Local student wins photo contest with apropos shot

Heritage Days itself is a Rogersville tradition dating back to the late 1970s. Care NET’s photo contest for Hawkins County high school students is only in its third year, but it continues to draw a strong response from local young photographers. The theme for this year was an unwittingly prophetic one: “Whatever the Weather.” During Heritage Days, visitors and event organizers found themselves sweating out the remnants of a powerful hurricane that thankfully stayed well to the west of Hawkins County and brought only some wind and occasional showers. Bill Kornrich of Care NET described it as a “definite “Whatever the Weather” weekend.” Victoria Jones of Clinch High School captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Those who attended Heritage Days on Saturday were treated to a double rainbow following one of the squalls. Jones’ winning entry displayed such a phenomenon. Jones will receive a Fuji Film Instax camera with printing paper for her first-place prize. Clinch also had the runner-up, Jaxon Davis, who will receive a $50 gift certificate. Finishing third and claiming a $25 gift certificate was Jackson Zill of Cherokee High School. Care NET sponsors the photo contest each year for Hawkins County high school students. It

PHOTO GALLERY: Greeneville edges Volunteer for 2-AA title

GREENEVILLE — Angelyn Diaz scored twice and assisted Kinsley Spradlen on a third goal as Greeneville held off Volunteer 3-1 to capture its 22nd consecutive district championship on Thursday, Oct. 15 at Fox Field. The Volunteer defense held Greeneville scoreless until the 37th minute when Diaz took a pass from Andrehina Moreno and found the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. That’s where it stood at the intermission. Three minutes into the second half, Diaz dished to Spradlen for a goal and the 2-0 lead. Volunteer cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 51st minute when freshman Ansley Glass scored on an assist from senior Raya Kochemba. Diaz struck again with about three minutes left in the match to give the Lady Greene Devils some breathing room with the 3-1 lead. Volunteer keeper Khloe Sanders had 17 saves in the title match. “Couldn’t be more proud of the effort tonight. Khloe had a fantastic game. The whole team played well,” Volunteer coach Mitchell Magill said. “Looking forward to a potential rematch in a week. I think we can get there if we play the way we did tonight.” In the District 1-AA tournament championship, Arvella Nave scored two

PHOTO GALLERY: Pioneers hold on for 'Wynn' over Chiefs

ROGERSVILLE — David Crockett rolled into Big Red Valley and built an early double-digit lead against Cherokee, just as it had in back-to-back losses the past two seasons. Only this time, the Pioneers weren’t leaving without the win. Senior A.J. Wynn made sure of it. Wynn had a hand in all three David Crockett touchdowns, including a 3-yard scoring run with 27.1 seconds remaining, to lead the Pioneers to a 21-14 nonconference win over the Chiefs on Friday, Oct. 16 at Mike Sivert Field. “He is one of the best football players in East Tennessee and he has been for some time now,” Cherokee coach Josh Hensley said. “That’s a good 5A football team. … Hats off to Hayden (Chandley) for the game plan and the way that they performed.” Fans had hardly settled into their seats when Wynn took the opening kickoff 93 yards down the David Crockett sideline to give the Pioneers a 7-0 lead just 17 seconds into the game. He ran for 97 yards and threw for 126 more in the game, including a 32-yard touchdown strike to Marckis Carrier to put the Pioneers up 14-0 with 3:57 left to play in the first half. The

Making Hay While the Sun Shines

September event spotlighted vernacular barns in Madison County. Barns are as much a part of the Appalachian landscape as hills and hollers, and that’s especially true in Madison County, where agricultural buildings are intimately woven into the history and culture of one of Western North Carolina’s most rural districts. The Appalachian Barn Alliance’s annual Barn Day earlier this fall provided an opportunity to explore the stories and legends encoded in the weathered wood and rusted nails of five historic barns at the Smith Farm at Bailey Mountain Preserve in Mars Hill. They’re among an estimated 10,000 such barns that dot the countryside, some still in use but others, built as tobacco barns, falling into disrepair with the collapse of that once-crucial cash crop.
