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

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.
