City leaders are expected to vote next
Tuesday night on a $3.9 million capital
outlay note, or bond issuance that would
cover up to 10 capital projects recommended by Mayor Scott Foster for the
2016-17 fiscal budget year.
But the matter was deferred by the
board of mayor and aldermen Aug. 11,
when city leaders disagreed on whether all
the projects should be funded at this time.
“I’m surprised anyone still has questions after months of workshops and
meetings, but if they do I’ll be glad to wait
two more weeks for them to finish their
homework,” Alderman Scott Sprouse, who
made the motion to defer, said.
Among them was $400,000 for an engineering design for the Saundersville Road
railroad trestle, or underpass. Phase 2 of
the Saundersville Road connector project
was to eliminate the at-grade crossing of
the CSX Railroad track on Saundersville
Road, near Gallatin Road. The city had previously proposed to the state, construction
of a new grade separated tunnel that would
re-route traffic to Gallatin Road near the
former House of Cash building.
TDOT has called in the 2008 commitment; instructing city officials to either
get the work done, or risk having the road
closed, saying the situation is also causing
traffic to back up onto the bypass from the
Saundersville Road, Exit 8.
But not everyone is on board with the
project.
“I am opposed to it - I don’t think it should
be in the bond at all at this point,” Alderman
Mark Skidmore said. “We have many, many
questions on that. The capital projects committee also had a lot of questions and originally pulled it out of the bond.”
Money for that project was previously
pledged to the city by the original developer, Halo and several board members,
as well as citizens, have repeatedly questioned where the money went. The company went into receivership before the
city could collect and now taxpayers will
foot the bill for the project, which was estimated at around $5 million in 2008.
Skidmore said he is still having difficulty
believing that TDOT would actually mandate
the project or close the exit, especially when
he says there are other exits off the same bypass that are in worse shape as far as danger-
ous traffic backups.
He believes someone with TDOT
should meet with
city leaders on the
matter.
“It is hard for
me because as long
as I have worked
with TDOT - since
Scott Sprouse
1985 - I have never, ever heard of
TDOT saying this
to a city that is
the tenth largest
in the state, that
they are going to
shut down a major exit ramp that
affects
35,000
people,” Skidmore
said. “It’s just unMark Skidmore
heard of. As far as
the safety factor, Exit 7 is a far worse situation. Exit 8 is nothing compared to exit 7.”
Aside from the additional monies that
would need to be spent, Skidmore said he
fears the project would drive customers
away from local businesses in the area.
“If they decide to do this, they are going to shut down that portion of Saundersville Road it’s going to devastate the businesses on Gallatin Road right there,” he
said. “Thornton’s will go broke, Casa Vieja
and that whole strip mall, and the pharmacy
on the corner of Winston Hills - it’s going to
have a major economic impact on that side
of the city and I don’t want that side of town
to go the way my side of town went when Indian Lake Village came in. It became a ghost
town and we are still suffering from it.”
Sprouse said the proposed underpass
would be the lesser of two evils and he
would support the project.
“I don’t think any of us like the current intersection and nobody is a fan of
the proposed fix,” he said. “Nothing we do
there is going to be pretty or inexpensive,
but we have to do something. I will support the project because in the long run, it
will be safer and handle more traffic.”
Other capital projects on the original
list include a landfill for limb dumping
($100,000); improvements to Volunteer
Drive ($750,000); fire truck replacement
($400,000); a new park -now being called
Arrowhead- ($1.7 million); capital projects
for the city golf course ($45,000); a new
generator for city hall ($45,000); HVAC
work for the Freehill Road fire station
($10,000); a roof for city hall ($90,000);
and a roof for the archive building ($8,200).

Langford elected new county commission chair
LeMarbre elected chair pro tem
By JOSH NELSON
Commissioner Scott Langford,
a Goodlettsville resident who represents District 11, was elected by
the Sumner County Commission to
be the next commission chairman.
He will replace District 8 Commissioner Paul Decker of Hendersonville, who announced last
month he would not seek another
term as chairman.
“I took this reluctantly at the beginning because I felt like a lot of folks
wanted somebody who could bridge
the gap between the former commission and this commission,” Decker said
last month. “We have tried to do that.”
But once was enough, and Langford was nominated by District 7
Commissioner Trisha LeMarbre of
Hendersonville.
LeMarbre herself was nominated by District 3 Commissioner
Steve Graves of Bethpage, but she
turned down the nomination.
District 1 Commissioner Moe
Taylor of Westmoreland then nominated District 5 Commissioner
Ben Harris of Gallatin.
Langford, a pastor and the principal of White House High School,
defeated Harris on a vote of 15 to
6, with two abstentions and District
6 Commissioner Jim Vaughn not
present due to a death in his family.
Langford did not speak after
his election, but he did nominate
LeMarbre for the position of chairman pro tem.
Taylor then nominated District
2 Commissioner Larry Hinton of
Portland.
LeMarbre was elected on a vote
of 16 to 6, with Hinton abstaining.
At the very end of the meeting,
Decker thanked the commission
again for their support.
HOW THEY VOTED
“I appreciate
your
confidence in
me and my
leadership
this last year,
and I wish Mr.

Langford on his new role as commission chairman
Says leadership of body will
change, but only slightly
By JOSH NELSON
While Scott Langford is new to
being the chairman of the county
commission, he is not new to a
leadership role.
The Goodlettsville resident has
led churches and currently leads
White House High School as the institution’s principal, but now he is
taking on a new and different role.
In an interview Monday night
after his election as chairman, he
said he was at first torn about the
idea of leading the commission.
“When I look at my schedule
and I look at my (two) daughters,
the first thing you say is, ‘How in
the world am I going to have time
to do this?’” he said. “But then,
when you look at, one, the privilege to be honored by your colleagues and have the privilege to
serve, you can’t take that lightly.
And second...we get so few years
of public service – or few years of
life – and the way I try to live my
life is if others need you to serve,
you step forward and do it. Part of
it is when you run for the county
commission, you’re running to
serve, and you’re running to lead.”

the gavel from outgoing chairman Paul Decker. Photo by Josh Nelson.
Langford said the idea of being commission chairman was
the matter of a lot of discussion
amongst his family.
“When we started to talk about
it and think about it, I thought, ‘If
someone nominates me, I’ll allow
my name to go forward and I’ll accept it if elected,’” he said. “You just
kind of think about who is going to
step forward and run, and the immediate thing is everybody says,
‘I’m too busy, I’m too this, and I’m
too that.’ Really, any of the 24 (on
the county commission) can serve
as chairman, and I really do believe
that, but I’m really honored to
have the privilege to lead.”
Langford said the commitment to serve both his family and
his community is in his blood.
“You know, the great blessing
that I have is my Dad was a high
school principal and an assistant principal before that, and he
thought that if you got to school
after 6:30 (a.m.) you were late and
if you left before the last event you
were leaving early, so typically we
would go from 6:30 (a.m.) to nine
or 10 o’clock (at night) most every
night of the week, so I’ve kind of
grown up this way. It’s just what
you’re used to. And I’m not going
to lie – I enjoy serving at school
and then here as much as I’m able.”
Langford said his leadership
style will be different than some
of the previous commission chairmen, but not much.
Committees will be key to
moving forward
“I think one of the great advan-
tages we’ve had in the past is that
our chairmen have been retired
and so they can devote a tremendous amount of time attending
meetings,” he said. “I think my
philosophy will be slightly different – partially out of necessity,
but I also believe that we’re a legislative body. We’re supposed to be
deliberative, and we’re supposed
to trust our committees, so I’ll be
there whenever I’m needed, and I’ll
be at key meetings, but I also trust
the chairmen we elect to guide
their committees, and I trust this
body when we meet together.
“I think in some ways, my primary purpose is to keep an order
to make sure we follow our own
rules and procedures and then to
let the legislative process play out,”
he said. “I think (that process is)
quite exciting. (Monday night), in
a meeting where we didn’t have a
tremendous amount on the agenda, I thought there were some really good ideas that started.”
Langford then referenced the
cost of architects for school construction (see related story).
“Even if we decide to keep paying architectural fees the way we
do now, I think it’s a great conversation to have – on everything,” he
said. “‘Is there a better way to do
this?’ I thought that way as a pastor. I think that way as a principal. I
spend a lot of time thinking about
the best way to run the school, but
some of the best ideas come out
when you get a group of teachers
or a group of kids together.
“Last year, I spent a lot of time
with kids giving them an opportunity to take a stake in the leadership
of our school,” Langford continued.
“Some of the ideas they came up
with, we’ve implemented. I think
the same thing is true here, too. I
think if you take 24 people who are
elected to represent their constituencies across the county and you
bring all those different angles and
perspectives together, we’re going
to get some pretty good ideas.”
Langford acknowledged there
will be disagreement and tension.
“I think sometimes we’re going
to debate and we’re going to fuss
and we’re going to fight,” he said,
“but I think at the end of the day,
I think we’re going to get some
things that are really good and be
really beneficial to the county.”

When officials at Millersville Elementary
School received a voice recorded bomb threat
last Friday, a plan was quickly followed to
evacuate children and get them to safety.
Millersville police, Sumner County
Emergency Management Agency, Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and school
staff were immediately at the scene and
students were initially transported to the
Millersville Police Department.
“I want to personally thank our leadership and our school system, law enforcement and the city of Millersville
- I really appreciate the way we handled
this,” board member Ted Wise said at
Tuesday’s school board meeting.
Board member Jeff Cordell said regular drills at Sumner schools helped to
better prepare the students in the emergency situation.
“It’s sad we have to take time out of
our education day to do these drills, but
they are needed and they were ready,”
Cordell said.
Director of Schools Dr. Del Phillips said
the collaborative effort of everyone involved kept the situation from getting out
of control. The day will also serve as a learn-

ing experience moving forward, he said.
“We wish that hadn’t happened, but
we will go through a debriefing and go
in and see what we need to improve on,”
Phillips said. “There’s always some level
of anxiety, but these folks really helped
us stay organized. We got the food to the
community center and I think there were
seven (bomb threats) across Middle Tennessee. We have turned this over to the
TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigations)
and they were on the ground that day.
“Hopefully they catch who did this
and can stop it from happening again.”
This was the first bomb threat received to a Sumner school in two years,
according to Jeremy Johnson, spokesperson for Sumner County Schools. In
2013, two threats were called in - one at
Gateview Elementary School in Portland;
another at Gallatin High School.

A complaint to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by AT&T
has prompted the Sumner County School
Board to make a budget adjustment, adding an additional $549,000 to their 201516 operating budget.
A national program called E-Rate provides funding through the FCC for all
qualifying schools in the U.S., covering
approximately 80 to 90 percent of the
cost of each school’s broadband and connectivity services.
Sumner County, along with 44 other
Tennessee school systems, known as the
Sweetwater Consortium, chose Education
Networks of America (ENA) as its internet
provider, even though AT&T was the low
bidder. Each system had been receiving
the E-Rate compensation since 2008.
Even though the school systems were
not required to go with the lowest bid,
AT&T is challenging the process. As a
result, USAC, a private contractor which
manages the E-Rate program for the
FCC, began about 30 months ago, withholding the E-Rate benefits for each of
the 45 school systems while the AT&T
appeal is being reviewed.
Director of Schools Dr. Dell Phillips
said the $549,000 was to cover monies
that could be withheld for the current
school year.
“If we win that appeal, we will get
that money reimbursed,” Phillips said. “If
we do win, we won’t have to worry about
previous years and we’ll get the E-Rate.
Obviously we hope we win and hopefully
they will rule pretty quickly.”
In a June 11 letter to U.S. Senator
Lamar Alexander, Nashville attorney
Charles Cagle, who represents all the
school systems in the consortium writes,
“While the contract winner, ENA submitted a higher bid than AT&T based on
bottom line figures only, their response
is significantly stronger in the areas of
service history and experience. Further,
ENA submitted proof - as required in the
RFP - of their capacity to meet all the
deadlines and service needs of the districts. AT&T on the other hand, ignored
that requirement and chose not to provide such proof in their proposal.”
Phillips has said due to the large number of Tennessee school systems affected
by this, Governor Bill Haslam, Senator Bob
Corker and U.S. Congressman Diane Black
are all getting involved, and called the situation “high-level corporate wrangling.”

The Sumner County Commission passed a measure Monday night
to pay an architectural firm over
$275,000 in remaining fees for work
done on additions and renovations to
Beech and White House high schools.
While the vote was a lopsided
21-0 with one abstention, it did not
come without criticism.
“Two-hundred seventy-five thousand dollars (on architects) will not buy
a brick or a bucket of paint,” said District 2 Commissioner Larry Hinton of
Portland. “To me, that’s a lot of money

cent of the roughly $1.2 million total
fee which the firm is billing the county.
“Any time we bid a job, we initially
pay 75 percent of the architectural
fees,” said County Executive Anthony
Holt. “The architectural fees are a percentage of the building cost. We never
know what 100 percent of the architectural fees are going to be – they’re only
estimated – until the bid is put out,
and then we know exactly what that is.
So this is the last of the 25 percent of
fees owed to actually complete the contract with the architectural firm.”
Fees for architects are one of the
contracts with whom the county
does not have to put out to bid under
state law because they are considered
“professional services.”
“I know there is a (state) law that
applies to architects and engineers,
and I understand that,” Hinton said.
“But $275,000; just this one item
would pay three people sitting at an architectural firm $91,000 apiece, but we
need to be just a little bit creative when
spending money that doesn’t add to
the landscape of things we want.

he has been friendly with everyone he’s met while at the
shelter. Red is fully vaccinated, neutered and tested heartworm negative. He should be an inside member of the family with outside privileges. Alexandria is a 2-month-old Boxer mix. She was in really rough shape when she came into our shelter but is doing

Chamber News
Floods of Duds consignment
sale opens Sept. 23
Dean to speak at chamber luncheon
From Staff Reports
From Staff Reports
In a little more than a month, the deals will be
flowing at Hendersonville First United Methodist
Church (HFUMC). Wednesday, Sept. 23, the Floods
of Duds semi-annual consignment sale will open to
the community.
Items collected for the sale include gently used
children’s clothes, toys, costumes, maternity wear,
youth sports attire, infant bedding and more.
HFUMC is committed to providing a quality sale to
the public; items must be in good condition to be accepted – stained or damaged items will not be allowed
into the sale.
HFUMC is currently accepting volunteers to assist
with the sale. Childcare will be provided for volunteers during their shifts, and those who volunteer will
receive pre-sale passes. Volunteer registration is available at www.floodsofduds.com. Individuals should
be sure to note if they need childcare at the time of
registration.
The fall sale will be held Wednesday, Sept. 23
through Friday, Sept. 25 in HFUMC’s gym. Friday
evening will be the traditional sale discount night.
For more than a decade, the Floods of Duds consignment sale has been raising funds for the Children’s Ministries at HFUMC. The church hosts two
sales each year - one in the spring and one in the fall.
Proceeds from the sales allow HFUMC to provide
Bibles for its children, a one-of-a-kind Confirmation
experience, and the annual Vacation Bible School,
among other special activities and community events.
The Floods of Duds sale is organized and managed
by volunteers. The event enlists nearly 300 sellers and
roughly 600 volunteers who will put in nearly 1,700
volunteer hours.
More information can be found at www.floodsofduds.com.

Music City Autoplex
is ready for business
Stop by for a free milkshake
By JACQUELYN ANDERSON
Music City Autoplex, a used car dealership located at 2430 Gallatin Road in Hendersonville, is ready for your business.
Recently moved to their new location,
the business will be hosting an official grand
opening on Sept. 1, but they are already providing service online. Photos of all of their
vehicles as well as carfaxes are all available
on their web site for customers to see.
The Autoplex offers a wide variety of cars
to choose from, including Mercedes, BMWs,
Lexus, jeeps, trucks, SUVs, Suburban’s,
Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, and vans.
They currently have 150 cars on the lot, all
available for perusal, purchase or trade.
For every vehicle that the lot acquires, a
135-point inspection is conducted if there
is no factory warranty on said vehicle. If
everything is in order, the vehicle is certified, and with the certification comes a
warranty for those who buy or trade for
the car. It comes with three months—or
3,000 miles—that covers the motor and
transmission, and there is no deductible.
This gives the customer peace of mind that
nothing will mess up or malfunction right
after the vehicle is purchased.
As far as financing is concerned, the
Autoplex works with 20 institutions from
banks to credit unions, which is proof that
it is a fair business.
Built from the ground up on a
$4,000,000 property, the Autoplex sports
eight 60-inch televisions, free snacks,
cokes, and water for customers to enjoy.
Additionally, a milkshake bar will become available after the grand opening.
The milkshakes are also free, available to
anyone whether they purchase a car or not.
They hope to create a family-friendly environment in which customers and visitors
alike will feel welcome and comfortable.
One thing that is unique about the Autoplex is the fact that it hires its employees
to retire, which means that they will work at
the Autoplex until retirement unless they
leave of their own volition. It is unheard of
in the car dealership business, which makes
the Music City Autoplex truly one of a kind!
Another thing you can expect only at Music City Autoplex is their method of pricing.
While other dealerships will price as highly
as possible to see what they can get for a
car, the Autoplex has a software program
that displays the same or similar vehicles as
well as their prices within a 250-mile radius
of the lot. This allows customers to find the
best deal and shows that the business is not
merely pricing, but they are pricing competitively with other dealerships.
They also offer a surprisingly generous referral fee. If you have been a customer of the
business before—whether you bought a car or
not—and you send someone else, you will receive $100. However, if you come in with someone else and buy a car, you will receive $300!
While the current location is new, the business itself is already known nationwide. They
have served customers from other states, and
other dealerships are going to be opened in
Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Fort Lauderdale.
With all their unique offers and methods, the Music City Autoplex is a wonderful place to visit to find your next car with
the help of honest employees and familyfriendly hospitality.

Wilson Bank & Trust rated among top in nation
BALLET
From page 11
From Staff Reports
In recent rankings, financial industry sources have placed Wilson
Bank & Trust among the top banks in
the nation as well as the state.
Most recently, on its 2015 scorecard,
Bank Director Magazine ranked Wilson
Bank as one of the top performing banks
in the country, placing Wilson Bank &
Trust at number fifteen among banks with
assets of $1 billion to $5 billion. The publication’s rankings are scored by profitability,
capital adequacy and asset quality.
Two other industry sources each
ranked Wilson Bank & Trust sixth
among the top banks in the state.
Banks Street Partners’ number six rating is based on net interest margin, noninterest income, overhead, asset quality
and return on average equity. Financial
Management Consulting Group, which
also rated WB&T at number six in Tennessee, uses an evaluation that incorporates similar criteria plus efficiency and
return on assets in its overall rakings.
WB&T also once again received the
highest five-star rating from Bauer Financial, Inc., based on March financial
data. The bank is poised to reach the
$2 billion mark in assets later this year.
“We’re blessed to operate in a great
banking market in Middle Tennessee,”
Wilson Bank & Trust, Chairman and CEO
Randall Clemons, said. “The communities
Wilson Bank & Trust’s executive team members include (l-r) President Elmer Richerson, Senior Vice President of Operations Christy Norton, Executive Vice President
John McDearman, Senior VP & CFO Lisa Pominski, CEO and Chairman Randall Clemons and Executive Vice President Gary Whitaker. WB&T was recently rated number
15 nationally among top banks in its size category by Bank Director Magazine, and
Wilson Bank also ranks among the top performing banks in the state according to
other industry sources. Photo submitted.
we serve have helped us become an institution that can meet all types of financial
needs, and with those capabilities, we’re
continually seeking ways to give back.”
Wilson Bank has also been recognized for more than financial stability
and success of late. In June, Wilson Bank
& Trust was named to the list of Top
Workplaces by The Tennessean, based
on an independent survey of employees.
Wilson Bank & Trust (www.wilsonbank.com), a member of the FDIC and
an Equal Housing Lender, currently
operates 26 full-service offices in eight
Middle Tennessee counties, offering
a full range of financial products that
include secondary market mortgage
loans and online banking services.
“Summer Intensive gives dancers the freedom to
fully concentrate on advancing their ballet training
without a school schedule,” Nashville Ballet’s Director
of Artistic Operations Sharyn Mahoney said. “By taking a wide variety of classes from ballet and contemporary to acting and musical theater, students leave
with the knowledge and skills to take their future performance opportunities to the next level.”
Summer Intensive students have the chance to
train with Nashville Ballet’s internationally recognized teachers and be seen by Artistic Director and
CEO Paul Vasterling. Nashville Ballet has five summer
intensive sessions for ages 11 and over, ranging from
one to five weeks.
“This program is special because students not only
receive quality ballet training, but they get a real sense
of what Nashville the city is like,” Mahoney said. “Students have the opportunity to stay at nearby Belmont
University and go on organized trips to museums,
botanical gardens and parks. They are encouraged to
explore outside of the classroom to see how our company fits into the city’s artistic community.”

Bucs will face
physical Wildcats
in opening game
hendersonvillestandard.com
Beech preps for start of season with BGA win
By TOMMY BRYAN
Wilson Central’s sixth year head coach Brad Dedman is
hoping a solid off-season and an energized roster will translate
into positive results as the 2015 football season approaches.
“I can’t say enough about this bunch,” Dedman said of his current squad. “They deserve a pat on the back. During the off-season
they have been some of the hardest-working kids I’ve been around.
These kids are special and I’m proud of where they are right now.”
Wilson Central’s double wing offense will feature a hint
of the option as well as a power run game with junior Tyler Bowes (5-10, 190) as the focal point.
Last year as a sophomore, Bowes enjoyed a solid season
leading the team with 595 yards on 115 carries (5.2 per
attempt) and scoring seven touchdowns.
Three times he eclipsed the 100-yard mark with most
of his work coming in the second half of the year.
Three-year starter Jordan Wilson (5-10, 180) ran for
318 yards on 71 attempts (4.5 per rush) and four scores. He
also completed a 23-yard touchdown pass off a trick play.
Jordan Hooper (5-9, 175) returns for his senior season after having accumulated 237 yards on 47 tries (5 yard
per carry) and scoring twice.
“We’ve got six or seven guys we can rotate in at the
wing spots, guys we would be very comfortable with at any
point in the game,” Dedman said.
“That’s something we haven’t had at Wilson Central, a
lot of depth at the wing positions.”
The Wildcats will be looking for some new faces in the
passing game as junior Blake Meador inherits the QB position while the receiver spots will be manned by senior Caleb
Tate along with juniors Colton Dowell and Spencer Welch.
“Blake has a pretty good arm and throws well on the run,”
Dedman said. “We’re trying to run him a little bit in our midline
option game because he’s a bit of a bruiser, tough to bring down.
“Our receivers are blocking well on the edges and because of that we’re running the ball pretty well. With that,
our play-action game should help our guys get open.”
Three-year veteran Alex Comer (6-5, 280) moves to right tackle
after having started at guard and center previously in his career.
Senior Brandon Bennett (6-4, 250) will start at left
tackle while the inside spots are manned by Cody MacLennan (5-9, 200, Sr.), Gannon Starnes (6-3, 280, Jr.)
and Coleman Ladd (5-10, 220, Jr.)
Defensively, Wilson Central will transform into a 3-4 look
after having played an even front for the past several years.
“We made the transition due to a lack of depth in the defensive line,” Dedman said. “We’ve got four new guys playing in
the secondary two sophomores, a junior and a converted linebacker. The future is bright back there -- we’re still learning.”
A three-man rotation will man the inside linebacker spots
-- Nic Screnock, Chris Lackey and Wilson with some help
from up and coming sophomore Cameron Marshall.
The defensive line features two returning starters at
tackle -- Noah Stafford and Zack Buford along with junior nose Cole McCorkle.
“If we can make people earn touchdowns and field goals by driving the football, then as a defense, we’ve done our job,” Dedman said.
Lanky junior Adam Williams returns to hand both the
placekicking and punting chores for the Wildcats.
The soccer-style kicker was a perfect 37-of-37 PAT tries
in 2014 and added two field goals. He also punted 15 times
for an average of 31.7 yards.
Wilson Central opens the season Aug. 21 at home vs.
Beech High.
“We’ve had some good battles with Beech over the past
several years,” Dedman said.
“They like running the football, we like running the
football, they like playing physical defense and we do too.
It ought to be a great game to start the season.”

By ADAM BROWN
In their last preseason scrimmage before the start of the season,
the Beech High School Lady Buccaneers soccer team played host to
Battle Ground Academy last week in
what proved to be a one-sided affair.
Beech wasted little time getting
the initial score on the board. Natalie Lankster received a centering
pass from senior Kendon Curtis
with 38:55 to play in the first half.
The sophomore Lankster booted the
ball past BGA goalkeeper Aracely
Turcois to give the Lady Bucs an
early advantage, 1-0.
“I just told the girls to come
out relaxed and have fun tonight,”
Beech head coach Tim Guinn said.
“I wanted the girls to work on what
we have been working on in practice. We started strong and that
helped us. It settled us down.”
Beech continued to apply pressure throughout the first half. Sierra Robinson placed two Lady
Buc corner kicks in front of the
net shortly after Lankster’s goal
but failed to connect with Kendra
Mueller.
A shot by Macey Croft with
20:40 to play in the first half required a diving save by Turcois, but
subsequently led to a third Beech
corner kick. Robinson connected
with Curtis on the far post for an
easy goal and Beech owned a 2-0
lead with 20:12 to play in the first
half.
The Lady Bucs added their third
goal and final goal of the first half
five minutes later. Croft received a
centering pass from Mueller which
she put away for a 3-0 Beech lead.
Cailyn Meador sends a pass towards the BGA net.
“We needed this game,” Guinn
said. “We scheduled a tough preseason schedule and it turned out
to be tougher than we originally
thought. We have been taking a
beating pretty good. This was a
good tune up for us before we start
our season.”
Beech added its fourth goal 12
minutes into the second half. Curtis found room out in front of the
BGA net and placed the ball behind
Turcois to secure a 4-0 advantage.
BGA would not be shutout, however, as they added the final goal of
the scrimmage with 1:35 to play.
“We are still trying to figure out
our lineup,” Guinn said. “I know the
starters but don’t know the combination where we will click the most.”
One notable change in the lineup is that Allie Guinn is now in net.
Guinn was the Lady Bucs’ leading
scorer a season ago but has proven
her value as a goalkeeper. Guinn
had five saves against BGA.
In addition, the team is having
to deal with the void left by Jordan Mueller, who suffered an ACL
tear during basketball season a year
ago. She was slotted to return to
the Lady Bucs lineup this fall, however, during a recreational volleyball
match, Mueller reinjured the same
knee and required another surgery.
The University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga commit will not only
miss her senior soccer campaign but
the basketball season as well.
“It is a huge loss for us,” Guinn
said of losing Mueller. “Jordan does
so much for us. She led the team on
the field. It is not going to be easy
to play a season with her absence.”
In addition to the lineup changes, Beech will have to replace six seniors lost to graduation.
“We are building for district
play,” Guinn concluded. “We are
getting better each time we take the
field.”
Beech will host White House tonight at 7 p.m.

Bison sweep Wave and Panthers
By ADAM BROWN
GALLATIN -- With golf season underway, Gallatin played host to two District
9-AAA opponents on Tuesday afternoon.
Both Station Camp and Portland made
the trip to Long Hollow Golf Course for
the 1 p.m. start.
The Bison boys came away with a victory
over their Panther and Green Wave counterparts with a combined round score of 297.
Heath Petty and Jordan Powell led the
charge for the Bison with low-round scores
of 73. Jordan Webb took a 75 into the clubhouse and Jacob Nolen followed with a 76.
Portland claimed a second place finish with a total of 351. Carter Davenport took top honors for his Panthers
with a round of 81. Nick Lingo had an
83, Lucas Harper scored a 92 and Alex
Meadors inked a 95.
Gallatin’s John Austin Short placed
an 86 on the board to take the top honors for the Green Wave. Daniel Gornicki had a 91 on the day. Laik Martin
finished with a 99 and Austin Patterson
ended the day with a 97. Gallatin had a
combined score of 373.
On the ladies’ side, Station Camp completed
the sweep with a combined 159. Ellie Bloodworth had a low round score on the day to finish
with a 75. Sydney Koch marked an 84.
Gallatin claimed a second place finish
with a 223. Mary Allison Ladd finished
the day with a 110 while teammate Katelyn Curtis had a 113. Anna Hopkins
had a 58 through nine holes.
For Portland, Alexis Agee wrapped
the day with a 101 and Danyssa Diseker
finished with a 124 for a combined 225.

Hunter claims win over Bears in jamboree
By ADAM BROWN
MT. JULIET--The T.W. Hunter Middle School
football team had their final scrimmage of the
preseason last Friday in a jamboree played at
Mt. Juliet High School.
The young Buccaneers took the opening possession of the contest and compiled a 17-play,
65-yard scoring drive to take the lead. From
there, Hunter never looked back.
Runningback Wes Hyde capped the scoring
drive with a 17-yard run with 55 seconds to play
in the opening quarter. With the two-point attempt good, Hunter was out in front, 8-0 over
Mt. Juliet.
Mt. Juliet answered with a sizable drive of its
own to tie the contest at 8-8 with 2:55 to play in
the half.
Hunter wasted little time regaining the lead.
Quarterback Jackson Bryan connected with
Jackson Gowan for a 15-yard touchdown pass
with 30 seconds left in the contest. With a successful two-point conversion, the Buccaneers
took a 16-8 lead.
A late interception by the Buccaneers defense
sealed the contest.

In their final tune up before
playing host to McGavock on Friday night, Hendersonville traveled
to Cross Plains to partake in what
has become an annual event for
the Commando football program
- the Robertson County Jamboree.
The Commandos faced Springfield in varsity action and the two
squads played two quarters of play.
Hendersonville came out on top in
the contest, 16-7.
Hendersonville forced Springfield to punt in their opening possession thanks in part to stops
by Frankie Small and Weston
Schwerdt.
Once the Commandos took
over, Mike Harris had a sizable
run off the right side. Jack Towe
then took it 28 yards to the end
zone and Jacob Harris hit the extra point to give the Commandos a
7-0 lead.
The Commandos defense held
Springfield to three and out on the
ensuing possession. It looked like
Hendersonville had scored again
on a John Oehlschlaeger pass
to Harris, but a penalty on the
play called it back and Harris then
made a 33-yard field goal to give
Hendersonville a 10-0 advantage.
The Commandos scored again
when Small took it in from five
yards out. Anthony Hughes had a
long run on the drive.
Springfield scored in the second quarter courtesy of a 30-yard
gain on fourth and long.
Hendersonville plays host to
McGavock on Friday night at 7
p.m.
Experience to meet Bison in Clarksville
By ADAM BROWN
The Clarksville Wildcats
faithful will be the first to tell
you that the 2014 football season was one of ups and downs.
But that was a season ago and
the Wildcats, under the tutelage of head coach Isaac Shelby,
are positioned to improve on
last year’s 5-6 record. They
hope to start down that path
Friday night when they host
Station Camp.
Clarksville will be a much
more experienced team this
season as 17 starters return to
the line-up.
Much like their Bison counterparts, the Wildcats will have
a new leader at quarterback.
J.J. Jones is expected to re-
ceive the nod at signal caller.
In the backfield, Kauthar
Adamson and Brevon Johnson return to the lineup. They
combined for over 1,000 yards
rushing a year ago and are expected to make a bigger impact
in 2015. They will be joined by
Antoine Gallion and sophomore Bobby Jackson in the
backfield.
When passing, Jones will
have a variety of receivers from
which to choose. D’Vaughn
Whitt,
Daniel
Dean,
K’marhie Dix and Deonte
Northington are expected to
see considerable time on both
sides of the football. Dix could
enter the game at quarterback
in a wildcat set.
Matt Ballard, Rakavian
Poydras, Jakob Speta, Lane
Cox, Cody Lane and Cody
Spurgeon are all expected to
play in the trenches.
Clarksville and Station
Camp had only one common
opponent last season – Ravenwood. The Raptors ended Station Camp’s season in the playoffs and defeated Clarksville in
the 2014 opener, 41-7.

eligibility to play at Hendersonville High
School. Photo courtesy of 247 Sports
By ADAM BROWN
It is no secret that JoeJuan Williams
is a talented athlete with a bright future
ahead of him. However, with the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s ruling on Friday, those that
had hoped to see Williams perform for
the Hendersonville High School Commando football team in 2015 won’t get
that opportunity.
Williams, a four-star defensive back
and recent transfer from Father Ryan
High School, applied to the TSSAA for
eligibility on a hardship basis, but that
request has been denied.
Hendersonville High School Principal Bob Cotter released the following
statement regarding Williams:
“Upon admission to HHS, JoeJuan’s
family approached the administration
about his ability to play football at HHS.
On the family’s behalf and at their request, we applied for hardship application to allow JoeJuan to participate.
The TSSAA has denied that hardship
application. We will follow that ruling
as issued by the TSSAA and move forward. We wish JoeJuan the best as he
moves forward with his future athletic
pursuits. “
Williams led the defensive backfield
for the Irish a season ago with 48 tackles, two interceptions, 11 pass break
ups, one forced fumble and two fumble
recoveries.
To date, Williams has 34 Division-1
offers, including one from nearly every
Southeastern Conference team. The 6-2,
195lb. defensive back was considered by
many to be a top candidate for the 2015
Mr. Football Award.

MT. JULIET -- Back and forth action set the stage for the meeting between the freshman Buccaneers and
their Mt. Juliet counterparts last Saturday. Beech travelled to Mt. Juliet to
partake in the Bears and Bucs Kickoff
Bash jamboree.
After receiving the ball to start

turned the ball over on downs. A 12yard scoring effort moved the Bears
out in front, 14-8. The score remained
unchanged for the final 2:23 of play.
Beech begins its freshman season
at home on Aug. 20 as they face Wilson
Central. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
Bulldogs and Bison play to a tie
By ADAM BROWN
The Lady Bison opened their soccer
season on Tuesday afternoon with a road
trip to Bulldog country. After 80 minutes
of play, the contest stood as it began, tied.
Smyrna scored first in the first minute of the second half. The deflected ball
found its way behind goalkeeper Morgan Schlarb for the go-ahead goal.
Ten minutes later, Station Camp
knotted the contest, 1-1, when Me-
gan Binkley collected a rebound effort
from Ariana Orellana’s shot and sent
it home.
Station Camp nearly scored the
game winner as time expired but the
shot by Katie Koumiss clanked off the
post.
The Lady Bison were set to begin
their season on Monday but Mother
Nature stepped in and postponed
their meeting with Cookeville. The
game with the Lady Cavaliers has been
moved to Sept. 3.
Station Camp will host West Creek
on Thursday beginning at 6 p.m. The
Lady Bison will host their annual Bison
Cup beginning on Aug. 25.
The Bison Cup will run through Aug.
29 with matches against White House
(Aug. 25 at 7 p.m.), Walker Valley (Aug.
28 at 4 p.m.) and Rossview (Aug. 29 at
1p.m.). The Bison Cup Championship
will be held on Aug. 29 beginning at
5:30 p.m. at Bison field.
Hands full for Knights on Friday night
By ADAM BROWN
The Pope John Paul II Knights will
have their hands full on Friday night as
they play host to the Memphis Melrose
Golden Wildcats.
Favored to win Region 8-3A, the
Golden Wildcats finished the season a
year ago with an overall record of 8-3;
earning a trip to the state playoffs before losing to Hardin County, 35-34.
Melrose is under new leadership as long
time coach Eddie Woods vacated the position and Chester Ford has taken over.
If that name sounds familiar, it is
for a reason. Ford was a former a running back for the University of Tennes-
see. The Danville, Ky. native served as
running back for the Volunteers from
1992-96. Ford will bring plenty of talent with him Friday night.
Melrose will be led by seniors Quemon Hayes and Paris Wilson. The
two are versatile athletes that will see
considerable playing time on both sides
of the ball.
Juniors DeQuan Dallas and Kendrick Jones are also vital components
to the Melrose squad. Much like Hayes
and Wilson, Dallas and Jones offer
both athleticism and versatility. They
will be found along the perimeter, in
the backfield and on the defensive side
of the ball for the Golden Wildcats.
Size is another factor that Melrose
brings to the table. DaArius Visor (61, 290), Elijah Ellis (6-3, 250), Kavon
Woods (6-1, 245), Chrishun Woods
(6-3, 265) are all expected to play along
the trenches.
Ahdai Paige is expected to be the
quarterback.
Last season Melrose had three shutouts and held opponents to 12 points
or fewer in five contests. Offensively,
the Golden Wildcats posted an average
of 43 points per game during the regular season.
Melrose won state championship
titles in 1996 and 1998.
Kickoff from JPII is set for 7 p.m.

Station Camp falls to Trousdale in Tobacco Bowl
By RUSSELL VANNOZZI
The Station Camp High School football
team went into Friday night’s Tobacco Bowl
not overly concerned about the final score.
The Bison were looking to get every player
some game experience and were able to do so
in their final preseason scrimmage. However,
Station Camp fell to Trousdale County 19-7.
The game gives head coach Shaun Hollinsworth and his staff a chance to work out the
kinks for this week’s season opener at Clarksville.
“I thought we did some good things at
times. We came out here tonight under
the lights trying to get everybody into the
game. I was disappointed in a couple of the
big plays we gave up,” Hollinsworth said.
Station Camp won the coin toss and
elected to receive. With it being a preseason
game, the ball was placed at the thirty yard
line instead of risking potential injuries on
kickoffs. The game was also only two quarters instead of the normal four.
Sirtavious Perry kept the Bison’s first
drive alive by bursting through the line for
a first down on a fourth and one situation.
That paid dividends as quarterback Tyler
Thompson threw a 60-yard pass touchdown
pass to junior wide-out Marcus Devault.
Devault was able to separate himself from
the Yellow Jacket defender just enough to
catch Thompson’s pass and sprint to the
end zone. Eli McCormick’s extra point was
good to give the Bison a 7-0 lead.
Thompson appears to be ready to take
A battle in the trenches is about to begin
over the Bison quarterback spot, which
previously belonged to current Vanderbilt
tight-end Kyle Anderton. Much like Anderton, Thompson may see action at multiple positions, but the Bison coaching staff
would prefer to keep their quarterback as
fresh as possible.
“(Tyler) may return some punts for us.

He’ll fill some roles here and there. But he
won’t do too much of that, we have other
guys that can step up to make sure he stays
fresh for offense,” Hollinsworth mentioned.
The Bison defense looked stout on Trousdale County’s first drive. Junior linebacker
Hunter Scholato had two tackles for loss
and teammate Chris Dunavin also came up
with a stop to force a punt. On the next Trousdale possession, quarterback Trace McGuire
threw a 50 yard touchdown to wide-out Matt
Thomas. Thomas made a diving grab in the
end zone to even the score at seven.
McGuire put the Yellow Jackets in the red
zone after sprinting past the Bison defense
for a 50 yard gain. McGuire then tossed a
touchdown to junior wide-out Tanner Lannom to take the lead. Trousdale managed a
third and final touchdown, a 55-yard rush by
Keyvan Byars. The Yellow Jackets missed
both extra points but took the victory.
Perry, Kaemon Dunlap, Perry Foxx,
and Stefan Bristol carried the bulk of the
load in the Station Camp backfield. The Bison ran the ball well, but several runs were
called back for holding penalties
“(Penalties and turnovers) just need to be
cleaned up. Playing tonight should hopefully
get some of the jitters out,” Hollinsworth said.
With fall camp now in the rear view mirror,
the Bison turn their attention to the Clarksville
Wildcats. Friday’s game will be uncharted territory as the two teams have never met in the
regular season, although each team did finish
the 2014 season with identical records (5-6).
“We’re excited. It’s been a long and
physical fall camp. We’ve played some really tough opponents. You always see a
difference for that first game week. Kids
are uplifted and it’s crunch time now,” Hollinsworth concluded.
Kickoff is set for 7 pm at Hilda J. Richardson Field in Clarksville.

SEPTEMBER 26
Jamaal Thompson finds an opening.
By ADAM BROWN
The Pope John Paul II High School
football team concluded its preseason
last week with a long road trip to Marshall County. The meeting served as Marshall County’s jamboree.
The two squads played to a 48-48 tie
after four quarters. The Knights varsity
edged the Tigers 21-20 before reserves
took the field for the conclusion of the
evening.
Though the Knights walked away with a
varsity win, they had their hands full with
wide-receiver Jay Howard and the passhappy Tigers. Howard scored two of the
three varsity touchdowns for the Tigers
and hauled in six receptions for 79 yards.
Marshall County established a lead
on their first possession on an Ashton
Posey pass to Howard with 8:30 to play
in the first quarter.
The Tigers placed their second touchdown on the board four minutes later.
The Posey to Howard connection worked
again for a touchdown covering 22 yards.
After being held scoreless throughout
the first quarter, Knights closed the gap
following a pair of Marshall County turnovers. Quarterback Ben Brooks scored
on a short run and then Quer’Derius
Hunter put the Knights on top with a
10-yard scoring run. Jackson Morris
added the extra point to give JPII a 14-13
advantage. Hunter’s run came with 9:35
remaining in the first half of play.
JPII took the lead for the final time
during varsity action on a 34-yard run by
Hunter with 1:55 to play before halftime.
JPII will host an athletic Melrose
squad for their season opener Friday at
7 p.m.

Hendersonville Christian Academy
began their 2015 season last week
hosting Riverside Christian.
Though the Crusaders forced two
early Riverside turnovers, HCA came
out on the short end of a 42-8 final.
“Despite the scoreboard there were
many bright moments and the guys
never quit playing all the way till the
final whistle,” HCA first year head
coach Tyler Alexander said. “We made
some mistakes but that is all a part
of the growing process. We are young
with only three seniors and are making huge improvement every week.”
The HCA defense held the Knights
to 16 points in the first half. Ian Conner fell on a loose ball on the second
play from scrimmage. Tanner Sturgis recovered a second Knights turnover on the next Riverside offensive
possession.
Despite the turnovers and field
position, the Crusaders’ offense did
not manage much production. HCA
was held to 55 yards of total offense
throughout the entire contest.
Justin Bader forced another Riverside turnover during the third quarter. Along with several pass deflections in the contest, Bader snagged
an interception midway through the
third.
“The defensive backs started out
the game slow but improved their coverage in the second half,” Alexander
said.
Offensively, there were some
bright spots but the Crusaders struggled with wild snaps in the second half
that led to turnovers in Riverside territory. Starting quarterback Peyton
Shoulders (sophomore) took a hard
hit in the second quarter and did not
return to the lineup.
“Freshman Jack Antemann came
in and showed some good decision
making and creativity,” Alexander
said.
HCA found their way onto the
scoreboard on a 64-yard kickoff return
by Noah Jacobs. Andre Hambrick
powered in for the two-point conversion.
“We will get back to work on Monday to fix our mistakes and begin to
prepare for a big MTAC North Division
game on Friday against St. Andrews
Sewanee in the first road game of the
season,” Alexander concluded. “I was
very proud of our guys and the fight
they showed.”

From Staff Reports
The Sumner Academy Running Club
program held its first practice of the year
on August 11th, to prepare for the upcoming Cross Country season. What makes
this year different from the rest? The number of meets the students will run this year.
“Traditionally our elementary runners only
run 2-3 meets a year.” says Scott Morris,
Athletic Director. “However this year we
will be competing in fivemeets and for the
first time in several years will be traveling
to compete.”
Running Club is part of the Hawks Nest
Athletics program that offers students in
Grades K-4 an opportunity to learn the
sports that are offered to the Middle School
students. “This is our 3rd year of the Hawks
Nest program and it has been very successful.” says Morris “To see our younger athletes come out and begin to learn the skills
necessary to compete at the Middle School
level will only make our Athletics program
stronger!”
That was evident last year, as runners in
the K-2 and 3rd - 4th grade division, helped
Sumner Academy finish first at the meets
they competed in. “ They worked very hard
last season to accomplish that goal and as a
Coach it is very rewarding seeing the smiles
on their faces when they realized what they
accomplished.” If you would like to see the
Sumner Academy Running Club or the
Cross Country Team compete this season,

Tennessee’s upward-trending divorce rate is the nation’s 10th highest,
according to the National Center for
Health Statistics.
Tennessee Department of Health
records show that during 2009 to 2013,
total divorces increased by 3.75 percent, while total new marriages decreased by 2.8 percent.
This reminds me of 200 words quoted by the Tennessee Court of Appeals
in several opinions involving divorce
and parenting.
In 1994, “Dear Abby” published
remarks by Judge Michael Haas of
Walker, Minnesota, at the end of a
difficult divorce trial:
“Your children have come into this
world because of the two of you. Perhaps you two made lousy choices as
to whom you decided to be the other
parent. If so, that is your problem and
your fault.
“No matter what you think of
the other party – or what your family thinks of the other party – these
children are one-half of each of you.
Remember that, because every time
you tell your child what an “idiot” his
father is, or what a “fool” his mother
is, or how bad the absent parent is, or
what terrible things that person has
done, you are telling the child half of
him is bad.
“That is an unforgivable thing to do
to a child. That is not love. That is possession. If you do that to your children,
you will destroy them as surely as if
you had cut them into pieces, because
that is what you are doing to their
emotions.
“I sincerely hope that you do not
do that to your children. Think more
about your children and less about
yourselves, and make yours a selfless
kind of love, not foolish or selfish, or
your children will suffer.”
This advice is important not only
for married parents going through
divorce, but to all parents, whether
married or non-married.
