The Warren County Middle School softball team became CTC champions Saturday at Coffee

County Middle School when the Lady Pioneers defeated the host Coffee County Lady Raiders, 10-2, in the championship.

The Lady Pioneers lost the first game of the championship series, 3-2, to the

Lady Raiders but bounced back strongly in game two to capture the title.

The win gives the Lady Pioneers the regular season and tournament championships.

A six-run fourth inning

helped the Lady Pioneers pull away from the Lady Raiders for good. Elia Atterson and Shelby Roberts led the Lady Pioneers at the plate in the final game as they both went 2-for-2 with two singles.

Calyn Damon, Rhealee Johnson, Samantha Jennings, Kylie

Young, Kadence Ledbetter and Sadie Simmons added a hit apiece.

Damon also got the win on the mound for the Lady Pioneers, going five innings and allowing two runs in her final game for the Lady Pioneers.

toms and that was the turning point in the game for the Pioneers.

With a backup keeper and missing their best field player, the Pioneers started controlling the game. The Pioneers were able to find more space and take shots.

With 10 minutes to go, Santiago found the net again and the Pioneers were finally in the lead, 2-1.

In the final minutes, the Eagles were trying to get a goal to tie the game and go into overtime.

The Pioneer defense stepped up and stopped the Eagles and then we were able to get a third goal from Edgar Lopez, 3-1 and that sealed the deal. Soon after the goal, the whistle blew and the Pioneers were champs for the fourth year in a row.

It would be hard to get a more flattering nickname than “Honest Abe” in reference to our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Considering today’s political climate, a politician will likely never hold that nickname again.

Our 10th president, John Tyler, had a nickname that was far less complimentary.

He was called “His Accidency” because Tyler was elevated to the presidency after the death of his predecessor, William Henry Harrison.

Since this is a sports column, I should dodge the doldrums of democracy and talk about something a little more chipper – sports nicknames.

So without further ado, here’s a rundown of the top 10 nicknames in sports history.

10. William “The Refrigerator” Perry – Trying to run up the middle of that 1985 Bears defense probably felt like running into a refrigerator when Perry was playing DT. To borrow a fastfood term, The Fridge was supersized.

9. “Mr. October” Reggie Jackson – With chants of “Reg-gie,” “Reggie,” Jackson made memories with his postseason blasts.

8. Marshawn Lynch “Beast Mode” – When Lynch went “Beast Mode” during that tackle-breaking TD run against the Saints in the playoffs, he gave the sports world a new buzzword. Now when any player is tough to handle, he’s called a beast.

7. Chad Johnson “Ochocinco” – This self-proclaimed nickname was cute enough at first. But it loses points because the flamboyant WR took it a step too far when he officially changed his last name to Ochocinco.

6. Andre the Giant “The Eighth Wonder of the World” – The Frenchman stood 7-foot-4 and weighed over 500 pounds. I can only guess what he ate for breakfast.

5. Earvin “Magic” Johnson – A point guard, Johnson played center in Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Championship and responded with 42 points and 15 rebounds. You know it’s an appropriate nickname when it replaces your real name.

4. “Dr. J” Julius Erving – This nickname lost luster when he became a spokesman for Chapstick and declared himself Dr. Chapstick.

3. David Ortiz “Big Papi” – Legend has it Ortiz has trouble remembering names so he calls everyone “Papi.” That would make him one of the biggest Papis of them all.

2. “Prime Time” Deion Sanders – He liked to throw this nickname around himself, but hey, he lived up to the hype. Not many NFL cornerbacks have distinguished themselves with an endzone dance.

1. “The Mailman” Karl Malone – What do you call a guy who always delivered during his NBA career with the Utah Jazz? Back in his day, The Mailman was the obvious choice. Nowadays, Malone would be known as The Email.

Outstanding season comes to an end WCMS baseball finishes as regular season champs, tournament runners-up KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

The Warren County Middle School baseball team came up short in the CTC tournament championship game against the Tullahoma Wildcats on Saturday at WCMS. The Pioneers needed to defeat the Wildcats twice in order to capture the CTC championship, but fell in game one, 10-0, ending the Pioneers magical season.

Despite the loss, the Pioneers still finished as regular season champions and runner-up in the CTC tournament. The Pioneers didn’t get anything going at the plate in the deciding game as their bats went cold, only mustering three hits.

“We had an unbelievable ride. First in the season, JV champions and runners-up in the CTC championship game.

I would be lying if I said it didn’t bother me that we didn’t win the championship but I’m very proud of my team.” said WCMS coach Chad Young.

“I told the boys to take the experience and build off it. I just want to thank my team, my assistant coaches, my dad and the good Lord for the experience,” Young added.

The Wildcats were the home team in the game

because they had defeated the Pioneers the previous night and were undefeated in the tournament before the matchup.

In the top of the first, the Pioneers had a couple of runners on base, but didn’t get any runs across and the Wildcats took advantage in the bottom of the inning. The Wildcats scored three runs in the bottom of the inning to take the early lead, 3-0, after one.

The Pioneers struck out in order in the top of the second and the Wildcats added to their lead in the bottom of the inning, scoring a run on a sacrifice fly, 4-0.

The score remained the same until the bottom of the fifth.

After the Pioneers continued to struggle at the plate, the Wildcats kept adding to their lead in the bottom of the inning courtesy of an RBI double, 5-0, after five. The Pioneers didn’t put any runs up in the top of the sixth and the Wildcats ended the game in the bottom of the inning.

The Wildcats scored five runs thanks to timely hitting to win the game, 10-0, ending the Pioneers dreams of winning the CTC tournament championship. The Pioneers will be returning a number of starters next year as they hope to get back to the CTC championship.

Preds avoid elimination, force their first Game 7 NASHVILLE (AP) — By treating their elimination game like a Game 7, the Nashville Predators finally have pushed a playoff series to a seventh game.

Now they want to go back to Anaheim and finish off the Ducks.

James Neal scored the winning goal late in the second period, and the Predators beat Anaheim 3-1 on Monday night to force the second Game 7 in the first round of this postseason.

“Anything can happen,” Nashville captain Shea Weber said. “It’s obviously two good teams that are pretty equal and it is going to come down to the last game, and we’ll see how it goes.”

The Predators had lost the previous five Game 6s when needing a win to stay alive in the playoffs, and they snapped a three-game skid to the Ducks to force this series back to Anaheim for the deciding game, tonight.

“For our group to come together like that with the way we played at home, we really wanted to make sure we left it all on the ice tonight because it would have been really disappointing if we lost every game at home,” Predators center Ryan Johansen said.

Weber sealed the victory with an empty-net goal with 10 seconds left off an assist by Neal.

Mattias Ekholm also scored a goal, and Pekka Rinne made 26 saves for the win.

“I don’t think there’s anything better in the Stanley Cup (playoffs) than a Game 7 when everything means something,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. “It’s a big game, our guys will be excited.”

Ryan Kesler scored a power-play goal for the Ducks, who now are 8-6 in Game 6s. They return to Anaheim where they lost their last three last spring in the Western Conference finals to eventual Stanley Cup champ Chicago.

They also lost Game 7 on home ice to the Kings in 2014 and Detroit in 2013.

“It’s a new team, new time,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. “Every year is different. Every day is different. We’re looking forward to the game.”

This will be the first Game 7 with Anaheim for players such as left wing David Perron.

The Ducks did become the first to win on home ice in this series in Game 5.

“We are going to have to rely on guys who have been there before and we are going to throw our everything at them, play our best game and find a way to move on to that second round,” Perron said. “I’m excited for our next game already.”

Rinne, who had been struggling in this series, came up big late. He stopped Corey Perry on a point-blank shot from in front with 6:40 left and turned away Perron’s wrister with less than 3 minutes to go.

Nashville brought out Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker to wave a towel and charge up the sellout crowd. Fans just needed something to cheer after watching the Predators get outscored 12-3 in losing the last three games. They also got right wing Craig Smith back on the ice after he missed most of the last three games with a lower-body injury.

Ekholm put the Predators up 1-0 at 8:10 of the second period, beating Andersen with a wrister from the top of the right circle off a pass from Calle Jarnkrok. That made the defenseman Nashville’s top goal scorer with his second in this series. Fans rewarded the Predators with not one, but two standing ovations in the period.

The Predators took a 2-0 lead when Johansen brought the puck up the right side and passed to Neal at the left post who tapped the puck into the net behind Andersen at 17:45.

“They’re fighting for their lives, and we knew that we were going to get their best,” Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf said.

The Ducks got a power play with 42.8 seconds left in the period when officials penalized Ekholm for holding Hampus Lindolm after the Anaheim defenseman jumped onto Ekholm’s back at the end boards. Kesler tapped the puck into the net behind Rinne who had just stopped a tip-in attempt by Perry.

WCHS track

Boys 4x800 relay team sets school record, again On Saturday, the Warren County varsity track teams competed against more than 15 schools in the Tomahawk Classic Track Meet at Riverdale High School.

In many ways, this track meet in Murfreesboro can be seen as a warmup for the sectionals and finals of the state track meet.

The Pioneers will compete in the highest classification against some of the premier athletes in the state. In the AAA division, it is an accomplishment just to qualify and make it to the state meet which will be held in MTSU on May 26-27.

For the boys, the 4x800 relay team continues to post record-setting performances finishing first against some excellent competition. Grant Walker, Paxton Smith, Jacob Baehman, and Christian Locke ran a time of 8:27 which is their best time this season.

Coach Tom Moore has been impressed with the work ethic of this group. Moore said of the 4x800 team, “They have improved each track meet. Coach Carol Nelson has done a fantastic job training and motivating all of her distance runners.”

One athlete to watch moving forward is Christian Locke. He anchors the 4x800 team and is very competitive in the mile, 800 and possibly the 400 meter runs.

Coach Moore also has been encouraged

with the progress of several of the sprinters for the Pioneers.

“Nathaniel Stalnaker, Jacob Rabideau, Tyree Ladett, and Noah Campbell have all made progress this season,” said Moore.

For the girls, Bethany Fye continues to show her skill in a number of events.

Coach Moore said of Fye, “She is a very good athlete who is also very coachable and unselfish.” Bethany came in 4th in the triple jump with a jump of 30 feet, 5 inches.

Coach Moore feels Fye will have an excellent chance to qualify for the state meet in Murfreesboro.

“Bethany is so good at a number of events, it is sometimes hard to let her really focus on one,” said Moore. “When she has time to really work on a few things, I think we will see her excel especially in the triple jump.”

Alana Owens, Ali Garcia, Gabby Contreras, and Larissa Lopez have been consistent all season for the Pioneers -especially in the relays.

Moore said the girls will be competitive for state qualification in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays.

“We have a great group of girls that compete for us in track,” said Moore.

“They are selfless, dependable, and competitive. I am proud of all of our athletes.”

The next meet for the Pioneers is this Saturday in Tullahoma.

The Covenant Academy Middle School soccer team looked to improve on its 5-1 record entering last Thursday’s matchup against Franklin Christian Academy at Pistole Park. The Lions prevailed, 3-1, and handed FCA its first loss of the season. The Lions are now sitting in a tie for second place with only a few weeks left in the regular season.

It was a close game from the start as both teams were defending well but the Lions got on the board first, 1-0, to take the early advantage. The Lions controlled the ball the rest of the half, keeping it to their side of the field and not letting FCA get behind the defense.

After the Lady Pioneer bats remained cold in the top of the fourth, Whiles entered in relief of Cox in the bottom of the inning and picked up where Cox left off by sitting the Tigerettes down quickly.

That remained the case for both teams in the fifth and sixth innings and the Tigerettes didn’t get on the board again until the bottom of the seventh. Whiles got into a jam to start the bottom of the inning as the Tigerettes had several runners reach base but it didn’t phase her.

Whiles settled down and the Tigerettes managed to score only a run in the bottom of the inning and the Lady Pioneers earned the victory, 3-2.

The Lady Pioneers were back in action Tuesday as they traveled to Cookeville to take on the Cookeville Lady Cavs. Results weren’t available at press time.

more goals before the half ended and were in full control, 3-0, at the half. There were numerous shots on goal for the Lions to start the second half, but none found the back of the net. FCA didn’t take advantage of the missed goals thanks to stout defense by the Lions, keeping FCA away from the goal.

FCA scored with three minutes left, 3-1, but it was too late as the Lions ran out the clock to beat FCA and jump into second place in the standings.

The Lions had another matchup against Providence Christian Academy on Monday night at Pistole Park and won the game, 3-1 to put their record on the season at 7-1 and inch closer to the top spot, trailing Aaron Academy by one game in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference.

WCHS baseball pounds Panthers for two victories

Stewart's words spark rule change If you need something to write about, all you have to do is look up Tony Stewart. He is very controversial when he speaks.

Stewart is a rare commodity in NASCAR, a driver who speaks his mind and says and does whatever he wants, no matter what the consequences. At times, he has paid dearly, both personally and professionally for his choices, but he’s never backed down from being his own man.

Stewart has been in the news since January when he injured himself in a dune buggy accident. Brian Vickers and Ty Dillon have been sharing the driving duties in the Bass Pro Shops No. 14 during the first eight Sprint Cup races while Stewart healed.

Medical clearance came last week and Stewart immediately set his racing schedule. He raced at Richmond last weekend, finishing 19th. After the race, Tony drove onto pit road and after taking his helmet off and climbing out of the car, was all grins -proudly declaring he could have raced another 400 miles. It was exactly the kind of confidence and bravado that has characterized Stewart’s storied racing career. It’s also why the Richmond crowd gave him a standing ovation during driver introductions and why so many NASCAR fans are counting on the 48-time winner to finish his remarkable career on top.

Just a few days prior to getting back in his racecar, Stewart criticized the new lug nut rule. At the beginning of the season, NASCAR decided it would no longer penalize teams for not tightening all the lug nuts. Crew chiefs soon realized they could decrease pit stop times by not tightening all the lug nuts. They then realized they could put four lug nuts on instead of five, leaving one lug nut off the wheel completely.

There were numerous instances where teams had to come back to the pits to tighten lug nuts after the drivers determined it was not safe to drive the cars.

NASCAR decided Stewart went too far with his comments and fined him $35,000. The nine-driver NASCAR Sprint Cup Drivers Council said it would pay the fine but Tony thanked them and stated he would pay his fine and give the council’s $35,000 to charity. Stewart’s words were heard!

NASCAR sent a memo to teams on Monday updating the NASCAR rulebook, again. All five lug nuts are now required to be installed.

Tony Stewart talked to Fox Sports at Richmond Sunday, and when asked if he would hold back any of his opinions, Tony stated: “When it comes to safety, I’m not going to hold back.

That’s $35,000 well invested if it makes it safer for these guys.”

The Warren County High School baseball team traveled Monday night to Crossville, to take on the Stone Memorial Panthers and came out with a huge 11-5 victory.

The Pioneer bats were on fire as they accumulated 10 hits and were led by Brooks Helton’s three RBIs. Nick Williamson and Colby Elkins added two RBIs apiece, while Isaac Golden contributed an RBI in the blowout victory.

Tyler Hollingsworth earned the win on the mound, going seven strong innings, allowing four runs and striking out five Panther batters.

The win was the second in a row for the Pioneers and sent their record to 10-17 on the season. The game remained close as both teams exchanged runs and it was tied, 5-5, until the Pioneers grabbed the lead in the top of the fifth, scoring two runs, 7-5, and never looked back.

The Pioneers distanced themselves from the host Panthers and extended their lead in the top of the seventh, scoring four runs, 11-5, on their way to the victory on the road, after Hollingsworth didn’t allow the Panthers to claw their way back into the game in the bottom of the inning.

On Tuesday, the Pioneers blasted the Panthers yet again, this time at home thanks to Brooks Helton’s dominant performance on the mound, extending their winning streak to three games. Helton went seven shutout innings, striking out eight Panthers, in the 6-0 Pioneer victory.

Lady Pioneers can't contain Cookeville WCHS softball shut out on road by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

The Warren County High School softball team suffered a 10-0 defeat at the hands of the Cookeville Lady Cavaliers Tuesday night in Cookeville.

The Lady Pioneers managed only two hits in the loss, sending their record to 9-8 on the season with a few games left until the district tournament.

Neva Tackett and Abby Hutchins got the only two hits for the Lady Pioneers during the off night at the plate. Lindsey Cox suffered the loss on the mound, going two innings, while surrendering seven runs.

The Lady Pioneers had runners on base in the top of the first but didn’t get any runs across, failing to take the early advantage on the road. Cox got two quick outs in the bottom of the inning but the lady Cavs managed to score a run on a passed ball to take the lead, 1-0, after one.

After Tackett singled to start the second, the Lady Pioneer bats turned cold, suffering three quick outs to end the top half of the inning. The Lady Cavaliers increased their lead in the bottom of the inning scoring on a home run, three RBI doubles, a single, and a sacrifice fly, 7-0.

The Lady Cavaliers had all of the momentum on their home field and the Lady Pioneers didn’t change that as they went down in order in the top of the third.

Ashton Whiles replaced Cox on the mound in the bottom of the third, but the Lady Cavalier bats remained hot.

A 2-RBI double and an error by the Lady Pioneers, allowed the Lady Cavaliers to score three runs in the bottom of the inning to give them the double-digit lead, 10-0, after three.

The Lady Pioneers kept getting runners on base in the fourth and fifth innings but that didn’t lead to scoring runs and the Lady Cavs went on to defeat the Lady Pioneers, 10-0, in five innings.

The Lady Pioneers were back on the diamond Thursday night as they celebrated senior night and faced against Stone Memorial.

Results weren’t available at press time.

The Warren County High School soccer team clinched second place in the district Tuesday night as the Pioneers defeated the White County Warriors on the road, 1-0. The Pioneer record sits at 5-5 on the season with district play already in the books.

The Pioneers have three

more regular-season games before district tournament play begins.

Taylor Madewell led the charge for the Pioneers, scoring the lone goal on a sloppy field.

The Pioneers and the Warriors were deadlocked in the first half as both teams didn’t get past the others defense. Both teams got shots on goal but none found the back of the net as the game remained a

scoreless tie at the half.

Much like the first half, the Pioneers controlled much of the second half as they didn’t allow the Warriors to hardly advance the ball to their side of the field. Madewell broke the scoreless tie between the teams early in the second half with an assist from Juan Casas, 1-0, and the Pioneers finally had the momentum on the road.

As time dwindled down, the Pioneer defense continued to be solid, not allowing the Warriors to tie the game on their home field and ultimately prevailed, 1-0, clinching the No. 2 seed in the district.

The Pioneers were back in action Thursday night in Shelbyville, looking to improve on their 5-5 record. Results weren’t available at press time.

The Boyd Bronco baseball team won its seventh straight game Tuesday night as they defeated the Cannon County Lions, 7-0, at home.

The Broncos improved to 14-3 with the win with only a few games left in the regular season.

Branson Wells, Dylan Legeune, Jalyn Mart and Brady McCormack led the Broncos in the hit column, providing the Broncos four hits in the game. McCormack, Legeune, Wells, Isaiah Owens and Jace Brantley all had RBIs for the Broncos.

McCormack earned the win on the mound, going two innings, allowing no runs and striking out four Lion batters. Jace Brantley entered in relief for the save in the fifth inning, striking out two Lion batters.

The Lions had a runner on second base after a double to the outfield but didn’t manage to score a run as they struck out looking to end the top half of the inning.

The Broncos struck first in the scoring column, scoring three runs thanks to an RBI single from Wells and a passed ball and a fielder’s choice by the Lions, scoring two Broncos, 3-0, after one.

Both teams did nothing at the plate in the second and after the Lions went down quickly in the top of the third, the Broncos added to their lead in the bottom of the inning. Wells scored on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning, 4-0, keeping the momentum on their side.

McCormack continued to deal on the mound, sitting down the Lion batters quickly in the top of the fourth and the Broncos put the finishing touches on the game in the bottom of the inning.

Two RBI doubles and a passed ball helped the Broncos widen their lead to seven, 7-0, after four.

Jace Brantley came in for the save in the top of the fifth and finished off the Lions, putting them down quickly to give the Broncos their 14th victory, 7-0.

The Broncos will be back in action today as they host Riverside Christian. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.

I see nothing wrong with boosters The Blackman High School Football Booster Club has caught the attention of the Tennessee Comptroller.

This is not a good thing for Blackman.

In a report released last month, the Comptroller determined there was more than $96,000 in coaches supplements and other questionable spending that came from two bank accounts operated by the football boosters. This is a major no-no, the Comptroller says, about payments that took place between June 16, 2011 and March 27, 2015. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the Blackman football coach resigned March 27, 2015.

Some of the questionable transactions included checks written to “cash” and marked with descriptions on the memo line such as: “coaches supplement,” “summer $$ #2,” “summer $ - final,” and “gift cards.” Other checks were written directly to coaches.

Booster club officials claim the former head football coach directed them to provide cash or purchase gift cards for himself, assistant coaches, and others. The former football coach denied receiving cash from football boosters other than reimbursements.

Comptroller investigators also questioned over $69,000 in fuel payments made by Blackman High School to a local gas station. Of this amount, $9,930 was used for fuel purchased by the former head football coach, or members of his family.

While the State Comptroller is shaking his finger at Blackman, my question is this. What’s wrong with giving a football coach money?

Most sports fans realize it takes money to compete when it comes to athletics.

This is certainly true at the pro and college levels, but it also trickles down to high school – even middle school -- sports.

If you have a talented coach who can build a winning program, this coach is going to expect to be paid.

What’s wrong with paying him?

Since school systems often don’t pay what first-rate coaches think they’re worth, there’s a scramble to make up the difference. Enter booster clubs and their often-large wallets.

I thought in America we could give money to whoever we please. If I want to give $500 to my church, I can. If I want to give $500 to grease the palm of a politician, I can.

If I want to give $500 to a street beggar, I can.

But if I want to give money to my son’s high school football coach through a donation to the booster club, it triggers an investigation from the Tennessee Comptroller. I disagree.

I don’t see the Blackman Football Boosters as playing dirty. I see them as playing the game. It takes money to compete at every level of sports. If it’s my legally earned money, I should be able to give it to the person of my choice.

State champs Lady Pioneers win TRA title by

Kara Caten looks to break a tackle during action earlier this year for the WCHS girls rugby team. The Lady Pioneers captured the state title with a 27-0 victory Saturday in Murfreesboro, defeating previous champion Germantown.

The Warren County High School girls rugby team captured the state title with a dominating 27-0 victory over previous champion Germantown in the TRA state tournament Saturday in Murfreesboro, capping a remarkable season.

This is the first state title for the Lady Pioneers as they dominated Germantown the whole game, leaving no doubt who is No. 1.

Jordan Bess, Kionna Smith, Lila Loftis, Sianna Womack and Emily Blankenship led the Lady Pioneers with a successful try apiece in the match.

Womack was also named most valuable player by the TRA, playing an inspired game, prior to leaving with a shoulder injury with five minutes to go. Mackenzie Woods, Peyton Boren and Samantha Bell were leading tacklers for the Lady Pioneers.

Coach George Smartt said, “We used a strong defense to limit Germantown’s ability to move the ball.”

“These girls have focused on their goal, played unselfishly, and supported each other throughout the season,” Smartt continued. “They are some of the finest kids

I have had the opportunity to coach. They never give up, work constantly to improve, and learn quickly from their mistakes.”

The Lady Pioneers stopped the Germantown attack in the first half by playing well on both sides of the ball, controlling most of the first half.

Womack broke the scoreless tie and scored to put the Lady Pioneers up, 5-0.

Lila Loftis added a try later in the half and the Lady Pioneers were up, 10-0.

The Lady Pioneer defense came up big late in the first half holding Germantown, which was threatening inside the Lady Pioneer 10-yard line for nearly two minutes, leaving them scoreless, to end the half, 10-0.

The second half was more of the same as the Lady Pioneers continued to play strong defense and Germantown didn’t have an answer on the scoreboard. Blankenship, Smith and Bess all scored in the second half, putting the Lady Pioneers up, 27-0, with little time remaining.

Germantown still didn’t have an answer for the Lady Pioneers scoring as time ran out and the Lady Pioneers became TRA State Champions in dominating fashion, 27-0, bringing home their first state title in program history, in only two years of being established.

Elkins leads Pioneers past Jets Win lets WCHS avoid elimination by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

The Warren County High School baseball team kept its season alive Saturday at home with an 11-6 victory over the Cumberland County Jets. The win was the Pioneers third of the season against the Jets.

Colby Elkins continued his hot streak at the plate and was a huge part in the Pioneers picking up the victory, saving their season by going 3-for-4 with a single, double, homerun, a run scored and six RBIs, just missing the cycle.

Noah Fann earned the win on the mound, going six innings, allowing five runs on five hits and striking out six.

The Jets had runners in scoring position in the top of the first, but failed to capitalize on the scoreboard. The Pioneers struck first in the bottom of the inning when Taisei Yasunaga scored on a passed ball and Cole Estes scored on a fielder ’s choice, 2-0, after one.

A fielder ’s choice and an error by the Pioneers helped the Jets tie things up in the

top of the second, 2-2. The Pioneers broke the tie in the bottom of the inning when Ethan Smith scored on an error by the Jets, 3-2. Elkins came up a few batters later and smashed a 2-RBI double to left field, his second hit of the game, 5-2.

After the Jets went down quickly in the top of the third, the Pioneers kept adding to their lead in the bottom of the inning, scoring three runs thanks to RBI singles by Yasunaga and Estes, followed by a sacrifice fly by Elkins, 8-2, after three.

Mikkola's big day at plate helps lift Lady Pioneers Cox hurls shutout in tournament playoff win by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Emily Mikkola looks to lay down a bunt during action last week against Cumberland County. Mikkola and the Lady Pioneers defeated the host Stone Memorial Lady Panthers 11-0 Friday night in the first round of the district tournament at Stone Memorial High School.

The Warren County High School softball team started its district tournament playoff with a bang by crushing the host Stone Memorial Lady Panthers, 11-0, at Stone Memorial High School on Friday night. With the win, the Lady Pioneers advanced to the quarterfinals of the district tournament.

The Lady Pioneers were considered the home team because they were the higher seed.

Emily Mikkola was a huge part in the win, going 3-for-4 with four RBIs and a run scored. Senior Lindsey Cox earned the win on the mound, in a dominating performance, shutting out the Lady Panthers, allowing three hits and striking out seven Lady Panther batters.

Cox sat down the Lady Panthers quickly in the top of the first inning and the Lady Pioneers gained momentum from the host team in the bottom of the

inning. The Lady Pioneers scored on a fielder’s choice by the Lady Panthers, 1-0, after one.

The Lady Panthers managed to get two runners on base in the top of the second inning but didn’t put any runs on the scoreboard.

Abby Hutchins came up first in the bottom of the inning and crushed a solo homerun over the leftfield fence, extending the lead, 2-0.

Cox continued to roll on the mound as the Lady Panthers went down in order. Mikkola’s RBI single in the bottom of the inning had the Lady Pioneers up by three, 3-0, after three.

The Lady Panthers continued to struggle at the plate in the top of the fourth and the Lady Pioneer lead widened in the bottom of the inning. The Lady Pioneers scored five runs in the bottom of the inning thanks to RBI singles by Cox, Ty Ramirez and Mikkola and errors by the Lady Panthers, leading to two Lady Pioneer runs, 8-0.

Both teams failed to get any runs on the board in

went crazy, and I just didn’t know what to do. It was really nice.”

Nashville coach Peter Laviolette had just moved Arvidsson to the top line with Johansen and Filip Forsberg for this game, and the Swede responded by scoring his first goal this postseason. Fans celebrated by tossing a bunch of the hats given away for this game onto the ice.

“He’s such a fun player to watch,” Laviolette said of Arvidsson. “He got some speed behind him in the neutral zone. He was able to turn it over and get an angle to get a shot off. It was a great shot.”

No road team has won yet in this second-round series, and the franchise that had never forced a Game 7 until this postseason will play in its second straight with a berth in the Western Conference finals on the line. The Predators just earned their first twoday break between games since the postseason started.

The Predators forced the first Game 7 in franchise history two weeks ago by beating Anaheim in Game 6, and now they’ll add their fifth flight to California and the approximately 15,000 miles traveled already this postseason.

NASHVILLE (AP) — Viktor Arvidsson’s first playoff goal of his young career certainly is a moment to remember. The rest of the Nashville Predators are just grateful he scored so quickly after surviving a triple-overtime thriller in Game 4.

Arvidsson scored 2:03 into overtime, and the Predators forced a deciding seventh game for their second straight series by beating the San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Monday night.

“That was the second most exciting part of him scoring was that it was in the first three minutes,” Predators left wing Colin Wilson said. “We get to get to bed at a regular time.

It’s big to get that out of the way early. I’m happy for Arvy.”

The young Swede jumped the puck just inside the blue line going into Nashville’s offensive zone, splitting between Melker Karlsson and Justin Braun on his left with Marc-Edouard Vlasic on the right. He skated up the left side into the circle before throwing a backhander past goaltender Martin Jones.

“Unbelievable,” said Arvidsson, who turned 23 last month. “I didn’t see it go in at first. The crowd

with the game still tied.

The overtime saw the Royals take the lead in the final minutes, 2-1.

The Royals won the MTAC championship, but not without a valiant effort by the Lions, 2-1.

17711

The Covenant Middle School soccer team faced undefeated A a ro n Academy in the MTAC soccer championship Saturday at Pistole Park.

The Lions ultimately lost, 2-1, in overtime to the Royals to end their spectacular season.

Coaches Cari Anderson and Chris Madewell had this to say about the Lion’s season. “Our middle school team had an outstanding season. We couldn’t be happier with the season’s outcome. The team played their hearts out. Who could ask for anything more? Alltournament players Jackson Smith and Will Cheek, both eighth-graders, will be missed next year, but an added bonus for our high school team.”

It was a back-andforth match throughout as both teams’ defenses stood strong. There were plenty of shots on goal in the first half with most of them just missing the net, until the Royals scored just before halftime to take the lead at the half, 1-0.

The second half started with both teams continuing to get shots and midway through the second half, the Lions finally got on the board to tie things up. Ethan Hillis got the ball just in front of the net and scored,

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry is the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season Tuesday after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.

The Golden State superstar is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the first guard to do so since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada.

He was followed in the vote by Kawhi

Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

Curry is the first two-time winner in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner. After guiding Golden State to its first championship in 40 years, Curry & Co. took that success even further to finish with 73 regular-season wins to top mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10.

Sports' greatest coaches What name comes to mind when you think of a great coach in sports, past or present? There are names that come to mind when I think of great coaches in sports and they are, Nick Saban, who has won four national titles at Alabama and is probably the greatest coach in college football history, Bill Belichick and Greg Popovich, who both are other coaches who have won multiple titles at the highest level of competition. You could even throw in a name like Joe Torre.

There are also local Warren County coaches who have flashed greatness over the years, including Bobby Newby and Pedro Paz, who are among several other great coaches that have coached in Warren County.

All of these names I have mentioned, so far, have put, or are still putting in, the time and effort to become the greatest coach they can be. You can say what you want to about all of these coaches but one thing that can’t be questioned is their greatness and how they have made their mark in their respective sports.

There are many other coaches I could think of but I’ve narrowed it down to who I think the greatest players and coaches are in college football, college basketball, NFL and NBA, and why they deserve that honor.

College Football: Nick Saban, head coach of Alabama football (2007-present). Yes, you might dislike him if you’re any other fan of an SEC school, but the facts are simple. Saban is nothing but a winner. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban won a title in 2004 at LSU and since he has arrived in Tuscaloosa he has a 100-18 record with four national titles, has had two Heisman winners, and has won four SEC titles.

NFL: Vince Lombardi, head coach of the Green Bay Packers. Lombardi was as fierce as they come when it came to coaching. He won five titles in his nine years in Green Bay and had several Hall of Fame coaches from his coaching tree, including Dick Lebeau, who is currently an assistant coach on the Titans staff.

NBA: Phil Jackson, head coach of the Chicago Bulls (1991-98) and Los Angeles Lakers (1999-2011). Jackson was an 11-time NBA champion as a coach and won two as a player for the New York Knicks, who had the opportunity to coach legends, such as Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.

College Basketball: John Wooden, UCLA basketball coach (1948-1975).

Wooden was a six-time coach of the year and had an overall record of 664-162. He also won 10 national titles while coaching the Bruins, including coaching legendary players Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Bill Walton.

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

In girls 7-9 softball action at Pete Holt Field, Edward Jones was looking to remain undefeated as it took on Carbide Crossfit. Edward Jones earned the victory defeating Carbide Crossfit 15-3 behind solid hitting throughout the lineup.

Lily Rains led the way at the plate for Edward Jones, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and a homerun. Halle Lowe, McKayla Cagle, Callie Roberts and Kia King added three hits apiece for Edward Jones.

Despite the loss, Abby Fann went 2-for-2 with a homerun and a double for Carbide Crossfit.

Carbide Crossfit struck first on the scoreboard in the top of the first thanks to a two-run homerun by Fann to make it a two-run game, 2-0, heading into the bottom of the inning.

Briley Jones added a hit and an RBI.

Edward Jones answered with a vengeance in the bottom of the inning, scoring courtesy of 3-RBI double by Rains, 3-2. Rains later scored to make it a tworun lead for Edward Jones, 4-2, after one.

Both teams’ bats went cold in the second, with both failing to score any runs and after Carbide Crossfit went down in order in the top of the third, Edward Jones blew the game open.

McKayla Cagle started the inning with a double that was followed by an RBI triple by Lowe, 5-2. A Roberts RBI single and a Rains 2-RBI double and a Brynlee Chisam sacrifice hit, scoring Rains, helped Edward Jones add to its lead, 9-2, after three.

An RBI triple by Jones was the only scoring Carbide Crossfit managed to get in the top of the fourth, 9-3 and Edward

Jones put the game away for good in the bottom of the inning.

A grand slam h o m e ru n by Roberts had Edward Jones up, 13-3. Lily Rains came up a few batters later and added a two-run shot, 15-3 and Edward Jones won the game courtesy of the run-rule, to r e m a i n undefeated on the season.

Callie Roberts reaches for a throw to first base during action earlier this season. Roberts and Edward Jones remained undefeated with a 15-3 victory over Carbide Crossfit at Pete Holt Field.

TITANS NOTEBOOK

Draft pick sidelined by surgery NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee Titans second-round pick Kevin Dodd will be out until the start of training camp after undergoing surgery on his right foot Thursday morning.

Dodd, the 33rd overall pick in this year’s draft, had 12 ½ sacks for Clemson last season and is expected to help bolster the Titans pass rush as a rookie.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Dodd had had some soreness in his foot dating back to the Titans rookie minicamp. Mularkey said further tests on the foot indicated more damage could potentially be done to it if Dodd didn’t undergo surgery.

“We were smart and did some more tests on it with the MRI, and it just showed there could have been some issues down the road if we tried to push him with it, and why do it,” Mularkey said. “Why have an injury later on when we can take care of it and nip it in the bud right now?”

Dodd will miss the rest of Tennessee’s organized team activities and the mandatory minicamp in June.

“It was more preventative than anything,” Mularkey said. “I thought it was smart on all sides to get it done now.”

Bell out for season NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey says offensive lineman Byron Bell will miss the season after dislocating his left ankle on the Titans’ first day of organized team activities.

Mularkey said he did not know the full extent of Bell’s injury, but the veteran’s left ankle was placed into an air cast before he being carted off the field Tuesday.

Mularkey says it’s an unfortunate injury with Bell having worked hard this offseason and competing for a starting job. Bell signed a one-year deal with the Titans this offseason after four seasons with Carolina.

The Titans drafted Jack Conklin out of Michigan

Locals take second in tourney

State with the eighth overall draft pick, but Bell started 16 games last season with the first seven at left guard, eight at right tackle and the finale at left tackle.

Mariota bulks up NASHVILLE (AP) — Marcus Mariota feels much more comfortable going into his second season with the Tennessee Titans. The quarterback also is a little heavier.

The few extra pounds could help Mariota better handle the long NFL season.

“Sixteen games is a long season, and unfortunately I didn’t make all 16 last year,” Mariota said Tuesday. “That’s definitely a goal of mine to play all 16.”

Mariota and the rest of the Titans hit the field Tuesday for the first of Tennessee’s 10 organized team activities during their offseason program.

The quarterback has a lot of new faces looking back at him in the huddle thanks to a busy offseason by new general manager Jon Robinson. Mariota also has a new offensive coordinator in Terry Robiskie.

Instead of an undrafted free agent taking his handoffs, Mariota now can give the ball to the NFL’s 2014 rushing leader in DeMarco Murray or the rookie who followed the quarterback in winning the Heisman Trophy in Derrick Henry. Mariota said Murray made a few cuts Tuesday that were pretty special.

“To have someone like that, a talent back there is not only going to open up a lot of run game stuff, but the play-action game as well as the pass game,” Mariota said. “To have that threat in the backfield will really make our team a lot more dimensional.”

That’s all by design.

The Titans are trying to better protect Mariota and give him more offensive help to keep defenses from teeing off on the quarterback who set a handful of franchise passing records as a rookie.

Mariota was 230 of 370 for 2,818 yards passing and 19 touchdowns — all team records. He also had the longest run in the NFL last season at 87 yards.

The 11U Pioneers captured second place in the Silver Major Division of the BPA Rotary Tournament held in Mt. Juliet on May 21-22.

WCHS track Talking about the competition and how proud they are of the boys, coach Tom Moore and coach Carol Nelson said. “Our boys have not been to state in years and we are extremely proud of how hard they worked to make it. Our boys have never been to such a big track with so many lanes before. At first, they asked me if one lap was a half mile instead of two, which, unfortunately for them, was not the case.”

“The boys were definitely nervous because they wanted to prove athletes at Warren County High School have the potential to attain impressive goals if they believe in themselves and put in the work. Coach Moore and I feel they represented our school extremely well and set a precedent for future athletes to follow,” coach Nelson added.

Talking about the 4x800 race and how they thought the race went, Moore and Nelson said, “The competition was phenomenal. They outran Cleveland and Seigel again. Both teams have been tough competition for them this season, yet they were able to train hard and stay ahead of them.”

When asked on what making the state tournament means to WCHS, coach Nelson said, “The state track meet was an

amazing opportunity for Warren County High School students to be exposed to a track event of this caliber.”

She continued, “We had an outpouring of support from other runners and their parents.

Plus, WCHS athletic

director Todd Willmore made the effort to come out and watch the boys even though he had to sit in the heat for several

hours just to watch two events.

That really meant a lot to coach Moore and me and the boys.”

Loss of a legend The sports world lost a sports legend last Friday when Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74.

Ali was a huge inspiration to all sports fans and people in general around the world outside and inside the boxing ring.

His flashy style and several inspirational quotes, that most people know by heart still to this day, will let his legend live forever.

There will never be another boxer like Ali and even though I personally never saw him box, the video archives of his fights will live on for generations to come.

Ali was probably the best trash talker in history, but boy could he back every word up.

Ali posted a 56-5 record in his boxing career with 37 knockouts and was a threetime world heavyweight champion. He also holds a boxing record that will never be broken, including, most time as undisputed champion, three times.

He was stripped of his world heavyweight title in 1967 and banned from boxing after refusing to join the Army, which robbed him of his prime boxing years. He returned to the boxing ring in 1970 and his last fight was in 1981.

He battled Parkinson’s disease from 1984 until his death, which was one of his greatest battles ever.

With that being said, there will never be another Ali and here is the list of the five greatest Ali boxing matches of all-time.

1964: Cassius Clay vs Sonny Liston I Going in as a 7-1 underdog, Ali, known as Cassius Clay at the time, didn’t listen to the doubters.

Ali used his speed in the ring and wore Liston out quickly.

Ali landed numerous punches and in the sixth round Liston couldn’t fight anymore, giving Ali the technical knockout victory.

1974: Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman; “The Rumble in the Jungle” This match was after Ali had defeated Joe Frazier and was considered a heavy underdog going into the bout.

Foreman was undefeated with a 40-0 record with 37 KOs. Ali knocked out Foreman in the eighth round and introduced the boxing word to the rope-a-dope tactic.

1975: Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier I; “The Fight of The Century” Ali and Frazier were both undefeated heading into their first bout against each other. Ali was absent from boxing for three years and Frazier was at the top of the mountain.

Ali controlled the match early, but Frazier won the fight in 15 rounds via unanimous decision.

1975: Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III; “The Thrilla in Manilla” It was Frazier and Ali’s most gruesome match against each other with both fighters trading punch after punch.

Ali finally earned the win in the 14th round via a technical knockout when Frazier had nothing left in the tank.

Big man gets big offers Calbert receives interest from multiple SEC schools by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Warren County High School football player Krojhn Calbert has been making noise and has received offers from several prominent Southeastern Conference schools. Calbert participated in the Field House Satellite camp in Knoxville last week.

Calbert, hasn’t played in two seasons for the Pioneers after he suffered an ACL tear three games into his freshman season. Calbert had surgery to repair the tear but had a setback when the surgery didn't go well. He had to have surgery again in the spring of his sophomore year, which made him miss the entire 2015 football season.

Calbert received offers from the Florida Gators, South Carolina Gamecocks and Mississippi State Bulldogs during the camp and was clocked at running a 4.9 in the 40 at 6-foot-6, 285 pounds with 11.5-inch hands and 34.5-inch arms.

He had this to say about the experience.

“Those schools did offer yesterday.

I’m truly humbled and grateful for the offers,” Calbert said Friday.

Calbert added about the camp, “I thought the camp went great. It’s great being able to learn and get coached up by some of the best college coaches in the country. I feel like this has been great exposure for me.”

Calbert has been raised by his grandmother, along with his four cousins, and he hopes to provide a better life for all of them.

Calbert is also looking for the Tennessee Vols to offer him a scholarship in the near future. Calbert told 247Sports, “I’m trying to get UT under my belt,” he said. “They know about me so I’m trying to persuade them to get that under my belt. I’m from Tennessee and taking nothing from other schools, but getting an offer from your home state would be great.”

WCHS football head coach Tom Moore had this to say about Calbert. “Krojhn did a good job for us in the spring, especially since he has not played football for two years. He took to coaching well.”

“We are excited that Krojhn has joined the team again. He is a good kid and we are happy for him to have opportunities to advance his education and football career. I am happy for any of our boys who are able to advance themselves,” Moore added.

According to 247Sports, Calbert is rated as the No. 61 offensive tackle in the country. Calbert will possibly attend the Michigan Wolverines satellite camp in Murfreesboro this week and he is considering camps at Memphis, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Tennessee.

It could be a huge season on the gridiron for Calbert if all goes well and the offers keep rolling in.

Grayson reflected on what it means to him to win the Warren County Athlete of the Year Award.

“It was really great. I wasn’t expecting it at all. I was surprised when I got the call from Todd and I’m very grateful to have received the award.”

Grayson concluded on what he would take away from the experience of being at the ceremony.

“It gives me a lot of goals for the future but I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my family, coaches and teammates.”

Both Grayson and Lopez will look to continue to set good examples on and off the field this fall.

Christian Lopez, Daniel Hullett and Cody Mackie show off their bodybuilding trophies as they flex at Iron Worx gym. All three competitors combined to bring home seven trophies from the Hub City bodybuilding show in Jackson.

ESTATE AUCTION

SATURDAY, JUNE 18, AT 9:00 A.M. NICE BRICK HOME W/GARAGE ANTIQUES & PERSONAL PROPERTY (Estate of Ms. Billie Lee Fuston)

Iron Worx gym is making a name for itself as three of its members took home seven trophies in the Hub City Bodybuilding show in Jackson.

Cristhian Lopez, Daniel Hullett and Cody Mackie all took home high honors in the competition.

Their hard work and dedication is an inspiration to many gym-goers who have followed their transformation.

Lopez took home first place in teen bodybuilding as well as first place in classic physique class A. Hullett took home first place in novice body building, first place in junior body building heavyweight and second place in masters 35-40 body building. Mackie took home second place in open light heavyweight body building.

“You can’t really appreciate what you are working for until you stand up on the stage. It was worth it all to see all of the hard work paid off and all the smiles of my teammates,” Mackie said.

Iron Worx went into the show as a relative unknown, but that all changed when the team racked up award.

“Nobody knew who

Iron Worx gym was and what we are about before the competition but after the competition, now they know.”

Hullett said.

When asked about the competition, Mackie said, “We have a good, solid team. Cristhian is very young and Daniel and I have been friends for a long time. It was an overall good experience.

“It was my very first competition stepping on stage, ever. I lost about 44 pounds to compete in the competition and I was able to hit the poses pretty spot on. That’s how I was able to bring the trophies home,” Hullett said.

“It was my first competition as well and it was just an idea I had but I really enjoyed it.

It’s a totally different world up on stage and I hope to continue to do competitions in the future,” Lopez said.

Talking about Hullett’s and Lopez’s first competition, Mackie had an interesting story. “Our diets were the same all week and nothing really changed but the night before Cristhian contracted a stomach virus and had it throughout the competition. After the trophies were presented Daniel had caught the same virus, so it was definitely a memorable first competition for those two.”

All three guys have put in a lot of work in the gym and have followed a very strict diet.

All of them were asked about their workout regimen and their diet, leading up to the competition.

“My training didn’t really change much, other than adding cardio. My weights basically stayed the same. It’s really more diet than training,” Mackie said.

When asked about his diet, “I have a very strict diet year round and my foods are the same year round it’s just my quantities change. I mainly did carb manipulation and I went from 400-500 grams and before the show I was down to 100 grams.” Mackie added.

Hullett said this about his workouts.

“My workouts are about six to seven days a week and about an hour of cardio a day. It was basically a lot of hardcore dieting and cycling,” Hullett said.

Lopez concluded, “My diet was very clean and consisted of fish and asparagus, stuff that won’t make you full. My energy levels were depleted toward the end.”

Mackie said the team had a good time and hopes he and his teammates bring home trophies for years to come for Iron Worx gym.

MTSU basketball coach pays visit KYLE ROBINSON

MTSU current basketball coach Kermit Davis and MTSU legendary coach and McMinnville native Jimmy Earle are all smiles as they attend the weekly Noon Rotary Club meeting this past Thursday. added.

Talking about the Michigan State game Davis said, “It gave our team some national exposure against a team that was supposed to win the national championship.

We played well, as did Michigan State.”

“I saw Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo a few weeks after the game on the recruiting trail and he said, “Kermit sometimes those upsets happen to teams that don’t shoot well, but we shot 55 percent from the floor. We made 11 three-pointers and it was just one heck of a college team and you have a great team.”

“I think we wanted to act after the game the way that Michigan State would’ve if they had won and we did, with class.”

The game brought a lot of publicity and millions of dollars in advertising, according to coach Davis, to MTSU branding and has done a lot for MTSU in the athletic department as a whole.

MTSU was one of seven teams in the NCAA tournament with 100 percent graduation rate this year, along with Villanova, Duke, Notre Dame, Butler, Iowa and Indiana.

“Not only does it equate winning, it equates about the academic piece of who we are. We are in the top 8 percent in the nation in total academics.”

Davis had high praise also about the academics someone can receive at

MTSU. “The beauty about MTSU is you can get an Ivy League education in the honors college and you can get all you need academically as a player or regular student.”

The community service part of building a program is always important to the MTSU basketball team as well. “You can’t have great players, good students and not do a good job in the community. You will still get your tail whipped every game.”

Davis said the team saying is, “You better root for the community before the community will root for you.”

When asked on how the players are different from back in 1984 until today Davis said, “There really isn’t a difference. Players still want discipline, struc-

In his 34th year of collegiate basketball coaching, Kermit Davis is the winningest coach for MTSU men’s basketball.

Davis led MTSU to a shocking upset of No. 2 seed Michigan State back in March, which was the biggest win in school history besides upsetting Kentucky in the 1975 NCAA tournament. The Blue Raiders have won more games than any other Tennessee team in the past five seasons, including Belmont, Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee.

In the past five seasons, MTSU has beaten UCLA, Auburn, Ole Miss twice, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Belmont. The attendance for basketball games increased by 18 percent to over 5,200 in attendance at every game.

“We want the attendance to increase even more this year,” Davis said.

Davis was the guest speaker at the Noon Rotary Club weekly meeting Thursday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church on Main Street. Davis, who was accompanied by MTSU hall-of-fame coach and Warren County native Jimmy Earle, talked about the state of the MTSU basketball team going into next season, with several returning starters and the state of college basketball in general.

Davis grew up in Starksville, Miss., where his father, Kermit Davis Sr., coached for numerous years at Mississippi State and won SEC player of the year in 1971. Davis has coached at numerous places in his 34 years, including, Idaho, Texas A&M, and 15 seasons at MTSU. Talking about the basketball program Davis said, “We are proud of what we are doing and we love it in Murfreesboro.

The academic part is critical in today’s time and is probably the most important part in building a team.

We have recently, since this past May, graduated our 42nd basketball player in a row.”

“We always look to bring in the right players for our program and what we are trying to be is a national program,” Davis

ture, organization and someone as a coach that understands who they are.

The big difference is communication and body language is a big part of communicating to today’s players.”

Coach Davis said there are three things a player should have on the team and that is good eye contact, a firm handshake, and respect. “If you come to one of our games, our team will not leave until the color guard is off the floor.

That gets back to having respect and that’s what our team is all about.”

Predicting the future of college basketball, Davis said, “College sports is fixing to be like pro sports.

In three to four years, all of the college players will be able to transfer freely without having to sit a year. It’s going to be like free agency without the money.”

The question was asked if college players should be paid and coach Davis said, “We need to keep it as amateur as we can.”

Talking about Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Davis said, “Growing up, my favorite player was “Pistole” Pete Maravich, and I have never seen a player with the dribbling skills of Maravich and shooting skills that are out of this world and Curry has that and is fun to watch.”

The MTSU basketball team has several key games this season as it looks to improve even more. Games against Vanderbilt at home, VCU on the road, at Belmont, and at Ole Miss, will highlight the season for the Blue Raiders.

'Mr. Hockey' dies at 88 DETROIT (AP) — Gordie Howe worked all his remarkable life to earn the respect and awe that came with being “Mr. Hockey.”

The Canadian farm boy who developed his brute strength and incredible stamina on the Saskatchewan prairie could put his team ahead with a timely goal or even the score with opponents with his elbows and fists. Away from the rink, Howe worked just as hard to become one of the most lik-

able superstars in any sport.

If there is anything hockey reveres, it’s hard work.

Few brought more of that to the game than Howe, whose boundless blend of talent and toughness made him the NHL’s quintessential star during a career that lasted into his 50s. He died Friday at the age of 88 surrounded by family members after a storied career that included four Stanley Cup championships.

“Mr Hockey left peacefully, beautifully, and w no

regrets,” Murray Howe said in a text to The Associated Press, adding that his father died simply of “old age.”

The Detroit Red Wings, Howe’s longtime team, said Howe died in Sylvania, Ohio, at the home of Murray Howe. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Howe shattered records, dropped gloves and threw elbows while helping the Red Wings win those four championships. He became an idol for many and is credited with helping the

sport attract American fans in a development key to the league’s growth.

“When Gordie came into the NHL, hockey was a Canadian game. He converted it into a North American game,” former NHL President Clarence Campbell said when Howe retired the first time in 1971 because he was playing with arthritis in his left wrist and for a last-place team.

With finesse and a heavy dose of grit, the Hockey Hall of Famer set NHL

records with 801 goals and 1,850 points — mostly with the Red Wings — that held up until Gretzky came along. The Great One himself left no doubt about what he thought of Howe.

“Unfortunately we lost the greatest hockey player ever today, but more importantly the nicest man I have ever met,” Gretzky tweeted.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman lauded “the incomparable” Howe as a remarkable athlete with incredible longevity.

Eli Kuykendall went the distance and Alex Jones went yard as Gary Steele Karate ended its season with an exclamation point Tuesday night.

The karate boys were like ninjas on the baseball diamond in claiming a 12-4 victory over Game Xchange to win the boys 12-14-yearold championship at the Civic Center.

Kuykendall was a gem on the mound, finishing with 13 strikeouts and only allowing one hit in pitching all six innings.

He had plenty of offense to back him up, including a sixth-inning blast from Jones that sailed over the centerfield fence for his first career home run. Jones celebrated his way around the bases and received a big high-five from Sam Davidson of Game Xchange when he got to third.

“When I hit it, I saw the outfielder looking up and watching it go,” said Jones. “That’s when I thought Gary Steele Karate batter Alex Jones and Game Xchange it was gone.” catcher Riley Morton watch as Jones crushes a pitch over the centerfield fence for a home run Tuesday night. The hit was Continued on 2B one of many highlights for Gary Steele Karate.

E.W. Dempsey has been all over the world giving free basketball lessons.

For the second year in a row, his organization, Three Point Play Ministries, will be offering a free, four-day basketball camp at McMinnville Civic Center.

The camp is July 5-8 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. each day.

“We talk about setting goals to be a better basketball player and we also talk about goals in life,” said Dempsey, who added each day has a five-minute spiritual lesson too.

Three Point Play Ministries operates out of Calhoun, Ga., and is in the midst of offering 10 straight weeks of camps around the region. Dempsey says he is able to offer the free camps because his ministry receives donations throughout the year to fund the effort.

His camps are not limited to Georgia and Tennessee.

“We did a free camp one year in Nicaragua,” said Dempsey. “They didn’t have much, just a concrete slab, so that’s what we worked with. They told me the goal probably wasn’t 10 feet high, but it was the best they could do. When I asked why it wasn’t 10 feet, they told me it was nailed to a tree and the tree had grown. It was probably 12 feet tall.”

Dempsey was a high school and middle school basketball coach for 22 years and says he’s been in coaching close to 40 years. He will have three college students and three high school students assisting him with the camp in McMinnville.

He says the camp is open to boys and girls ages 9 to 13, although that age range isn’t concrete if someone a little older or younger wants to participate.

“Kids learn a lot in four days and it’s all very organized,” said Dempsey. “The purpose is to teach fundamentals. There is no playing. Fundamentals are fundamentals.”

Dempsey said all participants will get a free T-shirt and poster. There’s also a drawing at the end of the camp to give one girl and one boy a free basketball.

To register, show up at the Civic Center on Tuesday, July 5 at 8 a.m. There is no pre-registration.

McMinnville swimmers made waves in their opening meet of the season in Sewanee, capturing first-place finishes in 13 events.

McMinnville was edged by the always-powerful Sewanee squad, but not without a valiant fight.

McMinnville swim team assistant coach Sarah Medley says she continues to see progress.

"Two things we were really working on during this meet were our dives and our flip turns," said

Medley. "We want to dive into the water strong and get a good start and we want to be smooth with our flip turns. We're doing much better with both of those things."

J.P. Toney was quick in the water as he claimed five firstplace finishes, one of which was on a medley relay team with Emily Davis, Emery Stefanick and Gracie Caten.

Toney also won individually in the 50-meter freestyle, the 25-meter backstroke, and the 25-meter butterfly.

It seems all a driver has to do to make the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase is to have an injury at the beginning of the year that forces them to sit out the first 9 or 10 races.

Then they get a waiver allowing them to make the Chase providing they win a race and finish in the top 30 in points after the first 26 regular-season races.

A waiver is needed because the Chase rules state you have to race in all 26 regular-season races.

Last year it was Kyle Busch who got the waiver and also went on to win the championship. This year it is Tony Stewart.

I thought Stewart could make his way into the top 30 of driver points, but I didn’t believe he would win a race. Stewart proved most of his skeptics wrong as he won last week’s race in Sonoma. He has been slowly inching his way toward the top 30 and now sits in 32nd place, only 9 points behind the 30th place.

This is Stewart’s last year as a driver in the NASCAR Cup series and he desperately wants to go out with a bang. He showed everybody how much he wants it in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.

Stewart raced in the middle of the field for the first 80 percent of the race and then short pitted for tires and fuel. One lap later, a caution occurred and everyone except Stewart pitted, giving Tony the lead. Martin Truex and Denny Hamlin kept battling each other hard, helping Stewart increase his lead.

With eight laps to go, Stewart's lead was close to two seconds over Hamlin, who finally made the pass for second on Truex.

With five laps five to go, Stewart's lead was down to less than a second. Hamlin finally caught and passed him going into Turn 7 on the final lap, and looked as if he was going to go on to score the win. But Hamlin came into the final hairpin turn too hot in his No. 11 Toyota, opening the door for Stewart to pass him back for the lead and the win.

Everyone knew Stewart was going to rough Hamlin up in order to pass for the lead and he did not disappoint.

“As good as he (Hamlin) was braking into 11 all day, I couldn't believe he missed the corner,” Stewart said.

“They said his wheel hopped it, but I was shocked the door was open like that.

You can't crack the door open with me on the last corner of the last lap and expect me to not take it. I'll kick the door in or drive a bulldozer through it to keep it open.”

It had been 111 total races and 84 races run by Stewart since his last win at Dover in June 2013. It was his 49th career Cup win.

So far this year there have been 11 different winners and with 10 more regular-season races to be run, there is a possibility that could affect Stewart’s chances to make the Chase field.

Gary Steele Karate Continued from page 1B Other offensive stars for Gary Steele included Jake Jones with two hits, and Jason Brewer, Kendall Patrick, Will Wrisner, and Joey Rasori with one hit apiece.

For Game Xchange, lead-off batter Kyle Johnson smashed a triple on his first trip to the plate in what would be the team’s lone hit. The rest of the offense was generated from nine walks and two hit batters.

It was tied 3-3 after two innings.

That’s when Gary Steele would pull away for good with a seven-run third inning.

Nate Newby started the rally with a walk that was followed by a Jake Jones double. After an error, Wrisner hit a double and Patrick drew a walk. After another error and walk, Brewer made sure the inning was a big one when he hit a triple. Brewer would score on an Austin Conner grounder to complete the seven-run inning.

Down 10-3, Game Xchange continued to play with spunk, but their bats were silenced by Kuykendall, who was just erratic enough to make hitters uneasy at the plate.

Gary Steele Karate went on to win 12-4 to claim the league title on Dottie West Field.

Members of Gary Steele Karate are pictured after winning the boys 12-14 tournament on Dottie West Field on Tuesday night. Team members are, front row, from left, Jason Brewer, Jake Jones, Nate Newby, Austin Connor, and Seth Paden.

Alex Jones is giddy as he trots around the bases after his home run.

Kyle Johnson pitched three innings for Game Xchange in the championship.

How lucky we are. I guess we have about the best league leaders you can have.

That's the main reason our league has little problems attracting new members.

All our officers are intelligent, personable people who enjoy interacting with others.

Colleen Eslick our president is a retired Interpreter for deaf students. A really neat person everyone enjoys being around.

First vice president Billy Pitmon is off on medical leave recuperating from a serious illness. He'll be back soon. He's one of the best.

Second vice president Mike McMurray is a semi-retired partner at Hutchins Auto.

He's friendly and always ready to do anything to help. Sergeant-at-arms Gene Wilcher is one of our favorites. So far we haven't needed his strong arm. Guess we're just afraid to try him.

Secretary/ treasurer that's my job. I just kinda ride the coattails of these great folks.

They all relate well with others and enjoy being a part of the Gold and Silver League. Friendly, great attitudes and personable. They are all willing to do whatever, whenever to make our league more enjoyable.

Sharing the Message of God’s Love and Grace

There are so many that hold the view that there are many churches and all of them are acceptable to God. In fact, because so many think this way many people have just decided it must be true. However, we cannot accept that if we are going to follow the teaching of the Bible. Denominations do not exist by the authority of Christ and there is not a syllable of Scripture that condones the division which they propagate and upon which they feed.

Who has the courage and integrity to inquire from the Scripture and see what it teaches? It is not uncommon that those who say “one church”, as does Scripture, are branded as narrow minded, bigoted self-righteous, hating others, and similar labels. However, had you not rather be right with God than pleasing to others? Man did not say it. God did. “There is one body” and the body is the church. What is difficult to understand about that?

We invite you to worship with us this Sunday at Central Church of Christ. You will find a warm and friendly welcome as we study God’s word together. Please contact the church office at 473-6537 for questions or comments, or online at http:// www.churchatcentral.org for other events and information.

ChurCh DireCtory Delighting in the Misfortune of Others

I

t is surprising that we don’t have an English word for taking pleasure in the failures or misfortunes of others, given how common the experience is. The Germans have a word for this, Schadenfreude, which literally means “harm joy,” and this experience can range from enjoying the spectacle of seeing someone being punished who really deserves it, to getting pleasure from seeing your least favorite team lose, to the less respectable experience of laughing when we see someone slip and fall. This is not one of humanity’s greatest attributes, but its universality suggests there might be some function that it serves. Perhaps it’s just a way to make us feel better, to feel that in comparison to those who we work and go to school with, we really are superior. After all, when I get an A and the guy behind me gets an F, this just reflects my superior intelligence and better efforts at studying.

And if the guy behind me didn’t study, didn’t he deserve to get an F? Perhaps the deeper meaning of this experience is that it points to our innate sense of justice. We want to see criminals punished and lazy students fail their exams. However, we shouldn’t take too much pleasure in the misfortunes of others, and should remember that compassion is the glue which holds society together. When people get their just desserts, it’s okay to smile a bit, on the inside of course, and not too enthusiastically.

4B Southern Standard, McMinnville, Tenn., Friday, July 1, 2016

Southern Girls win during their last bat Foust Construction was looking to cement an upset victory over Southern Girls at the Civic Center on Monday night.

It almost happened, but Southern Girls rallied for four runs in its final bat to secure a 10-9 win in girls 10-12-year-old fastpitch softball.

Foust Construction built a 9-6 lead heading into the final bat for

Southern Girls.

Southern Girls was able to score four runs off only one hit in its final bat. The rally started with four straight walks to Emma Young, Ebonie Ross, Abby Hodge, and Andrea Jefferson. After Zoie Connors smashed a single, Jordan Veech and Dallis Melton both walked to push the winning run across the plate, 10-9.

Moose Lodge wins big If Moose Lodge was looking to make a statement Tuesday night, that statement was the team can sure score runs.

Moose Lodge pounded out a 19-9 win over Morrison Industries in boys coach pitch baseball action at the Civic Center.

Moose Lodge jumped out to a 7-2 lead and never let off the throttle. If Morrison Industries entertained any hopes of a comeback, Moose Lodge added seven more runs in its

final bat to lock away the victory.

Cameron Glover led the way for Moose Lodge with four hits. Brady Norris and Andrew Key added three hits each. Tyler Woodlee, Jaxon Grissom, and Brady Norris connected for two hits apiece.

Three players collected four hits for Womack Printing, John Gillespie, Noel Davis and Kylan Jones. Corban Felton, Jr. Mares,

and Braxton Gibbs had three hits each.

Edward Jones was held scoreless in two of its four at-bats, which was a big difference in the game. Top batters for Edward Jones were Owen Fry, Barrett McGinness, Cameron Holder, Jordan Price, and Hayden Fults with two hits each.

Graves numbs Netherton Dentistry Graves Technology used its innovation to gain an 11-7 win over Netherton Dentistry in girls coach pitch softball at the Civic Center on Monday night.

The top three hitters did most of the damage for Graves Technology as they accounted for eight of the team’s 11 runs.

Netherton Dentistry had a big first inning with four runs, but wasn’t

able to drill the ball as well the rest of the game.

The top batters for Graves Technology with three hits each were Kerri Hullett, Brooke Wilson and Kira Franson, who had two triples.

For Netherton Dentistry, Hana Parsley, Lauren Hinshaw, Abigail Netherton and Haley Smith had three hits each. One of Smith’s hits was a home run.

Toney won the 100-meter freestyle relay.

Weber out, electrifying P.K. Subban in for Predators (AP) -- P.K. Subban is taking his talents to Smashville as part of a major trade of two of the NHL's top defensemen.

The Nashville Predators acquired Subban from the

Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday for captain Shea Weber, the face of their franchise for nearly a decade.

In Subban, the Predators got one of the most dynamic players in hockey, an

offensive-minded superstar with a larger-than-life personality. And the Predators also hope he can help them get over the hump and win the Stanley Cup. "I just feel good knowing

that a team has moved someone to bring me in because they want me," Subban said on a conference call.

"I'm just happy to be in a situation where I can excel

and feel good coming to the rink every day about myself, about the team, about my position. More importantly I just look forward to trying to win a Stanley Cup. That's your ultimate goal and I feel that I got a whole lot closer to doing that today."

Nashville and Montreal each feel that way after the straight-up deal that made the Edmonton Oilers' swap of Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils for Adam Larsson look like child's play. Subban and Weber are All-Stars and were teammates on Canada's 2014 Olympic gold medal team.

They are both defensemen, but Subban and Weber

play different styles. The 27-year-old Subban is risk and reward, with 63 goals and 215 assists in his 434 games, while Weber is the big, strong dependable defender with one of the heaviest shots around.

Marc Bergevin said trading Subban was "one of the most difficult decisions" he has had to make as Canadiens general manager.

Subban was not always the favorite of coach Michel Therrien and others in the organization despite his playmaking ability, but Bergevin said friction with teammates and the staff had nothing to do with the deal.

Picking the SEC The college football season is just around the corner, with several media days coming to conclusion this past Friday.

Every media source is picking either Alabama or Tennessee to win the SEC and they should because both of those teams are extremely talented from top to bottom.

Alabama has several returning starters on offense and defense, including Calvin Ridley, who took the SEC by storm last season at the receiver position, Jonathan Allen, who was an anchor on the defensive line a year ago and several other key contributors in the secondary and linebacker positions, Eddie Jackson and Rueben Foster and let’s not forget pass rushing specialist, Tim Williams, coming off the edge.

Bo Scarborough is a name many haven’t heard yet at the running back position.

Scarborough is 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds and will be a load this year in the backfield , replacing Derrick Henry.

The question for Alabama will be at quarterback though.

For the third year in a row, the Crimson Tide will have a new signal caller but it shouldn’t matter because they undoubtedly have the best defense in the nation and all they need is a quarterback who can control the clock and make smart plays.

The Vols have probably the best one-two punch in their backfield in Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara, coming off a 9-4 season a year ago but they will need to heavily rely on their quarterback Josh Dobbs and their defense. Jaylen Reeves-Maybin, who is in on seemingly every tackle and cornerback Cameron Sutton will be the leaders on defense and need to try not to give up the big play that has haunted them.

With that being said about the top two teams in the SEC, here are my top picks to finish in each division, along with records and who will meet and who will win the conference this season.

Volleyball team looks to continue improvement by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Led by second-year head coach Katie Rogers, the Warren County High School volleyball team is hard at work this summer, looking to improve on its 26-13 record last season.

In what was Rogers first season at the helm, the Lady Pioneers had a 21-win improvement from the year before.

The Lady Pioneers finished fourth in the season and in the district tournament. Last year was also the first time the Lady Pioneers had made it past the first round of the tournament in the past four years.

Coach Rogers had this to say on how the team is preparing for the season.

“We have been blessed here at WCHS with a brand new weight room, so we have been using it a lot to get stronger for this season. We have really just been working on conditioning right now but we will be getting our rotations and lineup together soon.”

The Lady Pioneers didn’t lose anyone from last season’s team and will be led by some familiar faces, including senior Lauren Hennessee, who is a four-year starter for the Lady Pioneers, and junior Bethany Fye, who is a third-year starter at middle blocker. Fye had over

300 kills last season and earned all-district honors, as well as all-tournament honors for District 6-AAA. Hennessee has the most varsity experience on the team.

Here is what Rogers has to say about her players.

SEC West: I think Alabama will win the West this season because it has too much talent on both sides of the ball. I think LSU will give them their best shot taking the top spot in the West.

Ole Miss will have a down year due to several defensive players going to the NFL and Arkansas will be close behind but this division is Alabama’s to lose. Alabama’s regular season record: 11-1 SEC East: I think Tennessee will win the division but it will take them nearly all season to clinch it. The Vols could easily lose Oct. 1 at Georgia, Oct. 15 at Texas A&M and Oct. 15 at home against Alabama and I do think they drop two of those games but they have a fairly easy schedule after those games. Georgia is no fluke under new head coach Kirby Smartt and Florida will remain powerful on the defensive side of the ball. Tennessee’s regular season record: 10-2 SEC Alabama

Golf teams putting in summer work

Seniors Lauren Hennessee: “Setters can be compared to the quarterback of a football team. Lauren is more of a quiet leader, but very encouraging to our younger players.”

Skyler Youngblood: “Skyler has a lot of power as our right-side hitter.

She is another great leader for our team and is very vocal and is always cheering her teammates on.”

Brooke Murphy: “Brooke is a very versatile player. She can hit from the left side, but is also very good defensively. This year, it is my hope she takes the defense under her wings. She can see the ball come off the block really well and isn’t afraid to dive on the floor.”

Abigail McKinley: “She has been hurt the past two years. We are glad to have her back and she will be back as a defensive player.”

Juniors Bethany Fye: “Bethany is becoming a great leader on the court. She is always vocal and cheers her team on from start to finish.”

Hope Mullican: “As another starting middle blocker, who received second team all-district MO* honors last season. /Hope is one of the most positive players on our team. She is starting become just 3032Eto COMPACT TRACTOR hp at the as much of 32 a engine threat net as Bethany.”

Kaylee Chisam: “Kaylee is looking to become a varsity starter this year as one of our left-side hitters. She can kill the ball if she gets a hold of it and is also one of our best servers on the team.”

Ali Wrisner: “Ali is a right-side hitter. She has gotten a lot stronger this summer in the weight room.”

The WCHS boys and girls golf teams have been hard at work this summer looking to improve their game. Led by head coach J.W. Holt, the Pioneers and the Lady Pioneers will both see some new faces this season and some familiar ones too.

Some of the key returning players on the boys side are, Bracton Womack, Jaeden Pyburn, Levi Craven and Nate Cantrell.

Peyton Haston comes in as a freshman for the Pioneer squad this season and Bunker Brock returns as a junior this season as he took a year off after his freshman year.

For the girls, they will need to replace some key leaders from a year ago, such as Saylem Powell and Brynn Craven. Valeria Vargas will look to lead the

Lady Pioneers and is a key returner.

The Lady Pioneers will also have a lot of senior leadership with Alli Mingle, Mia Grace Cantrell and Belle Ramsey.

Ireland Moore is the lone freshman coming over to the Lady Pioneers this season from WCMS. Coach Holt talked about what the team has being doing so far this summer to improve its game.

“Most of our kids play in the SNEDS and other tournaments over the summer and that really helps them improve, especially when it is time for the season to start. A lot of our kids are dedicated to improving their craft to get better.”

On what the obstacles for both teams this year will be, coach Holt has some insight on what to expect.

Covenant camp coaches basketball basics by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Kyle Robinson photos

Dallis Melton works on her dribbling skills during Covenant Academy’s basketball camp Friday afternoon. Melton was one of over 30 players to attend the camp this year.

Covenant Academy held its annual basketball camp last week and kids from all over Warren County came to participate from grades K-6. The camp was started 15 years ago by brothers Alan and Ryan Smith and has seen strong turnout over the years.

The camp averaged about 40-50 campers on Thursday and Friday.

The camp worked on several fundamentals of basketball including dribbling, defense, passing, pivoting and shooting.

Ryan Smith talked about the purpose of the camp and why he and his brother decided to start it.

“We are just trying to offer something as part of our basketball academy here at Covenant. We have our Saturday basketball, the camp in the summer, and our post camp that are all part of our basketball academy.”

Smith added, “We are just trying to offer several things in the summer. I know toward the end of

the summer when baseball and softball season are over, kids are kind of bored, so this camp is something we offer that not a lot of people do. We want the kids to learn how use good habits of the game and 10 years down the road, watch them succeed.”

Smith made it clear the camp is not a recruiting tool to lure athletes away from other schools. The purpose of the camp is to help the kids take their skills they learn and make their teams better.

“I’m afraid some people think this camp is a recruiting tool or we are just trying to make money but we only charge $20 and we are just here to help all of these kids who attend the camp improve each day of camp.”

Smith added, “It’s amazing how much their games improve in just three days of practice. We focus on the things that will help the kids go and make their teams better.”

The Smith brothers will also be holding a camp Monday-Thursday for grades 7-12 at Covenant Academy. Guard camp

Chase Newby goes up to block a shot during the Covenant Academy basketball camp Friday afternoon. will be from 1-4 p.m., while post camp will be from 3-6 p.m. The cost is $40 for each camp or if you want kids want to attend both together, it’s $60.

The guard camp will help players with advanced ball handling skills, the 13 things to become a more efficient player, the mental side of being a good point guard, classroom sessions that include film study and

off-season and in-season workouts to improve skills.

The post camp will help athletes improve their post moves, playing in the pick and roll, tips on how to become a great rebounder, increase scoring and rebounding averages, classroom sessions that include film study and off-season and in-season workouts to improve skills.

Fullback Caeleb King takes the handoff from quarterback Devin Jordan during Friday morning practice.

Pioneers hope to soar with wing-T offense by

JAMES CLARK

Editor for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

The wing-T offense has landed at Warren County High School.

That means the Pioneer football team will be utilizing a fullback, and two wingbacks in its base offensive set this season. Gone is the more traditional I-formation attack featuring a tailback lined up seven yards deep behind a fullback.

“This is a quick-hitting offense,” said WCHS head coach Tom Moore. “There are a lot of fakes, a lot of pulls, a lot of traps. I feel like the offensive line is going to

be a strength of this team and the running game is going to be a big part of our success.”

There was uncertainly swirling around the quarterback position last year as the Pioneers didn’t have a player on the roster who had taken a varsity snap. This year, junior Isaiah Grayson returns after starting all 10 regular-season games and the playoff game against Maryville.

“With Isaiah, his biggest asset is his legs,” said coach Moore. “He’s able to make plays and he’s real elusive.

We want to get him in space and get him into the secondary.”

Devin Jordan has been

getting reps as the Pioneers backup quarterback. He’s a sturdy runner who protects the ball and he’s a big guy for defenses to try and tackle.

Raleigh Woods was originally thought to be a nice fit at fullback because of his bruising running style, but he’s been moved to wingback where he can still dish out punishment. The move to wingback allows Woods to be utilized more as a blocker when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands.

Shifting Woods to wingback makes it an open competition for carries at fullback, according to coach Moore.

Consider it a heart transplant.

For those with even a passing knowledge of the Nashville Predators, Shea Weber was known as the heart of the team, the face of the franchise.

Shea was a home-grown prospect, drafted in front of the home fans at the 2003 NHL Draft held in Nashville.

He made his NHL debut on Jan. 6, 2006 against the Detroit Red Wings. On a personal note, that game was also one of the first games I took my then-girlfriend, now-wife, Ashley, to and she decided that new Weber guy would be her favorite hockey player. I told her not to get attached as he may not stay with the team long. She enjoys reminding me of that.

Shea went on to become the best player in Predators franchise history. An outstanding performer and leader who was named team captain in 2010, Shea was a perennial NHL All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist with Team Canada, and two-time winner of the NHL's hardest shot contest.

With all of these accolades, the trade on June 29 that sent Weber to Montreal for defenseman P.K. Subban shocked not only Nashville fans but the hockey world as a whole.

Widely regarded as one of the biggest trades in NHL history, reaction was strong from all sides.

Many Predator fans wondered how Predators general manager David Poile could rip out the heart of the team.

This was the player that Poile had repeatedly labled as untouchable. It would take a pretty hefty return for him to even consider that move.

Well, for reasons that are still puzzling to much of the Montreal Canadiens fan base and to the hockey world at large, Montreal was willing to offer that return. The Canadiens sent to Nashville one of the biggest superstars in all of hockey.

While Weber has often been a finalist for the NHL's Norris Trophy awarded to the league's best defenseman, Subban actually claimed that title in 2013. Subban is four years younger than Weber and much quicker on his skates. Subban fits much more seamlessly into Nashville coach Peter Laviolette's up-tempo system, a system in which Weber sometimes looked a little out of place. The Predators got an elite player entering his prime in exchange for an elite player showing signs of decline.

Possibly just as important, the Preds acquired a true superstar with a personality that transcends hockey and brings more attention from the hockey world to Nashville than the team has ever experienced. Just a brief stroll down Broadway last Sunday was enought to put the Predators in the spotlight all over the league.

So, yes, the Predators traded away their heart, but they just may have transplanted a younger and more dynamic heart that will bring excitement never before experienced by our local hockey team.

Trayton Rackley is in the mix in the Pioneer backfield at the fullback position.

Brendan Breedlove has been getting reps there and Moore sees him getting some carries, but Moore doesn’t want to overwork him because he’s so valuable on defense.

“Brendan is really playing great right now,” said Moore.

“But he’s primarily a defensive player at linebacker.

Trayton Rackley is another player we’ve been using at fullback, but he’s in the same situation. He plays outside linebacker so we don’t know how much we want to use him at fullback. Deandre Thomas and Shawn Woodlee are two guys we’re going to work in at fullback, but they’re both nursing injuries right now and we don’t know when they’re going to be back at full speed.”

Also competing for playing time at wingback are Noah Campbell, Jacob Rabideau, Tyree Ladet, and Josh Macanas. Coach Moore says Campbell has good hands and is the biggest receiving threat from that group. He says Ladet has “a

little shake and a little speed and we need guys like that with the ball.”

“There are a lot of guys I see touching the ball,” said Moore. “If you have one great back, the I-formation is an offense a lot of teams use.

We have a bunch of above-average guys and we can run to both sides of the line of scrimmage so I see us spreading it around with a lot of guys getting carries.”

Moore said the Pioneers are going to pass early and often in order to spread the field and prevent the defense from creeping up to the line of scrimmage to focus primarily on the run.

Warren County travels to Summit for a scrimmage this Friday at 6 p.m. The following week, the Pioneers have a scrimmage in Tullahoma.

Warren County will scrimmage White County the week before the season begins at Nunley Stadium.

The regular season opens on the road with a game against DeKalb County in Smithville.

After that opening game, the Pioneers will play their next four at home.

Brendan Breedlove gets reps at fullback Friday and is expected to see some carries this season despite extensive work at linebacker.

Carbide Crossfit causes Edward Jones stock to fall by

JAMES CLARK

Editor for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Brynlee Chisam takes a swing for Edward Jones during Thursday night softball action.

The last undefeated team has fallen in girls 7-9 softball at the Civic Center.

Carbide Crossfit blasted three home runs on the way to handing Edward Jones its first loss of the year, 13-11, on Thursday night at Pete Holt Field.

Abby Fann, Maddox Adams and Anniston Smith all homered to ignite the Carbide Crossfit attack.

Edward Jones entered the final game of the regular season unbeaten, but couldn’t get runners across the plate in key situations. Edward Jones looked poised for an explosive first inning, but Ruby Denning got back-toback outs at third base for Carbide Crossfit to end the threat.

In the fourth inning, Edward Jones loaded the bases with no outs only to watch Carbide Crossfit record two straight force outs at the plate. The Carbide Crossfit defense was also good at catching pop flies in the infield.

Edward Jones showed some flashy defense of its own, including a big double play by third baseman Maggie Whiles when she caught the ball in the air and then caught the runner straying off third.

But the difference in the game was the hitting of Carbide Crossfit. Abby Fann

Beating an undefeated team is cause for celebration.

Abby Fann, left, and Kierston Smith of Carbide Crossfit are happy as they leave the field Thursday night after beating Edward Jones. sent a blast to right field and was able to round all the bases for a home run in the third inning.

That was followed by a pair of two-run home runs in the fourth when Adams and Smith both sent the ball deep to the outfield.

Carbide Crossfit was up 13-7 entering the last bat for Edward Jones and managed

to hold on for the 13-11 win.

Adams and Briley Jones scored three runs each to lead Carbide Crossfit offensively.

Leah Jones, Anniston Smith and Fann scored two runs each.

For Edward Jones, Halle Lowe and Jerra Jones each scored three runs. Lily Rains and Kai Ann King scored twice.

P.K. Subban brings superstar presence to Smashville occurred. He used this quick trip to Nashville to meet general manager David Poile and some of the team’s employees. He has yet to sit down with coach Peter Laviolette and his assistants to find out what they want from him.

Subban ate lunch Monday with new teammates defenseman Ryan Ellis and center Mike Fisher and now has all his new teammates’ phone numbers.

Nashville’s new defenseman lacks Weber’s size at 6-foot and 210 pounds. But Subban has more points (202) than the 6-4, 236-pound Weber (180) over the past four seasons.

The Predators wanted to add Subban’s offensive skills to Laviolette’s scheme where defensemen are encouraged to join the attack offensively to better compete in the Central Division where they finished fourth.

The Predators lost to San Jose in the second round of the playoffs in seven games.

P.K. Subbban has wasted little time in embracing his new city as he made a splash upon his arrival in Nashville last week. The NHL All-Star and former Norris Trophy winner was acquired from Montreal in exchange for Predators captain Shea Weber in late June in a trade which rocked the hockey world.

team to win and win a championship. That’s what I’m here to do.”

The Predators and Canadiens stunned the NHL on June 29 with Montreal swapping Subban for Nashville’s captain and fellow All-Star defenseman Shea Weber. Nashville has been lauded for getting the better end of the deal with Subban having just turned 27 in May while Weber turns 31 in August. Montreal has been criticized for trading away both the 2013 Norris Trophy winner and fan favorite who pledged $10 million to a children’s hospital last year.

Subban said he had an amazing relationship with the Montreal fans but promised they will learn to love Weber as both a great hockey player and person as well.

“Obviously leaving Montreal is emotional for me,” Subban said. “I have a lot of relationships there, a lot of great ties and I’ll be connected to that city forever.

Now it’s time ... Christmas Day is over, it’s Boxing Day and it’s time to move on.”

NASHVILLE (AP) — P.K. Subban certainly knows how to make an entrance, especially with a team more than happy to help manage his arrival in Music City.

The Nashville Predators took their new All-Star defenseman on a whirlwind trip around town that featured Subban jumping on stage at a renowned honky-tonk to belt out Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.” Then the Predators introduced Subban to reporters and a few fans in their first chance to show off the man they picked up last month in Nashville’s big trade with Montreal.

Subban said the past few weeks since last month’s trade have been filled with mixed emotions.

“There’s no question that I’m head over heels excited about this opportunity to play here in Nashville,” Subban said. “I’m excited about our team. I’m excited about our city and I’m most importantly excited about the opportunity to win a Stanley Cup. That’s what this is all about. Coming here is not a popularity contest.

Buescher making a splash Chris Buescher, last year’s XFINITY Champion, won his first SPRINT Cup race last week.

The 2016 Rookie of the Year has essentially been a race between two drivers: Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney. With Buescher’s win at Pocono, he has thrown himself into the mix for ROY. Although Buescher is far behind in ROY points, NASCAR does not automatically award the ROY Championship to the rookie with the most points.

There is a five-member panel composed of the preceding year ’s Series Champion, officials, etc. that meet during the final week of the season. They evaluate that year’s candidates on the following criteria: 1. Conduct with officials 2. Conduct and awareness on the racetrack 3. Personal appearance and conduct with the media With a win under his belt, it remains to be seen how much weight it carries as the panel decides on a champion.

Pocono is a 2-1/2 mile track so cars can get stretched out with drivers just trying to be in the right position to contend for the victory. Threatening weather just before halfway marked the beginning of a spirited battle for the lead between Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon. The rest of the field also raced each other hard as the race approached lap 80 knowing NASCAR could end the race at any time after the halfway point.

Buescher was running a lap down most of the race but crew chief Bob Osborne made a gutsy decision during a caution on lap 107. Taking on a full load of fuel and four new tires, Buescher received the free pass and started 27th, back on the lead lap.

With 51 laps till the end of the race, and with the fuel window being 39 or 40 laps, everyone had to pit at least once more if the race was to go all the way to lap 160. As cars made greenflag pit stops, Buescher stayed on the track and found himself in the lead. Fog started rolling in and NASCAR had to throw the caution flag on lap 133, as NASCAR officials and spotters could not see more than half the track. The race was red flagged on lap 138, 22 laps short of the scheduled 160. When thunderstorms rolled into the area, NASCAR called the race officially over, and Buescher had his improbable victory.

“It’s a tough way to end the race for a lot of people,” Buescher admitted. “But it’s a great way for us.

When you win your first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, it doesn’t really matter much how you win.”

Samantha Jennings and Elia Atterson go for a ball during WCMS volleyball practice Tuesday. Jennings and Atterson will be some of the leaders this year for the volleyball team under new coach Heather Dragon.

The Warren County Middle School volleyball team is in some unfamiliar territory this season as it will be without head coach Farrah Griffith, who started the program at WCMS over 15 years ago. With Griffith going to White County, the Lady Pioneers will be led this season by head coach Heather Dragon and assistant coach Kelly Clayborne.

Clayborne talked about what the departure of Griffith means to her and the team going forward.

“I had been helping Farrah coach for 10 years and her loss will be greatly felt to the team. We see it every day in practice. Just her experience as a coach and a player, also all of the skills she had taught our players will be greatly missed to the entire coaching staff and team.”

Clayborne added, “Farrah has been a big help to me and coach Dragon as we transition to the team.”

Signed, sealed and delivered. Tuesday night saw the 9-11 baseball season come to an end with a battle between Southern Standard and Brent’s Computers to decide the city league champion.

Brent’s Computers made it to the championship game as it defeated Fully Loaded earlier in the night

Alec Johnson awaits a pitch during the championship game against Brent’s Computers on Tuesday night. Johnson went 2-for-2 with a walk and three RBIs in the Standard’s 21-6 victory.

and needed to beat the Standard twice to win the tournament.

It wasn’t happening.

The game wasn’t close as the Standard used a seven-run first inning and never looked back thanks to crushing hits up and down the lineup. The Standard won going away, 21-6.

Alec Johnson was the star at the plate for the Standard as he had three huge RBIs and was 2-for-2 with one walk. Brax Hopkins, Alex Casteneda and Matthew Colangione added two hits each, while Peyton Adams and Levi Jones added a hit apiece.

Colangione, as he had done the entire tournament, was nearly flawless on the mound as he went four strong innings, giving up six runs, striking out four batters, and not surrendering a walk.

In the loss, Brent’s Computers was led at the plate by T-Bone Adams, who was 2-for-2. Adams also suffered the loss on the mound.

In the top of the first, the Standard got on the board early when Castaneda hit an RBI double to the outfield scoring Hopkins, 1-0.

Colangione came up a batter later and hit Casteneda in from second, 2-0, and the Standard had its bats going as it was just getting started.

WCMS Volleyball Continued from page 1B The team will be returning several key starters this season, including eighth-graders Samantha Jennings, who will be very active at the net, Sadie Simmons, who will be the team’s main setter, and Elia Atterson.

The seventh-grade class is led by Mea Starkey, Marli McBride, Bella Cantrell, and Juju Pyburn. They will be a vital part of the team’s success.

The team has been hard at work this offseason and, according to Clayborne, there have been many things the team has worked on to better itself for the upcoming season.

“We had a three-day camp with some coaches that came to us from Nashville. We worked on the fundamentals, such as passing, setting, serving and team work. We have seemed to get better in all aspects of the game as the summer has gone along.”

The team has high expectations this season and Clayborne wants the community to come out and support the Lady Pioneers.

“It should be an interesting season. We need all of the support we can get.

Come out and watch us.”

KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennessee’s backcourt sustained two major losses, with Andraya Carter forgoing her final season of eligibility and Te’a Cooper out the entire season with a knee injury.

Carter issued a statement Wednesday saying she was ending her college career to recover from a series of injuries.

Lady Volunteers coach Holly Warlick said Cooper injured her left knee while playing basketball at home.

That leaves Tennessee with only nine healthy scholarship players.

Cooper made 15 starts as a freshman last season and averaged 8.6 points and 2.1 assists. She ranked

“It’s the card we’ve been dealt and we’ve got to go with it,” Warlick said. “The kids that we have, they’re solid. If we didn’t have the summer we’ve had, I’d be worried.

But we have put in the time, they’ve put in the effort and it shows. It really, really shows. I feel really confident in what our kids can do.”

Warlick said sophomore guard/forward Meme Jackson has undergone arthroscopic surgery on her left knee and is expected to be ready for the start of preseason practice.

They recovered down the stretch to reach a regional final for the fifth time in the last six years.

Recruiting troubles in the past year prevented the Lady Vols from upgrading their roster much since the end of the 2015-16 season. Their additions were freshman shot-blocking specialist Kamera Harris, Winthrop graduate transfer Schaquilla Nunn and ASA College transfer

Carter made 82 career starts at Tennessee and posted career averages of 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Last season, the 5-foot-9 guard made 25 starts and had 4.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists while averaging 26.2 minutes.

Carter underwent season-ending shoulder surgery during the 2012-13 season and was redshirted.

“After loving the game so much for so long, it is hard to imagine forgoing an opportunity to play for one more year,” Carter said. “Yet, the past four years have taken a toll on my body that I can no longer ignore. The injuries that I once effortlessly pushed aside and played through are beginning to catch up to me and have long-term effects.”

Warlick said Carter also had been dealing with a knee problem.

“We discussed only practicing twice a week or only playing in games, but anyone who knows me knows those options were unacceptable to me,” Carter said. “If I was going to continue playing basketball, I wanted to practice, condition, lift weights, be with my teammates and be able to work as hard as I could to get better every single day.”

Carter graduated in August 2015 with a degree in communication studies and will remain in school this year working toward her master ’s degree in sport psychology. Warlick called Carter “a great ambassador to this program.”

The Lady Vols open the 2016-17 season Nov. 11 at James Madison.

Sharing the Message of God’s Love and Grace

ChurCh DireCtory APOSTOLIC FAITH

H

umans are made for adventure. We all love a good adventure story, and if you are a student of history, you know that human beings have been seeking adventure from the dawn of history, and probably before, if the prehistoric cave paintings are any indication. What prompts one person to set off on foot over the range of mountains and another to fashion a boat or raft and set off across the ocean must be some sort of innate wanderlust. Whatever it is, we all have a hankering for adventure.

This can be satisfied in big or small ways.

Sometimes we set off on a path through the woods in our own backyard or decide to take our bicycle somewhere we’ve never been.

Other times we opt for the adventure vacation, perhaps hiking in a remote wilderness or exploring an unfamiliar city. Of course the notion of adventure is relative.

What one person considers wildly adventurous another may consider child’s play. In any case, we should all indulge our spirit of adventure—safely, of course. It’s not for nothing that the Bible is filled with great stories of adventure, from Noah’s ark to Paul’s shipwreck in the Mediterranean. God favors the bold.

First National cashes in

by

KYLE ROBINSON

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Hobie Stewart gets ready to throw a ball back into the infield during Newtown softball tournament action against Mud Bums on Wednesday night. Stewart and First National won the game thanks to a two-out single, 11-10.

In Newtown softball tournament action Wednesday night, First National Bank took on Mud Bums in a battle between top teams in the league.

First National jumped out to a five-run lead in the bottom of the first inning and had to use a final-inning comeback to win the game, 11-10, advancing it to the next round in the winner’s bracket.

Justin Stevens led the way at the plate for First National in the win as he went 3-for-4 at the plate with a single, double and a two-run home run.

Barry Taylor, Bubba Lee, Joey Laxson and Bryan Bouldin chipped in four hits, while Hobie Stewart and Jessica Roller added three hits apiece. It was Taylor who smacked the game-winning hit.

In the loss, Caleb Northcutt had three hits for Mud Bums to lead the

First National used a strong first inning, including Stewart’s solo home run in the leadoff position, to build a five-run lead, 6-1, after one.

After Mud Bums scored a run in the top half of the second, making it a fourrun ballgame, First National came up in the bottom of the inning and scored two thanks to Steven’s two-run bomb, to extend the lead, 8-2.

Neither team scored in the third inning, leaving the deficit the same heading into the fourth.

After each team exchanged runs in the fourth to keep it a four-run ballgame at the end of four, Mud Bums scored two runs in the top of the fifth and First National added a run in the bottom of the inning as the score remained close, 10-5, going into the final inning of play.

Hanging tough

'Curses' Pioneers push a part of Blackman to brink sports by

Taking the field by storm Friday night, the Warren County Pioneer football team mounted a first-strike scoring drive that silenced the Blackman crowd.

Booting an on-sides kick after Blackman’s Blaze chose to receive, the Pioneers recovered on the 47-yard line. Three first downs later, Pioneer Brandon Velazquez took the ball home for a TD and a 7-0 lead after the PAT was good.

Unfortunately, after Warren County held the lead for the first quarter, Blackman regained its composure and went on to win the contest 35-21.

Despite the scoreboard’s proclamation of an unfavorable outcome for Warren County, the team put forth a valiant effort against the Murfreesboro powerhouse, keeping it close until the final minutes.

“This was the best effort we’ve had all year,” said Warren County coach Tom Moore. “We played hard and

tried new things. Some worked and some didn’t. It was a winning effort. We didn’t have a good showing last week against Siegel and we wanted to put our best effort forward tonight.”

The Pioneers kept things tight on both sides of the ball, as they held Blackman leading rusher Master Teague – who averages over 300 yards a game – to 127 yards. Teague was still Blackman’s leading scorer with three TDs. Warren County kept Blackman scoreless for the entire first quarter, hanging on to the 7-0 lead by forcing the Blaze to go three-and-out on their first possession.

Pioneer Trevor Collins intercepted Blackman QB Conner Mitchell’s pass to end their second possession.

Early in the second quarter, Teague showed why he has a high average by taking the pigskin 80 yards for a touchdown. The Pioneers had to punt after getting another first down and Mitchell made short work of the 22 yards left after blocking a Pioneer punt.

Writing a story about Warren County native Lester Strode, now bullpen coach for the Chicago Cubs playing in the World Series, I found out about one reason folks claim the Cubs haven’t made it this far for 71 years … the Billy Goat Curse.

According to the curse, in 1945 a local fan William “Billy Goat” Sianis brought his pet goat Murphy to the game for luck. The owner, P.K. Wrigley, refused to admit the goat and when asked why, he said the goat stinks.

Long story short, Sianis said the Cubs wouldn’t win anymore. The Cubs lost and Sianis sent a telegram, “Who stinks now?”

Other baseball teams have similar stories, albeit not stinky, goat-related. The Red Sox had the Curse of the Bambino after they sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The Red Sox wouldn’t win a World Series until 2004, coming back from a three-game deficit.

Lest anyone think baseball fans are superstitious zealots, the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs ice hockey teams all have historically documented curses.

Football too has its share.

How about the Madden Curse where initially the Madden football games featured his face, then subsequently a prominent NFL player after which the player featured succumbed to injury.

The city of Philadelphia had the Curse of Billy Penn to attribute failures of teams like the 76ers, Eagles, and Flyers.

This one was laid on after someone built a taller building than the height of the William Penn Statue atop city hall.

I buy into the curse phenomenon like I believe psychics see the spirts of relatives still hanging around ... I don’t.

I mean would you hang around here any longer than you have to? What with the depleting ozone layer, terrorists threatening at every turn, and the choice between Trump or Clinton in November’s election, you can ensure the swift departure of pretty much everyone.

Statistically speaking, hospitals should be the most haunted places in the world.

I think that’s what it boils down to ... statistics. Take the quote by Greg Easterbrook as an example: “Torture numbers, and they’ll confess to anything.”

There was a 2011 study that found statisticians can prove almost anything. The journal Psychological Science, report claims to show “how unacceptably easy it is to accumulate (and report) statistically significant evidence for a false hypothesis.”

More basically, “Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.”

I tend to follow my grandmother’s advice. “Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.”

Statistically speaking.

WCMS Pioneers declaw Bobcats by

STEVE WARNER

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

Steve Warner photo

Warren County Middle School’s C.J. Taylor, left, works around Tullahoma West defender Dakota Wagner during the WCMS 7-8 grade season opener Thursday night.

Tullahoma West didn’t know what hit them, but it had Warren County tags as the WCMS Pioneers handed the thunderstruck Bobcats a 49-21 season-opening loss Thursday.

Playing host to the Bobcats, the Warren County Middle School boys struck fast and on both sides of the court. The Pioneers went on a scoring spree after Dante Elam hit one from the foul line and Chase Simerly sank a 3-pointer.

West was trailing 22-5 at the half. West’s total scoring in the first half consisted of only one basket and three foul shots, proving the Pioneer defense was as effective as the offense.

Pioneer Kaden Jordan grabbed many rebounds, helping the two C.J.’s, Taylor and Anthony, with the opportunity to both score double-digits, 12 and 11 points respectively. Warren County Middle School presented a total package that left little to be desired.

“It’s just one win,” said Warren County Middle School coach Isaiah Phillips.

“We still have a lot of work to do. They played hard and smarter.”

Warren County did indeed play a well-orchestrated offense by using the screen to get inside all night.

Finally, a third-quarter surge by the Pioneers took away any chance the Bobcats had at closing in as they scored 20 points compared to West’s 7.

Also scoring for the Pioneers were Jordan with 8 points, Simerly had 7, Dante Elam scored 5 points, Aiden Grissom 3, Aiden Cummings 2, and Colten Krech scored 1 point.

In earlier JV action, the Warren County Middle School JV boys team defeated Tullahoma West in a close matchup 33-27.

Scoring for the Pioneers were Eli Kuykendall with 9 points, Chance Hunter had 7, Trevor Wannamaker scored 6 points, Hudson O’Connor with 5, Layne Roberts with 3 points, Christian Rogers scored 2 points and Kaden Rutledge scored 1 point.

Warren County Middle School goes on the road Tuesday, Nov. 1, to Franklin County North. Game time is 6 p.m.

WCMS girls fall to Lady Bobcats in opener STEVE WARNER

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

The Warren County Middle School Lady Pioneers played host to the Tullahoma West Lady Bobcats Thursday, dropping their season opener, 44-23.

An affinity for taking and making the 3-pointer was just one of the challenges the Lady Bobcats presented. West made eight 3-pointers during the contest, five by Charleigh Scott alone, and was deadly accurate in its fast and furious offense

and defense. By moving the ball into position quickly, the Lady Bobcats had open lanes to shoot from.

Adding to Warren County Middle School’s woes was an inability to convert fouls into points.

The Lady Pioneers only hit 6-for-23 from the line.

“We’ll continue to get better,” said Warren County Middle School Lady Pioneer coach Isaiah Phillips. “There’s always room for improvement.”

Scoring for Warren County Middle School were Nautica Brown with 16 points, Madalyn

Titans optimistic after reaching 4-4 mark NASHVILLE (AP) — Having a .500 record midway through the season might not seem like a big deal to most teams, but it’s a major step forward for the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans (4-4) already have exceeded their win total from each of the las two seasons after rolling to a 36-22 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night.

The

Titans finished 3-13 last year and 2-14 in 2014.

“I think it shows that this team’s going in the right direction,” Titan coach Mike Mularkey said Friday. “We’re doing

some good things. Last night’s probably the first time I can honestly say we had all three phases play well, well enough to win. The results showed it.”

While many students have the senior year task of pursuing entry into a college of their choosing, standout athlete K’Rojhn

They’re your dreams.

Start building them.

Calbert has schools pursuing him for a football scholarship.

Standing out in more ways than one, this 6-foot6, 290-pound senior can seem intimidating at first – a plus on the gridiron – but once you talk to him, you find out he’s a self-effacing, modest athlete who is genuinely humble about his thrust into the spotlight of college recruitment.

Just this week, Calbert got a phone call from the college of all colleges in Tennessee to be part of his self-confessed dream team, the University of Tennessee.

“That’s the one I wanted

so badly,” Calbert said. “I worked my butt off going to camps on the weekend.

God’s given me this opportunity and I feel blessed.”

Calbert said he got the call unexpectedly while relaxing at home.

“I was watching a movie and Butch (Jones head football coach at UT) called and asked me what I run the 40 in,” said Calbert. “I told him and his only caveat was that I work on bringing it down and I said sure I would. Butch said that they love me and care about me and want me to be part of the Volunteers program. I was on cloud 9. It meant a lot.

There’s a lot of great talent here in McMinnville, again I feel blessed just to have this opportunity and McMinnville will always be my home and in my heart.”

Calbert has been made offers by 12 schools altogether, which definitely gives the dedicated athlete much to think about. This weekend he is scheduled to visit South Carolina University. Other offers came from Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Memphis, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, USF, and Georgia, according to 247Sports.

"The Duke," made by Wilson, is the official football of the NFL.

Steve Warner photo

Pioneer Deandre Thomas was Warren County’s short-yardage weapon as he scored a touchdown during Friday’s contest in Murfreesboro.

WCHS football Continued from page 1B A three-and-out by Warren County allowed the Blaze to score yet again before the half, leaving a 21-7 deficit to overcome at intermission.

Coming back from the break, Warren County QB Isaiah Grayson took to the air and completed four passes eating up 61 yards and adding a score to Trevor Collins, bringing the game to a more manageable 21-14.

Just when things were looking up for the Pioneers after Brendan Breedlove scooped up a Blaze fumble, Warren County couldn’t capitalize and Teague struck again, 28-14.

But the Pioneers weren’t done by a long shot, as a run-pass option drive led Warren County’s Deandre Thomas into the end zone for 6 more and a good PAT had the diehard Pioneer fans ever hopeful for a win now that it was a one-score game

again, 28-21.

In the end, it was the clock and not the effort which put an end to a Pioneer victory as miscues during a fourth-down situation led to a delay of game and with no timeouts remaining, Grayson’s last throw ended up a pick-six for the Blaze.

The Pioneers now travel to Hardin Valley on Friday, Nov. 4, for the first round of the playoffs. Game time is 7 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. CST.

Tee up some football facts by

STEVE WARNER

Sports Reporter for the Southern Standard (McMinnville, Tennessee)

A football or “pigskin” is a fairly familiar sight to fans and non-fans alike.

In the United States, footballs are oblong, whereas in England it would be round. It might interest you to know, until the invention of vulcanized rubber in 1844 by Charles Goodyear, footballs everywhere were round shaped as they were actually the bladder of an animal, such as a swine “or pig” and inflated. It then became customary to put some kind of covering over the animal bladder.

Today, footballs are made with cowhide and the inside is vulcanized

rubber. That makes the ball, and game, a little easier to embrace. There are still differences in footballs, mostly in size. The official NFL football is made by Wilson and is called “the Duke.” There are different versions with team logos or commemorative ones, but they have to be an official size, weight and inflation for an NFL game … remember Deflategate?

Here’s the rundown on some other size footballs and who uses them: Size 8 - Youth Ages 12 14 Size 7 - Junior Ages 10 - 12 Size 6 - Pee-Wee Ages 6 -9 Size 5 - Mini Miniature football best for small kids
