian and having somewhat of a successful career on a collegiate and national and professional level, I think just that in itself. I don’t know too many high school coaches that were part of track See DAVIS on Page 4B

FBC ministry reaches out to our military ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

First Baptist Church Concord is reaching out to military veterans, service members and their families with its ministry, A Warrior’s Heart. “Approximately a year and a half ago, we had a focus on outreach missions in the community,” FBC member Jenny Testerman, the ministry’s founder, said. “The congregation [members were] asked if there was anything they felt led to do could do. They had little cards to fill out.” The focus led her to her own experiences. “My dad, step-dad and uncle all served in Vietnam, and I had two great uncles who served in World War II and Korea,” she said. “My husband [retired Sgt. 1st Class Michael Testerman] retired after 30 years of service with the Army National Guard. “When the need was presented, I volunteered for the Guard’s Family Programs and have done it for about 17 years on local, state and national levels,” she said. Because of those experiences, Testerman said she was compelled to offer to do something for mili-

tary veterans and their families at First Baptist Church Concord, so A Warrior’s Heart was started. The ministry provides fellowship between the veterans, service members and families, she said. They gather once a month, usually the fourth Sunday of each month, in the Fireside Room of the church at 11704 Kingston Pike, Farragut. “On a monthly basis, we poll our [military] demographic in our group to see if anyone has needs, and we provide support with their spiritual or physical needs,” Testerman said. “We had some successes over the last year and a half.” For example, the ministry helped a veteran get medicines refilled, resolved an issue with the Veterans Administration and helped provide school supplies and Christmas gifts to inner-city children and military families. “We have reached out to multiple veterans in need to provide furniture, and we have started a group study regarding overcoming PTSD,” Testerman said, adding the group study uses scripturally based material. The ministry also provides a social network so members are informed of upcoming events and activities, such as participating in the return of the remains of 1st Lt.

McMillan, The Brilliance to perform Sept. 29 ■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

Singer and songwriter John Mark McMillan and The Brilliance will take the stage Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Concord United Methodist Church. The CUMC concert is part of John Mark McMillan’s Tongues of Fire Tour. “Honestly, it’s just about connecting with the people. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s about playing music for people and having a live connection. There’s something about enjoying it with other people and that’s what we love to do so to me the whole Tongues of Fire Tour is about enjoying the music with people,” McMillan said. It will be about the fourth or fifth time playing in front of a West Knoxville audience, McMillan said, and he loved he area. “I’ve got a booking agency that does that and we love the area there,” McMillan said, “These people are really gracious to want to host the tour so we’re more than happy to come and serve them and do our thing for their people.” The CUMC audience will witness a first-time experience for McMillan. It’s the first tour McMillan will be on performing with the first leg performers of the CUMC concert, The Brilliance, which is made up of David Gungor and John Arndt.

However, McMillan does have connections with The Brilliance. His friendship with Gungor’s brother, Michael, is how McMillan’s heard of the band. “I’ve heard of them for years,” McMillan said. “I’m friends with one of the lead guys’ brother and he’s been telling me about them for years and I’ve been a fan of their music. I’ve definitely never heard them live, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about them and I love their records, so I was excited to bring them out. I think they’re going to be real

‘Pig-Out,’ Holy Cross Church barbecue Sept. 19 ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Holy Cross Anglican Church invites everyone to a Pig-Out barbecue. The church’s Men’s Club is holding its first barbecue 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 19, at the church at 515 Herron Road, Farragut. “We wanted to do something to get the community to share time with us,” Holy Cross Men’s Club member Jerry Aiton said, referring to Sweet Briar residents. However, he added the barbecue is not limited to the neigh-

boring residents. It is open to the public. “We do a fish fry every spring, the last Friday in May,” Aiton said. “We do a pancake dinner before Lent, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, and we The cost for the event is $12 for adults and $6 for children. The proceeds help some of the church’s outreach programs and building and grounds maintenance. The Anglican church has been in the building at 515 Herron Road since 2009, Father Thad Osborne said.

Estimated 400 parents turnout for FHS Open House ■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

Parents of Farragut High School students turned out to meet teachers and get oriented on how the school operates during an open house. Lori Moczadlo, FHS Parent-Teacher-Student Association president, estimated about 400 to 500 parents attended the event, sponsored by the PTSO, Thursday, Sept. 11, in the school. “I think [the open house is] a good thing,” Marc O’Donnell, the parent of a junior, said. O’Donnell said he attended to get informed about what was going on for the school year and meet the teachers. “Usually, teachers talk about our kids,” he said, adding he also wanted to establish a line of communication with the teachers. “We are really blessed to have so many families that attend

open house,” FHS principal Stephanie Thomson said. “It demonstrates their commitment to education. “Open house is an exciting time to share with parents what is going on with their students and the wonderful things happening at the school,” Thomson said. Among those, she said FHS is a reward school for the third year running, it was listed in U.S. News and World Report as the fifth top high school in Tennessee and was named in Newsweek as the 402nd top high school in America. “So, it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase the wonderful things happening and encourage family involvement,” she said. Parents and the community can help teachers through year, Together We Shine, a new fundraising effort this year. “We had teachers give requirements for school supplies,”

Barbara Ruggiero, who coordinates the program with Angela Fisher, said. “They asked for things like copier paper and dry erase markers.” PTSO members priced out those items and assigned a star to them, so someone could sign out a star for that item, buy the item and bring it in with the star, Ruggiero said. She added if a parent or person in the community does not have the time to purchase an item, he or she can donate the money for that item. Another opportunity for parent and community involvement is through FHS Education Foundation, Jerry Martin, the foundation’s president said. The education foundation raises funds for needs in the school. FHS has two open houses a year, one in September and one in January, Moczadlo said, adding the open house was broSee FHS on Page 8B

The Episcopal School of Knoxville has a new headmaster to lead its students and staff. Dr. Jack Talmadge was installed as its headmaster Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the school campus at 950 Episcopal School Way, Knoxville. Talmadge replaces James Jay Secor III, who retired from the headmaster position in June.

“I am thrilled to take on the job and tasks of being ESK’s second head of school,” Ta l m a d g e said. “It is a very exciting time for the school, as we have recently Talmadge entered a new threshold of program growth and cam-

pus development. “Fostering these stages of expansion through enrichment and expansion will present new and exciting challenges,” he said. Talmadge said the canvas and program growth presents a wonderful professional opportunity. It also allows for a more

Are you having fun yet? I received this email from a SHE (Sidetracked Home Executive) and it’s so inspiring I had to share it with you. I think we can take some advice from Heddy and I‘d like to thank her for sharing it with us. We do need to have more fun! Dear Pam, I let my inner child play MOST of the time because "I" never had a childhood. I figure if all the email forwards from friends are "regrets" about not playing more and worrying too much, and not burning the pretty candle and wearing the special underwear, then "I'M not THAT girl!" I'm NOT going to wait until I'm old to wear purple and if you haven't read that poem, Google it! I wear my pearls ALL THE TIME, even when I'm jackhammering, or so I was reminded by a Home D e p o t Pam employee who looked Young at me with Make it awe and Fun! admiration. I hadn't been aware of it, but I DO use the good china and I often eat my dessert first. I mean, it's NOT just a bumper sticker about life being too short...it IS and I dance in the rain (often naked) because I can. Ok...I'll admit it was on 7 fully fenced and VERY private acres, but hey, it was great when I COULD do it because now that we're living in suburbia it's not likely to happen without me being arrested, so...NO REGRETS! I DID IT! And I continue to DO the things that others only wish they could. Here's a crazy example. We almost never eat junk. I cook most of our meals and am very conscious of what goes into our mouths, but when we DO, there are many times my sweetie gets more than the lions share and I feel bitter that he's eaten 80% of the doughnuts and I didn't get a chance to even consider the Boston Cream! So, one day, when on a whim I picked up a dozen, I had a bite out of EVERY SINGLE ONE on the way home. Just a small bite...a taste...and then I put each one back into the box nestled neatly next to its neighbor and they looked perfect. I did NOT, however expect the unexpected company that was already seated in the living room when I arrived home, but

Greg happily took the box from me, offered it to our guests and when someone took out one and realized it had been previously enjoyed, he returned it to the box and tried another. I just stood there, doe eyed and remained expressionless until Greg looked at me incredulously and said, "HEDDY! How COULD YOU??" I just desperately tried to maintain my innocence although anyone and everyone who was there already KNEW ME well enough that my urging that it "Must have happened at Timmie's" (meaning someone at the store sampled them) that NO ONE believed me, EVERYONE laughed and EVERYONE ate their doughnuts with a big smile and a head shake. After all...that's just WHO I AM! LOL And probably the only one who would have gotten away with it. I am a relentless tease, but always kind and never mean spirited...I make people laugh and I light up a room when I walk in. My underwear is on the floor (if indeed I wore some the

“The ESK family is quite large, from students, alumni, parents, faculty and community friends,” he said. “Establishing these relationship connections, as well as a clear understanding of ESK’s history, will be very important. “‘Getting to know us’ is also a goal for the year, as we have the perfect opportunity to do a bit of self-reflection and develop a portrait of the ESK graduate,” Talmadge said. “We have a capital campaign for a new athletic and fine arts complex to finish up, which means construction will soon follow. Both also will keep me busy over the next few months.” Last fall, ESK announced Talmadge was hired.

Admirals at perfect 5-0 ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Farragut High School’s football team made sure that it entered its bye week with a perfect record but the Admirals had some crucial mistakes in a 44-3 Region 3-5A victory over Karns at Tommy Everette Field. “We’re happy to be 5-0, so I don’t want to be too hard [on the team],” Farragut coach Eddie Courtney said. “We Admirals 44 had some Beavers 3 mistakes and we had some undisciplined penalties and that’s on me and I’ll clean those up during the bye week.” The Admirals (5-0 overall, 2-0 in the region) had two touchdowns nullified by penalties. But on this night, it was the Beavers (1-4, 0-2) that couldn’t overcome mistakes. “We made some mistakes and we made some mistakes in the red zone,” Karns wide receiver Jordan Coffin said. “We had three opportunities in the red zone where we couldn’t score. “Our defense stepped up, but offensively, we just couldn’t convert our chances in the red zone and we had some other chances and we turned the ball over on downs.” Farragut, on the other hand, scored on its first possession. After forcing the Beavers to punt on the game’s opening drive, the Ads took the ball at the 21-yard line and drove the length of the field on just two plays. The 18second drive was culminated when senior quarterback Jacob Naumoff threw a 66-yard scoring strike to Michael Travis. Carter Phillipy’s extra point gave FHS a 7-0 lead with 9 minutes, 9 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

“Michael knows that he’s my go-to guy,” Naumoff said. After Karns High’s Sam Frazier kicked a 31-yard field goal, Naumoff found another go-to guy in Tanner Mengel. That duo connected on a 12-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-3 late in the opening stanza and from there, Farragut, despite its miscues, went on to record a dominant victory. Tanner Thomas, who rushed for 188 yards and scored twice times, made it 21-3 with a 7-yard touchdown dash. “What we have to have is a balanced offense and we have to depend on the run game with Tanner to get that done,” Courtney said. Karns has a standout running back of its own. Oklahoma State commitment Devin Harper rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries before leaving the game with an injured foot in the third quarter. Although he didn’t score, Harper provided a challenge for the Ads’ defense. “We didn’t do anything scheme-wise [to stop Harper],” Courtney said. “We just wanted to make sure that everyone played their assignment and just play hard and I think that we did that.” Offensively, Farragut closed out the first-half scoring when Phillipy converted a 28-yard field goal in the waning seconds in the second stanza to give the Admirals a 24-3 lead at the break. In the second half, Farragut got another touchdown pass from Naumoff. His third TD pass was a 35-yarder to Coper Hardin and made the score 31-3 late in the third frame. Farragut used the ground game to score its final two touchSee ADMIRALS Page 13B

Admirals sweep Bulldogs, record 14th straight win ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

Farragut High School libero Mikaela Brock put an exclamation point on the Admirals’ volleyball victory over Bearden on Thursday, Sept. 17. “That Lady Admirals 3 was pretty cool,” Lady Bulldogs 0 Brock said after she served up the final 11 points in Farragut’s 25-22, 2521, 25-8 on the road against rival Bearden. “I think we’ve really improved.” With the victory, FHS improved to 28-4 overall and kept its perfect District 4-AAA record intact (6-0)

and won its 14th consecutive match. Coach Susan Davidson couldn’t have been happier despite watching her team struggle a bit in the first set. “That first game was tough but I’m really proud of this team,” Davidson said. “Bearden is a great team but we came in here and took care of business.” Farragut might’ve nabbed sole possession of first place by evening’s end but the Bulldogs (12-4, 5-1) seemed to be ready early. The first set was a rollercoaster ride with neither team willing to yield. The Bulldogs took a 16-14 lead before Farragut’s Alexis Parker served up an ace to tie the set at

16. Parker’s next point gave the Ads a 17-16. After that, FHS never trailed in the match again. Bearden, which was without injured setter Kristin Dowling, hung tough and knotted the game 20-20 before the Admirals scored five of the next seven points to claim the set and take a 1-0 lead in the match. “We knew coming in that this was going to be a good game,” said Parker, who finished the match with 14 kills and 12 digs. “Bearden is a tough team and we get better by playing them.” While Brock closed the match with her 11-point service run, she See LADY ADMIRALS Page 15B

Bulldogs, Jones break Governors confidence ■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

Bearden quarterback Cameron Jones faked a spike and dove into the end zone with 3 seconds in the first half. That was the kind of control Jones had in Bearden's 44-34 win Friday, Sept. 18, and the momentum he gave the Bulldogs at Bill Young Field. The senior quarterback completed 21-of-30 passes for 279 yards and scored five touchdowns — four in the air and the quarterback keeper at the end of the half of a 48-minute quarterback duel. “We had to make sure we came out and got this one,” Bearden head coach Morgan Shinlever said. “We told them Bulldogs 44 w i t h Governors 34 William Blount, they’re a pretty good little football team. We said we’re going to have to scratch and claw and do everything we can to win the football game.” Jones's most important score came in the second quarter while Bearden [3-2, 1-1 Region 1-6A] trailed the Governors 28-14. He had just thrown a pick and fumbled a snap, which both turned into touchdowns by William Blount’s Austin Myrick. Jones responded with a six-play, 45-yard drive capped with a strike to a cross-slanting Skyler Hammett to cut William Blount's lead to 28-21. “We just lost confidence in ourself,” Governors running back Tyler Key said. “We got up two touchdowns and they came back and we feel like we all just lost

confidence. The turning point was the confidence killer. The Bulldogs went on a 30-6 run from that point on, including a 12-yard pass from Jones to Jaquez Dove, who was running across the middle of the end zone for the score. Jones final touchdown gave the Bulldogs a 34-28 lead. The Bulldogs are 3-0 when scoring more than 13 points in a half. “I couldn’t have done it without my teammates up front,” Jones said. “Nice receivers, we just ran the ball really well and made the seams come open.” The Bearden quarterback was in a Friday night duel with Myrick, who finished with five touchdowns as well — three passing and two running — starting with a 1-yard keeper to put the Govs ahead, 7-0. The junior added another single-yard touchdown and William Blount jumped ahead 14-7. In the end, Myrick’s fivetouchdown performance wasn’t enough. “We didn’t play well enough to win the football game,” William Blount head coach Philip Shadowens said. “Had some momentum in the first half. Football’s a game of momentum. We didn’t do enough to keep momentum. Had too many turnovers throughout the game.” Momentum ran off without the Governors [2-3, 0-2] when, leading 37-34 in the final minutes, senior running back Chase Berry took off down the middle of the field for 62 yards.

Hawks fall short to Dobyns-Bennett by a deuce ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

KINGSPORT — Hardin Valley Academy’s football team let a key Region 1-6A game get away Friday night at Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett and the deciding play was a late safety. The Hawks came up on the losing end of a 24-22 decision to the Indians when Tim Frizzell was tackled in the end zone with less than four minutes remaining in the game. The safety netted Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett a homecoming victory and dashed Hardin Valley’s hopes. The Hawks (2-2 overall, 1-1 in Region 1-6A) have suffered two losses in 2015 by a total of three points. HVA lost its season opener to defending Class 5A State

Champion West High on Aug. 21 before bouncing back to win a shootout against region rival Bearden. HVA notched a 41-0 win at SouthIndians 24 Doyle. Hawks 22 “This was one of those games that you leave the stadium thinking that you should’ve won,” HVA coach Wes Jones said. “It wasn’t so much a bad snap; it was just that we weren’t expecting it. “We checked off at the line of scrimmage and it was loud. Both bands were playing. We didn’t get the check and we snapped the ball when Mihir Barot was checking off.” Despite the loss, the game wasn’t without some high points for Hardin Valley.

Senior running back Issiah Aguero had a hand in all three of the Hawks’ touchdowns. Aguero had a pair of rushing touchdowns and threw a 21-yard scoring strike to Thomas Clay to give HVA a 16-7 halftime lead. Aguero’s rushing touchdowns covered 13 and 12 yards respectively. See HAWKS Page 14B

KEN LAY Correspondent

It was a night of mixed results for the area private high school football teams Friday. Christian Academy of Knoxville and Webb School of Knoxville were both victorious while Knoxville Catholic and Concord Christian both lost regional games last week. CAK was able to keep its perfect record intact with a 35-14 Region 2-3A victory over Kingston in a battle of unbeaten teams in Roane County. The Warriors (5-0 overall, 2-0 in the region) got off to a fast start and featured an extremely potent passing attack. CAK’s running attack was hampered due to

an injury to Michael Thompson. “It was huge for us to come out over there and get off to a good start,” Warriors’ coach Rusty Bradley said. “They were 4-0 coming in Warriors 35 and it was a game Yellow Jackets 14 that they w e r e Spartans 16 excited to Commanders 0 play. “ W e wanted to throw the first punch early and we did that.” That first punch was a 4-yard touchdown pass from Cole Smith to senior wide receiver Baylor Coughorn. CAK got its next touchdown on the ground as running back Cole Welch scored from eight yards

out to help the Warriors open a 14-0 lead by first quarter’s end. CAK added two more touchdowns in the second stanza. The Warriors expanded their advantage to 21-0 when Smith connected with freshman wide receiver Stewart Howell on a 17-yard scoring strike. Smith threw a second 17-yard touchdown pass in the frame. Austin Pope was on the receiving end of that throw, which made the score 28-0. CAK’s final touchdown of the contest came when Smith hit Howell with a 10-yard strike in the third quarter. The Yellow Jackets (4-1, 1-1) got a pair of scores in the fourth quarter after being held in check by CAK’s defense most of the night. The Warriors stifled

Kingston’s running attack. The Yellow Jackets had minus-15 yards on the ground. “Our defense played well,” Bradley said. “I think they had 100 yards of t o t a l Falcons 34 offense Irish 23 and I think 85 of Rangers 54 those on Lions 0 two plays late in the game. I was really pleased with our defensive line. Webb, meanwhile, found its way back into the win column with a 16-0 victory over Friendship Christian in a Division II-A tilt. The Spartans (2-2, 2-0) used a big special teams play to break a 0-

0 tie with the Commanders, who were poised to take the lead before the Spartans blocked a field goal attempt, which was scooped up by Jah-Lil Jefferson and returned 58 yards for a touchdown. “Friendship Christian is a good football team,” Webb coach David Meske said. “They’re very physical and the blocked field goal was a game changer. “I was really proud of our offensive line and I think they’re getting better. I was also pleased with our defense.” The special teams blunder by the Commanders proved to be a dagger. Webb was able to take a 13-0 lead later in the second quarter on a 1-yard touchdown plunge by See PRIVATE on Page 15B

Sommi header wins defensive game ■

ANTHONY ELIAS aelias@farragutpress.com

Farragut defender Grace Sommi’s header was the difference as the Lady Hawks won a standstill over Karns, 1-0, at KHS Soccer Complex Thursday, Sept. 17. Eryn Hill found Sommi, who launched herself above the traffic and put the ball past Lady Beavers goalkeeper Sinclair Davis with about eight minutes left in the half. “I just think they came out hard and we kind of fell under some pressure and we have to rise to the next game,” Sommi said. The Lady Admirals [9-1-1] have outscored the Lady Beavers 36-1 since a 2-2 tie to Karns in 2010 and 32-0 since 2011, but Farragut head coach Dennis Lindsay wasn’t pleased with the Lady Admirals shot choices. “We looked like we weren’t prepared to play a game,” Lindsay said, “but of course Karns, I can’t take nothing away from them. They took it to us. Our passes just weren’t connecting.” The Lady Beavers [1-7-1] shut out the Lady Admirals in the first half and Davis had nine saves in the opening half in a

match the Karns players were dedicating to head coach Brett Ridens. “Well the girls just wanted to do this for Coach [Brent] Ridens because he’s been sick and he wasn’t here tonight and they said, ‘We’re going to get one for him,’” Karns assistant coach Jack Witt said. “Came within a goal of doing it.” Witt came close to pulling Davis a few times as well. One of them came in the second half, with about 11 minutes left, when Hill sprinted past Karns defenders and nudged the ball in front a few inches. Davis dove and snagged the ball, sending Hill over the Lady Beavers goalkeeper. Davis also bumped her head on the right side post trying to keep the ball from getting into the net. “You’re going to have to carry her off the field,” Witt said. “I think she’s one of the toughest keepers I’ve ever seen.” However, Davis remained in the game and finished with 17 saves, including four off of Farragut midfielder Megan MacLean. “We underestimated them and they came out harder than we expected,” MacLean said. “We started giving it back to them, but we just needed to work together as a team a little

better.” In spite of the stingy Lady Beavers defense, Karns forwards couldn’t find hardly any opportunities to get the ball into Farragut’s zone. The Lady Beavers passes either would sail out of bounds or bounce into a Lady Admiral midfielder or defender and play would go the other way and continuing its scoreless drought against Farragut. Still, there weren’t any hung heads on the Karns bench. “We know with our record, it’s been pretty rough,” Davis said, “but we switched the formation where we’re really talking a lot more. It’s better chemistry out on the field. I think it really comes down to the defense and us not being afraid to step to the ball. Offensively, we’re still struggling with a lot of the younger players that we have on the team, but we’re growing them. Fresh season, a lot of freshman on the team.” Farragut faces Bearden Thursday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m. and Lindsay said while the schedule doesn’t get any easier, it doesn’t get any harder either. “We’ve been in Memphis,” Lindsay said. “We’ve been everywhere playing teams. We’re used to hard competition.”

Thomas had a 21-yard scamper midway through the final quarter and backup quarterback Max Travis scored on a 22-yard run on the final play of the game to close the first half of the season on a high note. “We’ve had a great run,” Michael Travis said. “It’s just our time and we really have a great senior class.” Karns coach Tobi Kilgore said he hopes his team will have its time soon. “We moved the football well

against the best front seven that we’ve seen,” Kilgore said. “I know Oak Ridge has a pretty good one and we’ll see them this season but Farragut has a dang great football team. “We made some mistakes and we’re just not good enough to overcome those things right now.” For his part, Mengel is looking forward to the second half of the 2015 campaign which begins with a home game against Campbell County on Oct. 2. “We’re very happy,” he said. “If we keep working hard, we’ll continue to be successful.” Photo submitted

Jones said that he was pleased with his team’s effort and that the Hawks must now move forward. “We’re playing these teams and we’re competing and we’ve only been playing football for eight years,” he said. “A lot of teams would like to be in our shoes. “Our kids are playing their butts off and we’re playing pretty well. “We just have to learn to finish and we have to learn how to win big ballgames.” The Hawks will again hit the road this week. HVA will head to Scarbro Stadium to take on the Powell Panthers. Powell is 0-4 but Jones said that the Hawks will not take the Panthers lightly. “Powell is a good football team and they always play you tough over there,” Jones said. Powell and Hardin Valley were once District 3-AAA rivals and the Panthers had the upper hand in the series during those days. The two teams last played in 2012. “In our history, I don’t think that we’ve ever beaten Powell,” Jones said. “So that makes this a big game for us.”

When we are adequately prepared, we can typically handle situations better than we did the first time. Parents can probably relate to this. I am a father of three children, the youngest of which is a 3-year old girl. When my oldest children came along (twins), and I was new at this parenting thing, I would find myself getting exasperated when they would not do what I asked them. Was there an error on their part, or did I have unrealistic expectations? I came to realize an astonishing truth: toddlers don’t come into this world with an overwhelming desire to obey mommy and daddy! Rather than an error in my children’s make up, I had unknowingly developed false expectations where they were concerned. Experience had shifted my expectations greatly by the time my youngest came along. I wasn’t as surprised when she acted like toddlers normally

act. Adapting my expectations to reality helped me to handle these situations better going forward (not perfect, but better). I could also catch myself quicker when I was reverting back to my old ways. Investors’ expectations work much the same way. When these expectations are misaligned with the reality of how financial markets behave, we may draw the wrong conclusions from events which could cause counterproductive responses. For example, it is common for investors to look at the long term average return from stocks as an appropriate expectation for how stocks should perform all the time. If that fails to occur, it is often viewed as, “What is wrong with the stock market?” That line of thinking is a clue of where investors may have an expectations gap. From 1926-2014, US stocks (S&P 500 Index) have produced a healthy compound annual return of 10.12%. However, this very long-term average consists of erratic

shorter term returns. During this very same period, stocks produced negative returns in one out of every four years, and two out of every five months. There were 25 “bear market declines” with the average return in these periods of -26%. There were wars, crises, disasters, scandals, heists, and all types of obstacles. High stock returns were achieved through this mess, not by avoiding it. A successful investing journey needs to begin with this reality in view. We all need to know ahead of time how we will respond when the peaks and valleys occur, not if they will occur. The most extreme peaks (booms) and valleys (busts) do not require greater skill, but greater discipline to execute the plan – and the patience to see it through. Like my parenting, reviewing past experiences can be beneficial. Chad Starliper, CFP® is a Senior Advisor with Rather & Kittrell. He is available at cstarliper@rkcapital.com

FARRAGUTPRESS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 • 15B

Lady Admirals From page 9B

said that the victory, which snapped Bearden’s six-match winning streak, wouldn’t have been possible without another stellar effort from Parker, the defending District 4-AAA Player of the Year. “She’s such a great player and we really depend on her,” Brock said of Parker. Farragut came out blazing in the second set. The Admirals scored 20 of the set’s first 29 points to open a commanding lead before the Bulldogs awoke from a game-long slumber and pulled to within 23-21 before Farragut finally scored the final two points of the set. Bearden coach Zach Forgani said that the second set proved to be the difference in the match. “We used a lot of energy digging ourselves out of that hole,” Forgani said. “We were without our setter [Dowling] but I’m not making any excuses. Farragut pushed us and we didn’t push back when we needed to. “Farragut is a great team and they have some great servers. They were ready to play. We just weren’t ready to play.” Claire Duncan replaced Dowling at setter and finished with 18 assists and eight service points but she obviously wasn’t happy with the loss to the Admirals. She said that her team should’ve been able to rally back in a rivalry match with the top spot in the district standings hanging in the balance. “I wouldn’t say that we ran out of gas,” Duncan said. “When we got down, we just all fell apart and we’ve just got to step up.” Parker and Brock were the biggest stars for the Admirals but they received plenty of help from their supporting cast.

Tommy Jordan. Andrew Favaro kicked a 33yard field goal to make the score 16-0 in the third quarter. Spartans’ defensive backs Hunter Green each had interceptions in the game and Berube finished the contest with 10 tackles. While the Warriors and Spartans both had big nights, the Irish tangled with old nemesis Fulton and when the dust had settled, it was the Falcons who left Blaine Stadium with a 34-23 Region 2-4A victory. The Irish (2-3 overall, 0-2 in the region) suffered a third consecutive loss to Fulton (4-1, 2-0), which has eliminated Catholic from the Class 4A Playoffs in each of the last two seasons. “It was frustrating game,” Irish coach Steve Matthews said. “But I think that it’s one of those games that our team can learn from. “I would love to see them again.” Irish quarterback Chase Cunningham threw three touchdown passes to Amari Rodgers

and Jake Poczobut kicked a 25yard field goal. Matthews said he was rather pleased with Cunningham, the third quarterback that KCHS has used this season. “Chase did a pretty good job but I think there were a few plays that he would like to have back,” Matthews said. “As players and coaches, I think there were plays that we would all have to have back. “Fulton is such a great team and you can’t make mistakes and expect to beat them.” Concord Christian saw its long season continue with a 54-0 Region 1-1A loss at Unaka. The Lions, coming off a bye, had another long night. Concord Christian dropped to 0-4 overall and 0-1 in the region. “As a team, you’ve just got to keep battling,” Lions’ coach Troy Fleming said. “You’ve just got to keep fighting and you’ve just got to keep getting better. “When you’re building something like this, it’s hard at first. You’ve just got to keep pushing. One day, we’ll look back on this and see that it was hard. But we’ll be proud of how far we’ve come.”

Madi Howell scored 14 points and served up six aces to go along with Brock’s 11-point run that netted Farragut the sweep in short order. Setters Tia Madden and Sydney Cherney were both effective. Madden finished the match 16 assists and Cherney dished out

seven in the big win for the Ads. “Our team just comes out and plays hard in every game,” said Madden, who is normally one of the KIL’s top servers but didn’t enjoy her best night with the ball. “I missed some serves tonight, but it happens to all of us.”

FHS, CAK remain undefeated, race remains tight ■

KEN LAY Correspondent

After five weeks of high school football Farragut and Christian Academy of Knoxville remain undefeated and on top in the quest for the coveted traveling bronze ball that goes to the winner of the farragutpress How the West was Won presented by 3 Minute Magic Carwash. The Admirals and Warriors both improved to 5-0 on the 2015 season with impressive regional wins. Bearden snapped a two-game losing streak when it outlasted William Blount 44-34 in a Region 1-6 shootout at Bill Young Field. Meanwhile, defending How the West was Won champion Knoxville Catholic and Hardin Valley Academy lost last week. The Irish dropped a 34-23 Region 2-4 A contest to Fulton 34-23 at Blaine Stadium The Hawks, meanwhile, came up on the losing end of a 24-22 Region 1-6A thriller against host Dobyns-Bennett in Kingsport. The Admirals will have an open date this week and FHS made sure that it closed out the first half of the season on a winning

note. The Ads routed Karns 44-3 Friday night in a Region 3-5A tilt at Tommy Everette Field. Senior quarterback Jacob Naumoff threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns. Senior running back Tanner Thomas also had another stellar night. He rushed for 188 yards and scored twice. Naumoff’s three scoring strikes went to three different receivers. Michael Travis had a 66-yard touchdown reception on Farragut’s second play from scrimmage. Tanner Mengel had a touchdown catch from 12 yards out. Naumoff’s final touchdown pass to Cooper Hardin covered 35 yards. Thomas had touchdown runs of 7 and 21 yards respectively. Kicker Carter Phillipy had a field goal and was a perfect 5-for-5 on extra points. The Ads also scored on the final play of the game when backup quarterback Max Travis had a 22-yard run as time expired. The Warriors, meanwhile, also improved to 5-0 with a 35-14 Region 2-3A win over previously unbeaten Kingston. CAK junior quarterback Cole Smith tossed four touchdown passes for the Warriors, who dart-

ed out to a 28-0 lead by halftime. Freshman Stewart Howell was on the receiving end of two of Smith’s touchdown strikes. Baylor Coughorn got the warriors on the board with a short 4-yard touchdown reception. Smith connected with senior Austin Pope from 17yards out and Cole Welch had an 8-yard scoring dash. CAK’s offense was potent (as usual) but it was the Warriors defense that made things miserable for the Yellow Jackets (4-1). Kingston had 100 yards of total offense, including an anemic minus-15 yards on the ground. CAK will travel to Donelson Christian Academy Friday. DCA is 4-1 on the season King’s Academy 52-21 Friday night. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, snapped a two-game losing streak with a 44-34 Region 1-6A win over William Blount at Bill Young Field. It was BHS’s ninth straight victory over the Governors. Bulldogs’ quarterback Cam Jones threw for four touchdowns and ran for another to spark Bearden’s come-from-behind win. Running back Chase Berry sealed the victory for BHS when he had a late 62-yard touchdown

scamper. Jordan Ferguson, Ty Chandler, Skyler Hammett and Jaquez Dove had touchdown receptions for Bearden, which hosts two-time defending Class 6A State Champion Maryville this week. The Red Rebels (6-0) thumped Science Hill 52-17 Friday night in Blount County. Catholic had Friday night’s showdown with the Falcons circled on its calendar since the Falcons ended the Irish’s season in 2014. That was Catholic’s second consecutive playoff loss to the Falcons. The two squads knocked heads as Region 2-4A foes last week and, again, it was the Falcons who emerged victorious, leaving Blaine Stadium with a 34-23 win. Catholic scored its three touchdowns in the contest on scoring strikes from Chase Cunningham to Amari Rodgers. The duo connected three times for scores. Jake Poczobut kicked a field goal for Catholic, which travels to Kentucky to play the Belfry Pirates, who have won two consecutive Class 3A Kentucky State Championships. Belfry (4-0) defeated Pikeville in its last game. Pirates’ coach

Charles McNamee is the Bluegrass State’s all-time winningest football coach. Hardin Valley let a Region 1-6A game against Dobyns-Bennett get away in Northeast Tennessee Friday night. The Hawks, who have lost two games by a total of three points, left Kingsport with a 24-22 loss. The contest was decided when the Indians scored a safety with just under four minutes to play. The winning score resulted from an errant snap by the Hawks (2-2). Issiah had a hand all three of HVA’s touchdowns. He scored on the ground from 12 yards out and had another scoring run that covered 13 yards. He also threw a 21-yard scoring strike to Thomas Clay to giver the Hawks a 16-7 halftime lead. Hardin Valley will look to bounce back Friday when it travels to face Powell this week. The Hawks have played the Panthers four times and have yet to beat Powell (0-4). The Panthers lost to defending Class 5A State Champion West High 42-13 at Bill Wilson Field Friday night.
