Week number three of our contest had almost 300 entries and Ricky Steele of Selmer comes out the win-ner with just 4 misses. He missed Crockett County’s win over Milan, USC’s win over Stanford, Virginia Tech’s win over Ohio State, and Minnesota’s win over St. Louis.

There was an error in

the Covington vs Liberty game, it should have read Covington vs Northside, so that game was taken out and nobody won or lost that one.

Between late August and early September the Michie Storage Unit buildings, Ramer Mini-Storage units, and several storage units in Corinth, Miss. had several individual units broken into by Edith Spence and Adrian

Yarbrough. The McNairy County

Sheriff’s Office along with the help of Corinth Detective Heather Glass located sto-len property from these stor-age buildings in McNairy County, Hardin County and Alcorn County and is still recovering property from these thefts.

If anyone currently rents a

storage building in McNairy County they should check their units to be sure they haven’t been broken into. Edith Spence, age 39, of Ramer and Adrian Yarbrough, age 24, of Savannah, are both currently in custody on sev-eral Theft, Burglary, and Vandalism charges.

Some of the items stolen included; 12” subwoofers,

Sony flatscreen TV, Dell mini laptop, Xbox video game system, Polan law-mower, inflatable intex boat, trolling motor, personal lock box, scroll saw, hammer drill, game fisher boat motor, DVD movies, and other items.

At the Michie Storage units four locks were cut off the doors, with the cost of the locks estimated at $375 each.

The McNairy County Commission held their September meeting on Monday night with 20 of the 21 commissioners present.

Commissioner David McCullar was out of town and unable to attend. Mayor Ronnie Brooks welcomed the six new commissioners elected in the August 7th election, Greg Martin, Matt Wood, Steve Hunter, Aubrey Harris, Sandy Barnes, and John Talbot and stated that he looked forward to working with them.

Minutes of the August meeting were approved unan-imously and Mayor Brooks was elected unanimously to be the chairman of the com-mission. Road Commissioner Harvey Neal Smith gave an update on the road depart-ment noting that he had a complaint from a citizen wanting a road maintained, but he had advised the citizen that it was not a county road

and they couldn’t work on it. He also noted that work

on the Rowsey School Road Bridge was complete and they

had been able to do some pav-ing on a few roads.

“We have several roads that need repaving and I hope we

can come up with a plan to do some paving in the future.

With the assistance of the McNairy Regional Alliance, the City of Selmer was able to secure funding through the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s State Industrial (SIA) Program For the development of Industrial Highways for improvements to the road in the Selmer/McNairy County Industrial Park. The project was the direct result

of Spectrum Corporation’s growth and expansion into the former Selmer Apparel build-ing, a 53,000 sq. ft building adjacent to their existing loca-tion. The newly paved road will support increased trucking traffic for Spectrum and the three-hundred plus employ-ees that work throughout the Industrial Park.

MRA Executive Director Ted Moore, Selmer Mayor John Smith and McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks were joined by representative of Spectrum, Connector Castings and the McNairy County Developmental Services as they celebrated the newly paved road and the resulting improved driving conditions.

Citizens want their roads paved and I understand that, but we just don’t have the money,” said Smith.

He advised the commission that it took about $80,000 to pave a mile of roadway and there was not much state aid money available.

Commissioner Troy Moore addressed the problem stat-ing that about 14 years ago the commission had borrowed money to do some paving and that he would like to see a paving plan put in place with-out borrowing a large sum of money like they had done in

the past. Mayor Brooks asked that

Cheryl McNatt be consid-ered for the library board at the October meeting. Next the McNairy County 4-H National Winners were rec-ognized and presented with resolutions.

Judge Van McMahan was scheduled to present the pro-bation agreement to the com-mission, but was unable to attend.

The meeting then turned to discussion on the PEC prop-erty, which is approximately 7.5 acres that the county has

agreed to purchase. Mayor Brooks presented

the commissioners with dia-grams of some of the possi-bilities for using the property. The county clerk’s office, board of education offices, election commission office, and tax assessor’s office could be relocated there, which would open up some much needed room at the court-house.

The jail in the courthouse is now being used to store documents and those could be moved and the jail cleaned out. After some discussion a motion was made by Wiburn Gene Ashe to let the build-ing committee look at the

plan and come back before the commission with their thoughts and ideas on how best to use the property. The vote was unanimous.

Selmer Mayor John Smith then addressed the commis-sion asking that they consider letting the City of Selmer purchase the PEC property and the city would in turn sell the county three build-ings for $650,000 including the current city hall building and the utility department location, which has about 20 offices in it.

“This could be a savings of around $850,000 for the county and I just ask they you take a look at the proposal

and consider the cost sav-ings,” said Mayor Smith.

In the final item of busi-ness those named as Notaries of Public were: Beverly Henry, Darren Bowers,

Wayne Elam, Ronnie Brooks, Jackie Kennamore, and Patsy Lipford.

With nothing further the meeting was adjourned.

Snapshots of McNairy County History

Photo submitted by Nancy Kennedy

This week’s old photo is downtown Adamsville back in 1939. The view is looking east down Main Street.

The Town of Selmer held their monthly meeting on Tuesday night with a light agenda for discussion. Wilburn Gene Ashe led the opening prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Edward Smith. Minutes of the August meeting were approved unani-mously.

In department reports Police Chief Neal Burks stated that his department had worked 8 accidents and issued 226 cita-tions in the month of August. Fire Chief Anthony Carr noted that his department had worked 22 medical calls, 3 structure fires, 8 wrecks, and had answered 49 total calls. Chief Carr also advised that his department had been approved for a TML grant and he hoped to get the town a lower ISO rating in the near future.

Public Works Director Richard Ashe informed the board that they had pumped 71 million gallons of water

in August, sent out 355 late notices, cut off 69 for non pay-ment, and added 5 new water taps and 5 new gas taps. Joy Nichols, who lives on S. Sixth Street asked Mayor Smith why garbage had to be in individual bags before the garbage men would pick them up.

Mayor Smith explained that the garbage had to be trans-ported from the Cushman carts to the trucks and by it being placed in bags it wouldn’t blow out and litter the streets.

The board voted unani-mously to pass a resolution to help promote and increase recycling, which Mayor Smith said they were already doing.

They also approved closing a section of Houston Avenue behind the First Baptist Church. The church plans on building a multi-purpose building behind the church.

The final item of business was a motion by Alderman Chris Tull to suspend all ven-dor operations on city property

until a policy could be estab-lished and passed by the board.

“We have been advised by our Attorney Terry Abernathy that we need to have a policy in place due to the liability the city would be under if someone selling food or other items on city property had some type of accident that caused someone to get hurt,” said Tull.

“I’m not against any vendors or someone trying to make a living. We just need to have a policy in case someone gets injured on city property. It’s what our attorney has suggest-ed and that’s why I’m making this motion.”

Alderman John Smith sec-onded Tull’s motion and after some discussion on the mat-ter the motion passed unani-mously. The board will work together to come up with a policy related to vendors set-ting up on city property to sell their wares.

With nothing further the meeting was adjourned.

Selmer suspends vendors until policy can be established

By Bill Wagoner

County Historian THE EARLY YEARS It wasn’t easy for a 17-year-

old teenager, walking away from life out in Turkey Creek in Hardin County, TN.

It wasn’t easy, walking away from family and the atmo-sphere of it all. In the first place, Burnt Church, so called because the Union troops burned the church during the unrest of the days centering around a place called Shiloh Church, 20 miles to the south-west, is one of the most peace-ful places on earth.

But that’s what happened in the early ‘50’s. Wayne Jerrolds walked away from his beloved Burnt Church to pursue his main love - music! .

“It was a conflict at home, my daddy was old school, he believed in field work first. There was little room for frivol-ity, little room for a young’un who wanted to be, of all things, a fiddle player.” The split left the aspiring musician with a broken spirit and a badly dam-aged emotional system that choked him for many years. But, fences were mended and he sees to his family.

While still a teenager, Jerrolds “moved to town” to pursue his music. He cleaved to musicians like Elvis Black, Hardin Qualls and Waldo Davis. No, he may not have been much of a hand on the farm, he had sounds in his head that needed to emerge. The experts call it “expression of one’s senses!” He and broth-er Bobby rode a fruit truck to Maimi to compete in the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour, playing a tune called The Mockingbird.

Jerrolds played the local ven-ues on Saturday nights. He trav-eled around the south-western part of Tennessee competing with fiddlers like Black, Hardin and Jerrolds and later AI Lester. He appeared for some time on the Country Boy Eddie TV Show in Birmingham, Ala.

“On our way to Birmingham we picked up Wyannette Pugh at Belmont, Ms. She turned out to be Tammy Wynette, he said.

Jerrolds ventured out, even in the years when fiddling was a lot art. He played tenor banjo in places like Jackson and Memphis.

FIDDLING ERA RETURNS

But....the age old tradition of good fiddlin’ resurfaced in the 1970’s. Almost in succes-sion he won 10 state champion-ship titles plus two Mid-South Championships. He traveled to Nashville a lot playing in com-pany with people like Bobby Osborne, John Hartford and Earl Scruggs. He teamed with The Warrior River Boys to travel. They record with 3 fid-dles - Red Taylor, Jerrolds and Gordon Terry. He wrote many songs about local people and events. In the “Walking Tall” movie he and Bobby joined Fred and Jimmy Melton in square dance scenes.

BUSINESS LIFE

Jerrolds shied away from the professional side of life because there wasn’t much money in it for side musicians. Mostly they existed on self-importance and egos, he said. He continued to record extensively from Muscle Shoals, Ala. to Nashville. He could handle his music bet-ter to make it a side-line to his successful land/real estate interests. For 37 years he has sponsored the Wayne Jerrolds Bluegrass Festival in Savannah.

JOINS THE BLUEGRASS BOYS

Jerrolds had, all his life, doted on the music of Kentuckian Bill Monroe. In early 1989 he was hired, along with Scotty Baugus, to join Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. His first performance with Monroe was on the Grand Ole Opry.

For three months he trav-eled with Monroe across the nation. “It isn’t easy, getting on an ice covered ‘airplane and flying to Las Vegas, Nev. Or Milwaukee, Wis., he said. Both Jerrolds and Baugus “toughed it out” even when “old man Bill” was in his far away moods. Now they are included in the history of the Bluegrass Boys and the love that surrounds Monroe and events at Rosine and Owensboro, Ky.

In addition to recording Jerrolds still has time for Mid-South competition; He won 4 prestigious contests during the past year. Jerrolds’ legacy will never be fully told, he has rendered untold help to worth-while charity events.

Moses’ prayer, “From everlasting to everlasting you are God” (Psalm 90:2), assures us that God uses prayer to reveal His Holy Spirit, love, presence, patience, power, perma-nence, peace, purpose, promises, protection, help, holiness, joy, stability, security, miracles, greatness, consistency, wis-dom, will, truth, and creativity, bring us to Himself, bless, save, forgive, and transform us into a new person, disclose why He created us, direct us in fulfilling His purpose, lift us up, and open our eyes to eternity.6

A short list of September Movies

Maybe this will be a handy sheet for movies that just

might be worth the time. Doing this by the month should be a list worth the read since the films will be playing soon. I hope this will be a good cheat sheet to say yes or no to a movie.

•Dolphin Tale 2, PG -13, Another true Dolphin story at Clearwater Marine Hospital.

•No Good Deed, PG – 13, An escaped criminal terrorize a family.

•The Drop, R, A robbery goes wrong.

•Bird People, An engineer leaves his job and wife in Silicon Valley and rents a room in Paris.

•My Old Lady, PG - 13, Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Maggie Smith will have the audience laugh-ing out loud.

•I am Eleven, Children from around the world talk

about their childhood and their not so far off adoles-cence.

•This is Where I Leave You, Grown-ups return to their home after their father dies. Their mother is played by Jane Fonda. Each indi-vidual seems to have issues.

•A Walk Among the Tombstones, Based on a book series by Lawrence Block. Liam Neeson will again take care of bad guys.

•Tracks, PG – 13, A true story about a woman in Australia. She crosses a desert in West Australia with four camels and a dog.

•Hector and the Search

of Happiness, A psychiatrist travels the world to find out the secret to happiness. Based on a book by the same name. Psychology was one of my favorite classes in college. I want to see this one. Well, actually I want to see all of these movies.

•Pump, A documentary about how we are addicted to oil. It is supposed to explain how we can stop our addic-tion to oil. It will be difficult for me, because I sure love to drive.

•The Equalizer, A former ops commando who fakes his death in order to live a quiet life can’t seem to stop elimi-

nating the bad guys. He does not like bad guys. He can do something about them, so he does. With Denzel Washington at the helm, it will surely be top entertain-ment.

Movie Review

Schancey Chapman

Family & Consumer Science Agent at UT Extension-

McNairy CountyOn August 20, Stantonville

Family and Community Education (FCE) Club hosted the annual McNairy County FCE Summer Celebration with a Luau theme. This event is held every year to get the three FCE clubs together for food, fun, and fellowship. Along

with Stantonville the other local FCE clubs are Selmer and Leapwood.

Even though this is a fun day, the clubs always want to help others. Club members brought nonperishable items to be donated to the local food pantry. Approximately $175 worth of items were donated.

The day started with Pam Carroll, Stantonville FCE President, welcoming every-one. Diane Uher, McNairy

County FCE President, pre-sented a simulation “check” for $498,150 to McNairy County Mayor, Ronnie Brooks and UT Extension Agent, Schancey Chapman. Although actual monies are not exchanged, the “check” represents the amount of potential dollar saving to the county if persons were employed to carryout local ser-vices provided by the volunteer hours of FCE members. The $498,150 portrays volunteer

services rendered during 2013 by 28 FCE members reaching 59,990 people. The Certified Volunteer Hours (CVU) show the positive impact on Tennessee and the importance of funding FCE and other Extension activities.

After a prayer and delicious potluck lunch Ashley Davis gave her personal testimony of substance abuse. She was very enlightening and educational. Door prizes were given out and

the 2014 County and Regional Cultural Arts winners were announced. The event conclud-ed with full stomachs and bit of catching up. If you would like to join FCE or have any ques-tions, please contact McNairy County UT Extension at 731-645-3598.

McNairy County UT Extension provides a gateway to the University of Tennessee

as the outreach unit of the Institute of Agriculture. The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and McNairy County gov-ernments are cooperating to bring the people of the county various programs and services. UT Extension provides equal opportunities in all programs and employment.

Campus News ReporterMany families in the

United States observe National Grandparents Day on the first Sunday of September after Labor Day. This day honors grandpar-ents. National Grandparents Day was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Kindergarten students at Bethel Springs Elementary celebrated the occasion on Friday, September 5, 2014. Their Grandparents were invited to eat breakfast and watch a student performance.

Marian Lucille McQuade, a housewife in West Virginia, initiated to have a day to honor Grandparents. She and her husband had 15 children, 43 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. Throughout the 1970s, McQuade worked hard to educate the people about the important contri-butions senior citizens made and the contributions that they would be willing to make if asked. She also urged people to adopt a grandpar-ent, not for one day a year and not for material giving, but for a lifetime of experience.

President Jimmy Carter proclaimed: Grandparents are our continuing tie to the near-past, to the events and beliefs and experiences that so strongly affect our lives and the world around us. Whether they are our own or surrogate grandparents who fill some of the gaps in our mobile society, our senior generation also provides our society a link to our national heritage and traditions. We all know grandparents whose values transcend passing fads and pressures, and who possess the wisdom of distilled pain and joy. Because they are usu-ally free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsi-bility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.

The See You at the Pole Story

A small group of teen-agers in Burleson, Texas, came together for a DiscipleNow weekend in early 1990. They came seeking God and little did they know how powerfully He was about to move. On Saturday night their hearts were penetrated like never before, when they became broken before God and burdened for their friends. Compelled to pray, they drove to three different schools that night. Not knowing exactly what to do, they went to the school flagpoles and prayed for their friends, schools, and leaders. Those students

had no idea how God would use their obedi-ence.

God used what He did among those teenag-ers and others who were holding similar prayer meetings at their schools to birth a vision in the hearts of youth leaders across Texas. The vision was that students through-out Texas would follow these examples and meet at their school flagpoles to pray simultaneously. The challenge was named-See You at the Pole™ at a brainstorming session during a meeting of key youth leaders. The vision was shared with 20,000 students in June 1990 at Reunion Arena in Dallas,

Texas.Only God had envi-

sioned how many students would step up to the chal-lenge. At 7:00 a.m. on September 12, 1990, more than 45,000 teenagers met at school flagpoles in four different states to pray before the start of school. Reports came into toll-free number for days after the first event.

A few months later, a group of youth ministers from all over the coun-try gathered together for a national conference in Colorado. Many of them reported that their students had heard about the prayer movement in Texas and were equally burdened for their schools. No other events had been planned, but it was clear that stu-dents across the country would be creating their own national day of stu-dent prayer. There was no stopping them.

On September 11, 1991, at 7:00 a.m., an estimated one million students gath-ered at school flagpoles all over the country. From Boston, Massachusetts, to

Los Angeles, California, from North Dakota to the tip of Texas, students came together to pray. Some sang, some read Scripture, but most importantly, they prayed. Like those first students, they prayed for their schools, for their friends, for their leaders, and for their country.

As in all great move-ments of prayer, See You at the Pole™ did not begin in the hearts of people. It began in the heart of God. God used the obedience of a small group of teenagers to ignite what has become an international movement of prayer among young people.

Since 1991, See You at the Pole™ has grown to God-sized propor-tions. Within the first few years, the movement began to spread to other nations through mission-aries from the U.S. Now each year, more than 3 million students from all the world participate in See You at the Pole™. Students in more than 20 countries take part. In places like Canada,

The Fellowship of Christian Students (FCS) will host “See You at the Pole” on September 24 in the gym, beginning at 7:30 am. All students and faculty are encouraged to attend.

Korea, Japan, Turkey, and the Ivory Coast, students are responding to God and taking seriously the chal-lenge to pray.

God is continuing to call His people to repentance and prayer. Countless inspiring testimonies of how He has used See You at the Pole™ to bring students to Christ and to change lives affirm God’s power to answer those who cry out to Him in humble dependence. Bible clubs, weekly prayer meetings, and other ministries have begun on campuses where students participated in See You at the Pole™.

Lions win 49-42, shootout

Adamsville and Trinity Christian Academy met in Jackson last Friday night in what was predicted to be one of the better games in the area. It was a great game if you like watching points being scored as the teams combined to put 91 points up, but if you’re a fan of defense it wasn’t your type

of game. Adamsville, now 2-1,

entered the contest ranked #2 in the state’s 2A poll while TCA, 2-1, came in ranked #4. The Lions were able to rally from an early 14-0 deficit and went on to win 49-42, and most likely captured the District 15-A title.

“This was two good teams and somebody had to lose,” said Coach Brandon Gray. “We gave up some big plays on

defense and in the end it cost us. We’re in the same situation we were in at this time last year so we know there’s a lot of football left to play and we could see TCA again in the playoffs like we did last year. We’ll learn from this and get better.”

TCA won the toss and want-ed the ball first. The Cardinals forced them to go 3 and out and after the punt got the ball at their own 45. Adamsville

drove down the field and quar-terback Seth Paul scored from 2 yards out with 4:52 left in the opening period.

Will Linam’s extra point gave Adamsville a 7-0 lead. TCA’s next possession got the Cardinal fans on their feet when Laderrick Means intercepted a Kyle Akin pass and returned it 60 yards for a Cardinal touchdown.

The extra point gave Adamsville a 14-0 lead with 3:30 left in the first period. TCA went to work and moved

the ball down the field for a score on a 37-yard pass play. The extra point was blocked leaving Adamsville with a 14-6 lead with 2:13 to go in the opening period.

Adamsville fumbled on their next possession after just 2 plays and TCA recovered at midfield. A few plays later the Lions scored on a 6-yard run and converted the 2-point try to knot the game at 14-all with 9:48 left in the half.

After forcing the Cardinals to punt the Lions moved down

the field again and scored, this time on a 9-yard pass. The point after gave them a 21-14 lead with 6:18 left in the half. The Cardinals put together an 85-yard drive and with 27 sec-onds left in the half Seth Paul took it in from 2 yards out.

Linam’s extra point tied it at 21-21 as an exciting first half came to an end. Adamsville had to punt to open the second half and TCA wasted no time in regaining the lead. Starting

MCHS shutout 54-0 at Lexington

The McNairy Central Bobcats went on the road last Friday night for their first dis-trict game of the season to face District 14-AA favorite Lexington.

The Lexington Tigers have not lost a regular season dis-trict game since 2009 and they kept that streak alive as they rolled past the Bobcats

54-0. The Bobcats dropped to 0-2 on the season and are still looking to score their first points of the season under new head coach Chad Hodge.

“We looked good coming out of the gate on offense and then we stalled and Lexington never looked back,” said Coach Hodge. “We have to get a lot better on the offen-sive line. We also have to quit arm tackling and start hitting people with our pads. Our kids are practicing hard and they simply have to take it into the Friday night games.”

It won’t get any easier for

the Bobcats this week as they host county rival Adamsville. The Cardinals are currently ranked 4th in the state’s 2A poll.

“Adamsville is a good foot-ball team and they have 8 returners on both sides of the ball. They are bigger up front than most teams and are accustomed to winning. We have to show them that last week against Lexington is not the McNairy Central team they will see this Friday,” said Coach Hodge.

In last Friday night’s con-test at Lexington the Bobcats

hung tough the first quar-ter. Lexington got their first touchdown of the night with 2:47 left in the opening period and added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.

Things went downhill for the Bobcats from that point on. Lexington made it 14-0 with 11:40 left in the second period. They upped their lead to 21-0 with 3:46 remaining in the first half and with just 51 seconds left before halftime they scored on a passing play to extend their lead to 28-0 at

the break. The Bobcats were unable

to generate any offense in the second half and Lexington continued to light up the scoreboard. With 9:45 left in the third period a touch-down on a passing play put the Tigers up 35-0.

With 4:03 left in the third the Tigers added another score on a running play to give them a 42-0 lead. In the final period Lexington added two more touchdowns. With 8:14 left to play they scored for a 48-0

lead, missing the extra point. The final score of the night

came with 3:01 left and fol-lowing another missed extra point the Tigers led 54-0, which was the final score.

Offensively for the Bobcats, Peyton McMahan was 1 for 9 for 9 yards. Dylan Crabb was 0 for 3. Jeremy Harris had 1 reception for 9 yards. Defensively, Tata Newsom had 13 carries for 81 yards.

Adamsville’s Todd McGee met one of his former players on Monday night as they coached against each other on the soft-ball field. Lani Rinks, a former

Lady Cardinal standout softball and basketball player at AHS, went up against her old coach.

Rinks is the new head soft-ball coach at Bethel Springs this

season. Her team had a lead for much of Monday night’s game, but Adamsville’s junior high girls rallied for a 9-5 win. Rinks had this to say about facing her former coach and mentor.

“It was very exciting to coach against my former coach Monday night. I played bas-ketball for four years and soft-ball for five years at Adamsville under Coach McGee. I also had the privilege of being his assis-tant coach for the junior high softball team for two seasons. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Coach McGee, as he was a great influence in my life as a person, player, and now coach. I take great pride in being able to be his first former player to coach against. This game will always have special meaning to Coach McGee and myself.”

Things only got better for Coach McGee as the follow-ing afternoon on Tuesday he took on another former player in Brittany Harbin who is now the softball and girls basketball coach at Pickwick Southside.

“Coaching against two of my former players in two consecu-tive days, it’s amazing,” said Coach McGee.

The Adamsville Lady Cardinals improved to 3-1-1 on the season with a 4-2 win at Wayne County last Thursday and a 5-0 over Fayette-Ware at home on Tuesday.

“We had a good win under some tough field conditions at Wayne County,” said Coach Rebecca Ashe. “We have some big district games coming up and we need to get everyone healthy for them. We had a good offensive game against Fayette-Ware. We took 30 shots and had 5 goals. Our defense is getting better every game. We have to continue this type of play in our district games.”

Lady Cardinals 4Wayne County 2 Adamsville’s Lexie Woods

scored at the 4-minute mark to give the Lady Cardinals the lead. Summer Hancock assist-ed on the score. AHS’ Hancock was given credit for a Wayne County own goal when she kicked a ball that deflected off a Wayne County player and went in the net just before the end of the first half.

In the second half the Lady Cardinals’ Baylee Hill scored at the 54-minute mark with Kayla Lambert assisting.

Hannah Russell added the final score as the Lady Cardinals went on to win 4-2. Goalkeeper Parker Davis had 6 saves. Adamsville took 24 shots on goal.

3-minute mark off an assist from Lexie Woods to make it 1-0. At the 18-minute mark Hill added her second goal of the match to up the Lady Cardinals’ lead to 2-0, which

was the score at the half. In the second half Demie

Milford scored at the 58-min-ute mark with Hill handing out an assist to make it 3-0. Hill scored her third goal of the game at the 69-minute mark to complete the hat trick and increase Adamsville’s lead to 4-0.

With 8 minutes left in the match Milford scored her second goal of the afternoon and Adamsville won 5-0. Goalkeeper Parker Davis had 3 saves.

The McNairy Central Lady Bobcats improved to 5-1 over-all with a 5-1 win at South

Gibson last Thursday after-noon and a 6-3 win at Liberty on Monday.

“The South Gibson game was our best game of the sea-son,” said Coach Jerry Lott. “Our shooting percentage was much better, and our defense kept them out of the net until the last two minutes of the game. We had some break-downs and fell behind 3-2 at Liberty, but played better in the second half and were able to come back and win. Offensively we scored 6 goals, which is a good effort.”

The Selmer Middle School Lions made a visit to Adamsville last Thursday and came away with a big 40-0 win over the Cardinals.

“Selmer came to play tonight and we did not,” said Coach Michael Harvill. “They did everything right and we did everything wrong. They blocked, tackled, and executed plays extremely well. They were well prepared and they are a very good foot-ball team. As for us, I believe this was the worst football game I have ever coached in. I don’t think we did anything right all night from the open-ing kickoff till the last play of the game. We had bad snaps, turnovers, and missed tack-les. It was just very ugly, not Adamsville football. Selmer played great and definitely deserved to win. They will have a good season.”

Adamsville took the open-

ing kickoff and went three and out. Selmer’s Matt Cossey scored on the Lions very first play on a 55-yard run. The 2-pt. try failed leav-ing the Lions with a 6-0 lead. Adamsville failed to cover the ensuing kickoff and Selmer recovered at the Cardinal 41.

The Bethel Springs Rebels hosted the Ramer Eagles last Thursday night. Prior to the game the Rebels recognized their 8th grade football and softball players and cheerlead-ers. Once the action got under-way it was all Ramer.

“We executed our offense and defense much better this week,” said Coach Jeremy Blakely. “Bethel is a really young team that plays hard. We were able to get a couple of turnovers that led to quick points.”

Bethel coach Noah Evans stated, “Ramer played well and we didn’t have an answer for #40 (Austin Scott). Once he got outside he scored. We have to do a better job of tackling and executing on both offense and defense.”Bethel turned the ball over on downs on their first possession and Ramer’s Austin Scott raced 38 yards for a touchdown on the Eagles first offensive play.

Scott added the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 Eagle lead with 5:49 left in the first period. Bethel was unable to cover the ensuing kickoff and the Eagles recovered the ball at the Rebel 38. On the first play Scott took it around left end for another 38-yard touch-down.

The conversion failed leav-

ing Ramer with a 14-0 lead with 5:30 left in the first quar-ter. After a Bethel punt the Eagles took over at midfield and would later score on an 18-yard run by Scott to make it 20-0 with 1:23 left in the first. After forcing Bethel to punt again Scott scored on a 40-yard run, his fourth TD of the first half.

This one came with 7:22 to go in the first half. Stone Teague passed to Cole Kirk for the 2-point conversion to give Ramer a 28-0 lead. Bethel next possession ended when Ramer’s Trevon Campbell intercepted a pass and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown with 4:39 left in the first half.

The 2-point conversion by Scott upped Ramer’s lead to 36-0, which would be the score at the break. Ramer’s Anthony White scored on an 11-yard run with 36 seconds left in the third period and Sailor Kinkennon added the 2-point conversion for a score of 44-0, which was the final.

Offensively for Ramer, Austin Scott had 203 yards and scored 4 touchdowns. Anthony White had 39 yards and a touchdown. Sailor Kinkennon had 9 yards and

a 2-point conversion. Terrence McDougal had 14 yards rush-ing. Stone Teague was 1 for 3 passing for 3 yards and a 2-point conversion. Cole Kirk had 1 catch for 3 yards on a 2-point conversion.

Ramer traveled to Michie on Tuesday for softball action. The Lady Eagles came home with a 10-7 win as they improved to 3-1 on the sea-son. Michie is still looking for their first win at 0-3.

“This has been a great sea-son for our girls,” said Coach Shannon Rodgers. “We have had several learning experi-ences and have fought our way up. We have three more games to go, so don’t count us out yet.” Michie’s Andrea Witten was proud of her girls even in a loss. “The girls played great and had great team work,” said Coach Whitten.

“We didn’t have the best fourth inning, but we were

proud of their effort on the field.”

Michie led 1-0 after the first inning. Ramer took a 2-1 lead in the second with a pair of runs, but Michie came back with a run to tie it at 2-2 after two innings. The third inning was big for Ramer as they scored 6 runs to go up 8-2.

Michie came right back with 4 runs in the fourth to pull within 8-6. In the sixth and final inning Ramer scored 2 insurance runs to go up 10-6. Michie added 1 run in their final at bat for the final score of 10-7.

Selmer and Bethel battled in softball action at Patriot Park on Tuesday afternoon with the Lady Lions winning 10-0 to stay unbeaten this season.

“Our girls played much better against Selmer this time around, but we had too many errors and not hits,” said Lady Rebel coach Lani Rinks. “It’s hard to win when you do that. We got to con-tinue practicing hard each day to get better.”

Selmer led 1-0 after one inning and then added 5 runs in the third and 4 in the fourth for a 10-0, which was the final. Annabelle Whitaker was the winning pitcher, tossing a no hitter and striking out 12 Lady Rebels. Kylee Brown took the loss.

Bethel Springs hosted Adamsville in softball action on Monday night at Selmer’s Patriot Park. Adamsville used a big fourth inning to rally for a 9-5 win.

“We were up 5-2 going

into the fourth inning, but we broke down and had too many errors to keep our lead,” said Bethel head coach Lani Rinks. “I was proud of the way the girls hit the ball tonight and hopefully we can build

on that.” Adamsville took a 1-0 lead

in the first and added a run in the second to go up 2-0. Bethel then scored 3 in the bottom of the second and 2 more in the third to build a 5-2 advantage.

Adamsville came alive in the fourth and put 7 runs across the plate to take a 9-5 lead, which was the final. Molly Howell was the winning pitcher. Kylee Brown took the loss for Bethel. Lynn Williams went 2 for 3 for the Lady Rebels at the plate.

Abby Jones was 2 for 2 with an RBI. Faith Bizzell was 1 for 2 with 3 RBIs. Khyla Wade-Warren was 1 for 2 with an RBI double. For Adamsville, Sienna Benitez went 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI.

Alexis Wynn was 1 for 2 with 2 RBIs. Gracie Hutton was 1 for 2 with a triple and 2 RBIs. Alyssa Bowles went 1 for 3 with a double and 2 RBIs. Sidney Hessing was 1 for 3. May Kelly was 1 for 3. Molly Finley was 1 for 3 with a triple. Sierra McCain had an RBI.

McNairy Central at Adamsville (33rd meeting)

Game time 7:00 p.m.

Friday night the Adamsville Cardinals (2-1) will visit the McNairy Central Bobcats (0-2) in the 33rd meeting between the two county rivals. Although the teams first met in 1974 they did not play each other in 1975, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 87, or 88. The Bobcats hold a commanding 24-8 edge over the Cardinals.

At one time they had a 22 game winning streak. Adamsville finally stopped

the streak in 2009 when they got their first ever shutout over the Bobcats, an 18-0 win at Adamsville. The Bobcats have shutout the Cardinals 14 times. In 2010 the Cardinals won 34-7, which is their larg-est ever margin of victory over the Bobcats.

McNairy Central’s largest margin of victory was in 2000 when they won 62-0. The Cardinals, who now have five straight wins over the Bobcats would like to make it six in a row, while the Bobcats’ plan is to end the streak at five.

Adamsville’s only wins over McNairy Central, prior to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 were in 1981, 1983

and 1984, back when Tommy Browder was the Adamsville coach. Browder later became coach at McNairy Central and never lost to the Cardinals during his tenure.

Things have turned around for the Cardinals in the past few years under head coach Brandon Gray. The Bobcats have started this season with a 20-0 loss at Kossuth and last week they were beaten at District 14-AA favorite Lexington 54-0.

The Bobcats are still look-ing for their first points of the season. The Cardinals opened their season with a 14-7 win at Chester County followed by a 41-9 win at home over

Bolivar. Adamsville suffered a tough 49-42 loss to District 15-A opponent TCA last week as TCA rallied from a 14-0 first quarter deficit.

Adamsville and McNairy Central will both try to put last week’s losses behind them and when the Bobcats and Cardinals play you can throw the records out the window.

The game is always a hard-hitting game played with plenty of emotion on both sides of the field. The team that makes the least amount of mistakes will have the best chance to win this year’s county championship. Fans should get to Don Whitaker Stadium early to get a good seat.

Also, be prepared to hear two of the best bands in the

country at halftime. It will also be the official kickoff for United Way in McNairy County.
