Dust off your dancing shoes andget ready to dance as preparationsare underway for the second annualTown soirée.

The Year of the Horse AdultDance (A Chinese New YearCelebration) takes place from 7p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8, inthe Farragut High School Com-mons.

“It’s basically around the ChineseNew Year, and every year it’s a dif-ferent year of the animal,” ChelseyRiemann, Town public relations

coordinator, said. “So last year itwas the ‘Year of the Snake,’ and thisyear is the ‘Year of the Horse.’”

The event is unique for the Townbecause it’s an adults-only occa-sion.

“It’s just a way for [the Town] toreach another segment of the popu-lation in our community that wemaybe haven’t done before,”Riemann said.

“Maybe older people that don’thave younger children, this wouldprovide them a community event toattend, whereas they may not

Town to offer Income Tax preparation help ■ TAMMY CHEEK

[email protected]

Farragut taxpayers can get free helpwith filing their Income Tax returns thistax season in Farragut Town Hall.

Once again, the Town has partneredwith the Internal Revenue Service to offerthe Volunteer Income Tax Assistance serv-ice from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Fridays, Feb. 7through April 11. Charles Dudney, theVITA site coordinator, recommends tax-

payers should arrive before 2 p.m.“We have it every year,” Chelsey

Riemann, Town pubic relations coordina-tor, said. “We’ve done it for many years. It’sdefinitely a regular part of what we offer.

“Folks don’t have to have an appoint-ment,” Riemann added. “They can justcome in.”

She explained the IRS provides the serv-ice while the Town offers the space.

The IRS Vita Grant program is paid forby the U.S. Congress and initiated by the

IRS with grants available to 501c(3)organizations, Dudney said, adding theIRS provides training, certification, com-puters, paper and software while volun-teers provide the time needed to do thework.

A resident of Village Green subdivision,Dudney was trained and certified by theIRS earlier in December for the comingtax season. He has been a VITA site coor-dinator for 10 years and is the third coor-dinator for Farragut.

“I think this site has been around sincethe early 1990s,” he noted. “Some of thevolunteers have been in VITA longer thanme.” He expects there will be five otherVITA volunteers preparing tax returns inFarragut.

Dudney said the VITA service is targetedto the working poor and the elderly.

“Taxpayers who run businesses musthave expenses less than $10,000 per year,”

Farragutsenior winsKMA Bestin Show

■ ALAN [email protected]

Grace Khalsa developed a vivid imagina-tion as a small child, which found expressionthrough a love of art dating back to age 2.

An only child living with her “single moth-er” in a cabin surrounded by woods inTownsend, Khalsa said she grew up “prettyfar from neighbors. It was kind of hard for meto have friends over.”

As a result, “I had to make my own fun, soI was very imaginative,” added Khalsa, now aFarragut High School senior whose ceramicwork, Trompe-l’oiel Shoe, won Best In ShowHigh School during recent 32-county EastTennessee Regional Student Art Exhibitionin Knoxville Museum of Art.

“I know mom still has finger paintingsfrom when I was 2 years old.”

Her winning boot, an assignment inWendie Love’s ceramics class, required “atechnique called trompe-l’oiel, which basi-cally means to fool the eye,” Khalsa said. “SoI had to chose a shoe, and I actually chosethese boots that I have on right now.

“I chose the boot basically because I want-ed to show the wear and tear of an objectthat may hold memories,” she added. “I justloved the idea that it had all these memoriesand it kind of showed on the appearance ofthe boot.”

Khalsa, 17, said Love chose to enter herboot in the KMA exhibition. “I didn’t reallythink anything of it. … She actually didn’ttell me I had won, she wanted it to be a sur-prise. So I walked into the actual awards cer-emony not knowing anything.”

Winning Best In Show “was a very big sur-prise,” Khalsa added.

Rosalind Martin, KMA curator of educa-tion for K-12 programs, said Khalsa’s boot“absolutely was a standout piece, the textureof it. Has the look and feel of leather. It waswell crafted. She did an outstanding job,along with her teacher Wendie Love.”

Also praising FHS art teacher MarthaRobbins, “They have some outstandingteachers who give students the opportunityto express themselves,” Martin said.

Madison Brown, also a Love student inceramics, earned Best Ceramic High Schoolfor her blue teapot.

Martin praised Brown’s teapot for it’s“glaze.”

Looking ahead, “I haven’t been acceptedyet, but I’d like to go either to the Universityof Michigan or The School of the Art Institute

District 5’sCarson

reflects onMcIntyre


Of the seven principals in KarenCarson’s Board of Education District 5,which includes all four Farragut schools,the call to renew Dr. Jim McIntyre Jr.’scontract to remain as Knox County Schoolssuperintendent featured “overwhelmingsupport.”

However, lines of communication fromKCS down to its rank and file, teachers,come into question among many District 5teachers, added Carson, who althoughechoing some of those communicationconcerns gave her vote to renew (8-1 infavor).

Evaluations are the biggest sore spot forDistrict 5 teachers according to Carson.

“Overall I’m very satisfied with his per-formance. When I look at student achieve-ment, direction, strategy, use of fiscalresources, I’m pleased with all of that,”Carson said of McIntyre, now serving in hissixth school year with KCS.

While acknowledging that McIntyre hasheld forums at schools throughout thecounty inviting teachers to speak out “fortwo years straight,” Carson added, “I don’tthink we’ve established, as a school sys-tem, a good mechanism of creating oppor-tunities for there to be true sharing ofideas and concerns.”

Moreover, “For a number of years teach-ers have not shared their concerns direct-ly … because they were afraid of retalia-tion or retribution,” said Carson, who alsorepresents Blue Grass and A.L. Lotts ele-mentary school plus West Valley Middle.

As a result, a new “teacher advisorycouncil” is taking shape with a preliminarygroup, which is set to meet in earlyJanuary, of “about 15 teachers and twoprincipals, myself and Lynne Fugate[school board chair] and Knox CountyEducation Association president TanyaCoats,” McIntyre said. The goal is creatinga council from which teachers can passalong complaints and ideas in monthlymeetings.

“Meet with the same group of teachersevery month so they have an opportunity todevelop trust,” Carson said.

While saying he’s strongly in favor of thenew advisory council, McIntyre added, “Ithink during the six years I have been herewe’ve really tried in a variety of ways tocreate opportunities for teachers and staff

and other stakeholders to give usfeedback and input.” McIntyrepointed out “teacher talk meet-ings, which are sort of thesemini-teacher town hall meet-ings. … I’ve had conversationswith small groups of teachers onvarious issues.”

Still, “The message that I oftenhear in the upper administrationof central office and the messagethat eventually makes it to theteachers is often very different,”Carson said.

For example, “There’s a rubricwith 12 broad areas when ateacher is evaluated, and inthose 12 areas are a number ofother little points totaling up to61 that area descriptive on howto achieve the 12,” she said. “ButI constantly here from the peo-ple who have established howthis evaluation works, you don’thave to hit all 61.

“But when I talk to teachers,they very much feel like to get afour or five [evaluation rating]they have to” hit all 61 points,Carson added about meetings“with teachers in my groups atFarragut.”

McIntyre acknowledged,“We’re a large organization. Wehave 4,000 teachers and 8,000employees. … I think that’s anongoing challenge. … We’regoing to focus a lot on that in thecoming weeks and months.”

Carson said she also hearsfrom many District 5 teachersduring monthly meetings who“strongly object for student out-come to be a part of their evalu-ation. … That is what I hearabout the most.”

While Carson said studentevaluation should be “moredirectly related to what theyteach” versus state mandatedtesting, “I do believe that yourstudent outcomes should be apart” of evaluations.

Dudney said. “We also turn awaytaxpayers with excessively com-plex returns.

“Most returns we do can beprepared in 30 minutes or less,”he said. “The biggest benefit weprovide to taxpayers is knowl-edge of what can and cannot bededucted and what is required.”

Dudney advises all taxpayersshould bring a photo ID and taxdocuments — W-2s, 1099s,Social Security earnings andother forms.

“If we did not do their returnlast year, they must also bring aSocial Security card or a letterfrom the Social SecurityAdministration,” he said.

Though the adults-only eventbegan last year, it’s alreadyundergone a change.

Last year it was known as the“Year of the Snake BallroomDance.” Now the event does notfocus on ballroom dancing.

Also another aim of thechange was to perhaps attract alarger crowd to the event, shesaid.

Tickets go on sale Monday,Jan. 6. Advance tickets are $6per person. Door price is $10 perperson.

The event will have refresh-ments and dancing, she said.

The Chillbillies, a local band,will provide live music.

Don Taylor, saxophone andflute player with The Chillbillies,describes the ensembel as an“all-purpose” band.

“We do all kinds, various stylesof music from country to rock ‘n’roll, Southern rock, rhythm andblues, gospel. ... We’re versatile,a very versatile band,” Taylorsaid.

The band has six full-timemembers, and is fronted by KnoxCounty Juvenile Court JudgeTim Irwin.

“It’s always an enjoyable timeto perform at parties and watchpeople have a good time andentertain,” Taylor said.

Riemann added, “If you enjoydancing and have a date, to justgo ahead and bring them on toour dance and enjoy,” she said.“It’s an inexpensive event that’sput on well, and we think thatpeople will enjoy it if they come.”

Looking at a new year, Iam struck that we havealready consumed 13 per-cent of the 21st Century!Most everyone has a smartphone by now; even I finallygot one last week. I hearincreasingly that as a nationwe will be predominatelypeople of color within a fewdecades and I am remindedthat the only constant in theuniverse is change. As oneg r e a tl e a d e rs a i d ,“ W h e nyou arethroughchanging… you’rethrough!”

R u d yGiuliani,f o r m e rmayor ofNew YorkCity, whoknows al i t t l eabout such things recentlyopined, “A city which is notconstantly reinventing itselfdeclines.” As I look at thephenomenal success that isTurkey Creek and the wind-fall it has been to the Town,I recognize that no onecould have foreseen it andmuch of it happened in spiteof us.

Now consider the Town’smuch-celebrated recentranking as 5th-Best place tolive in Tennessee (Knoxvilleranked 50th.). While this isremarkable, especially con-sidering the Town’s youngage, it is also true thatnobody much celebratesfifth place at the Olympics,or at NASCAR. It is axiomat-ic that that which is meas-ured improves, but it is alsotrue that comparison is thethief of joy. I believe we areat our best when we strive tobe the best we can be, not tobe better than a competitor.

I have stated before inthese pages my belief thatFarragut’s success comeslargely because our govern-ment governs so little.Jefferson said, “That govern-ment governs best whichgoverns least.” One of my

custom home clients fromChicago told me he paid$24,000/year in PropertyTaxes for a home like manyhere in Farragut. I also haveheard that the averagehomeowner in New Jerseypays over $16,000 per yearfor the privilege of owning ahome in that state. This inaddition to a morass of state,county and city incometaxes! And in spite of con-suming vast portions of theircitizens’ resources many ofthese governments arebankrupt.

Farragut should applauditself that this year we resis-ted the temptation to add toour coffers short-term bygratuitously taxing thehotel/motel industry, whichhas chosen Farragut to buildmany fine new accommoda-tions. These bring some ofthe 60,000 or so vehiclestraveling daily through Townon I-40/75 to dine and shopwith us and leave their taxdollars here.

“I have a love of animals, and alove of science, chemistry andbiology,” said Brinkman, 17, whohas earned a 4.2-weighted gradepoint average while planning toattend The University ofTennessee, Knoxville.

As an eighth-grader at WestValley Middle School, Brinkmancompleted “an elementaryinternship” in UT’s VeterinarianCollege.

“That helped me realized myfuture and what I wanted acareer in,” she added.

Because of her success while atFHS, “I’ve been accepted into theCollege of Agriculture for a pre-veterinarian medicine and ani-mal science major,” Brinkmansaid.

Starting in September atVillage Vet, “I started coming onTuesday’s during my fourth-block

period,” which became “Mondaysand Tuesdays during my fourth-block period,” Brinkman said.

“At first I got to learn thebehind-the-scenes of veterinari-an medicine,” she added. “Ilearned lab work, research andthe processing for lab work. …Wellness appointments and I’vesat in on surgeries with other vet-erinarians here.”

In addition, “Learning the symp-toms and how to diagnose and howto treat,” Brinkman said. “… Thediagnosis can be from a small rashall the way to cancer, lymphoma.I’ve learned a large range of differ-ent diagnosis and symptoms andhow a single symptom can lead toa larger diagnosis.

Shauna Miller performs on the balance beam during Music CityInvitational, Saturday, Nov. 23, in Franklin.


A serious gymnast, a relentlessworker who’s also a perfectionist,faces a grueling task to succeed.

Miller said she’ll put in “22 to24” hours of gymnastics a week,six days a week. “She’s been doingthat quite a few years,” Millsapssaid.

States from her native Romania in1987.

“She has natural ability, but itdoesn’t matter as much about that

On a serious note about CoolSports, “The hospitality’s beenamazing,” Hamilton said about CSstaff and other locals, adding itsvital “to have a rink to go to to beable to put the show together a daybefore the show.

“All the skaters have been work-ing on their individual programsfor weeks, but we have groupthings that we need to choreo-graph,” he added. “We need to geteverybody into the show atmos-phere, and the rehearsal is realimportant.

“The ice is great and the [CoolSports] staff has been phenome-nal. It’s been a perfect place for us.Everyone’s nice.”

With show proceeds benefitingProvision Healthcare Foundation,which will include a proton thera-py center to fight cancer, and ScottHamilton Cares Foundation,Provision also received a $1,500check presented by Nadia Kogeler,Cool Sports general manager, andNikki Copeland-Ronayne, CSdirector of figure skating.

The donation “is from ourskaters, our guests, a lot of friendsand family as well as Cool Sports,”Kogeler said.

About Hamilton and all theOlympic and U.S. champion talenton hand, Kogeler said, “We’re prettyexcited about it for sure. We’ve neverhad this much talent at one time.

“This is incredible, not just forCool Sports but for Knoxville as awhole,” she added.

ipate in Disney’s Youth EducationSeries Program.

“With Disney, you get behind-the-scenes access to their attrac-tions,” Amber said.

Specific areas of focus for HVAthis fall (Oct. 18-20) were YES’sEnergy and Waves and Propertiesof Motion programs in the MagicKingdom plus “a BiologicalCareers class in the AnimalKingdom,” Amber said aboutthree 3-hour classes over threedays.

For example, going on theSpace Mountain ride in MagicKingdom before the park opens tothe public, students must figure“how fast are you going; what’s theheight of the first hill?” Ambersaid. “What’s the largest drop?”

Also, the same ride is performed“with the lights on, and then we do itwith the lights off,” Michael said. “Sothey see how by just turning thelights off, everything seems biggerand faster and more exciting.”

Also, “We get to actually go underthe Haunted Mansion and see howthe Ballroom Scene works out,”Amber said. “… We talk about thedifferent ways light reflects offthings” to create illusions.

James Desjardins, a freshman inMichael’s physics class, said helearned “how perception changes.Like when I was on Space Mountainthe first time going through, I couldtell about how tall everything wasand how fast I was going.

“But once all the lights wentout, and you couldn’t really seemile markers … and see whereeverything was, everythingseemed to be much bigger andfaster,” Desjardins added.

“And then we learned aboutscrim material, it’s a really coolmaterial where you could havesomething behind it and youcouldn’t see through it. And thenif you put a light behind it, it willallow you to see what’s behind it.”

Using this effect on HauntedMansion Ride, “It created a reallycool illusion,” Desjardins said.

“But he was just so committedto what he did,” Young added.“There was so much joy in his life,and he was so happy with who hewas and what he has to do.

“Most people would consider hiscircumstances pretty toughbecause he didn’t have everythingthat he might have wanted. But hewas so content with that.”

Almost four years after leavingFMS, “I still go over and help himin the summers and stuff, floor pol-ishing, vacuuming,” Young said.

“We’re buds.” Elizabeth Blankenship, FHS

teacher and SGA sponsor whoseassociation with Young has been cen-tered on SGA, said Young is “an out-standing, kind, generous, thoughtfulyoung man that any parent would beso lucky to have as a child. It’s likeworking with another adult. In fact,one of the finest adults to work with.He is able to put himself out thereand he is so well spoken.”

Winning the state award “was sur-prising,” Young said. “It’s an hum-bling award to get. To think it wasstatewide level, that was exciting. Ihad never won an award at that

level. “There’s a lot of lot of hard work

that goes into the applicationprocess,” Young added. “It’s a1,000-word essay that I spent a lotof time on in the interview process.I prepared a lot for it.”

Looking to shower more credit,“First I’d have to say my parents,”Young said about Cheryl and PeterYoung. “Definitely, there’s so manyteachers as well that helped mefigure out the kind of things Iwanted to write in the essay.

In January I like to take a peekback to see if there is anything Iwanted to do last year, but didn’t.One such activity has been show-ing up onmy wishlist for toolong. It’sbeen car-ried overfor, oh no,can it be?Fifty years!No, howcan thatbe? Wellit’s true,there issomethingI’ve want-ed to doand haven’t for the last fifty years!Today I’m “happily” crossing it offmy “want to do” list, not because Idid it, but because now I don’twant to. With just a little thoughtI got to the bottom of why it’s beensuch a perennial desire. ADVER-TISING!

I have always wanted to spend aweek at a dude ranch. I was 15years old when I first read anadvertisement in SunsetMagazine about a dude ranch inColorado. It showed the bunkhouse we’d sleep in, a corral ofbeautiful horses all saddled upand ready to ride, a long picnictable with a red and white check-ered tablecloth laden with deli-cious foods, a quiet lake to thinkby and fish in, friendly people totalk, laugh and work with. Work?Yes we’d GET to work on theranch too! ADVERTISING madeworking sound fun!

I’ve always loved horses and thethought of riding every day was mydream. I haven’t ridden a horse in25 years. (Come to think of it,that’s around the last time I coulddo the splits.) I still love the smellof horses, but I really have nodesire to ride one any longer. Iwonder if you can go to a duderanch just to smell the horses and

eat?Anyway it got me to thinking

about advertising agencies andwhat they could do to entice con-sumers to want to spend a week ina three bedroom ranch, ratherthan a dude ranch.

if your work ethic is not good.” Though Miller, 17, does all four

events — vault, bars, beam andfloor — her specialties are “barsand vault,” Millsaps said.

Gymnastics started for Miller“around age 4,” she said.

While in “the fifth or sixthgrade,” Miller said she had to con-quer a gymnastics demon.

“Fear comes into play. You getscared to do a skill. I did not wantto go back to the gym because Iwas too scared to do a flyaway offof the bars,” Miller said.

Her coaches “helped me get overthat mental block by doing drills.”

That’s one example of howMillsaps and the other Tataru’scoaches “have built me up to be areally good gymnast.”

Overall, “It takes a lot of dedica-tion. You have to really want to dogymnastics,” Miller added. “Youhave to sacrifice a lot of things.But in the end it’s worth it.”

Upon moving to Knox County in2005, Miller said she “had to giveup soccer and dance“ to concen-trate on gymnastics.

Miller said she chose Missouri“because it felt like a secondhome” upon visiting this past sum-mer. “Really comforting. I love thewhole campus and all the girlsthere.”

One good thing was some bal-

Even in defeat, Beardenhead coach Mark Blevins wasencouraged.

“In their 10 years, I thinkthey’ve made the state tourna-ment six or seven times. They’re agood team,” Blevins said. “Murf-reesboro is the one city that has achance to beat Memphis [in thestate tournament]. The rest of ushave to claw and scratch.

“We went down and scrimmagedthem and they beat us by 40.Tonight, they beat us by about 20.Every week, we’ve gotten better.”

Defense rules in LadyHawks’ wins


Holding Southside (Alabama)scoreless in the third quarter,while allowing just six fourthquarter points, helped sendJennifer Galloway’s Hardin ValleyAcademy basketball girls out on ahigh note to end 2013.

Crushing rival Karns one daybefore during Pilot Winter ClassicInvitational — also allowing justsix second half points — the LadyHawks finished 2-1 at KnoxvilleCatholic in the six-team classicThursday through Sunday, Dec.26-28.

Beating Southside 59-21 Dec.28, “We had a great defensiveeffort, and we were able to scoreoff of our transition,” said coachGalloway, whose team stands at 6-7 overall, 1-3 in District 4-AAA

entering 2014. With the Lady Hawks up 29-15

at halftime, “In the second halfwe came out and we didn’t let[the big lead] take our energyaway,” Galloway said. “We playedreally good team basketball. Wewere ableto reversethe balland getthe open shot.”

Lacy Cantrell, HVA junior postwho led the team in scoring thefirst two classic games, talliednine Saturday. “Our defense kindof sets our offense,” Cantrell said.“We really went at it on defense,and our offense followed.”

Guard Katie Smartt led HardinValley in scoring with 12, followedby Brie Carter’s 11. Brooklyn

beat up on each other all of thetime.

“I also did this to give theKnoxville teams a chance to playin a tournament atmosphere.”

The Hockey Hoe Down is a laborof love for Johannes, who is the voiceof the league and the tournament.He runs the event along with ScottIngmand, the president of KAHA.

“I’m here to give back to theleague that meant so much to myson,” Johannes said. “He couldn’tfind a sport.

“He played for Bearden and hedeveloped a passion for hockey.”

Jim Johannes has moved on buthe remains passionate about thegame and is a die-hard PittsburghPenguins fan.

The weekend will be long forthe elder Johannes and for Ingm-and, who also had a son play in

Knoxville’s high school league.“Scott runs things and I’m the

voice and the music man,” JohnJohannes said. “It will be a longweekend.

“I’ll be here from 2 p.m. to mid-night on Friday. I’ll be back earlyon Saturday and I’ll be around tillmidnight and I’ll be back early onSunday. I don’t have a kid in theprogram and Scott doesn’t have akid in the program but as long ashe’s here, I’m here.”

Hockey has grown in Tennesseesince the Nashville Predators en-tered the National Hockey Leaguein 1997.

“There used to be seven [highschool] hockey teams in Nashvillebut since the Predators came in,there are 24,” John Johannes said.“The sport has grown.

“It’s a tough sport to start play-ing because it’s so expensive. Theice [time] is also expensive, so ifyou just like the game and don’t

love it, you won’t play.”The Hockey Hoe Down may be

the biggest tournament in EastTennessee but the top Nashvilleteams don’t participate, accordingto Johannes.

“The top teams in Nashville onlywant to play against themselves,”he said. “The second tier teamsthere play against the teams fromKnoxville and Memphis.

“These are not the top tierteams in the state but it’s the nexttier down.”

Farragut went 19-0 last seasonand Johannes said the Admiralscould’ve competed against the topNashville teams in 2012-13.

He also added that without thesupport of Cool Sports Home ofthe Icearium, the Hockey HoeDown wouldn’t exist.

“If Cool Sports wouldn’t help us,this wouldn’t be possible. We don’tmake a dime off of this,” he said.

Blaine Shockley, HVA juniorwing, added 19 while senior postDyonta Bizzle-Brown popped in10. “Biz, [Daniel] Linebaugh, allthat starting five group all playedreally well. Austin [Glasgow, sen-ior starting point guard] didn’tscore much, but he played greatdefense,” Galloway said.

Going down hard after beingundercut while going up to dunk alob pass, Bizzle-Brown was downbriefly then got up with a slightlimp. He continued playing. “Itwisted my leg, like in an awkwardmotion. It stung a little bit … butI felt I was OK so I just got up andwalked it off,” said Bizzle-Brown,joining Carter and other Hawkswho had numerous second-halfblocked shots. “They were reallyphysical.”

Galloway said, “I’m proud ofthem. And to come back after atough loss yesterday and to comeback today and have that perform-ance, that’s a big win.”

It was a see-saw lead changeagainst Karns, which improved to13-2 after the win, until a 7-0Beavers run midway into thefourth quarter turned a 43-42deficit lead into a 49-43 KHS edgewith 3:33 remaining.

Devin Sibley, Beavers star seniorguard, led all scorers with 28 points.

Carter led the Hawks with 17,followed by Linebaugh with 10.

Hardin Valley twice cut the leadto three late, but scored just onepoint in the game’s final two min-utes as Glasgow fouled out with2:52 left.

Galloway pointed to severalmissed baskets within five feet ofthe goal. “I feel like we’re sostrong, it’s not as noticeable whenwe get bumped. … But we’ve gotto score those anyway,” he said.

Eggert finished with 10 points forthe Admirals. The game, however,ended on a sour note as Turnermissed a potential game-winningshot with five seconds remaining.

The Ads opened tournamentplay with a 66-51 loss to ShelbyValley (Ky.) on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Farragut now turns its attentionto District 4-AAA, which resumesFriday, Jan. 3, with a home tiltagainst Lenoir City.

“We’re 2-2 in the district andwe’re going to get back to practiceand get ready for Lenoir City and

that’s all everybody is talkingabout right now,” Cool said.

While Farragut’s boys struggled,the Lady Ads had no such problems.

FHS’s girls (12-1) enjoyed thefirst two days in Hendersonville.

Farragut entered Monday’schampionship tilt (against unde-feated Brentwood) having wonnine consecutive games.

The Lady Ads advanced to thechampionship game with a 53-44win over the host LadyBuccaneers Saturday night.

“It was good to win this gamethe way we won it,” Lady Ads’coach Jason Mayfield said. “Wehad to tough it out.

“We have a lot of depth and thatwas good on a night like this.”

Farragut had Becca Jamesonand Mady Newby saddled with foultrouble.

But other players stepped up.Madison Maples scored 15 points(including 13 in the first half).Miranda Burt added 11 points.Anna Woodford finished witheight while Kristen Freeman andMaegen Hudson had six each.

The Lady Ads darted to a 22-7lead early in the second quarter.Farragut had a 12-7 lead after thefirst eight minutes. The LadyAdmirals scored the first 10 pointsof the second stanza to blowthings open in the semifinalsagainst the host Lady Buccaneers.

FHS had to hang on after its twopost players got into foul trouble.

The Lady Ads opened tourna-ment play with a lopsided victoryover Christian Academy ofLouisville (Ky.). Farragut startedfast and recorded a 78-43 win overa good but young opponent.

Hardin Valley recovered from a48-36 opening round loss toPowell Dec. 26 to crush winlessKarns 57-20 the next afternoon.

Sluggish in the first half againstKHS despite a 28-14 lead at thebreak, “We had a nice conversa-tion at halftime about playingmore together, giving more energydefensively,” Galloway said. “I feltthey came out and responded to

what was said at halftime.” Cantrell’s 17 points led the way,

followed by Carter with 15, Bishop10 and Smartt scoring nine.

“We were very balanced, especial-ly in the second half,” Galloway said.“Taylor Bishop was able to hit someopen shots, Brie [Carter] did a goodjob going to get rebounds. We stillgot the same thing from Lacy scor-ing inside and getting somerebounds.

“I felt we like we had greatteam play from Katie Smartt. Shewas able to distribute the basket-ball and then she also was able tofind her open look as well,”Galloway added about her guard.

Bearden to stop.The Bulldogs did, however,

manage to claw their way backand shaved the deficit to 38-29 byhalftime. Bearden came backdespite the fact that it was 1-for-16 behind the 3-point arc.

“We were 1-for-16 from three inthe first half and that killed us,”Blevins said.

Bearden’s veteran coach hadsome kind words for center JerrellStephney and backup point guardQuez Fair.

“I thought Jerrell had the bestgame for us,” Blevins said. “Quezhad the second best game for us.”

Stephney scored just six pointsbut was a force on the boardsdespite picking up his third foulwith seven minutes remaining inthe second quarter.

“It [his third foul] wasn’t muchof a factor because coach [Ble-vins] has a main focus of gettingthe ball into the post,” Stephneysaid. “We’ve been through this inpractice before.”

The Bulldogs may be battle-testedbut they simply didn’t have manyanswers against the Stars. Siegelhad four players score in double fig-ures. Tournament Most ValuablePlayer Charles Clark scored a game-high 24 points. Aden Burton, an All-tournament selection, scored 15points. Ryan Jones added 12 and

was also named to the All-tourna-ment team. D.J. McGee had 10 poi-nts and also made the All-tourna-ment team.

Isaiah Campbell led Beardenwith 15 points. Austin Duncan fin-ished with 14 points and was theBulldogs’ lone representative onthe All-tournament team.

While BHS struggled in the titlecontest, the Bulldogs played theirbest game of the season in Fridaynight’s semifinal win over theCherokees.

Jack Graham scored 26 pointsand Duncan added 23 to lead Bea-rden to an 86-62 win over South-Doyle.

“This was the best game we pla-yed all season.” Blevins said. “Wehad a lot of energy and we had a

good effort.The coach was extremely proud

of Duncan.“He’s maturing. I think Austin’s

going to be a collegiate player,”Blevins said. “He’s growing.”

Duncan said his teammatesplayed a huge role in his successagainst the Cherokees.

“The shots were falling and myteammates did a good job gettingme the ball,” he said. “We playedBearden basketball.”

While Graham and Duncandominated the perimeter, juniorSam Phillips punished theCherokees inside. He scored 16points. He also hit a 3-pointer astime expired in the third quarterto give the Bulldogs a 63-47 lead.
