The Tipton County Anti-Drug Coali-tion, which is still in the early stages of its development, held their monthly meeting on Thursday, Dec. 20 at 9 a.m. at the Cov-ington PCS.

Various members from the community were in attendance, including coalition of-ficers as well as representatives from law enforcement, education and legislative in-stitutions across the county.

The coalition is a state-funded entity and is currently working on meeting con-tractual requirements as such. Due to an upcoming audit in January, last week’s meeting served to tie up several loose ends concerning the coalition’s formation, including the bylaws that had been draft-ed earlier this year and tabled for further discussion. Also discussed in the meeting were the Title IV policy and a member in-volvement agreement.

The meeting also served to discuss the coalition’s immediate focus in terms of an-ti-drug efforts around the community. At present, they wish to focus on the abuse of prescription drugs, consistent with the Tennessee Prescription Safety Act of 2012.

The Brighton Board of Mayor and Al-dermen meeting on Dec. 12 began with newly-elected aldermen Melissa Sartain and Sarah Crocker being sworn into of-fice. Aldermen Jim Wyatt and Philip Ma-this, along with mayor Jeff Scott, were also sworn in at this time, having won re-election.

Attending the meeting as guests were representatives from the local Eagle Scouts, who presented the board with a request to build 13 birdhouses in the park. The scouts presented the mayor with a diagram as to the location and specifics of the birdhouses, and quoted the cost of materials in the amount of approximately $300. The scouts wish to begin the project in February. A motion was made to ap-prove the request for the project and its funding, which passed without opposi-tion.

Discussion was held concerning set-ting up a Facebook page for the Town of Brighton. Aldermen Sartain and Crocker reported that other cities in the area have presences on Facebook which have prov-en useful for publicizing events, foster-ing community involvement and serving many other positive roles. After some dis-cussion, a motion was made and passed for aldermen Sartain and Crocker to set

As we do at the end of each year, this week we’re reflecting on the year’s biggest stories. Following is a list of the stories that made 2012 memorable. We hope you enjoy this feature and welcome any comments you might have about the list.

January: Jacob Brown sen-tenced to life without parole

One day after he was con-victed in the brutal murders of James “Ed” and Bertha “Bea” Walker, Jacob Brown took the stand, apologizing to the Walk-ers’ family members while his own father sobbed loudly in the hallway of the justice com-plex.

The Walkers were found dead inside their Wiley Drive home in Munford on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011. The couple was beaten so badly with an alumi-num baseball bat – more than 40 times combined – police ini-tially believed they’d been shot to death.

Brown was questioned the following day and arrested after confessing to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Mark Reynolds.

Though he had been diag-nosed with schizophrenia in September 2010, in March 2011 he was ruled competent to stand trial and was tried as an adult.

The state charged him with two counts each of first-degree murder, felony murder and es-pecially aggravated burglary.

After deliberating for an esti-mated hour and a half Thursday night, a jury returned a verdict of guilty on all six counts.

Charged with determining his sentence on the first-degree murder charges, the jury decid-ed he should serve life without

Implementation Plan Work-sheet which contained very specific actions and indica-tors of steps the coalition will be taking starting in January 2013 and continu-ing through June. This plan provides a very clear out-line of what members wish to accomplish through the

organization.To emphasize the need for

these efforts in the commu-nity, District Attorney Gen-eral Mike Dunavent pre-sented an educational video and supplemental literature concerning the dangers of prescription drug abuse. He then informed members of the availability of these re-sources for distribution.

At present, the coalition is seeking additional mem-bers from around the com-munity. Anyone who may be interested can feel free to attend their next meeting on Jan. 17 at 9 a.m., which will be located in the Covington Professional Care Services building.

up and moderate a Town of Brighton Facebook page on a trial basis, the success of which to be discussed at the next meeting.

Other matters discussed are as follows:

• On behalf of the po-lice department, there was some discussion concern-ing the police station’s se-curity measures mentioned in last month’s meeting. A suggested price was given in the amount of $1,400 for these additional security measures, including but not limited to additional secu-

rity cameras in the station. The department still would like to get more estimates, however, so the issue will be revisited at next month’s meeting.

• On behalf of the public works department, discus-sion was held concerning the appearance and place-ment of signs mandating that pets must be leashed in certain areas. Suggestions as to the appearance of these signs were presented and discussed. Questions were raised regarding whether or not fines will be imple-

mented and included on these signs, which will be researched and discussed next month.

• The public works de-partment also presented suggestions for the vehicle decals discussed in last month’s meeting. A design was agreed upon.

• On behalf of the parks and recreation department, a celebration to commemo-rate the Town of Brighton’s 100-year milestone was briefly mentioned. Further discussion is to come at a later meeting.

February: Gilt Edge can’t pay its bills, muddled in roadway conflict

Embattled council unable to pay its billsGILT EDGE – Last Friday’s special called

board meeting was supposed to appoint a new recorder and alderman to replace for-mer Gilt Edge Mayor Philip Nelson and recorder Jeff Hunter who both recently resigned. The meeting, called by then vice-mayor and Gilt Edge Fire Chief Steve Fletcher, instead left a lot of questions unan-swered and an entire agenda, save for one task, incomplete.

Gilt Edge citizens who filled the trailer

that serves as City Hall, left with more ques-tions than answers.

Hunter, who resigned on Sunday, Jan. 15, said his duties as recorder conflicted too much with duties at his place of business as well as time spent with his family. He was not sighted at the meeting.

Former Mayor Phillip Nelson, who has been the mayor since the death of mayor Wayne Sloan in 2010, cited in his resigna-tion letter problems with other aldermen as his reason for resigning.

The council, which normally seats three alderman and a recorder, was attended by Alderman Rodney McLillie and Vice-May-or/Alderman Steve Fletcher. City Attorney Lyle Jones was also in attendance.

Before the meeting began, Fletcher asked that Holly McDowell serve as recorder pro tempore to take the minutes.

By Tom VilsackU.S. Secretary of Agriculture

As Americans celebrate the holiday season, we have a chance to catch up with family and friends, count our blessings and reflect on the year behind us.

Looking back on 2012, I am proud of those across rural America who stayed resilient in the face of disaster. They managed farms, ranches and Main Street businesses through a record drought, an his-toric hurricane, and more. Ultimately, their hard work kept the momentum of rural America going strong.

I’m thankful for the thousands of men and wom-en who, year in and year out, step up to serve our nation. I know that many of these military service members come from our small towns and rural communities – and that no matter where they’re from, each is a hero to our nation. They’re stationed around the world today and many will spend their holidays away from family and friends, so that we can be safely at home with ours.

I am further grateful at this time of year for the service and sacrifice of our 22 million American veterans – more than 6 million of whom live, work and raise their families in rural America.

Finally I am heartened that so many Americans stand up during the holidays to help those who are struggling. Volunteers from our smallest towns to our biggest cities are helping ensure that no one goes hungry over the holidays – especially our children. They’re making sure that everyone has a warm place to sleep. They’re working hard to make sure every family the chance to have a special holi-day celebration.

I hope that everyone who is able will give some of their time during the holidays, and beyond, be-cause every minute we give strengthens the resil-ience of our nation.

As we celebrate the holiday season, we have much to be thankful for. I hope that you’ll join me in saying “thank you” to those who keep us going strong as a nation – from the brave men and wom-en defending our freedom around the world, to the volunteers who strengthen our communities here at home.

Wherever you are during this special time of year, I wish you a happy and safe holiday.

Honoring those who strengthen America

We need some political changes to help everyone in our United States of Our America. Not just a select few. Quit sending money to foreign soil for public relations and take care of our own folks. Need for the Department of Agricul-ture to pay top dollar and buy my farmer’s crops and send the commodi-ties overseas. That would eliminate tak-ing our money, buy-ing bubble gum and angel food cake from North Korea.

The Guv’mint, which is supposed to be me and you, needs to send cot-ton, corn, beans and ’taters so my hard working farmers can purchase a new mule, milk cow and the lady get an updated Maytag wringer washing machine and hopefully replace the leaky icebox on the back porch. The farmers come foremost and first.

Need to empty the hospitals which are overflowing like a tilted rain barrel and fill up the church pews ’til they overflow. Need to take those law breaking convicts out of the warm, soft feathery beds and stick out there cleaning ditch-es, and building roads instead

of watching television, resting and laying around dreaming up some more crimes. Need to save the hard working taxpayers more money. Need to give the same sen-tence to an advertising lawyer that defends criminals. That would cut down on some television time.

Friends, we need to hold politicians account-able when they promise all those lies trying to get in office. If they don’t de-liver what they told us, just throw ’em under a loaded down cotton wag-on. But POLITICS is just like wood ticks, seed ticks and dog ticks. Yep! Just plain ole parasites! .

Need to make sure the law maker that makes the laws about how to rule a

school system had to raise some chandelier swing-

ers to get some experience before they enacted the laws. First hand knowledge. After a little class room instruction I’ll bet some laws would be unenacted immediately and for the betterment of our won-derful teachers.

Need the teachers to teach and parents to parent which is to raise and discipline their own young’uns. Need a good whoop-in’ at school for the gully jumpers and another at home that night.

Needs to be more educatin’ and more young’uns to ‘ack-rite’.

Neighbor, we need to get fair prices for hogs which are now about forty cents a pound. Then the guv’mint needs to ’splain to me why hog meat costs five dol-lars a pound in the sto’? Sho’ a big gap and I ain’t talkin’ ’bout a barbed wire fence either. These problems have been created by skullduggery and carpet baggery selfish, egotistical, cold hearted in-dividuals. There is always enough for the needy but never enough for the greedy.

Proudly I believe we need to send about a half dozen Southern sages off the front porch of Mr. Ben’s mercantile to D. C. Washing-ton and they would have it whit-tled out in a week as they would send their saddle home.

Beloved, what the world needs now is love, sweet love, more com-passion and caring for their fellow-man. Need a lot less back stabbin’ and more workin’ together. May-be, just maybe some of these needs can be fulfilled in the New Year…GLORY!

Reply to Wallace letterIn reply to Mr. Bill Wallace’s letter titled “Cause

and Effect.” I find it difficult to understand why a professional tractor mechanic, with such a keen sense of analyzing problems, can’t understand Obama won because he received more votes than Romney as Mr. Krauthammer pointed out. An un-confirmed report from one of the news networks reported 60 to 70 percent of the eligible female vot-ing population cast their ballot for Obama. This would suggest two thirds of eligible female vot-ers closest to you and I, wife, mother, sister and daughter, voted for President Obama. I would be interested to know which group he would put these beautiful ladies.

Cpl. Daniel L. Caudle, son of Mary A. Keesee of Huntington, W. Va. and Jerry H. Caudle, of Mu-nford, recently reported for duty with Marine Aerial Refueler Trans-port Squadron 152, Ma-rine Aircraft Group 36, Okinawa, Japan. Caudle joined the Marine Corps in April 2011.

Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Crawford, son of Lisa Crawford of Munford and Mike D. Craw-ford, of Munford, and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Jymyaka J. Braden, daughter of Janice Braden of Mun-ford, along with nearly

12, 000 past and current crew members, family and friends attended the inactivation of aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65).

Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, recently completed its 25th and final deployment and returned to its homeport of Naval Station Norfolk for a scheduled inacti-vation, held prior to the ship’s terminal offload program and subsequent decommissioning.

The inactivation cer-emony was the last of-ficial public event for the ship, and served as a celebration of life for the ship and the more than 100, 000 sailors who

served aboard. In honor of that spirit,

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, in a video message played at the ceremony, announced that the name Enterprise will live on as they offi-cially passed the name to CVN-80, the third Ford class carrier and the ninth ship in the U.S. Navy to bear the name.

Commissioned on November 25, 1961, the eighth ship to bear the illustrious name Enter-prise, the “Big E” was the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

As a Christian attorney, I find that living out faith sometimes puts you at odds with the world’s systems. Hob-by Lobby, a Christian company, has learned that, too. In fact, they might be fined up to $1.3 million a day un-til they capitulate and compromise what they believe!

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will not stop the Obama Care rules and egre-gious daily fines that will hit the private company if they do not violate their faith by covering abortion-causing drugs. The Christian owners say this is an unconstitutional mandate that in-fringes their right to earn a living while remaining true to their faith.

Hobby Lobby is pro-life, and sim-ply refuses to pay for the morning-after pill, an abortion-causing drug. In the Courts’ ruling, they found that the mandate will not “substantially burden” Hobby Lobby’s religious freedom.

This will now go to the U.S. Su-

preme Court, if they accept the case. There are at least forty others head-ing that way. But, they will not rule

on the greater issue of the mandate; they will only rule on a temporary reprieve for Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby has over 13,000 full-time employees in more than 500 locations, including Memphis. They are known for full-page ads proclaiming Jesus’ birth at Christmas and His resur-rection at Easter, and being closed on Sunday, as is a sim-ilar Christian company, Chic-Fil-A. This is the statement of purpose Hobby Lobby open-

ly publishes on their website:Statement of Purpose: In order to

effectively serve our owners, em-ployees, and customers the Board of Directors is committed to:

Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.

Offering our customers an excep-tional selection and value.

Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work envi-ronment and company policies that

build character, strengthen individu-als, and nurture families.

Providing a return on the owners’ investment, sharing the Lord’s bless-ings with our employees, and invest-ing in our community.

We believe that it is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. He has been faithful in the past, and we trust Him for our fu-ture.

I hate to see our government, how-ever well intended, run roughshod over sincerely held beliefs of Chris-tian organizations like this. And, it never seems to be against those of other faiths like Islam, but only against Christians. As for me, I am cheering on Hobby Lobby and Chic-Fil-A—we need more born-again job creators in this country who stand up for what they believe! Let’s hope the Supreme Court agrees.___

It’s a rainy, foggy Sun-day night, and I’m trying to get the column done by the early deadline this week, and next! I’m hav-ing to type it on Micro-soft Publisher and fax it! My computer messed up again; we have no inter-net.

I’m ready for Christ-mas! We had the Watkins Christmas here Friday night. Twenty folks en-joyed ham, chicken ten-ders, sweet potato cas-serole, potato casserole, green beans, baked beans, corn, deviled eggs, slaw and mac-and-cheese. We also had lots of desserts, cookies and a cheese ball. Everyone had a good time eating and talking. It was a good get-together!

James and I ate at the new restaurant yesterday and today after church with Clint and Courtney. It was nice and very per-sonalized for Covington; there were pictures of Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church, the Ruffin, the Ritz, the Covington wa-ter tower, etc. We had lots of fun and good food! We hope to take the Queen of Mt. Carmel, Catherine McCalla, this week after Christmas.

I’ve been working on making coasters from ceramic tiles for a week now. Everybody in the family is getting some!

Carol McMahan re-mains in rehab and Bar-bara Johnson is recover-ing from surgery. Sue Bringle is getting over a fall. Larry Whaley II was at church today – that was wonderful! So many are in our prayers, es-

pecially our servicemen and women.

Congratulations to Tommy and Miranda on the birth of Mabry Cathe-rine, who weighed seven pounds three ounces and was 18 ¾ inches long. She was born on 12/21/12. Prayers have been an-swered for this wonder-ful couple who has been waiting to adopt. We can’t wait to see her!

Little Ethan Thomas Matlock made his first appearance at church this morning and our tra-ditional first-time prayer was said by Jeff Phillips. Ethan is a handsome lit-tle fella!

Happy birthday this week goes to Chris Lax-ton on Dec. 23, to Mi-chael Moore and Miranda Schroader on the 24th, to Logan Wall, Jill Matlock, Bruce Hazlerig and Shel-ley Dickey on the 26th, to

Justin Harrell on the 28th and to David Keith on the 29th!

Happy anniversary to Bill and Pat Gatlin on Christmas Day and to Jeff and Jennifer Phillips on the 28th!

Sympathy is extended to Bill Gatlin in the death of a cousin, and to Becky Evins in the death of her grandmother, Lu Warren. These families are in my prayers.

This week’s Farmer’s Almanac Quote: “For luck, don’t display a new calendar until after sun-up on Jan. 1.” And we all want good luck!

“Thanks for Reading” this week goes to Milton Murphy. Sa-lute!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year from Mt. Carmel!

Tipton County and the Civil War Compiled by Russell B. BaileyTipton County Historian

On Nov. 23, 1862, Mrs. Mattie Lynn of Idaville wrote:

“The battle of 8th [Perryville] has saddened many households…When I think of the boys so many of them cut in the midst of youth when their hopes for the future was bright and would have been useful in state and church.

“Our good and noble friend Ar-chy [Baird, Co. C, 9th Infantry] has fought his last battle; died in four days after he was wounded and I cannot tell you how sad I felt when I heard it for poor Lois, what a hard trial it will be for her…”

Reports of more casualties trick-led into Tipton: Robert Marshall had been shot in the neck and died in the arms of Jonathan Sloan Hill; Alfred Ward and Edward T. Elam were wounded and both had legs amputated in hospitals.

Tiptonians fortunate enough to survive the battle suffered star-vation, lack of water and bush-whacking on the march back to Tennessee.

T. J. Walker wrote:

“We commenced our retreat out of Kentucky through the wild cat section which is a very hilly and rough section…it was Gen. Bragg’s custom to always push his wagon trains far to the rear on a retreat…he did not issue us any rations for several days except salt and one ear of corn a day to season it…

“Our faithful colored cook vol-unteered to go on one of his scouts for grub for the mess. As we had strict orders not to leave ranks un-less well armed, we advised him to keep with the troops. However, he, contrary to our advice, went but he never returned. No doubt his bones now bleach in that in-hospitable section—a victim to his loyalty to the Confederate cause. A nobler or truer heart never beat in the breast of any living being…Peace to his ashes!”

Polk’s Corps of Gen. Braxton Bragg’s army began leaving Tul-lahoma on the 22d marching via Manchester to Murfreesboro, Ten-nessee. Many were without shoes. These men were left by the rail-road to be taken by the first avail-able train. That same day, Bragg officially re-named the forces he

commanded to be known as the “Army of Tennessee,” the name it would bear the rest of the war.

Miss. - The 1st Tennessee Heavy Artillery was stationed at Vicks-burg. The 7th Tennessee Cavalry and Captain John Gracey Hall’s contingent of the 51st Tennessee Infantry were at Holly Springs in Gen. Earl Van Dorn’s Army of West Tennessee.

On Nov. 8, the 7th Tennessee and 1st Mississippi Cavalry Regi-ments met the advance of Gen. U. S. Gwrant’s forces at Lamar seven miles south of La Grange, Tenn. The Confederates advanced in a column of fours on the road with a ridge on their left and a ditch on their right. They were attacked by cavalry of the 2nd Illinois, 3rd Michigan and 7th Kansas who rode to the ridge on the Confed-erate left and fired down into the unsuspecting Rebels.

“We were thrown into confu-sion by a Federal flank attack. The flight and panic was general…the men falling over some wounded horses in the road, and into deep ditches; 21 of the 7th Cavalry were wounded, captured and paroled.”

Covington High School junior Aryn Mullins has an exciting week ahead of her.

Mullins, who plays clarinet with the CHS band, has been selected as one of approximately 300 students nationwide to march in the New Year's Day Rose Pa-rade in Pasadena, Calif. with the Bands of America Honor Band. She is the only student chosen from West Tennessee and one of three state-wide.

Her mother, Dee, says that to qualify for this extremely high honor, Mullins was required to submit recorded ver-sions of six pieces of audition music to Music for All and Bands of America

Honor Band, and was chosen based on those recordings.

Mullins was chosen to play in the band earlier in the year, and was fea-tured in a May edition The Leader in an article by Sherri Onorati.

Earlier in the year, many fundraisers were held and Mullins worked hard to raise the money to cover the cost of the trip. Her mother says that she and her daughter are very grateful for all who donated money to help her get to Pasa-dena.

Mullins left for Pasadena on Dec. 26 and will remain until Jan. 2. The once-in-a-lifetime trip will involve rehearsals, performances, special activities and, of course, the world-famous Rose Parade on Jan. 1.

An active part of the Covington High student body, Mullins is a mem-ber of the National Honor Society in addition to keeping busy with the CHS marching band. She has also de-veloped her musical abilities by play-ing in several different honor bands around the regions, including All West Honor Band.

Her mother says that Mullins loves marching band and would like to study music production in college.

TN seat belt safety mascot visits schoolsOn Oct. 16, students at Crestview Elementary School

and Covington Integrated Arts Academy received a visit from a special guest. Ollie Otter, Tennessee's booster seat and seat belt safety mascot, visited the schools to promote the use of booster seats. Ollie's program also encourages students to wear their seat belts and to raise the awareness of roadway construction site safety. Ollie's slogan for the students was, “Under 4'9 - It's Booster Time!”

Ollie was joined by several volunteers working to in-crease booster seat and seat belt usage among Tennessee's elementary school children. Michelle Wright, West Ten-nessee Coordinator for "It's Booster Time,” presented the program to the students with the assistance of Tennessee State Trooper Chris Richardson. Additional volunteers from the Tennessee Technology Center at Covington were Daniel Reeves, who dressed as Ollie, and Patrick Gibson who played the roadway construction worker.

The Ollie Otter program is sponsored by the Tennes-see Transportation Development Foundation, a non profit group established by the Tennessee Road Builders As-

sociation, and the TRBA Ladies Auxiliary. The statewide safety education program has made presentations in all 95 counties in Tennessee and is now crossing state borders.

Ollie Otter communicates that Tennessee law requires the use of booster seats until a child is 4'9” tall or nine years old. An orange and white construction barrel, rep-resenting Ollie's home, is on display to teach the chil-dren the importance of roadway safety near construction work zones. The children were told to aswk their parents, “Please slow down!” when they see construction barrels and road builders on the road.

The children were also taught about “Belts to Bones,” and what part of the body the seat belt should hit when properly buckled up, the collarbone, the sternum and the hipbone. Student volunteers were measured to show the height differences between those who need booster seats and those who don't.

Top 10 of 2012

Tipton County's newsmakers in the world of sportsBy JEFF [email protected]

Editor's note: A lot of high school ath-letes in Tipton County helped make 2012 a memorable year.

In this and next week's paper, we will highlight what we believe to be the top 10 Tipton County sports stories of 2012. This week we will list the top 10, followed by next week's top five.

No. 10Continued success for the Cougars

The season certainly ended before the Cougar faithful wanted to as Mu-nford's football team lost to undefeated Jackson North Side in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs.

But what a ride it was in the regular season.

The Cougars defeated Millington for the first time in several years on a dra-matic two-point conversion. It was the first win for the seniors over their bitter rivals to the south.

A big win over Dyer County was a also landmark victory as the Cou-gars made the playoffs for the second straight season.

No. 9Cardinals streak late

The Brighton football team started the season 1-3, prompting some to sure-ly write off the season.

But the Cardinals had other plans. Brighton reeled off six straight wins,

including a dramatic win over Milling-ton and league victories over Munford, Dyer County and Hardin County to earn a No. 2 seed in the Class 6A play-offs.

The season ended with a first round playoff loss to Millington, but the Car-dinals definitely gave opponents some-thing to think about next year.

No. 8Cards nearly make state

Brighton was two seconds away from making history in 2012.

But Bartlett senior Anthlon Bell pulled the rug out from under the Cardinals' players, coaches and fans with one shot when he made a 3-pointer from the top of the key with two ticks left on the

clock for a 76-75 Bartlett win, ending the Cardinals' season and preventing them from advancing to the sectionals, which would have a been a first in the program's history.

Nevertheless, it was an exciting run for the Cardinals under first-year coach Darryle Rogers

No. 7Lady Rebels return to Murfreesboro

As defending state champs, the Tip-ton-Rosemark Academy softball team entered the 2012 season with targets on their backs.

Nevertheless, the team found suc-cess, returning to the state tournament to defend its title.

The Lady Chargers traveled to Fort Payne, Ala., for a Christmas tournament and improved their record to 14-2, going 2-1 in the event and finishing third.

In the opening game, Coving-ton defeated Anniston (Ala.) 58-41. Ashia Jones was the game's high scorer with 21 points. Ja-neika Mason added 17 along with 13 rebounds.

“I thought we improved as the game progressed,” Coving-ton coach Dion Real said. “This was a solid opponent which en-

tered the game with an identical record to ours, 12-1. I liked the way we pulled it out. It was a total team win.”

In the semifinal, the Lady Chargers took on a Sparkman (Ala.) team that is ranked as the No. 1 team in Alabama and in the top 100 teams in the nation. Covington acquitted itself well, taking Sparkman to overtime before falling 67-63.

“This was a game I thought we should have won. They were led by a player I will never for-get,” Real said.

Alexis Jennings was a one-woman show for Sparkman,

netting 41 points while pulling down 25 rebounds, even though she fouled out with two minutes remaining in overtime.

Jones led CHS in scoring with 23 and Precious Harvey added 14. Covington bettered the op-ponent at the free throw line, hitting at an 82 percent (19/23) clip to 65 percent (13/20).

“We played as well in the first half as we have played all year, but the second half exposed the weaknesses we have to work on," said Real. "We gave up too many offensive rebounds and had too many turnovers. This is as close to a post-season at-

mosphere as we will see in the regular season.”

Covington blitzed Grissom (Ala.) in the consolation game 71-34. Jones dropped in a sea-son-high 31 and Mason chipped in 12.

“I was proud of the way we bounced back after a tough loss on Friday night," Real said. “We played well and got this one in the bag early.”

CHS returns to regular season play on Jan. 4 hosting Crockett County.

The Chargers travel to Harri-son, Ark., for a holiday tourna-ment Dec. 27-29.

Lady Chargers win two of three in Ala.CHS athletes honoredBy STEVE [email protected]

The Covington Char-ger golf and football programs were recog-nized during the past week for excellence this fall on the course and the gridiron. Both the Best of Preps com-mittee for the local area and the Tennes-see Sports Writers As-sociation (TWSA) an-nounced awards.

CHS senior Tommy Beasley and junior Brad Walker were selected to the BOP Division 1 golf team. Both had great seasons, earning spots in the A-AA state tournament in McMin-nville earlier this year.

Six Charger foot-ballers were tapped for recognition by the BOP, with two of those also receiving All-State hon-ors from the TWSA.

Johnston White’s 2,673-yard rushing sea-son, a school record, and state-leading 44 rushing and receiving touchdowns garnered him notice as a BOP offensive finalist and a place on the Tennes-see county team. The TSWA also recognized White, placing him on the All-State first team on offense for Class 4A.

Carlos Williams’ school season record and state-leading eight interceptions gave him the nod from the BOP on the Tennessee

It was almost a white Christmas for West Tennessee! Our first snowfall for

Winter 2012. Pictured is the Courthouse in Downtown Covington.

TRA lost just seven games during the season: three to eventual DII-A state champ USJ and one each to DCA, Davidson and St. Benedict, all three of which advanced to the state tournament.

“I'm pleased overall,” Layton said. “We just didn't get it done at the end.”

No. 6Rebels go to state

The Tipton-Rosemark Academy Rebels were one of hottest teams in the state heading into the DII-A State Tournament.

TRA went two and out, but they showed they can compete on a stage with anybody. During the regu-lar season the Rebels, who finished 32-14, competed against and beat some of the largest and best public schools in the area.

In Murfreesboro, the Rebels lost two very tight games to Ezell-Harding and Harding Academy.

“I still feel like we had a very solid season,” said TRA coach Brad Smith, whose team finished one win short of a state tour-nament berth last year. “In the preseason, one of our goals was to compete for a state championship … And we got there.”

County team and a spot on the TSWA 4A All State first team on defense.

Senior Jonathan Van Cleve’s record setting production as a kicker (74 of 75 PAT attempts made, including 72 con-

secutive) earned him a BOP nod as well as fel-low teammates, senior G/LB/RB Aretavious Brown, senior OL/DT Ja-darius Temple and junior DE/TE Delvin Russell.

The Best of Preps will

make award presenta-tions and announce the winners amongst the var-ious finalists in all sports categories at its awards ceremony on June 6 at the Germantown Performing Arts Center.
