    The Lewis County Middle School Lady Panther volleyball team opened their 2022 season under new head coach Mattie King as they travelled to Leoma to take on the Lady Rebels.

Lewis County pulled out to an 11-2 lead in the opening set and cruised to take the first set of the match 25-13. The second set started much closer than the first as both teams broke service multiple times and...

  • Panthers host Bulldogs

    Jason Fite, Contributing writer|Aug 18, 2022

    The Lewis County Panthers football team hosted the Hickman County Bulldogs on a rainy Thursday night, August 11th. On the soft and wet surface of A.B. Sisco field Shawn Lewis returned the opening kickoff 44 yards deep into Bulldog territory, but an interception ended the Panther threat. The Panther defense held strong on the first Bulldog possession and forced a turnover on downs. The offensive struggles would continue for both teams as neither could put together sustaining drives and the first two periods of action ended with no score. The...

  • Tribute to Tennessee High School Football Coaches

    Aug 18, 2022

    By Murphy Fair In my first game as a head coach, I was at Stratford High School in 1970 and we were hosting Sparta (White County) when David Culley was their quarterback. Something was happening outside the stadium during the game that I didn't find out about until I read the paper the next morning. Metro police raided a house across the street from our stadium. There was a guy who was actually watching our game through a scope on his rifle. Officers responded after a neighbor called the...

  • Buyer Beware for livestock purchases

    Aug 18, 2022

    Any purchase sight-unseen carries risk, and that’s especially true for livestock. Tennessee’s State Veterinarian is advising livestock buyers of best practices and legal requirements before purchasing animals for import into Tennessee. “Emerging diseases and parasites have been introduced into Tennessee this year through infected livestock purchased without the buyer seeing the animals in advance,” State Veterinarian Dr. Samantha Beaty said. “I recommend buyers visualize animals in person before money changes hands to help minimize the risk of...

  • Tyrades! Do you love state welcome centers?

    Danny Tyree|Aug 18, 2022

    My family made a recent day trip to a neighboring state, so I decided this week’s column should be a tip of the hat to those oases of the interstate highway system, the state welcome centers. Whether you’re a vacationer, traveling businessperson, truckdriver or zip-across-the-state-line shopper, welcome centers are a great place to “stretch your legs,” “wet your whistle,” “get the lay of the land” and discover other activities that keep the quotation-marks industry trouncing the brackets indust...

    These new laws will improve public education in Tennessee Education was a primary focus of the 2022 legislative session, adding to the books a variety of new laws that will improve our public school system in Tennessee. With the new school year upon us, I’ll summarize in the following paragraphs a few of these important laws, several of which I am proud to have sponsored. I sponsored two bills aimed at ensuring fairness in both girls’ sports in K-12 public schools as well as NCAA women’s sports in public colleges in Tennessee. The latter prohi...

  • District 71 Capitol Hill Update with Representative David Byrd

    Aug 18, 2022

    Increasing penalties for boating under the influence / Public chapter 910 - To help keep Tennessee waterways safe, a new law increases penalties for boating under the influence. Called “Nicholas’s Law,” it makes a boating under the influence conviction equal to that of driving under the influence for the purpose of determining whether the offender is a repeat offender. In other words, if someone is convicted of boating under the influence and is later convicted of driving under the influence, they could be punished the same as if they were...

  • Kids Can Read

    Aug 18, 2022

    For over two decades education reformers have been trying to convince parents, taxpayers and voters that Tennessee public schools are doing a horrible job. They have done this through the manipulation of test result data gathered from state and federally mandated standardized tests. Last month the State of Tennessee announced that 36.4% of Tennessee’s public school students are reading on grade level based on the results of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) state-level results. Governor Bill Lee and Education Commissioner P...
