BEAN STATION – Two men are facing
multiple drug charges following a Bean
Station traffic stop, Friday, July 1.
Brandon
Michael
Luttrell,
21,
Mooresburg, and William Walker
McCoy, 20, Bean Station, were traveling
northbound on Hwy. 25E when they
were reportedly stopped for making a
right turn into the Marathon parking lot
at 3940 Hwy. 25E, without using a turn
signal.
The driver, Luttrell, provided his
driver’s license and registration of the
vehicle, but allegedly told Bean Station
Police Department Patrol Officer Kris
Gulliver he did not have insurance.
When asked for identification, McCoy
allegedly told Gulliver he didn’t have
any, but did provide his name and social
security number.
BSPD Patrol Officer Brad French, who
also responded to the scene, asked for
consent to search the vehicle, which
was reportedly declined.
According to reports, because both
individuals appeared nervous, Gulliver
requested a K9 unit respond to the
scene.
Grainger County Sheriff’s Department
Deputy Nathan Cook arrived on the
scene with his K9 partner and a positive
alert was reportedly given by the K9 on
the driver’s side of the vehicle.
During a search of Luttrell, a glass
pipe containing marijuana residue was
allegedly located in his front pocket.
A small amount of mushrooms was
reportedly recovered from the center
Brandon Luttrell
William McCoy
console of the vehicle. Luttrell allegedly
admitted to officers he owned the
mushrooms.
According to reports, a search of
McCoy led to the recovery of a black
plastic container which held two rolled
marijuana joints, one bud of marijuana,
rolling papers and $2,968 cash. He also
allegedly had a key chain with a metal
cylinder containing one Xanax tablet
and two hydrocodone tablets in his front

NASHVILLE – Tennesseans can now
buy wine in grocery stores, employees
may carry guns on campus and motorists
can now be penalized for texting while
driving and moving too slowly in the fast
lane.
Those are just some of the 82 new
state laws that went into effect July 1.
Wine
sales
in
supermarkets
began Friday in cities that approved
referendums in 2014. The law also
prohibits sales Sundays and during
federal holidays.
The new carry law allows employees
at post-secondary institutions to bring
guns on campus as long as they are
kept concealed in their vehicles and it is
locked.
Penalties for violating the texting
while driving law include attending a
driver education course for the first
offense.
The slow poke law restricts drivers
from continually driving in the left lane
of three-lane highways and impeding
traffic.
Violations result in a $50 fine.
Other new laws taking effect this
month include:
• Enhanced penalties for motorists
with multiple DUI convictions, elevating
a six-time offender from a Class E felony
to a Class C felony;
• requiring individuals convicted of
carjacking to serve at least 75 percent of
the sentence imposed; and
• prohibiting the use of an EBT card
to purchase tobacco products at a retail
tobacco store.

Napping driver arrested on drug charges
TRACEY WOLFE
BEAN STATION – A nap in a Bean
Station motel parking lot led to the
arrest of a Morristown man, Tuesday.
Marcos Summerson, 30, was
reportedly asleep in the driver’s seat
of a green 2002 Mustang at the Budget
Inn in Bean Station when Bean Station
Police Department Patrol Officer Justin
Collins arrived on the scene.
According to reports, when Collins
woke Summerson and asked for his
name and date of birth, Summerson told
him his name was Christopher Tipton,
and gave a date of birth of January 13,
1985. While speaking with Summerson,
Collins reportedly observed a loaded
syringe with a clear liquid substance
inside, laying in the seat where
Summerson was sitting.
Collins reportedly asked Summerson
to get out of the vehicle and frisked
him, at which point
Summerson allegedly
took off running.
When Collins
yelled at Summerson
to stop, he allegedly
continued to
run. Collins then
reportedly yelled,
Marcos
“Taser, taser,” and
Summerson
deployed his taser
at Summerson who, when hit with the
taser, stopped running.
Following investigation Collins
determined Summerson’s true identity
and during a search of Summeron’s
vehicle, a black container with two
baggy’s of a white crystal substance
believed to be methamphetamine, and
a black case containing a syringe and a
digital scale were allegedly recovered.

RUTLEDGE – Four individuals
were arrested Friday, July 1, in a joint
operation by Grainger County Sherrif’s
Department (GCSD) and Tennessee
Alcoholic
Beverage
Commission
(TABC). Carolina Alfaro, Jorge Arturo
Castellanos, Maria Hernandez and Lori
Lynn Morales were charged with various
counts of unlawful sale and unlawful
storage of alcoholic beverages.
According to Sheriff James Harville,
the arrests were the result of undercover
alcoholic beverage buys from the
individuals operating the La Superior
Dos business located at 193 Dilbert Dr.
in Rutledge.
The agents reportedly arranged the
purchase of beer and tequila from the
business operator. The purchases were
then allegedly picked up at the business
from different cashiers during the
operation. Harville said, “The business
does not have a beer permit issued
by the Grainger County Beer Board.
Grainger County does not have any
businesses authorized to sell liquor.”
The investigation is still underway
with further charges and pending
arrests.
Swimmers beware:
fecal contamination a
concern in hot weather
NASHVILLE - According to Vanderbilt
University, recreational water illness is
the overall term for sickness caused by
bacteria or viruses in pools, lakes, rivers
and other places people like to swim
or play in hot weather. The way these
illnesses are often spread comes down to
fecal contamination in the water.
Vacationers
along
the
Florida
panhandle are being warned by the
Florida Department of Public Health
to avoid swimming in several popular
beach areas due to the fecal bacteria
enterococci. The bacteria, which are
common in feces of both animals
and humans, can sicken swimmers,
especially very young people, older
people and those with compromised
immune systems.
For those staying closer to home
and swimming in pools, it also pays to
keep water safety in mind, said William
Schaffner, M.D., professor of Preventive
Medicine at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center.
“The most common problems people
get while swimming are intestinal
infections, either bacterial or viral,”
he said, adding that the most common
bacterial cause of illness contracted
while swimming is Shigella, and the
most common viral cause is Norovirus.
Both can make you feel pretty terrible,
Schaffner said, running down a litany
of misery: “Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hoppers Bluff
Dear Editor,
This is for the Hoppers Bluff residents.
The CCR, or covenants (that we knew
or did not know we signed into) was
filed, but the process to make it legally
actionable was not completed. In order
for it to be legal, it must be governed by
a Home Owners Association, LLC. Such a
limited liability company needs money to
make it happen, as a lawyer is involved.
The state of Tennessee and the federal
government is involved. There are
people in our neighborhood who want to
create a new home owners association
(HOA) and make new rules to control
how we live here in Hoppers Bluff.
What can an HOA do to us? It can
force us to give money to them monthly.
If we do not pay, it can fine us. It can
make us pay insurance. If we do not pay,
it can fine us. It can tell us how we must
design our property and arrange or add
onto it. If we do not comply, it can fine
us. It can do this and more, solely on the
basis that the majority of people in our
neighborhood not liking the way you live,
even if what you are doing is improving
the quality of living in your home and
adding value to your home.
Do we need something like this in
our lives? Are our mortgages not high
enough? Most of us are retired, so do we
need someone to tell us how to live? Is
anyone so miserable and bored that we
need to get in each others business?
Well, right now, in order for the
covenants filed for Hoppers Bluff to be
legally actionable, everyone it applies to
must be in a HOA, which governs that
covenants. One does not exist, legally or
otherwise. Some residents are trying to
make one exist. However, they can not
force anyone into it.
Even if we had to, knowingly or
unknowingly, sign a document agreeing
with the covenants, the rules and
restrictions do not apply because there
is no HOA. If we are not in the HOA, we
are not subject to its rules or regulations.
This is the process: Notification process,
real estate attorney, HOA name, board
of directors, bylaws, membership
requirements, meeting schedule and
website and/or newsletter.
“A homeowners association, or HOA,
is a developer-created organization
that serves the purpose of maintaining
the appearance and common areas of
pre-planned, pre-built residences and
communities. Most often, membership in
the subdivision’s HOA is mandatory with
the purchase of a home, and residents
are required to pay dues as well as
abide by the covenants, conditions and
restrictions, or CC&R’s,” according to
eHow.com.
As mentioned above, the covenant
was created and filed before the HOA
was formed back in 1963. Covenants
should be changed to reflect the change
in the residential area. Ours is over 50
years old and definitely does not reflect
our residential area. If it was done right,
it would be updated every decade or
so. The major reason to have one is to
keep property values up. In our state,
that really does not matter in the case of
housing. A person can have a $400,000
palace right next to a double-wide and
the price of neither is effected. Just
because a covenant is in place, filed,
and we signed into it, does not mean it
affects how we live right now. In fact, it
does not affect us in any way.
It is possible, however, to form a legal
HOA after the fact, if the neighborhood
has existing or long-term residents who
believe creating such an organization
is in order. It is done in the same way,
as for any corporate body, such as a
limited-liability corporation. Laws vary
by state, and some states have additional
regulations for forming HOAs so be
aware of possible exceptions in your
area. That is what some residents are
trying to do. They even have a lawyer
representing them. That lawyer is not
representing the rest of us.
They are in the obvious stage of
informing residents because, unlike the
compulsory membership that comes
with buying a home in a neighborhood
already bound by an HOA, existing
residents cannot be forced into a newly
formed association. They are looking up
our deeds and digging in our business to
create something that we do not need.
We do not need control of each others’
lives and properties. We need to know
ourselves. Be true to that knowledge and
treat others accordingly.
The Singh family will not be a part of
this or any other HOA in Hoppers Bluff.
We will care for our family, live our lives
with as much integrity as we can and
help all in need, within our powers, who
live around us. We wish you all love and
respect, and hope you will look into the
goings-on in Hoppers Bluff.

to seek new terms in the November 8
municipal elections.
The latest is Jerry Childers, who
picked up a petition last week. Earlier,
Aldermen Jimmy Jeffers and Jimmy
Langley took out petitions. The other
aldermen whose terms expire this year
are brothers Jason Roberts and Justin
Roberts.
Neither has indicated whether he
plans to run again.
Thus far, seven potential candidates
have picked up petitions to run for the
board in Blaine. Former city police
officer Marvin Braden has already filed
his petition. Others obtaining petitions
are Les Ault, Chase Cress and Charlie
McKnight, who serves on the city’s
planning commission.
Qualifying also continues for city
elections in Bean Station and Rutledge.
They will be the same day as the
presidential and state and federal general
elections.
In Bean Station, the terms of Aldermen
Jeff Atkins and George Shockley will
expire in November. They have both
picked up petitions to run for reelection.
Also taking out a petition is Ron Wonderly,
a resident of the annexed section of
Mooresburg.
In Rutledge, the terms of all four board
members and Mayor Danny Turley expire
in November. Keith Merritt, who is not
currently on the board, has returned his
petition to run for alderman in Ward I.
Alderman Ed Boling has also taken out
a petition to run for reelection in Ward I.
No candidates have picked up or filed for
Ward II Aldermen or Mayor.
Qualifying will continue until August
18, at noon. The withdrawal deadline will
be one week later.
Aldermen in Bean Station are elected at
large. Petitions for those positions must
contain at least 25 signatures of eligible
voters within the city limits. Aldermen in
Rutledge run in Wards I and II, with two
being elected in each ward.
Petitions for those posts must contain
25 signatures of residents within those
wards.
Petitions for mayor must have 25
signatures within the city.
TRAFFIC STOP from GT1
pocket.
McCoy’s residence had reportedly
been under surveillance by a BSPD
Narcotics agent due to a neighbor’s
complaint regarding traffic at the
residence. Following his arrest, McCoy
took BSPD Chief Chad Seal and other
officers to his residence where they
allegedly made an additional recovery
of 6.1 ounces of marijuana, one ounce of
mushrooms and $217 cash.
McCoy was charged with possession
of a Schedule I controlled substance,
possession of Schedule VI controlled
substance for resale, possession of
a Schedule II controlled substance,
possession of a Schedule IV controlled
substance and felony possession of drug
paraphernalia.
Luttrell was charged with possession
of a Schedule I controlled substance and
possession of drug paraphernalia, along
with municipal citations for failure to

SWIMMERS from GT3
sometimes fever.”
According to Schaffner, the symptoms
take hold several hours after infection
has occurred, and people often don’t
suspect that being in the water has led
to the illness.
Fortunately, a few simple precautions
can reduce the risk for everyone.
Schaffner said, “Before you or your
children get in a pool, take a look at it. A
poorly maintained pool can lead not only
to intestinal problems, but also other
unpleasantness, such as a skin infection
caused by pseudomonas bacteria. Does
it have clear and clean water? If not, you
should reconsider getting in.” Everyone
getting in the pool should take a shower
beforehand. Anyone who has had
stomach problems in the previous 24
hours should not get in the pool. Parents
should be certain that toddlers haven’t
soiled their diapers — even plastic swim
diapers — or their swimsuits. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends that parents check children
every 30 to 60 minutes and do any diaper
changing away from poolside, taking
care to wash their hands afterward. If an
accident does happen, if it’s in a public
pool, let the management know so they
can take steps to clean the water and
make it safe for everyone again.
Schaffner said, “From an infection
point of view at least, urine in the pool
is not a real issue because it is sterile,
dilutes quickly and really doesn’t pose a
health risk to other swimmers.” He said
none of this should dampen anyone’s
enthusiasm for the pool. “With a few
simple precautions, playing in the water
can be safe and fun for everybody.”

Local family makes river life their business
BARBARA WOMACK
BLAINE – Terrie and David Arnwine
have always enjoyed life on the water.
Their home is on the banks of the
Holston River. Little did they ever think
it would become a family business.
“We have always been water sports
people. We decided this was something
we could give to the community, so we
started this (Holston River Outfitters)
about a year ago,” Terrie Arnwine said.
“As far as we know, we are the only
outfitters in Grainger County.”
She said they were asked to be
a distributor for Vibe and Feelfree,
distributors of kayaks and equipment.
“We didn’t know if they would sell or
not. But sales were phenomenal, so we
decided to open a store front,” she said.
The business is located at 3172
Perrin Hollow Road at a location
that was once a grocery store and a
restaurant.
Terrie said the kayaks they sell are
multipurpose. The “sit on” seats are
safe and durable, so if the boat turns
over, a person can get out easily. “There
is nothing holding you in,” she said.
She said they can also be used as
fishing boats.
Holston River Outfitters also sells
fishing gear and clothing. Kayak rentals
are available, along with river tours,
gear rental, guide services and shuttle
services.
Tours are available upon request
and include a bag lunch and snacks.
Three different tours are available. The
Cherokee Tunnel tour is four and onehalf hours, from Cherokee Dam to River
Pointe Subdivision. The cost is $46 per
person.
The Smoky Island tour is one and
one-half hours and travels along the
shores of the Holston River. The cost
is $25 per person. There is also a Little
Rapids tour at a cost of $20 per hour,
per person.
The store is managed by Terrie’s
nephew, Lance Morton, and nieces,
Christian Morton and Juliana Morton.
It is open Wednesday through
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Customers can also call for
appointments when it is not open.
Holston River Outfitters can be reached
at (865) 828-5544 or by email at
holstonriveroutfitters.com.
Holston River Outfitters is located at 3172 Perrin Hollow Road in Blaine.
Holston River Outfitters offer three different tours on the Holston River.

Graduates of Walters State’s Basic Law Enforcement Academy salute the colors during a
recent graduation ceremony. The Academy recently graduated its 100th class.
WSCC Law
Enforcement Academy
graduates 100th class
MORRISTOWN – The Walters State
Basic Law Enforcement Academy
marked a milestone earlier this month
with the graduation of its 100th class.
The Walters State academy, established
in 1986, has consistently been ranked
among the nation’s premier training
centers for law enforcement officers.
“President Dr. Jack Campbell
committed time and resources to
getting approval from the Police
Officers’ Standards and Training (POST)
Commission to offer a police academy,”
said Tim Strange, dean of Walters
State’s Division of Public Safety. “That
commitment has continued throughout
Dr. Wade McCamey’s administration,
emphasizing the academy’s importance,
not just to East Tennessee but the entire
state.”
The Walters State academy was the
first in Tennessee to offer academic
credit in addition to state-mandated
certification. Prior to 1986, area police
officers had to travel to the Tennessee
Law Enforcement Training Academy
in Donelson to receive the POST
certification required of all new law
enforcement recruits during their first
year of employment.
The Walters State Basic Law
Enforcement Officer Education is an
intensive nine-week, 480-hour program.
Upon completion, students are awarded
the technical certificate in basic law
enforcement officer education and are
eligible to apply for certification by the
POST Commission as a certified peace
officer in the state of Tennessee after
being employed by a law enforcement
agency.
Students are required to reside at the
academy Sunday night through Friday
afternoon. The average day for cadets
begins before dawn and does not end
until 10 p.m.
“They do physical training first thing
in the morning,” Strange said. “It’s not
uncommon to see them jogging around
Greeneville at 5 a.m.”
Notable changes after three decades
of officer training are in areas of
improved technology and expanded
career opportunities. Enhanced
technology is the most obvious change,
according to Strange. Students now
use iPads instead of textbooks and
thick notebooks, and a relatively recent
example is the use of GoPro cameras.
“The cadets go through various
shoot, don’t-shoot simulations in a home
environment wearing the cameras,”
Strange said. “Cameras are on the cadet
and the suspect allowing us to see
from all views what happened in that
room. The student can get shot with a
simulated (rubber) bullet, and reviewing
the footage can help them understand
what went wrong.”
Strange said instructional methods
related to driving and traffic control are
constantly evolving, and that cameras
are helping in that area, too. “We have
incorporated video to see how we are
going to drive on the track,” he said.
“Students actually watch a video on how
to do the obstacle course. It cuts down
on wear and tear and allows them to
start using the techniques as soon as
they are on the track.”
Although the majority of officers
trained at Walters State take jobs with
area police and sheriff’s departments,
they may also work in areas such as
wildlife resources, TBI or Homeland
Security.
The academy prepares officers for
an array of careers in a changing law
enforcement job market.
“Airport security and TSA
(Transportation Security
Administration) is a good example of
that,” Strange said. “9/11 changed that a
lot ,and we began putting more officers
in an area where we saw a need that we
didn’t see before.”
One thing that has not changed in 30
years is the academy’s ability to provide
training for the majority of its students
relatively close to home, employing
the experience of more than 50 adjunct
faculty members from a variety of law
enforcement backgrounds.
“Our instructors have to have
teaching credentials from POST, as
well as the necessary experience and
expertise in the areas in which they
teach,” Strange said.
The goal with each cadet, according
to Strange, is for the faculty to be able to
place their personal confidence in their
abilities. “We have a philosophy: If you
can take care of me and my little girl,
you can take care of anybody,” he said.
“But you can’t get through here if you
can’t take care of me and my family.”

TWRA responds to numerous incidents
KNOXVILLE – Wildlife and boating
officers were busy this holiday weekend
responding to more than a dozen serious
boating incidents on Ft. Loudon, Norris
and Melton Hill Lakes.
According to Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Agency Region 4 Information
and Education Coordinator Matthew
Cameron, “officers have investigated
or assisted with two drownings, a
hit-and-run jet ski incident, three boat
fires, multiple sinking boats and boat
collisions, as well as making a rescue
on Chilhowee Mountain and arresting
five operators for Boating Under the
Influence. An illegal black bear hunting
case was also made on Friday night.”
Cameraon said officers investigated
two boating accidents on Norris Lake,
Friday, before the Fire on the Water
fireworks show, as well as two accidents
after the show. In one incident, a couple
was rescued from a sinking vessel
near Sequoyah Marina while two boats
collided in a separate accident near
Waterside Marina. In other incidents,
two personal watercrafts collided in
the Big Creek area of Norris and a
person fell off the dock at Blue Springs
Dock. In another accident, a nineteenyear-old man died after jumping from
the top of a houseboat near Sequoyah
Marina. Witnesses said that he was
attempting to jump over another boat
and struck that boat before disappearing
into thirty feet of water. “TWRA’s
thoughts and prayers are with his
friends and family,” Cameron said.
A houseboat tied to the shoreline of
Norris Lake between Anderson Co. Park
and Stardust Marina caught fire and
burned without any injuries reported,
Sunday. Two BUI arrests were made on Norris
this holiday weekend as well. While a few incidents occurred on Ft.
Loudon around the time of the Rocking
the Docks fireworks show Saturday, most
of the activity happened Sunday night. In the Beal’s Chapel area of Lenoir City,
around 9 p.m., a boat traveling on the
lake overturned, ejecting two occupants
into the water. There were no injuries or
fatalities. At 10:45 p.m., officers were called off
of the water to assist Blount Co. Sheriff’s
Office and Blount Co. Fire and Rescue in
rescuing a family of eight who got lost
on Chilhowee Mtn. Officers used a GPS
coordinate taken from an emergency
cell phone call to find the missing party
at 3 a.m. In the group was a diabetic
76-year-old man who was suffering
from hypothermia after the rainstorm. Cameron said, “TWRA would like to
thank a neighboring landowner, Mark
Leonard, who provided ATVs and access
for rescuers to help locate the missing
people.”
Around 11 p.m., a boat ran across
a sandbar and was taking on water in
Ish Creek, near International Harbor
Marina. No injuries were reported and
the occupants were towed to safety.
At 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, Jereme
Peltier, 34, Knoxville, died after falling
into the lake from one of several boats
that were rafted together in the Prater
Flats area of Ft. Loudon. Witnesses said
that they heard a splash and began
checking boats in an attempt to account
for everyone. When it was recognized
that Mr. Peltier was missing, 911 was
called and divers from the Blount Co.
Rescue Squad located the body. Peltier’s
12-year-old son was the only person
with him and the child’s next of kin
was out of state. “TWRA offers prayers
and condolences for the young man,”
Cameron said. At about 1:55 a.m. Monday
morning, a docked boat caught on fire
in Ish Creek on Ft. Loudon. Witnesses
reported there was a neighborhood
fireworks show in the area, which may
have led to the fire. No one was onboard
the boat, and no injuries were reported.
Officers also arrested three impaired
operators for Boating Under the
Influence on Ft. Loudon Lake this holiday
weekend.

Serving Grainger and Surrounding East Tennessee Counties
Fundraising a big part of coaching
ELMER SMITH
RUTLEDGE – For the coaches of high
school sports in Grainger County, it’s
not all about the Xs and Os. The funds
needed to field the athletic teams have
to be raised before the team can take to
the court or the field. Grainger Athletic
Director Rusty Bishop put it succinctly
when he stated, “The biggest job of
coaching (fundraising) is the worst part
of the job.”
Although the fields, courts and other
aspects of the school facility give the
teams a place to play and call home,
the equipping of the teams is up to the
team itself. That includes the sports
equipment as well as the uniforms,
travel, payment for officials, security at
the games, clean up after the games and
other related incidentals.
The money generated from ticket
sales doesn’t cover the cost for many
of the sports. Although some funds are
generated from the sale of tickets, these
funds don’t cover the related costs of
hosting the games/matches or the cost
of traveling to away contests for sports

(Greeneville), Maverick Smith (Oakdale),
Josh Keck (Jefferson County) Dylan
Hayes (Cocke County) and Gordon
Moncier (Cherokee). Coach Brooks, a
volunteer, is dedicated to giving his
players the opportunity to playing
better competition in order to improve
their own skills and to give these
players the opportunity to be seen by
college coaches who are looking for
players for their programs.
The Trotters opened their season
in a warmup tournament in Atlanta,
Georgia, March 26, where they played
against teams from the state of Georgia.
In that tournament, Maverick Smith
(scoring average) and Dylan DeBusk
(three-point shots made) were in the
top five in those categories.

basketball, softball and baseball
high school and middle school teams
experienced the most success during
this past school year.
Girls basketball
Another trip to the TSSAA state
girls basketball tournament by the
Grainger Lady Grizzlies was the highest
level of success on the court or the
field for Grainger schools. The Lady
Grizzlies won their fifth consecutive
District 2-AA regular season and district
tournament as they improved their
district record to 62-2 over the past
five years. The Lady Grizzlies continued
their strong performance in Region
1-AA as they finished runner-up in the
region and advanced to the sub-state,
which is equivalent to the Sweet 16 of
the state tournament. The team posted
an exciting 54-52 victory over Fulton. A
second consecutive win in the sub-state
advanced the Lady Grizzlies to their
second consecutive elite eight for the
state tournament. The 2015-16 record
of 26-10 improved the Lady Grizzly
schedule over the past five years to 145
wins and only 29 losses.
It was also a very successful season
for the Washburn Lady Pirates, who
finished fourth in District 2-A regular
season play and took fourth in the
District 2-A tournament, to move on to
the first round of the region.
The Rutledge Middle School Lady
Pioneers, who were undefeated in the
Middle Eight Conference and lost only
one regular season game, continued
their outstanding play during the
conference tournament. The team
battled frequent postponement of games
because of snow to easily sweep the
victory with their closest tournament
game being a 16-point victory.
In middle school varsity basketball,
the Lady Pioneers took third place in
the tournament completing a successful
season.

The Grainger Grizzly basketball team
continued it upswing during the 201516 basketball season as the Grizzlies

FUNDRAISING from ST1
such as soccer or volleyball.
Football and basketball are the two
biggest generators of gate receipts with
baseball and softball raising smaller
amounts from the fans. However these
sports are the ones which have the
highest costs. To fully equip a football
player for practice and game equipment,
it may run $800 or more per individual,
while basketball may cost in excess of
$250 or more per player for uniforms
without including the cost for shoes. Of
course the equipment and uniform costs
aren’t paid out each year.
Gate passes, which are justifiably
used, cuts down on the money taken in
at games. Depending on the school and
the sport, there may be a number of
spectators who were not required to pay
the five or six dollars for a ticket.
In basketball, the first hope for
the team is that they can meet the
administrative costs of the game by
the money raised from ticket sales.
The team must pay the administrative
costs for hosting the game, which would
include paying for security, officials,
and clean up after the game as well as
paying the clock operator, scorekeeper
and possibly other individuals who are
necessary to host the game. Whatever is
left is then equally divided between the
boys and girls basketball programs.
When it comes to raising money for
equipment, uniforms and operating
expenses, each team can decide what
activities work best for them. Part of
the fund-rising occurs while games are
in progress. Each sport has a chance
to man the concession stand and raise
money for their particular sport.
One of the biggest fund-raisers for
Grainger High School is the football
homecoming queen contest. In the past,
the money raised by the homecoming
queen candidates went to football.
However, that has now changed as
football will receive half of the money
raised in the homecoming contest while
the other half will go to the athletic
team or student organization sponsoring
the queen candidate. In general this
has increased the amount of money
generated and also serves to get a larger
number of students involved. It’s a winwin situation for all.
Washburn also raises money by
homecoming queen candidates and
in a number of other ways. A recent
addition to the fundraising scene for
both Washburn and Grainger are
the alumni games, which generate
significant resources for the schools.
Other activities that raise money may
be faculty-vs-student games, in-school
games or other activities that get more
of the student body involved. Both
schools also use car washes, shoot-athons, banner sales, golf scrambles and
any number of other activities to keep
their programs afloat.
“If you want to be competitive and a
top notch program, it takes money to
play,” said head football coach Chad
Tate. “Our officiating costs alone are
about $6,000 for our varsity and junior
varsity teams.
Girls basketball coach Justin Combs,
who has taken the Lady Grizzlies to the
state tournament the last two years,
concurs with Tate that it takes money
to have a first class program. Although
there is a lot of work involved, Combs
believes that the team members need to
have a big involvement in fundraising as
each team member will benefit from the
money raised by their efforts.
Coach Combs found out that success
on the field or court required even more
fundraising.
Qualifying for the state tournament
didn’t mean an all-expenses-paid-free

School.
ride to Nashville. The proportion the
TSSAA paid to the Lady Grizzlies didn’t
come close to matching the expenses.
“We would have gone in the hole except
for all the great people in our county,”
said Combs. “This year it was almost
overwhelming how generous the people
and businesses in our county were. They
care about our kids and help us out in so
many ways.”
Sometimes its not just about what
happens between the lines. Sports
can be used to expand the horizons of
the players. The Washburn basketball
program is a case in point. Coach Daniel
Bishop is planning to take the Lady
Pirates to play basketball in Florida.
“Although it takes a lot of fundraising,
it’s worth it,” said Bishop. “It gives our
players the opportunity to fly in an
airplane, play in a tournament with
teams from across the country and of
course see Disney World. It will create
lifetime memories.”
Within our small communities,
individuals and companies are generally
asked repeatedly to help out with
individual sports fundraising activities.
They have responded in a big way. Every
coach gave nothing but praise for the
help they receive from individuals and
businesses of Grainger County.
“Our community and community
businesses have always been great,”
said Bishop. “Without them we couldn’t
survive.”
TROTTERS from ST1
The Trotters played in Gatlinburg,
April 2-3, against other teams from
Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.
In that tournament, the team finished
4-1 following a loss in the tournament
championship game to an outstanding
team from Greensboro, North Carolina.
Two weeks later in an exposure
tournament in front of college coaches
in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the
Trotters finished with a record of 2-1.
They were defeated by the eventual
champion, the Manning Gators, in the
tournament semifinals.
One week later, April 23-24, the
Trotters traveled to Raleigh, North
Carolina, where they took on teams
from all over North Carolina. In that
tournament, the Trotters advanced to
the championship game where they
dropped a hard-fought 57-52 decision to
the Queen City Ballers from Charlotte,
North Carolina. Ty Brooks made
the top-five stat leader board with
nine made free throws while Nathan
Hayes was top five in made 3-pointers
with seven. That was followed by a
tournament played in Cleveland where
the Trotters were victorious. They
were undefeated against teams from
Tennessee and Georgia in posting an
impressive 82-62 win.
Over the next three weeks, the
Trotters will finish their travel season
in a whirlwind of action beginning in
Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend
in the My Lineage of Champions
exposure event against teams from
around the U.S., Canada and from
overseas.
The following weekend, the Trotters
will travel to Alpharetta, Georgia, where
they will play in the Big Shots Exposure
tournament. From that tournament,
the team will travel directly to Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina for a week of
playing in the Big Shots Finale, where
more than 500 teams will be competing.
“We have an outstanding group of
young men,” said Brooks, who has been
coaching some of the Grainger players
since they were in the 10-and-under
classification. “They have worked hard
and are committed to getting better. It’s
great to get these guys exposure and
give them a chance to move up to the
next level.”

in District 2-AA and followed up with
a third-place finish in the District 2-AA
tournament, which earned them a trip
to the region tournament where they
traveled to Unicoi County for a first
round game against the Blue Devils.
After trailing by four points at the half,
the Grizzlies caught fire in the second
half and posted a 63-55 victory granting
them a berth in the Region One semifinal
game, which was hosted by Grainger.
A loss in that game ended a strong
season for the Grizzlies and pumped up
expectations for the 2016-17 basketball
season. The graduating Grizzly players
were participants in 85 victories during
their four years as members of the

Swimming
Although Grainger High School does
not have a swim team, the school does
have a swimmer. Freshman Kobe Evans
competed with Jefferson County High
School during the regular swimming
season. He entered the east regional
swim meet as a stand-alone Grainger
“team”, where he ended up scoring 30
points and placing 16th in the team
competition. That meet qualified Evans
to swim in eight events in the state meet.
In the Southeastern Short Course
competition held at Auburn University,
Evans took six medals in six events.
