Two bodies found in Tennessee River

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

SALTILLO – The body of a Bethel Springs man was among two recovered over the weekend from the Tennessee River.

Sixty-three-year-old Ronnie K. Steele was a passenger in a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer found by the Hardin County Spe-

cial Operations Team around 12:30 p.m.

Saturday.

Steele was found still inside the vehicle.

The driver of the SUV – 64-year-old Richie V. Weaver of Milledgeville – was recovered outside of the vehicle, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

The SUV was found east of the boat ramp on Main Street. The street runs

straight into the boat ramp and the river.

A boater discovered the vehicle only a few feet beneath the surface when his boat hit the vehicle.

“The boat snagged the shirt of the initial body,” said Hardin County Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director Melvin Martin. “We then put divers in the water and found the vehicle.”

The crash is still under investigation by the THP. Weaver’s cause of death will be determined by an autopsy.

“Something needs to be done to add more caution,” said Martin of Main Street ending in the river. “It has happened before and unfortunately continues to take place.”

Critical Care Paramedic John Barry said Medical Center EMS got off to a good start its first day as the new ambulance service in McNairy County.

It was business as usual when the clock struck midnight.

Medical Center EMS assumed control of the ambulance service in McNairy County without a hitch.

“Everything has gone well,” said West Tennessee Healthcare Executive Director of Emergency Medical Services Joyce Noles.

“West Tennessee Healthcare outfitted us with some great equipment because they want to make sure McNairy County has what it needs.”

The contract with former ambulance provider, Community Health Systems (CHS), ended Sept. 1.

Noles was in Selmer Friday helping with the orien-

tation of former CHS ambulance employees who elected to come onboard with the new provider.

“They were ready to go on Saturday,” she said.

“The first two weeks they will work 12-hour shifts.”

Medical Center EMS has a temporary home at the old Selmer Fire Department North Station on Peach Street.

Critical Care Paramedic John Barry was part of the West Tennessee Healthcare ambulance staff to begin the local service.

“It was a normal day,” said Barry of the five calls which they responded to before noon on Friday.

Medical Center EMS took its first call at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Bethel Springs couple receives criminal summons

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

BETHEL SPRINGS – The McNairy County Sheriff’s Department has issued a criminal summons for a Bethel Springs couple.

Thirty-year-old Michael Dewayne Main and 28-year-old Amber Rose Main of 4398 Buena

Vista Road were issued a criminal summons for unlawful drug paraphernalia uses and activities.

The couple must report to the McNairy County Jail on Sept. 18 or a warrant will be issued for their arrest. They are set to appear in court on Oct. 5.

The sheriff’s department was assisting the Department of

Children’s Services on a possible child abuse case at the Mains’ home. Both were drug screened

by DCS and tested positive for methamphetamine, ecstasy and marijuana.

The couple told officers they had a few pipes in the bedroom when questioned about possible drugs in the house, according to

the report of deputy Ricky Finley.

Officers found nine pipes and three more broken glass pipes.

DCS removed children from the home.

Michael Main was seen by witnesses earlier in the day intentionally hitting a child’s head on a passenger side mirror at Walmart. Witnesses told the Sel-

mer Police Department Main put the 6-12 month old child in a van with no apparent child seat and began yelling “shut up I am so tired of you today.”

One witness wrote down the license plate number and called 911, according to police.

County receives ThreeStar sign

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

McNairy County kept its perfect streak intact.

The county earned its 37th straight Governor’s ThreeStar award.

Representatives with the Southwest Region of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development presented the county with its ThreeStar sign last week.

“Competing for jobs and attracting industry in today’s economic climate is a challenge,”

said TNECD Southwest Regional Director Tracey Exum. “Successful economic developers know at the heart of a competitive economic development strategy is community development.”

Exum and Southwest Region Business Development Consultant Chelsey Scott presented the sign to McNairy County Economic Development & Chamber of Commerce CEO Eddie Crittendon.

“We are proud partners with TNECD,” said Crittendon. “The award saves tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars through grants.”

Harlem Wizards bringing show to the Roundhouse

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

The Wizardry is coming to the Roundhouse.

The Harlem Wizards will face a team of local basketball players to raise money for the Bethel Springs Booster Club.

“It will be an approximately two-hour show,” said Booster Club President Stacey Moore. “The game will become more competitive at the beginning of the third quarter.”

The game is set for a 7 p.m. tip on Sept.

18 at McNairy Central High School.

“We hope to have at least 20 players so

we can run them in and out,” said Moore.

Advance general admission tickets are $8 for students and $10 for adults. General admission tickets at the door are $10 are $10 for students and $12 for adults.

Reserved seats are $15. Courtside Plus tickets cost $25.

Tickets can be purchased at Bethel Springs Elementary School, Dollar Saver, Clayton Farms and McNairy Central.

Moore said the booster club came up with the idea after neighboring Chester County hosted the Wizards.

“The Wizards do strictly funding raising events,” said Moore. “Our show will be their first school event of the year.”

The Bethel Springs Booster Club hopes to raise $10,000 from the show. Proceeds will be used to fund a sports complex at the school.

“That amount is a good goal for us,” added Moore.

Wizard players such as Lamarvon

“Showtime” Jackson; “King Arthur” Lewis Jr.; Rob “Smooth” Young; T.J. “Tomahawk” Stukes; Jordan “Hang-Time” Hoose; Jimmy “Bog Wonder” Bosquel and emcee “Big Show” Joe Anteri are all expected to take part in the show.

The Harlem Wizards have been working with PTO/PTA, education foundations, booster clubs and non-profit, charitable organizations since 1962.

They claim to be a family business who is passionate about giving the community a world-class, laugh-a-minute, high-flying, interactive show on a basketball court.

Agent warns of internet dangers

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

McNairy Central High School graduate Andy Hendrix spoke to the teachers of the McNairy County School District about the dangers of the internet.

A McNairy Central graduate is on a mission to make the internet a safer place.

U.S Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Andy Hendrix talked with teachers of the McNairy County School District about the importance of safety when using the internet.

“I love talking to educators because most of the time they are our first line of defense,” said Hendrix, a 1995 graduate of McNairy Central High School.

“Educators will likely be the first to know when something is wrong.”

Hendrix has been with Homeland Security for 15 years. The last 10 have been dealing with child exploitation.

He is over 38 counties in Middle Tennessee.

“I see the dark side of mankind,” said Hendrix. “The most important rules are to monitor the devices of

“We can’t take away technology from our children because we are afraid.”

- Andy Hendrix children and to never trust people you meet online.”

Children are able to access the internet through devices such as a smartphone, laptop, computer, cellphone and MP3 player.

“Smartphones are the number one way to access the internet,” said Hendrix. “They are made for adults.”

The internet offers in-depth knowledge from all over the world. Not all of it is good. There are risks such as cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate material, online predators and revealing too much personal information.

“I deal with cyber crime and Homeland Security is good at what it does,” said Hendrix.

The special agent’s message wasn’t to never use the internet.

“We can’t take away technology from our children because we are afraid,” said Hendrix. “They will be left behind.”

The special agent urges parents to continuously monitor the devices of their children.

“Our children are playing with live ammunition,” he said. “We need to set time limits ... they don’t need their devices when they go to bed.”

Once a child has been exploited online it’s too late, according to Hendrix.

“Every time they do one thing it gets a lot easier,” he said.

McNairy County Director of Schools Wayne Henry said it was important to hear about the dangers from

Tourism industry makes huge impact

By Joel Counce Contributor

Tourism expenditures reached an all-time record in the state.

McNairy County had more than $11.68 million, an increase of 1.9 percent, in expenditures for 2016.

“McNairy County tourism is at an all-time high,” said McNairy County Tourism Director Jessica Huff. “I came into the tourism director position and have actively worked with all the communities and their mayors, volunteers and

business owners ... we’re getting the name of McNairy County out.”

Funds totaled $19.3 billion in 2016 – up 4.7 percent over the previous year – as reported by the U.S. Travel Association.

Gov. Bill Haslam and the Department of Tourist Development Commissioner Kevin Triplett made the announcement Aug. 22 at the historic Clayborn Temple in Memphis.

The event was attended by representatives from the Tennessee General Assembly, city and county elected officials, many tourism leaders and stakeholders and representatives of the media.

McNairy County had $1.36 million in state and local tax revenue for 2016.

State tax receipts increased by 3.7 percent and local tax receipts increased by 2.5 percent from 2015.

LONGLEWISCORINTH

Tourism topped $1 billion in state and local sales tax revenue for the 11th consecutive year, reaching about $1.6 billion. This marks a 6.7 percent increase over 2016, higher than the national growth of travel-related state and local tax revenues.

Tourism generated about 60 jobs in McNairy County, a growth of 1.1 percent from 2015.

“With our wealth in county assets and the promotion of the new ones, we will have more visitors to fall in love with our stories and rich history,” said Huff.

Tourism also generated 176,500 jobs for Tennesseans, a 3.3 percent growth year over year.

Five counties exceeded one billion in travel expenditures, including Davidson ($5.996 billion), Shelby ($3.335 billion), Sevier ($2.217 billion), Hamilton ($1.060 billion) and Knox ($1.056 billion).

All 95 counties saw more than $1 million in direct travel expenditures in the economic impact of tourism and 19 counties saw more than $100 million.

Ninety-two counties had an increase in tourism expenditures.

Car show held to help abused kids

By Joel Counce Contributor

The revelation came in the middle of the night for an Adamsville man.

“I was woken by the Lord,” said Rodger Blanton. “At first, I thought it was my wife waking me up.”

Blanton said he was told to start a car show to raise money for the Carl Perkins Center.

The Anchor Holds Car Show recently celebrated its third year.

“I wanted to help abused kids,” said Blanton. “These kids are getting abused and neglected and I just wanted to raise money for this cause to help the children out.”

The Carl Perkins Center, with offices all over West Tennessee, helps

abandoned and abused children. The private organization relies on donations.

“We are grateful they do this,” said McNairy County Carl Perkins Center Director Callie Foreman. “If it weren’t for people like Rodger, we couldn’t keep our doors open.”

B l a n t o n’s wife, Regina, said the car show is a labor of love.

“We’re doing it because we love kids and we want to help those who can’t fend for themselves,” she said This year’s car show had 32 cars, trucks and bikes and raised $1,300 in entry fees and concession.

“The kids are our next generation,” said Rodger Blanton. “We have to take care of them.”

Adamsville denies bid of company

By Joel Counce Contributor

Adamsville Public Works Director P.W. Plunk rejected a bid from Cross Country after the company failed to take any action on a bid from last year.

Another company, Bishop Hydrant, didn’t finish work on a separate project for the city.

“The city has the right to refuse any and all bids,” said Plunk.

The city selected Rogers Hydrant of Lexington for work on the hydrants, at a cost of $46.30 each.

“If there was anything wrong andy parts to repair, the city would have to pay

for the parts but not labor,” said Plunk. “The state requires us to flush the system and we are way past time to flush them.”

Plunk estimated 10 to 12 of the city’s about 450 hydrants are currently inoperable, but work to every hydrant in the city’s system will include flushing, testing and a gps for each.

“It’s very important to get all the hydrants fixed,” said Adamsville Fire Chief Kenny Newell said. “If we can’t use them, we have to go further and that increases your wait time.”

Hydrants can also affect Insurance Safety Office rating, which affects homeowner’s insurance rates.

Firemen battle a fire which destroyed a two-story house in Bethel Springs.

Fire destroys Bethel Springs home

By Joel Counce Contributor

BETHEL SPRINGS – An afternoon fire destroyed two vehicles and two-story house of a Bethel Springs couple.

McNairy County Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum said the call came in at 3:47 p.m. on Aug. 29 about a fire at 36 Jimmie Lane.

The home was owned by James and Cindy Herman.

“A neighbor said he saw the smoke coming from the Ford Expedition,” said Goodrum. “He sent somebody after a fire extinguisher but by the time they got back there, the house was on fire.”

Goodrum estimated the damage to be around $100,000.

“It was a total loss on everything,” he said.

Residents want watch program started

By Joel Counce Contributor

RAMER – Two residents want Ramer to participate in a Neighborhood Watch program.

Sheila Graves told the Ramer City Council guns had been stolen from her home and a lock had been damaged.

“People don’t know their neighbors,” she said. “They don’t communicate anymore and I just don’t want anything to happen to anyone else or

anyone to get hurt.”

Her sister, Nicole Mullins, told the council she had a four wheeler stolen.

“I just want it back,” she said.

Ramer had a Neighborhood Watch program in the past.

“I don’t know that one person was any more in charge than the other, but we met in the civic center and kind of made a schedule,” said Ramer Mayor George Armstrong.

The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) recommends two phases for a Neighborhood Watch

program. Phase one entails forming a committee of neighbors, contacting law enforcement and holding a public meeting.

Phase two includes electing block captains, establishing communication, making neighborhood maps and working with local law enforcement.

The NCPC also recommends holding regular meetings, involving local organizations and as many citizens as possible.

Councilmen offered the use of the Civic Center for the meetings.

Councilmen decide on water connection site

By Joel Counce Contributor

The Ramer City Council voted unanimously to connect water service to the Selmer city water supply at Friendship Road.

The council initially looked into connecting through the water system at Eastview.

Eastview proposed a plan which would charge Ramer residents a 13 percent rate, about $2.43 per 1,000 gallons.

“This is a more direct connection than going through Eastview,” said Ramer Mayor George Armstrong.

The connection will cost the town $189,000. The original grant was $104,650 with a 10 percent match, with the town paying $10,350.

“The other money will come from a loan or existing funds in the budget,” said Armstrong.

The original plan was to replace a water retention tank, place a new filter media and two filters in the system.

The council rejected two bids in May to improve the town’s water system, citing project cost.

Ramer was granted the Community Block Development Grant through Housing and Urban Development on Sept. 26. The town applied for the grant in 2014 and 2015.

GRW Engineers of Nashville estimated the project cost. The town will have to re-bid the project.

“It’s been going on three years,” said Armstrong.

“We’re ready.”

Officer has to restrain subject

By Joel Counce Contributor

A Finger woman was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and theft of property after she allegedly attempted to steal 51 items valued at about $735.

The items included 10 cases of beer and a television.

Fifty-five-year-old Sherry Lanon of Finger was arrested Sunday by the Selmer Police Department.

Officers Nick Inman and Stephanie Maxedon were working a different incident at Walmart when an employee alerted Inman of an attempted theft inside.

“The suspect was seen leaving the store in a very fast manner pushing a shopping cart full of merchandise,” said Inman in the report. “Contact was made with the suspect and I asked her to please stop and the suspect continued to push the cart faster.”

Inman then grabbed the shopping cart and asked Lanon for a receipt.

Lanon said she had given it to the clerk at the front door. Inman asked her to go back inside and speak with the clerk about the items in the shopping cart.

“The suspect then shoved the shopping cart towards me and began to walk away,” said Inman. “I asked the suspect to stop and she refused to stop.”

Inman then approached the sus-

pect and reached for her arm to detain her. Lanon attempted to punch Inman twice before he had to restrain her.

“I gave numerous verbal commands to stop resisting,” said Inman.

“The female suspect then lowered her body to the ground in an attempt to free herself from restraint, and then refused to place her hands behind her back and stop resisting.”

Lanon continued to fight by kicking her legs and swinging her arms, according to the report.

A bystander helped Inman until Lanon stopped fighting.

Inman escorted Lanon back inside the store where she received a permanent ban.

Local radio service helps Mississippi

The local ARES assisted the Alcorn County, Miss.

“It was done all over the state of Mississippi,” said McNairy County ARES Emergency Coordinator Jay Poindexter.

Poindexter said the drill consisted of a Derecho storm.

“It’s basically like a straight line windstorm,” said Poindexter. “The simulated storm knocked out every communications systems – internet, TV, radio ... all modes of communication were down except

amateur radio.”

Every year, the ARESMississippi conducts an annual emergency test simulating a failure of all other services, including TV, internet and phones.

The McNairy County chapter aids the Alcorn County chapter each year.

“We were at Alcorn County to assist,” said Poindexter. “Since the simulated emergency was coming from the north, we went there to help them to set the stage for it, as we would in a real emergency.”

There is no physical central location for ARES. “Amateur radio operators will be operating from home stations, mobile and portable locations,” stated a release from the ARESMississippi. “We’ll deploy to county EOC’s and at

“He was our right hand.”

Alexander was there any time was any kind of lead for the family, according to Browning.

“One night about midnight, he went under a bridge searching and that could have been dangerous,” said Browning.

Browning said she can’t thank Alexander enough.

“I can’t say enough good words about Rickey and his help as far as Josh’s case,” she said. “I’m just thankful I have him on my team.”

“We have to do everything we can to guide our students and make them aware of things which are dangerous,” said Henry. “The reason I wanted Andy is because he has the most up to date information.”

Teachers have a strong part to play when it comes to informing young people of the dangers, according to Henry.

Homeland Security Investigations launched Project iGuardians in its commitment to combating sexual exploitation of children.

The aim of iGuardian is to counter the fact that many online child predators are able to find victims online because the children are not aware of the dangers.

HSI believes providing everyone with information pertaining to online dangers can help prevent the crime of child exploitation.

“Some things about the internet we can’t control,” said Hendrix.

“When it comes to the internet, you have to trust and verify.”

“We know some people are worried about us knowing the county,” said Barry.

“But as soon as dispatch gets a call, it pops right up to us and we are already on our way once it’s determined an ambulance is needed.”

McNAIRY VOICES

Common sense isn’t a buzzword when kowtowing to big business Dear Editor, Common sense has guided Tennessee well.

It also allows us to see elected officials hiding behind “common sense” labels.

It sounds logical to provide cheap hearing devices overthe-counter – the official goal of U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-Tenn.) Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act. It ignores, however, the very real concern that life-threatening medical issues would be overlooked after healthcare providers are eliminated from this important service.

If politicians were honestly concerned about our healthcare crisis, they would find real solutions – not dangerous band-aids with ulterior motives of benefitting big business.

Hiding behind President Trump’s populist regime, Blackburn has supported axing the Affordable Care Act, but Tennesseans suffer without a clear replacement plan.

Our elected officials are completely responsible for these looming disasters. They’ve shamefully allowed Tennessee to lead the country with our number of shuttered rural hospitals.

McNairy General Hospital’s for-profit ownership recently locked the doors, blaming fewer patients and federal funding cuts.

Rural hospitals weren’t always forced through corporate America’s stamping machine into revenue-generating engines. They simply saved people’s lives and guarded their health.

Calling corporately-driven decisions “common sense” hasn’t worked for Trump. It won’t work for Congressman Blackburn.

The residents of Tennessee’s 7th District are too smart for that.

A dog put together by a committee with a sense of humor

By Slim Randles Home Country

“I took Duckworth to the dog show up in the city last weekend,” Dud said.

The Mule Barn truck stop’s counter just looked at him.

“Dud, was this so he could get some inspiration on looking good?” Doc asked gently.

Duckworth was a medium-sized dog who found Dud while Dud was walking.

RANDLES To be honest, Duckworth looked like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

“No, I was going to enter him in the dog show,” Dud said.

“The lady there looked at ol’ Duck and asked to see his papers.”

Dud grinned. “I told her they were back home on the floor of the laundry room. She didn’t think it was funny.”

Dud’s pals had been hesitant to ask much about his dog.

Duckworth looked like something put together by a committee with a sense of humor. But what kind of dog was he? It made for interesting coffee speculation, that’s for sure.

(Slim Randles is a nationally syndicated columnist. His Home Country appears weekly in more than 80 newspapers.)

Tennessee is the best place in world to live

By Bill Haslam

Tennessee Governor

More people from around the world continue to visit Tennessee each year from the music scene to the mountains.

We have record numbers to show for it.

The direct domestic and international travel GOV. HASLAM expenditures for Tennessee in the last year reached an all-time high of $19.3 billion, which was up 4.7 percent from the previous year, according to the U.S. Travel Association.

That spending translated to $1.7 billion in state and local sales tax, which is a major source of revenue in our state. This was the 11th consecutive year tourism topped $1 billion in revenue.

While we have strong performance in our major cities, we have seen remarkable success in tourism throughout our state. All 95 counties saw more than $1 million each in direct travel expenditures in the last year, including 19 that saw more than $100 million each.

Five counties – Davidson, Shelby, Sevier, Hamilton and Knox – each exceeded $1 billion in travel expenditures. Tennessee is doing well across the board and it follows a pattern we have seen in recent years.

Such impressive numbers come from a lot of hard work. Department of Tourist Development Commissioner Kevin Triplett and his team do a great job of promoting our state and making sure visits are enjoyable for those who come here.

Many of those visitors make repeat trips to our state.

Meanwhile, our Tennessee Tourism Committee, comprised of tourism leaders in both the public and private sectors, and chaired by Colin Reed, chairman and CEO of Ryman Hospitality, has been a big asset.

Tennessee’s strong tourism industry also means jobs. Tourism has generated 176,500 jobs for Tennesseans, and that total is a 3.3 percent increase over the last year.

In 2016, 110 million people visited Tennessee, another figure that exceeds the previous year, by 4.4 percent. Our state is in the top 10 U.S. travel destinations for the third straight year. We are also considered a top retirement destination.

We already anticipate a lot of visitors next year from the centennial celebration of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage to the 30th annual Sheriff Buford Pusser Festival in Adamsville.

The opening of the new Tennessee State Museum in Nashville will also play a role.

We believe Tennessee is the best place in the world to live and travelers agree it’s a great place to experience, as we like to call it, “The Soundtrack of America: Made in Tennessee.”

FCE Summer Picnic

By Schancey Chapman

Family & Consumer Science Agent

Genell Freeman

Happy 88th Birthday Please come and celebrate Genell Freeman’s 88th Birthday on Sunday, September 10. The celebration will be at Court Avenue Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Selmer. Drop in any time between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to have cake and wish her a Happy Birthday.

Genell has one daughter, Pat Presley, and son-inlaw Joe. Please, no gifts.

On August 19, the Stantonville Family and Community Education (FCE) Club hosted the annual McNairy County FCE Summer Picnic with a Backyard BBQ theme.

This event is held every year for the three McNairy County FCE clubs to gather for food, fun, and fellowship. Along with the Stantonville club, the other local FCE clubs are Selmer Club and Sharing Hearts Club, which meets in Enville. Even though this is a fun day, the clubs always want to help others. This year, club members brought nonperishable items to be donated to Loaves and Fishes.

Approximately $200 worth of items was donated. Loaves and Fishes are always very appreciative of this donation.

The day started with Pam Carroll, Stantonville FCE President, welcoming everyone. Following the prayer and the delicious potluck lunch, Lee Sammons, Hardeman County Agriculture Extension Agent, spoke on beauties and beasts in the flower bed. Mr. Sammons was very educational and taught everyone a lot about which flowers are good for shade and sun and which are easier or harder to grow. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his program.

After a great celebration, the 2017 McNairy County Cultural Arts winners were announced. A brief County Council meeting was held to make a few announcements.

The event concluded with some wonderful door prizes.

Adamsville falls at TCA

By Ethan Huggins Contributor

JACKSON – Adamsville ran out of time.

The Cardinals (1-2, 0-1) could not capitalize on a last-second drive and lost 21-18 to Trinity Christian Academy.

Adamsville got the final possession of the night with a minute left to play and marched

down the muddy field, trying to set up a field goal. Collin Misenhimer fired a deep pass which fell incomplete as time expired, giving TCA the region win.

Adamsville Head Coach Brandon Gray said the Cardinals are “good, but good is the enemy of great.”

“Until we can fix ourselves, there is no need to worry about anything else.” said Gray. “We

needed to play better.”

Adamsville’s first region game had a playoff feel even for the first day of September. Unbeaten TCA featured running back Victor Horton, one of the top running backs in West Tennessee.

After TCA’s prized back rushed for 393 yards and seven touchdowns in the first two games of the season, the Cardinals did a fine job containing Horton, lim-

iting him to 187 yards on the ground and a pair of touchdowns.

Hurricane Harvey’s presence was still felt through West Tennessee when game time rolled around as the field was still soaked. Both offenses struggled in the wet conditions, keeping the ball on the ground and more often than not, fumbling the

10 Years Ago: A decade ago, McNairy made it 20 straight.

The Bobcats cruised to a 41-7 victory over Adamsville to win their 20th victory over the Cardinals in as many years.

MCHS senior running back Justin Mood (in his first varsity start) rushed for 249 yards and a staggering four touchdowns.

20 Years Ago: Adamsville High School’s girls’ soccer team were ranked sixth on the TN 11 Pre-Season Poll.

Coach Pam Simon was “pleased for the team,” but emphasized what mattered was “what happens on the pitch.”

30 Years Ago: Thirty years ago, Adamsville High School were dedicating their new fieldhouse.

Coach Joe Bridges, Principal Mark Massey and senior players cut the ribbon to celebrate the school’s accomplishment.

Covington outruns Bobcats

By Drew Wheeler Sports Editor

COVINGTON – McNairy could not keep up with Covington’s rhythmic running.

The Bobcats (2-1, 0-1) fell 4810 to the Chargers in a region contest Friday.

Trevon Campbell weaved across the field for an 80-yard kick-return touchdown in the first quarter to electrify the Bobcat sideline and give McNairy a 10-7 lead.

Covington would effectively take the weapon from the Bobcats’ arsenal and nullify the return game with a series of squib kickoffs.

The Chargers’ offense feasted

on misdirection, utilizing the Wing-T offense to compliment the three-headed dragon in the backfield.

Running backs Codarries Page, Quentin Booker and Keshun Gant split the carries almost evenly for Covington.

The Chargers were relentless with their ball control tactics, orchestrating six-to-10 play drives to keep the clock in their pocket.

Time of possession indicates the Chargers were in control of the ball for 14 percent more of the game.

McNairy’s game-opening drive spanned the length of the field with a dominant running game spearheaded by Kylin Wynn. The Chargers’ defense rose up to force

a 26-yard field goal attempt on fourth down, which kicker Cole Miller chipped in with ease.

Covington replied with a touchdown drive to set up Campbell’s kickoff return touchdown.

McNairy made a few unsuccessful pushes for the end zone through the final three quarters.

Two untimely red zone fumbles cost McNairy. McNairy also had a touchdown called back in the final quarter: Cole Kirk connected with Vennie White on a touchdown pass, but the score was overturned.

Ronnie Kinkennon threatened to score in the Bobcats’ final play, but was called out of bounds just

McNairy could not pull off the upset.

Lexington held off the MCHS Volleycats in a pair of volleyball matches.

The Volleycats lost game one by scores of 14-25, 25-11, 25-16, 16-25, and 18-16. Lexington won game two in much easier fashion by scores of 25-22, 25-21 and 2518.

In game one, the Volleycats jumped on Lexington to win the first set 25-14. Lexington rallied to win game 25-11 and game three 25-16. MCHS came back to win game four 25-16, and Lexington won the tie-breaker 1816.

The Volleycats had their chances in the tie-breaker to win the match, but failed to convert on their chances.

Mallory Rodgers had six hits and was four-for-four on serves.

Sophie Whitaker posted six kills and 13 hits. Alyssa Nash chipped in three kills, eight hits, four ace serves, and was 10-of-12 serves.

Tori York posted six kills, seven hits, three blocks, and was 10-of-12 serves. Daisy Murry was perfect on nine-for-nine serves.

Caitlyn Bodiford had a teamhigh 19 hits, had five kills, five blocks, and was eight-of-nine serves.

Lady Bobcats stop Sacred Heart

Emma Gray led the way for McNairy.

The Lady Bobcats took a 4-2 victory over Sacred Heart.

Gray managed to get a hat trick with three goals to lead the Lady Bobcats to the win.

The victory enabled the Lady ‘Cats to improve their record to 3-0 with an early season show-

down with Lexington looming.

Gray scored her first goal six minutes into the contest followed by a goal from Gabby Forsythe to open a 2-0 lead 13 minutes into the first half.

Gray drilled a shot into the net two minutes later to widen McNairy’s halftime advantage to 3-0.

When Gray scored to achieve her hat trick early in the second half, coach Jerry Lott took advantage of the four-goal lead to clear the bench.

prior to hitting the pylon for another touchdown.

McNairy Central Offensive Coordinator Lee Hooper said the Bobcats moved the ball “well in the first half, but were not able to capitalize.”

“Two fumbles really hurt our momentum,” said Hooper. “and we had some bad breaks with dropped balls or incomplete passes, then a few holding calls on big plays backed us up, as well.”

“Those can be real drive-killers,” said Hooper.

Defensively, Dru Yopp led the way for the Bobcats with several tackles including a big tackle for loss to pump up the McNairy sideline.

However, standout defensive lineman Jaydn Dean appeared to injure his right leg shortly before halftime and would not play for the remainder of the game. More on his status will be posted to Facebook when it is made available.

Wide reciever Will Jones remains on the inactive list due to his leg injury sustained against Tishomingo County in week two.

Next on the docket for McNairy Central is Chester County, who will visit Don Whitaker Memorial Stadium for Homecoming.

The Eagles narrowly defeated USJ in the first week of the season, then lost to Adamsville in week two and Jackson South Side last week by a score of 35-3.

Rodgers had seven hits, had one block, and was 10-of-10 on serves. Whitaker registered seven

In preperation for the visiting Eagles, Hooper said the Bobcats offense are working on the fundamentals.

“Quarterbacks working on timing and getting the ball out quicker, running backs on ball security,” said Hooper, “wide receivers on seeing the ball and making the catch before running, and linemen on keeping their feet moving and hands active to stay on blocks.”

The most important thing, according to the OC, is understanding “bad things happen during any game.”

“We want to know how to overcome them,” said Hooper.

Adamsville’s defense jumped on TCA early, deflecting a punt and downing it on the TCA eight for a red zone opportunity.

Misenhimer called his own number and punched it in from two yards out to give the Cardinals a 6-0 lead.

TCA linebacker Addison Coleman stripped away a fumble and took it back for a 70-yard touchdown to give the Lions the 7-6 edge.

With less than a minute remaining until halftime, Horton cruised in from two yards out to boost the TCA lead to 14-6.

On the very next Adamsville play, senior tailback Tylon Walker would not lie down for the rival Lions and hit paydirt on an 80yard run to cut the TCA lead to two and send the game to halftime.

In three carries, Walker totalled 129 yards and a touchdown for Adamsville.

The third quarter was a shutout between both teams, but Horton kicked off the final period with another two-yard touchdown dash to give TCA a 21-12 lead with nine minutes left.

Misenhimer connected to five different receivers in the fourth quarter including senior captain Woody Hancock, who finished the game with 119 yards on six catches. Hancock’s biggest grab came with 5:50 left in the fourth, when the senior caught a touchdown pass to cut the TCA lead to three.

Gray acknowledged the importance of the TCA game.

“It has turned into a rivalry,” said Gray. “Our kids are used

to playing in big games for big crowds, so I think they appreciate this type of atmosphere.”

The Cardinals will move from one rivalry to another as they travel to Savannah for the Tennessee River Rivalry contest with Hardin County.

The Tigers sit at 2-1 in the young season with victories over Craigmont and Jackson North Side.

Kickoff in Savannah is 7 p.m.
