  • Lady Waves bomb McMinn Central...

    The Midway Lady Green Waves have quietly put together an eight-game winning streak after a 13-1 non-district victory over McMinn Central Thursday at Midway.
    The win raises Midway’s record to 18-7-1 overall, but they are only 5-0 in the district.
    The Lady Waves will have to play five district games in the next two weeks. They will visit Rockwood, Greenback and Grace Christian. Two home games to be played are Tellico Plains and Grace Christian.
    Midway is scheduled to visit Grace Tuesday and host Tellico Plains Thursday.

  • Jackets split with Loudon

    The Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets split their tennis matches with Loudon at Roane State on Thursday.
    Both squads entered the day with 2-2 records. Kingston’s boys ran their mark to 3-2 with a 9-0 victory over Loudon, but the Lady Jackets fell to 2-3 after dropping a narrow 5-4 decision.
    Boys
    Thursday’s results are a little misleading as Loudon has only two players and that led to just three matches being played.
    Kingston won those matches as Brandon Griffis and Quint Gasque teamed up for an 8-2 victory over Dylan Shanks and Steven Davis in doubles.

  • Loudon rolls past OS in soccer,...

    Dominant is the only word to describe the Loudon Redskins performance Thursday afternoon against the Oliver Springs Bobcats with a 5-1 win.
    The Redskins managed to score three quick goals to take a 3-0 lead to the half, having 14 shots on goal and preventing the 'Cats from a single solitary shot.
    One bright spot for the 'Cats in the second half was Shawn Childress scoring a goal on a Jacob Pope assist to narrow the gap to 3-1.
    However, euphoria quickly turned to anguish when the 'Skins scored back-to-back corner kicks to pull out to the 5-1 win.

    The Bobcats took control by scoring in each of their first four at bats in building a 6-0 lead after 3 1/2 innings of play. Coalfield tried to rally late, as they closed to within 6-4 after six innings, but the Jackets would get no closer as Oliver Springs added an insurance run in the top of the seventh inning.
