2025-26 Cocke County Lady Red
Lady Red ready to make another run in 2025 season
BY JAKE NICHOLS | NPT SPORTS EDITOR
NEWPORT — In March, Boddie Bible issued a declaration inside the Murphy Center: “If I’m any coach at all, I can get them back down here again.”
This year, Bible’s statement will be put to the test.
After making two straight trips to the Class AAA state tournament, the Cocke County Lady Red appear poised for a third straight trip to Murfreesboro this season.
It would be their fourth overall, as the program’s first state tournament berth came in 1988.
CCHS has since built on that tradition, as Bible brings a 58-17 record with a 15-1 clip in district play into this year.
The Lady Red return nine starters from last year’s district championship team — seven of whom have significant varsity experience — after tying the program record for wins at 29 in each of the last two seasons.
But with another tough schedule ahead, Bible’s players also know that nothing is guaranteed.
“If we work as hard as we can, the results will speak for themselves,” he said. “Our girls have gotten a taste of what it’s like to get down there, and they want more and believe they’ll win anytime they step on the floor.
“But they also know it’s not a given, because what we’ve done the last two years doesn’t matter for this season.”
Cocke County will take part in a stacked Ladies’ Classic tournament in Greeneville again this year, and it will also face a tough Daniel Boone team that dropped down to 3A.
Along with that, CCHS will be pitted against a Northview Academy team with which it has become quite familiar, as the Lady Cougars finished as the state runner-up last season.
But even with an arduous slate, Bible knows his team has a target on its back — and he’s just fine with that.
“Nothing will be easy,” he said. “If anything, it will be harder than the last two years. But we welcome those challenges because our girls rise to the occasion, and I fully expect them to do that again.”
To reach those same heights and perhaps go even further, CCHS will need plenty of contributions across the board.
The senior class features three experienced veterans in Brookelyn and Blakelyn Clevenger and Javin Campbell.
The Clevenger twins will split time at
point guard, though Brookelyn can also play the 2 spot and Blakelyn is not afraid to let it fly either.
Meanwhile, Campbell will rotate between point guard and shooting guard as well.
“They are a special group,” Bible said. “I have essentially coached them since they have been in 3rd grade, minus a year, and they are winners. When you have three leaders like that, it makes the rest of our team better.”
He could say the same about his junior class, which starts with two-time All-State selection and reigning District Player of the Year Karmine Carmichael.
After putting East Tennessee on notice her first two years of high school hoops, Carmichael could very well be in for an even bigger season as a junior.
“She has a chance to be one of the best players in the state this year,” Bible said.
“We expect big things out of her on both ends. She’s a tenacious defender and can score at all three levels, and she has grown at least two inches and has gotten stronger.
“There is a really good chance we could use her at all five spots this year. Our goal is to get her face-up to the basket because she’s so hard to defend.”
When Carmichael is in the post, her counterpart will be longtime friend Ellie Proffitt, who stepped up in a big way last year following the injury of senior Shakyra Reed.
“Ellie has improved so much, and we have those same expectations for her this season,” Bible said. “She’s a great rebounder and can score inside and from 3, so she has elevated her game.”
At the sophomore level, Ava Wheeler leads the unit after getting significant minutes as a freshman last year.
She established herself as a viable threat from 3-point range, but she also delivered on the defensive end and could see an increased role after a good offseason in the weight room.
Bible offered similar thoughts on Chloe Niethammer and Georgia Knight, as Niethammer can be a valuable presence in the post after growing a couple inches this offseason.
Then Knight has improved in strength
and speed, while Bible noted that fellow sophomore Loretta Kickliter “can fly” and will work her way into the varsity lineup too.
He has also moved Jaylee Lane and Kailixx Stewart onto the varsity level as freshmen, as Lane has gotten work at the 1-3 spots with Stewart showing the ability to attack the basket.
With plenty of veterans and confidence brimming, the Lady Red certainly look ready for another impressive slate.
So no matter how this season ends, one
thing is for certain: it will be another year to remember for a program that has already seen tremendous growth in the past three years.
“When I was hired here, one of my goals was for little girls to grow up dreaming of playing for the Lady Red,” Bible said. “I see that in the kids at
and
dad even told me that they think our girls are the Lady Vols. To me, that’s the ultimate compliment.”

2025-26 Cocke County Fighting Cocks
CCHS looking to get over the hump in 2025
BY JAKE NICHOLS | NPT SPORTS EDITOR
NEWPORT — When he realized this will be his sixth year leading the Cocke County boys basketball program, Casey Ragan had to take a moment and reflect.
“It’s pretty wild, actually,” he said. “It seems like just yesterday we were starting this thing, but I’m excited for another group.”
In that span, Ragan has gone 63-88 as head coach with each season ending in the district semifinals, a district play-in game or the region quarterfinals.
Granted, those results are no different than the previous 12 seasons, as Cocke County’s last region tournament win was in 2008 when the Big Red beat the nowclosed Sullivan East 67-62.
At the time, Ragan was actually a sophomore on the team. And he has been quite familiar with the program ever since, learning under his own former coach, Ray Evans, as an assistant before being named the head man in June of 2020.
Now, as a sixth-year head coach, he is the one tasked with getting CCHS over that hump.
“We talked about it last year before the quarterfinal game but have discussed it this summer too,” he said. “It is definitely a goal of ours, and we want to get past that first one and see what we can do.”
They will face the likes of Carter, Seymour, Northview and Fulton during district play, but they will also have a new opponent in Austin-East. That matchup will pit the Fighting Cocks against former shooting guard Spencer Moore Jr., who transferred to A-E over the summer.
as a 3-point shooter and staunch defender.
After coming off the bench last year, Devin Caldwell is also expected to contribute with a long, athletic frame that allows him to help pace Cocke County’s transition play.
And Maddox Holt may be 6-foot-4, but he will once again lend a speed and shooting ability that are typically reserved for someone shorter than he is.
CCHS will also have rivalry matchups with Cosby, as the teams will play annually starting this year.
To win those games and advance further in the postseason, Cocke County will have to rely on seven seniors who bring a similar level of experience as last season’s senior class.
That group was filled with experience, as guys such as Kyler Hayes, Ethan Fine and Oren Hazelwood paced the Roosters in a 12-21 record with a season-ending loss to Clinton in the region quarterfinals.
This year, the Fighting Cocks’ lone returning All-District selection is senior guard Will Sutton, who has been a versatile piece for CCHS.
“We will lean on him a lot,” said Ragan. “He’s played a lot at shooting guard, but we will use him all over, including point guard. He will be an integral part of what we do. He’s a guy that is willing to run through a wall for you night in and night out.”
Maddux Carter will also get time at point guard, while Eli Roberts will play a key role
“We are excited for what he brings to the table,” Ragan said. “He shoots the 3 probably as well as anyone on the team, but we can post him up if we need to as well. Him playing above the rim gives us a different element, so I am excited to see what he can do with that size and athleticism.”
Ragan also noted that Jackson Williams has made “huge strides” this summer and will be strong in the post and on defense.
“I am really excited for Jackson,” he said. “He is going to have a big year for us.”
Meanwhile, Waylon Fox is a versatile presence since he can post up or drift out and shoot as well.
“We’ve got a lot of pieces in this senior class that we can plug and play in different spots,” Ragan summarized. “And overall, I’m excited that they all know each position to put them wherever we need to.”
That may make things tough on Ragan in terms of figuring out starting lineups and depth charts, but he has noted before that that is a “good problem to have.”
In the junior class, Parker Ford returns to the team this season as a big man in the middle. He and Williams have been battling for the 5 spot as the season nears.
Donovan Campos has developed solid shooting and handles, while Maurice Timmons is long and quick and could provide a boost on defense and in ball-handling.
Finally, the sophomore class also includes multiple varsity players, including
Zach Williams, Kason Stewart and Logan Bowlin.
“Zach has good size and possesses every offensive tool, though he can still grow defensively,” said Ragan. “And Kason is similar to Maddux in the way he handles the ball, so he could do that some for us. And Logan is just a pure shooter. Really strong for his size with a strong motor on defense too.”
That last aspect will be an important part for CCHS, which will be seeking more consistency on both ends of the floor.
“We want to be more aggressive defensively,” said Ragan. “Hopefully we’re up and pressing, but we’ll adjust game by game. Our plan is to be aggressive and I think we have guys to get that done.

Cocke County coach Casey Ragan talks to his team during a timeout in the region quarterfinals against Clinton in the final game of the 2025 season.
“Then offensively, this team understands what we’re looking for and will allow us to progress a bit beyond what we’ve done before because of their high basketball IQ.” Overall, Ragan has been pleased with the chemistry and unselfishness that he has seen so far — both attributes that can help CCHS advance further than it has in some time.
“They really don’t care who’s on the floor or who’s scoring, man,” he said. “They just want to win. And I’m excited to see that.”
Cocke County will rely on Maddux Carter this year, as he saw more minutes last season as a junior.
Cocke County’s Eli Roberts goes up for a shot during summer basketball. He saw plenty of growth over those months and will be another pivotal piece in the Roosters’ senior class.
playing big minutes as freshmen.
“That was huge,” Lowe said. “It feels like a lot of them aren’t even sophomores because they were so important. They’ve had so many in-game experiences, so even though we’re young, we have a lot of players with veteran minutes in certain spots.”
Still, whether the limited roster affects players’ stamina during games remains to be seen.
They will certainly miss the contributions of five departed seniors from last year’s team, including the program’s modern-era leading scorer, Shylee Shelton.
“You don’t see scorers like Shylee come through very often,” Lowe said. “We will be a different team this year, relying on slashing and getting to the basket and getting out in transition as opposed to shooting a lot of 3s like we did last year.“
As far as the roster is concerned, Allie Ottinger heads the group as the lone senior.
She has played all four years in the program, having combined her skills from soccer and basketball that aid her in footwork and hand-eye coordination.
“She’s been in this system for years, and she knows what I expect and demand,” said Lowe. “She understands our principles and philosophies. She does a good job helping me by being a leader on the floor for these younger girls.
“On top of that, she is probably our best rebounder and does the little things. Sneaky long, athletic, terrific with blocking shots. She’s a force inside and does a lot of the intangibles like diving on the floor for loose balls.”
With no juniors, the Lady Eagles’ next class of players is in the sophomore class.
Azariah Spurgeon will be leading the way there, coming off a standout season as a freshman. She shared the award with Shelton last year and seems poised to have another breakout year as a sophomore.
“As good as she was last year, I expect her to have a bigger season this year,” said Lowe. “She’s an unbelievable defender and a great point guard who sees the floor well. She can score at all three levels and can play 1 through 3. A very important piece of the puzzle for us.
“And she’s put on 15 pounds from staying in the weight room, so that really helps on the defensive end. Then she’s improved her footwork on offense and can get to the basket anytime she wants.”
Spurgeon will certainly be carrying an extra weight on her shoulder this season, as her dad, the late Josh Spurgeon, died in October.
“We haven’t sat down and talked it out, but she did mention wanting to play this year for him,” Lowe said. “He always kept her in the gym, so she will play with an extra chip on her shoulder. She is such a competitor anyway, but she’s got even more to play for now. I look for her to have an All-State caliber year.”
He offered similar praise for Matisse Bible, who offers another option at point guard.
“She has really improved as well,” said Lowe. “Bigger, stronger, has worked on her shot, and you can tell the game is slowing down for her. She’s making better decisions, and she gives us two true point guards in the lineup. She gets the job down the floor well and is really quick and athletic. She helps us play the style we want to play, getting up and down the floor.”
Zayli Spencer, meanwhile, will be in the post for the Lady Eagles after seeing significant minutes as a freshman.
“She runs the floor well and is a good rebounder and a good post defender,” said Lowe “I look for her to give us some big minutes this year.”
Cosby sophomore Ava Woods came out for the team this year too, trying out now that soccer season is over to follow in the footsteps of her sister, 2025 Cosby graduate Addy Woods.
“She played in 8th grade and comes from a basketball family with her dad and older sister, and she’s improving every day,” Lowe
said. “She’s a listener and a competitor, and she’s been a good defender and rebounder.”
Cosby also has another legacy this year in freshman Stella Raines, who is coming off a District Offensive Player of the Year season in soccer as a freshman.
“She also comes from a basketball family with her dad and older brother, and she’s got all the potential in the world,” Lowe said. “She’s long as a stretch 3, and she can play guard, forward and can shoot from the perimeter.
“She’s also a really good defender and will help in the press, so I could see her
being in the starting lineup. I could see her giving us some big minutes.”
Like the other freshmen listed, Piper Whaley has played soccer as well. But she also has a little in-house help in basketball since her father Matt has coached elementary basketball for several years.
“She has improved tremendously and is as good as any post we’ve got,” Lowe said. “Probably our best finisher around the basket. She runs the floor well and is an excellent rebounder and very coachable. I look for her to really help us as well.”
Then there is Zoey Grooms, who has been a pleasant surprise for Lowe so far.
“I knew she would be a good player, but she had a really good summer,” he said.
“She shoots really well so she could get some good minutes there. She can play in the post too and is as strong as anyone we have.”
And finally, Bella Stanton contributed right along with Raines last year for Grassy Fork Elementary.
Now, she brings more athleticism to the Lady Eagles’ lineup.
“Just a tremendous athlete, a true point guard,” Lowe said. “The way we will play, she can get it and push in transition. She’s been shooting well too in practice and is an excellent defender.”
Overall, Lowe is very aware that his team is young.
But he has also noticed that they are learning fast — and they aren’t intimidated, either.
“There’s a lot they’re having to pick up, but they’re learning quickly,” he said. “It will be different, but these girls are anxious and hungry and competitive. I look for us to have a big year.”

Eagles pairing classic with modern in push for Murfreesboro
BY JAKE NICHOLS | NPT SPORTS EDITOR
COSBY — If you compare photos of the 1987 Cosby boys basketball team and the 2025 version, there won’t be many similarities.
Different hairstyles. Flashier shoes. Longer shorts (depending on the player).
There will, however, be a noticeable link among the white home uniforms — especially the squared font — and that’s by design.
“We needed new white uniforms anyway, so these kind of resemble the ones the 1987 state tournament team wore,” explained second-year coach Kurry Cody. “My dad was on that team, and a lot of people I look up to were a part of that group as well. I definitely wanted to honor them.”
The Eagles could honor that team by adding another link, as they enter this season seeking their first state tournament berth since 2021.
After winning their second straight district title last year, the team came achingly close in a season-ending sectional loss to Harriman.
But a loss that night left the Cosby looking toward this season with plenty of returners and a different outcome on their minds.
Throw that in with the old-school vibes on the home uniforms and the modern spin on their first-ever black away jerseys, and the destination is as clear as the stenciling on the Eagles’ crisp new look: Murfreesboro.
“We’ve got a lot of returners back, so the expectation is to go to the state tournament,” Cody said. “That’s what this program has always been about. But we want to take it one game at a time, improve and get better every day, and we’ll see where it takes us.”
To reach that goal, the Eagles will rely on seniors Cruz Coggins, Cooper Davis, Darren Chappell, Cody Strange and Payton Young.
Coggins and Davis have formed an impressive duo in their time at Cosby, while Chappell will be a unique addition
this season.
Coggins is a two-time District Player of the Year who was an All-State selection last year. He patrols the floor at point guard, but he can also drain plenty of shots when the Eagles need a boost.
Meanwhile, Davis can pop one from outside, but as a bigger presence, he can drive downhill and convert in the lane too.
“Having those two around, it’s been nothing short of exceptional,” Cody said.
“They are really good kids and are best friends, and they’ve grown up together since they were little. They’re almost like having coaches on the court.
“Cruz has put on 5 or 10 pounds of muscle, staying in the weight room, and Cooper was right there with him shedding 10 to 15 pounds. He is a totally different player and will surprise some people. We’ve formed a really good relationship among us three, and they fully believe they can get us where we need to be.”
Then there is Chappell, a Johnson County transfer who racked up more than 1,000 points in three years for the Longhorns.
“When Darren first came here, the guys really took him in,” Cody said. “He can shoot, get downhill and draw fouls, but he has the potential to be one of our best on-ball defenders too. He can jump, and he’s long.”
So is the Eagles’ junior class, which features two core pieces in Cornelius Carr and Haiden McMahan.
Carr has shown the ability to snag rebounds and provide size and athleticism inside, while McMahan has been known to catch fire from long range.
“I coached (Carr) in JV, and he fully

Cosby senior Cruz Coggins is hoping to show a similar expression this season, as he celebrated last season’s sectional berth with then-assistant coach Travis Sane.
After playing plenty of minutes as a freshman, Cosby sophomore Ezra Spurgeon will look to have an even bigger impact for the Eagles this winter.

understands my philosophy as a coach,” Cody said. “He does all the right things, the intangibles and has good length and a great wingspan that will really help us in the paint.”
“Then Haiden, he can score and get hot at any point,” added Cody. “With his football injury, I hope he can come back even better than he was last year. I would like to see him improve on defense just like I would Darren, but he’s so athletic and quick with the ball.”
The sophomore class features three more key pieces in Ezra Spurgeon, Draiden Sneed and Drake Woodson.
Spurgeon earned plenty of minutes as a freshman, making some key shots inside with a couple crucial 3-pointers too.
But his progression will be spurred even further by the loss of his father, the late Josh Spurgeon, just a month before the start of his sophomore campaign.
“We had a conversation last week, and
obviously he is upset about losing his dad,” said Cody. “We talked about how much Josh would love for him to improve as much as he can, and it’s lit a fire under him in a good way.”
Cody noted that he and assistant Eric Coggins have tinkered with Spurgeon’s mechanics this offseason, and he has honed his shot coming into this year.
“He wasn’t aggressive and didn’t look for his shot as much as we would like,” Cody said. “He already has great length and is a good defender and rebounder and finishes around the basket. I expect him to have a big year after a lot of minutes as a freshman.”
Shooting guard Draiden Sneed has proven himself to be a threat from deep, as he and fellow sophomore Drake Woodson have been in the gym together all summer.
“They have grown about an inch or two each and have matured and gotten stronger,” said Cody. “Draiden has got
such a high IQ, wants to win and has a great release on his shot. Then Drake has probably been our most improved player. He can finish well around the basket and is probably our best on-ball defender.”
With all these ingredients, Cody is hope-
ful that the Eagles can make their return to
“It would mean a lot to me, man. I’ve coached these kids for four years, and as a program, that will always be the goal. It’s hard to put into words how much it would mean.”

After leading his team to a sectional berth in his first year as head coach, Cosby coach Kurry Cody hopes to guide his program to its first state tournament berth since 2021.
Coming off two straight All-State campaigns, Cruz Coggins is laser-focused on ending his senior season with a trip to the state tournament in Murfreesboro.
After cutting some weight in the offseason, Cosby senior Cooper Davis will be even more impactful for the Eagles in his final year wearing blue and white.
