recognized by their peers for these honors.
The golf team completed their regular season with two
matches last week. Both teams lost to Milan in an away
match last Monday. The girls were paced by Courtney
Creasy with a 57. The boys had John French as their
team's low scorer with a 45. Last Tuesday they returned
to action at Carroll Lake Golf Course against Dresden.
The girls narrowly lost with Courtney Creasy shooting a
55 and Ashley Creasy scoring a 57. The girls ended their
regular season with a 4-10 overall record. Ashley Creasy
played her last home match for the Lady Rebels in this
her senior year. The boys defeated their Dresden
counterparts by a 170-181 score. Senior Mark Anderson
saved his best match for the last with a medalist round
of 40. Freshmen Marshall Smith and Justin Wilson each
carded a 43. Mark and J.C. Johnsonius played their last
matches for the Rebels in ending their senior season.
The boys upped their record to 12-5. On Monday,
September 16, they were scheduled to play in the
district tournament at Tennessee River. If they played
well and qualified, they will advance to the regional
tournament at Tennessee River on Monday, September 23.
Many of our clubs and organizations involve themselves
in community service projects. On September 7, the Leo
Club, the high school branch of the Lions Club, assisted
the parents of the Little Rebel Football Team in a yard
sale to raise money for the operating expense of the
team. Members had to sacrifice part of their Saturday
morning to work at the sale or donate items for the
sale. The Leo Club has actively worked in many service
projects and has assisted the Lions Club in many of
their fundraisers. The Leo Club is sponsored by Ms.
Dianne Anderson.
We are pleased to announce Jay Taylor and Julie Smith as
the high school's nominees for the Wendy's High School
Heissman Award. This program, created by Wendy's
Old-Fashioned Hamburger Restaurants, recognizes the
nation's top high school seniors who best exemplify a
supreme "scholar-citizen-athlete." These students have
been nominated by the high school coaching staff and
principal for their academic aptitude, athletic talent,
and display of commitment in and out of the classroom.
In its 9th year, this program partners Wendy's, the
National Association of Secondary School Principals, and
the Downtown Athletic Club. Nominations for the award
are based on factors such as grade point average, civic
involvement, sports, awards, clubs, and leadership
positions. Congratulations to Jay and Julie for this
recognition.
The band will begin its competitive season this
Saturday. They will travel to Milan to perform in the
Milan Invitational Competition. Band members spend many
hours after school working on their field show to
present at halftime of football games and at the various
competitions in the area. The band will have about four
Saturday contests before the state competition at
Murfreesboro Riverside on Saturday, October 26. The band
has about 50 members and is directed by Keith Breeden.
The active Band Boosters help to supplement the expenses
of the band through a variety of fundraising events.
The cross country teams have competed in two meets so
far this year. At the J.C.M. meet at the U.T. Ag Center,
Sarah Hartz finished 27th; Amber King, 25th; Julie
Smith, 43rd; and Lucy Snead, 45th in the girls' meet
with about 125 people in the race. At the same meet for
the boys' portion, Holland Hames earned 53rd place and
Caleb Owen, 54th place. The boys' race also had about
125 entrants. At the U.S.J. meet, Amber placed 22nd,
Lucy, 53rd; and Ashley Murrey, 70th. Caleb and Holland
finished 54th and 56th respectively. All runners
improved their times from one meet to the next. The
teams had a meet scheduled at Lexington on Monday,
September 16 and one in Dyersburg on Monday, September
23.
The Rebels upped their record to 2 and 1 with a
hard-fought 7-6 victory over the Golden Tide of Trenton
Peabody. This non-region game was important as the
Rebels defeated a quality opponent and had many aspects
of its team to play at a high level. The offense
mustered a 17-play, 75 yard drive that consumed 91/2
minutes of the clock to take the lead 7-6. The defense
allowed 7 first downs and less than 150 yards of total
offense for the visitors. Although the game was delayed
by lightning and was interrupted by two downpours, the
temperature was much more pleasant than the previous two
weeks. This week the Rebels return to region play with a
trip to Adamsville. They return home on September 27
with Homecoming against West Carroll.
School will not be in session on Monday, September 23.
