Cosby runs out of bullets in 54-46 shootout loss to Whitwell
COSBY — Firepower on offense was never in short supply for the Cosby High School football team this season. The second round of the postseason was no different. The Eagles scored seven touchdowns in a TSSAA 1A state playoff tilt with Whitwell, but it wasn’t quite enough as the visiting Tigers scored a 54-46 victory on Friday night at Virgil Ball Stadium to advance to the quarterfinals, when they’ll visit Coalfield on Nov. 20. In Friday’s contest, the teams found the end zone an equal amount of times, but Whitwell went 6 for 7 on two-point conversion tries while Cosby was successful just twice. "A big difference in the game was (Whitwell's) physicality down there on the two-point plays," Cosby head coach Levi Cooper said. "That's the difference in the ballgame. They were just making good plays. We tried several different things. "Typically, that's a big quarterback run area for us because we know we're probably going to get man coverage and we did. Having the quarterback as a runner typically gets you back even with the numbers, but they were just more physical at the point and got us on the ground on a couple plays. We tried throwing

Canton lost its mill. Now the clock is ticking on its future
CANTON - First came the flood. Then the mill went silent. Then another flood. In August 2021, Tropical Storm Fred devastated Canton, swamping homes, businesses and municipal buildings. In June 2023, the paper mill that had sustained the Haywood County town for 115 years closed. Tropical Storm Helene brought another round of destructive flooding in September 2024. Now, after three devastating blows in four years, Canton is trying to do something more ambitious than recover. It is trying to decide what it wants to become. A sweeping new comprehensive plan puts the former mill property at the center of that transformation, envisioning a district of manufacturing, housing, commerce and recreation connected to downtown and the Pigeon River . But with a moratorium on data centers expiring in February and new development regulations on the horizon, the town faces growing pressure to turn its aspirations into policy before others decide the property's future. “This isn’t our plan,” Canton Mayor Zeb Smathers said during a Nov. 10 meeting. “It's the citizens’.” The 95-page Canton 2050 Comprehensive Plan, dated Oct. 20 and labeled a final draft, is the product of months of public workshops, surveys and conversations about what should replace the industrial

At 30, Summer Cassidy Decided It Was Time to Return to the Classroom
When Summer Cassidy graduated from high school at 18, she didn't know she would eventually find her calling working with children and families. She certainly didn't know that, 12 years later, pursuing that calling would take her back to the classroom. Cassidy spent seven years as an assistant director at the Boys & Girls Club before taking a position as a receptionist at Jefferson Middle School. The experiences helped her realize how much she valued working directly with students and supporting families. As she learned more about the role school counselors play in students' lives, Cassidy began thinking about a new career. “I was 30 years old when I shared this goal with my husband, and with his encouragement and the wonderful things I had heard from family and friends about Walters State, I knew it was the perfect place to begin this new chapter in my life,” Cassidy said. Returning to College at 30 Starting college after more than a decade away from the classroom was intimidating. Cassidy was working full time. She hadn't been a student since graduating high school. Now, she had to figure out how to balance a career, coursework and the responsibilities of everyday life.
