A two-vehicle wreck led to a car being fl ipped over in a yard at the 4900 block of Mercer Road.

Two vehicles were traveling down Mercer Road towards Interstate-40 late Tuesday afternoon on August 30. Authorities said that while the

driver of one vehicle tried to turn into her residence, a driver behind her crashed into her vehicle. The collision resulted in the vehicle being fl ipped over in a yard. The driver who caused the vehicle to fl ip noted that she didn’t see any turning signals or indication of a stop

from the vehicle in front of her, authorities said.

Both drivers didn’t appear to have any serious injuries authorities said, but the driver of the overturned vehicle was taken by ambulance.

Collision leads to overturned vehicle

Days after a fatal shooting took place in Brownsville, authorities fi nally caught their intended suspect.

The Brownsville Police Department was on the lookout for a suspect believed to have been involved in a shooting that took place on the evening of Wednesday August, 24.

Units responded to a report of a shooting on Lark Street in Brownsville. Authorities found two victims, a male adult and male juvenile who had both been shot.

The adult, Cedric Lamon Person, 36, from the 500 block of Robin Street was transported to Haywood Park Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The juvenile victim, who hasn’t been identifi ed, was airlifted to Regional Medical Center in Memphis and was listed in stable condition.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Lakendrick Deberry, 19, of Brownsville.

Deberry turned himself

in Monday morning, August 29 to Lauderdale County Authorities. Deberry may have been hiding out in that area prior to his arrest. He was transported to the Haywood County Jail later that day. Authorities had placed two warrants on Deberry, one for fi rst degree murder and attempted fi rst degree murder in the death of Person and shooting of the 16-year-old juvenile. Authorities have not revealed a motive for the shootings yet.

If you’re familiar with Dr. Alan Sterbinsky, then you already now that he’s a man known to wear and juggle many hats.

Besides serving as Stanton Mayor, Sterbinsky’s main hat stems from the tough yet rewarding fabric known as education.

Sterbinsky has served a number of years in the fi eld of education research. In fact, earlier this year, Sterbinsky became part of a special international sub-group aiming to improve school effectiveness and school data.

And up until next week, Sterbinsky served as the Director of Research and Accountability at Jackson Madison County Schools.

Starting September 6, Sterbinsky will be serving in that same role for Haywood County, bringing with him a wealth of immeasurable knowledge.

Besides his work at universities like Vanderbilt and the University of Memphis, Sterbinsky’s work has extended to tens of thousands of classrooms across the nation.

Having known Haywood County Superintendent Marlon King and his goal of wanting nothing but the best for Haywood County students, Sterbinsky’s choice of taking

Sterbinsky joins Haywood County School District“As long as we stay orderly,

people raise their hands and ask to be recognized, we’ll take questions,” County Mayor Franklin Smith began last Thursday, August 25. He was speaking to a crowded courtroom during the special public meeting to discuss the proposed county budget.

“But if we get out of order, we’re going to adjourn and go home. Now if we act like adults, then…I’ll stay and answer questions as long as you want to stay.”

The words spoken would be needed to quell the lively reactions and comments during public meeting. A special called county commission meeting followed on Tuesday August 30.

Prior to Thursday’s public meeting, the budget committee met for a special afternoon session that resulted in more cuts. For example, the tax rate lowered from $2.90 to $2.70.

Among the proposed cuts, included the county government spending less on

county employee’s insurance. The county usually pays $2,000 of an employee’s $5,000 premium. Employees would pay the fi rst $500, then the county would pay $1,500 and then the county employees would pay the next $3,000 under the proposed budget. County workers would also pay more on their premiums, with single workers paying $510 more and those with families paying $1,028 more.

The proposed one-time $500 bonuses for full-time employees and $250 for part-time employees were also completely cut out. These changes, along with various other cuts resulted in spending cuts of $249, 500.

Despite the attempt to assuage concerns from the public, many vocally still expressed their distaste for the proposed budget.

“You have to work effi ciently. You have spent us into a hole,” former mayoral candidate Larry Fitz said to a standing applause from the

crowd. “Our community has come together tonight to tell you that you’re heading in the wrong direction.”

“I had liked the Haywood County government because it always was run conservatively,” Haywood Company Plant Manager Steve Correa said. “This was true until we started spending money we didn’t have…We are going to put this burden on the taxpayers of Haywood County.”

It looks like county commissioners listened full and well to the public’s wishes.

Some county commission members discussed briefl y their idea on the proposed budget, and also stated their intention with their vote during Tuesday’s meeting.

“As far as the budget, we’re going to have to raise taxes. There’s no way to avoid it,” commissioner Bob Hooper said. “Respectively, I’m voting no on the budget due to the price in inmate healthcare.”

With the proposed budget, Haywood County will have

Stanton resident Nick Crafton is taking Haywood County to court.

Crafton fi led for a petition for judicial review an attempted amendment to the “comprehensive Growth Plan of Haywood County, as well as the panel of seven people who recommended an amendment to the Urban Growth Plan on June 13, 2011.

According to the document fi led in Chancery Court, Crafton claims “the convened panel was improperly constructed, did not deliberate on signifi cant impacts to the general welfare and took

arbitrary and capricious action in abuse of offi cial discretion on June 13 2011.”

The document names Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith, Brownsville Mayor Jo Matherne, Stanton Mayor Dr. Alan Sterbinsky, Audrey Blue, Clinton Neal, Joey Conner and Linda B. Baxter as those Crafton’s opponents.

Crafton believes that basically, along with an improperly constructed panel, they did not properly analyze or plan of population projections, likelihood of eventual incorporations, or

proportion of vacant land within “existing boundaries.” The subject of schools were not discussed, fi re protection or police presence. A roadway or other transportation plan was presented as well Crafton attests.

The document says that the main area of discussion with the plan’s amendment, Haywood County’s Rural Area Zip 38069 contain numerous communities, including Douglass, Mayhill, Keeling, Shepp, Dancyville, Fredonia and Ko-Ko of which no stakeholders of these lands were named to the panel.

Lisa Littlejohn of Ken-Ten Puller Association is shown presenting a check in the amount of $1,426.00 to Janice Parker, Chairman

of Haywood County Reading Railroad. Each year Ken-Ten Pullers Association holds a truck and tractor pull with proceeds going to

originations that benefit children of Haywood County. David and Lisa Littlejohn are promoters of the Brownsville event.

Influenza, or flu, season is right around the corner, and the Haywood County Health Department is ready to offer flu vaccine to area residents. A mass flu vaccine clinic will be held at the Haywood County Health Department on September 9, 2011 from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. This clinic is designed to allow people to be able to get in and out quickly.

“It takes about two weeks to be protected after you get the flu vaccine, so it’s a good idea to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available,” said

Shavetta Conner, M.D., and Regional Health Officer. “However, we will continue to vaccinate residents through the winter, or as long as we have vaccine available.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone become available in their community.”

Flu shots (and/or) FluMist nasal spray vaccine will be provided during the vaccination clinic. There will be a charge of $32 for Flu shots and $13.70 for FluMist. The cost for vaccines will

be charged on a sliding fee scale. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check and Medicare and TennCare can be billed. Private insurance will not be billed.

Appointments must be scheduled for the mass flu clinic. The Haywood County Health Department will start booking appointments on September 2, 2011 for the September 9, 2011 vaccination clinic. Please call the health department at (731) 772-0463 on September 2, 2011 to book your appointment.

Pretty soon, solar power may be the new black when it comes to energy in Haywood County. Earlier this summer, Stanton placed solar panels on the top of town hall thanks to a

grant.According to

Stanton Mayor, Dr. Alan Sterbinsky, the panels have worked out impressively so far, being able to at one time, “power 24 homes

for an entire day,” he said. They’ve also got a tracking system that not only can tell how much energy the panels are producing, but can even give you a reading on the weather.

It appears that all has not been too well within Haywood County Parks and Recreation.

The Haywood County Conservation Board is currently trying to resolve a major conflict between five employees of the Haywood County Parks and Recreation and Director Nancy Cates.

Employees brought up a number of allegations or wrong doing from Cates, including “harassment” and the improper use of

county property. The conservation

board held a meeting last week to hear from both Cates and the employees.

After listening to the employees and Cates, the board decided that both parties had problems and have placed the two in “anger management” and a counseling program Conservation Board Chair Carolyn Flagg said.

Cates has also been

placed in six-month probationary period, Flagg noted.

“We are working on solving the problems between Cates and the employees,” Flagg said.

The board is hoping to have things fully resolved by the end of this month.

The conversation board includes Chairman Flagg, Vice-Chairman Chris Lea, Kathy Ward, Jon Dennis, and Mike Matheny.

After many requests, the Haywood County University of Tennes-see Extension office will conduct a fall Master Gardener class. As we enter into the final phase of the 2011 growing sea-son, we gardeners know it will not be long until the leaves fall and frosty mornings greet each morning. Truthfully, I’ve wanted to do a fall class for quite some time. It’ll allow participants a chance to evaluate suc-cesses and failures from

this growing season, which will allow a jump start for 2012

The class will be taught each Thursday night (6 - 8:30 p.m.) beginning September 8 through October 9. A few of the classes taught this year are: landscape design, entomology (insects), weed management, plant pathology (diseases), backyard wildlife, soil fertility, selecting plant materials and vegetable gardening.

The Master Gardener program is one of the great activities conduct-

ed by the University of Tennessee Extension. I’m always amazed of the learning and sharing that takes place through Master Gardener partici-pants. The camaraderie that develops amongst gardeners in this pro-gram is fellowship in its truest form.

To sign-up for the $75 class come by the Uni-versity of Tennessee Ex-tension office (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.) located at 100 South Wil-son Street in Brownsville. For further details call the office at 772-2861.

“This is not the fi rst budget we have passed,” commissioner Robert Greene said. “This is not the fi rst tough budget….”We have a job to do. The people called us to do it. And we have to make some tough calls.”

“I just feel looking at this budget, there are some things that we have to cut,” commissioner John Gorman Jr. said.

The resolution for making budget appropriation for funding or spending on Haywood County Departments failed with a ten to nine vote against it. With 19 commissioners present, the resolutions would have needed a majority vote of 11 to pass.

Commissioner Charles Willis was absent.

Voting Yes were: Kathy Chapman, Janice King, Allen King, Robert Green, Jerry Smith, Leonard Jones, Robert Earl Thornton, Marjorie Vaulx and Joe Stephens.

Voting No were: Bob Hooper, Teddy Waldrop, Samuel Mathes, Richard Jameson John Gorman, Chris Lea, Becky Booth, Larry Gene Stanley, Jeffery Richmond and Wally Eubanks.

The tax rate rising from $2.38 to $2.70 failed even due to the votes being ten to nine in favor. It still needed 11 to win by majority.

Voting Yes were: Kathy Chapman, Janice King, Allen King, Robert Green, Jerry Smith, Leonard Jones, Robert Earl Thornton, Marjorie Vaulx, Joe Stephens and Becky Booth.

Voting No were: Bob Hooper, Teddy Waldrop, Samuel Mathes, John Gorman, Chris Lea, Larry Gene Stanley, Jeffery Richmond and Wally

Eubanks and Richard Jameson.

The vote for non-profi t contributions, which should equal to $245, 216 won with an 11 to 9 vote.

Voting Yes were: Kathy Chapman, Janice King, Allen King, Robert Green, Jerry Smith, Leonard Jones, Robert Earl Thornton, Marjorie Vaulx, Joe Stephens, Becky Booth and Jeffery Richmond.

Voting No were: Bob Hooper, Teddy Waldrop, Samuel Mathes, John Gorman, Chris Lea,

LarryGene Stanley, Wally Eubanks and Richard

Jameson.The budget will have

to hit the drawing board once again, although, Mayor Smith warned that the county will run out of money thanks to the failed budget. Tax bills will be delayed probably until the end of October, which will cause a cash fl ow problem for the county. The county may have to decide where to borrow money.

the position came “naturally,” he said.

Sterbinsky’s job will basically have him analyze the pros and cons of certain projects that could benefi t Haywood County Schools and students. He will do everything in his power

to make sure not only are proposed projects or procedures extremely benefi cial to Haywood County Schools, but will also measure its cost effectiveness.

The mayor seems excited at taking on the new position.

“I am very excited,” he said. “Together we’ll work to become better and get some goals in place. Marlon is a good leader. And good leaders like him we’ll need to work with to achieve our goals.”

The newest exhibit at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center is pulling in Civil War enthusiasts from all

over the area, including over 70 attendees at the opening reception of “Hoofbeats in the Heartland: Civil War

Cavalry in Tennessee” Friday, August 26.

The exhibit will run on until October 31.

Viewers of the exhibit were also treated to Civil War era fi ddle music performed by 13-year-old Mikaela Langley. Langley began violin lessons at the age of three and is a member of the Jackson Symphony Youth Orchestra. She is the daughter of Mike and Shelly Langley of Camden, Tenn. Her grandparents are Mr.

& Mrs. James Taylor of Brownsville, Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Wells Jr. of

Camden and the late Bobby Joe Langley and Jack Baynes.

NASHVILLE— In Tennessee, an estimated 800 men, women, and children die by suicide each year. More people die by suicide each year than from homicide, AIDS, or drunk driving. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 15-24 in Tennessee and throughout the entire nation. According to the Tennessee Department of Health, there were 965 recorded suicide deaths in our state, at a rate of 15.7 per 100,000 people. Both this number and the rate are the highest ever recorded for Tennessee. The last national rankings, published in 2007 by the American Association of Suicidology, placed Tennessee at 20th in the nation for suicides. In almost all cases, suicide can be traced to unrecognized, untreated, or poorly treated mental illness. It can happen to people of either gender, any race or ethnicity, and any economic

status. The average suicide death leaves behind six survivors—family and friends of the deceased—all of who are at increased risk for a suicide attempt themselves. As if the emotional and psychological toll were not enough, suicide and suicide attempts cost the state of Tennessee $1 billion a year in medical treatment, lost wages, and lost productivity.TSPN, along with other state and civic agencies, are joining forces to recognize the month of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The highlight of this observance will be our Suicide Prevention Awareness Day observance, scheduled for 10:30 AM on September 14 at Trevecca Community Church, located at 335 Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville. Deputy Governor Claude Ramsey will present a formal proclamation from the offi ce of Governor Bill Haslam declaring September

as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Similar proclamations have already been signed by city and county mayors across Tennessee.This event will also include the dedication of two new “Love Never Dies” Memorial Quilts. These quilts feature panels submitted by survivors of suicide, featuring pictures of their loved ones. The quilts are routinely exhibited at suicide prevention and mental health awareness events across the state, and have done much to put a human face on the problem of suicide, helping people look past both the stigma and the statistics.

More information about local and statewide Suicide Prevention Awareness Month events are available on the TSPN website www.tspn.org. Additional information on these events and TSPN is available from the TSPN central offi ce at (615) 297-1077.

I was talking to a friend and colleague the other day about some legal problems when he suggested that we have lunch together the next day.

Now, sharing a meal with a friend is a great thing, even if it’s only cheese and crackers, but I had a bunch of things I needed to get done the next day, three or four of them planned for the noon hour. I didn’t think I had time for lunch.

I said yes, however, because as I said, lunch with a friend is a special thing. I fi gured I would just work later in the day to get all my chores done.

But here’s the thing, I enjoyed my lunch break with my friend so much and felt so energized by it, that I was able to do everything on my calendar in record time, and I fi nished all my work earlier than usual that afternoon.

Modern productivity experts would not be surprised to hear my story. They have preached for years that taking reasonable breaks from work actually enables people to get more done, and done better, than working long hours at a time.

And the evidence is mounting up that this is especially true about lunch breaks. You do remember lunch breaks, don’t you? Sadly, many offi ce and retail workers do not, and if they take them at all, they do so without leaving the offi ce or store, eating instead at their desks. Often they continue to work, or catch up on their email, as they do.

Which brings up the subject of food at the offi ce. It’s everywhere, and people are eating it all day long. According to one survey, 97 percent of all offi ces have a microwave oven in them, and why not? Eighty-three percent of all offi ce workers say they eat either meals or snacks at their desks during the work day. Three- fourths of all offi ce workers say they eat lunch at their desks at least two or three days a week. Twenty-seven percent eat breakfast at the offi ce,

and one out of 25 even eats supper there.

And those who eat lunch at their desks, how long are their lunch breaks? Some 60 percent of them take only 20 minutes or less, and 20 percent give themselves only 10 minutes to fi nish their meals. One out of four never leaves his or her desk during the noon hour at all.

First of all, this poses a health risk. At least half of desk dining offi ce workers don’t wash their hands before eating; that’s a problem, and by the way, speaking of cleanliness, how clean are the desk/tables upon which they are spreading out the ham sandwich or Tupperware container of chili they brought from home and stored in the offi ce refrigerator?

Well, let’s put it this way. A 2007 study done by the University of Arizona found that the average offi ce desk has 400 times more bacteria on its surface than the average toilet seat does. And no, that’s not a typo.

Offi ce desks are fi lthy, and telephones and computer keyboards are even dirtier. Two-thirds of all offi ce desks are cleaned only once a month, or even less frequently. When people eat at their desks, and that’s where most people who eat at the offi ce do, crumbs, drippings and who knows what else get left behind. Think about it; would you eat at a restaurant that dirty?

But the risk of food borne illness isn’t the only reason not to eat lunch at your desk. There’s also the obesity factor. Many studies have shown that eating at your desk, or in front of a computer or television anywhere, makes you far more likely to snack during the remainder of the day. Why? Desk top dining is distracted dining, and distracted dining usually leads to greater food intake during the rest of the work day.

And in the average offi ce, there’s plenty of food to take in. There’s microwave popcorn, Girl Scout Cookies, band booster chocolate bars, donuts, half eaten

bags of chips and oh wait, somebody baked brownies last night.

“You’ve got to try these,” someone says, in front of the coworker who brought them, so you do.

“I’m going to make a McDonald’s run,” someone else shouts out. “Who wants an Egg McMuffi n?”

Why not? Everybody else is.

Food is everywhere and omnipresent in the average modern offi ce, much, if not most of it unhealthy junk food, and eating at your desk makes it that much harder to resist it.

There’s nothing good about eating at your desk, and more and more people are beginning to realize that. An organization known as The Energy Project has even launched a movement this summer called, Take Back Your Lunch Hour, to encourage people to get out of the offi ce and eat lunch like civilized people again. Otherwise, they fear, the noon meal goes the way of breakfast in America.

You do remember breakfast, don’t you?

More and more companies are buying into this idea, and they encourage, rather than discourage, their workers to take full lunch breaks, out of the offi ce, and they report the result has been a drop in burnout and attrition, less fatigue and irritability and dramatic increases in productivity. Workers who take lunch breaks come back to work more energized, more focused and more productive in the afternoon. Smart employers know this, and they realize an employee’s value to the organization if far more in the work he or she actually gets done than in the time they clock in doing it.

So why not try taking real lunch breaks for a while. They will do you good, and the boss will benefi t too.

And who knows, taking back your lunch hour may even be the fi rst step in taking back your life.

You do remember your life, don’t you?

Lets Do Lunch

One of the most common terms used to describe life these days is the word, “drama.”

Before delving into this term, I searched momentarily for a defi nition and came up with this one from the American Heritage Dictionary. Drama is described as “a situation or succession of events in real life having the dramatic effect or emotional content characteristic of a play.”

There is no doubt in my mind that our society is fi lled with too much drama featuring everything from spectacle and tragedy to occasional comedy. While many seem to be searching for a place fi lled with less drama these days, can such a place be found?

I am sometimes asked by members of the younger generation if we had such drama while I was growing up.

Certainly, there was some drama in our lives but not much. Most of our drama came in the form of pranks that were, for the most part, short lived and not really destructive.

One such drama took place on a brisk fall morning in the Bottom on one of the few days when I was able to sleep in.

I was defi nitely not an early riser in those days. In fact, I felt that only the good Lord should be up before 5 a.m. My mother, on the other hand, believed that no one should ever be in bed during the daylight hours unless they were overcome by a serious illness.

She was up that morning as usual before fi ve. Her fi rst order of the morning was to start the coffee perking. She just couldn’t hit high

gear without a caffeine boost from that fi rst cup of coffee.

While the coffee was brewing and spreading its aroma throughout the house, I heard the back door open as she headed out to the well. The clanging of the chain rubbing against the well pulley could be heard as she struggled to bring up that fi rst fresh bucket of water.

For a moment, there was absolute silence when suddenly she barged through the back door and come running back into the house. She was going through every room letting down windows and locking doors. “Get up and stay in the house,” she yelled, “there is a panther on the loose.”

It didn’t take long to realize that I wasn’t dreaming as my feet hit the fl oor pretty quickly that morning. After getting partially dressed, I headed to the front of the house and stuck my head out the door. There was some commotion

coming down the road. I heard someone yelling over and over, “Catch that panther!”

Within a moment, a dark streak came running down the road while being chased by someone carrying a big stick.

With the heart fl uttering, I darted back in the house trying to fi gure out what was going on. Surely, it wasn’t a panther, I thought. If it really was, why was our neighbor chasing it with a stick?

We all learned later that the panther wasn’t really a panther after all. Someone’s Great Dane had wandered into the community and was used as a prank by a neighbor who possibly had a little too much to drink.

I don’t recall anymore panther sightings, but occasionally we could expect similar circumstances when a person or persons within the community might experience that rare moment with too much spare time on their hands.

The couple met in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Tex. area and the October 15,

Dr. Salvucci see-ing patients in Brownsville

Dr. Thomas Salvucci, Cardiologist will see patients in Brownsville, starting September 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Residents will be able to see him at the Specialty Clinic across from Dr. White’s Office.

In Genesis 32:24-32, we fi nd Jacob wrestling with God. In the end, God cripples Jacob. As Jacob clings to God in agony, God asks, “What is your name?” The reply came, “Jacob.” (Jacob means deceiver). “No longer,” God said, “Your name is Israel!”

Today, you may be wrestling with God. You may be attempting to “work it out.” Whether it is your own salvation, or even after salvation. You may have plans and procedures, goals and aspi-rations. God may be calling you to obey him in certain areas and you refuse.

If you cling to Christ in faith, crippled and broken, understand-ing your weakness…Jesus will likewise transform you before the Father, from “de-ceiver” to “more than a conqueror.” So the question is… “What is your name?” (Gen. 32:27).

First-year Haywood football coach Slade Calhoun is not the kind of guy who likes to waste time. Some football teams use off weeks to relax a little, have a few half-speed practices without pads. That’s not Calhoun’s style. He spent the time between the Aug. 19 loss to Jackson Central-Merry and tomorrow’s District 13-AA opener at Crockett County working … hard. “I always work on the next opponent during an off week,” Calhoun said. “I think the bye week has been very beneficial. We’ve had two weeks to

work on Crockett County. We got to watch them live. We’ve had time for extra work, which we desperately needed.” The Cavaliers (0-2) lost to Jackson South Side 37-19 last week and 35-14 against Humboldt in Week 0. The team is breaking in a new coach after longtime head man P.A. Pratt retired from coaching after last season. Crockett has traditionally been a team that likes to run the ball almost exclusively out of the Wing T. Kevin Ward, formerly of Camden, is the team’s new coach. “They’re going to play pretty much like Crockett County always plays,” Calhoun said. “They’re

going to line it up and run the football. But with a new coach, they may throw it a little more.” Although Haywood lost 31-0 in the season opener, the Tomcats were able to move the ball down the field on several occasions.

The quarterback tandem of freshman Bryce Young and sophomore Montravious Currie combined to throw for nearly 100 yards. Calhoun said the quarterback plan will not change until somebody steps forward. “We’re going to play both quarterbacks,” Calhoun said, “and go from there.” Game time in Alamo is 7 p.m.


The Haywood High cross country team was in action Tuesday and several runners fared well. Denote Brown posted a 22:27 on the course in Trenton which was good enough for 22nd place.

“I’m not positive, but

I think that’s a Haywood High School record,” said first-year coach David Claybrooks. “He did a really good job under some tough conditions.”

The temperature Tuesday afternoon in Trenton was in the mid-90s and the grass track was very challenging, according to Claybrooks. “It really beat you up,” said Claybrooks. “Very

difficult. Very grueling. It was one of the toughest courses I’ve seen my entire life.”

Others completing the course for the Tomcats were Daniel Evans (46th), Prince Williams (61st) and Chris Swain (81st). The team will be back in action next Thursday at USJ.

The Haywood Lady Tomcats dropped their first two soccer games of the season, but first-year head coach Jessica Morgan has reason to be optimistic.

Last Friday the Lady Tomcats traveled to

Munford and lost 7-1, but Morgan liked a lot of things she saw. Eliza Ford scored an early goal to put Haywood ahead 1-0, a lead they held until the midway point of the first half. Munford, which is in a larger classification than Haywood, led the Lady Tomcats just 3-1 at the half. “I’m seeing a marked improvement in all of

them,” Morgan said. “If everybody stays with it, we have a chance to be good.” Morgan’s roster includes eight freshmen, seven sophomores, no juniors and four seniors. The team’s captain, sweeper Kimberly Nieto, is a just a sophomore. Ford, probably the team’s best scoring threat, is a freshman.

“We have a lot of young talent we can build up,” Morgan said. “Eliza, once she learns to control that awesome leg she has, will be unstoppable … Kim is a leader on the defense. So is (senior) Brenda Funez, our co-captain.”

Morgan has some experience coaching young people and getting soccer programs going. She was a captain on the

Crockett County High School team during its first year of existence and also oversaw the initiation of a youth soccer program in Alamo. Morgan has coached recreational soccer in Crockett County for the past seven years and has seen the impact it had on the high school program. “There is no youth soccer program in Haywood

County,” Morgan said. “When most girls get here, they may have played in middle school, but that’s it … Hopefully, in the next year or two, we can start a feeder program into the system that will bring kids who have been playing since they were kids.” Haywood returns to action Tuesday at home against Obion Central.

Lady Tomcats coach optimistic despite losses

What a wonderful evening we had on Tuesday, August 16, for Friends Night. A big, heartfelt “thank you” needs to be extended to Dr. Lee Ramsey for being our guest presenter for the evening. Dr. Ramsey, a professor at Memphis Theological Seminary, spoke about his book titled “Preachers and Misfits, Prophets and Thieves: the Minister in Southern Fiction.” Dr. Ramsey gave quite a spirited presentation and several readings from his work. Thank you, Dr. Ramsey, for being with us and sharing your book with us. If you weren’t there, you missed a great evening.
