Munford overwhelms Overton in region opener to remain undefeated

By Jeff Ireland on September 20, 2022

Considering Cougar quarterback Jordan Bell was out with an injury, Overton supporters probably held out hope their game at Munford on Friday would be competitive. It was not. Three different Cougars had at least 100 yards rushing and Munford overwhelmed Overton 61-13 in its Region 8-5A opener to move to 5-0 and remain fourth in the latest Class 5A Associated Press state … [Read more...] about Munford overwhelms Overton in region opener to remain undefeated

Three key plays lead to Tipton-Rosemark loss in region play

By Jeff Ireland on September 19, 2022

[metaslider id=11232] Though Tipton-Rosemark Academy lost by 24 points at home to Fayette Academy Friday night in DII-A-West play, if three plays had gone a little differently, there likely would have been a different result. The first came when tight end Eason Wells hit Brady Orr on a trick play. The 58-yard touchdown pass, which was nearly tipped by a TRA defender, put … [Read more...] about Three key plays lead to Tipton-Rosemark loss in region play

Brighton High golfer Molly Heath signs scholarship with University of Tennessee-Southern

By Jeff Ireland on September 14, 2022

When Molly Heath joined the Brighton High School golf team three years ago as a freshman, a golf scholarship seemed pretty unrealistic. After all, according to BHS golf coach Kim Greer, Heath was shooting in the 130s and her drive was topping out at 100 yards, maybe. Not exactly what college recruiters are looking for. One day, while practicing at Forest Hill Golf Course in … [Read more...] about Brighton High golfer Molly Heath signs scholarship with University of Tennessee-Southern

Covington beats Brighton handily for third straight victory

By Jeff Ireland on September 12, 2022

[metaslider id=11194] Things were looking up for Brighton late in the first quarter of its home game Friday night against Covington. Pierce Meacham broke a 41-yard touchdown run to cut Covington's lead to 14-6 and Ryan Vandiver recovered the ensuing onside kick to give Brighton possession near midfield. That's when things fell apart. Quarterback Bryan Bratcher fumbled and … [Read more...] about Covington beats Brighton handily for third straight victory

Munford dominates Douglass to remain undefeated

By Jeff Ireland on September 7, 2022

It's just the way media works. Munford's offense has been getting a lot of attention this season, and rightfully so. Quarterback Jordan Bell, running back Braxton Sharp and wideout Isaiah Cobbs have put up some impressive numbers through the first three weeks of the season. However, the defense has been just as good and how good both units are was on display again Friday … [Read more...] about Munford dominates Douglass to remain undefeated
