  • Blue Devils regain winning form

    After a poor showing at Lynn Camp’s Bowman Invitational and a disappointing district loss to Sunbright, the Jellico High School boy’s basketball team seems to have found its groove again.

    The Blue Devils (9-4 overall) advanced to the finals of the Midway Holiday Tournament this week with lopsided victories over Meigs County and Berean Christian. Class A Jellico was scheduled to face Class AAA Cocke County in the championship game Tuesday night.

    The Sunbright Lady Tigers snapped a 63-game district losing streak with a 60-46 win over Jellico, while the Tigers stayed perfect in the district with a 69-53 victory over the Blue Devils in the boy-s game.

  • Jellico's Gulley named to...

    History kept rewriting itself this year whenever the Jellico High School volleyball team took the court.

    The Lady Blue Devils won their district, finished the Region 2-A Tournament as runners-up, qualified for their first-ever sub-state appearance, and set a school record for wins (16-7 overall).

    Now they can boast of the first all-state volleyball player in school history.

  • Malicoat breaks CCHS scoring...

    Cody Malicoat could be forgiven for sleeping in Saturday.

    Instead, he dragged himself out of bed, got dressed and went to a local gym to work out the morning after he set a new Campbell County High School basketball scoring record during a 97-91 double-overtime district loss at Oak Ridge.

    It’s a wonder the 6-foot-4, 198 lb. sophomore forward had any energy left after torching the Wildcats with 58 points and 15 rebounds in a rematch of last season’s district tournament championship game.

    “They were still pretty excited at school (on Monday),” said Nancy Douglas, who coached all four teams for the Elks.

    “They were saying, ‘Can you believe this?’ They’re all real good kids.”
