    Campbell County High School’s volleyball team ended its season this week with a first-round loss to Knoxville Central in the District 3-AAA Tournament at Oak Ridge.

    The Lady Bobcats won the “best three out of five” match to advance to a second-round game against top-seeded Karns. Central is the only district team to have taken a match from Karns this season.

    “We had a slow start, but the last two games were competitive,” said first-year Campbell County coach David Seals.

  • Blue Devils stumble in muddy...

    Jellico High School's football team suffered a 23-6 district loss to Coalfield last week in a very muddy game played at Hoyt Morton Field.

    Nathan Overton scored the lone touchdown for the Blue Devils on an 11-yard run. Freedom Scott led Jellico with 17 total tackles, 10 of which were solo.

    “I’m not going to make excuses, because both teams had to play in it, but we were totally unable to execute our offense in the mud,” said Jellico coach Danny Oakes.

    In a battle of evenly matched middle school football teams, it was muscle that ultimately decided the outcome of the Jacksboro vs. LaFollette game Thursday night at Al Rotella Stadium.

    The Eagles dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, which surprised LaFollette coach Steve Rutherford.

  • CCHS runners compete at Nashville

    Although the weather wasn’t hospitable, the runners were persistent Saturday during the 44th annual A.F. Bridges Cross-Country Invitational at Nashville’s Iroquois Steeplechase course.

    Torrential rainstorms forced postponement of the high school race for five hours, and the course was shorted from 3.1miles to 2.2 because of flooding.

    But once the rain stopped, the 17 teams that waited out the weather were rewarded to a very competitive race.

  • Harriman defeats Jellico in...

    After opening the high school football season with four straight games decided by seven points or less, the Harriman Blue Devils finally had a breather Monday night as Travis Tapp’s squad picked up a 33-0 victory over the Jellico Blue Devils at Wallace Black Field.

    Harriman (4-1 overall) was dominant on both sides of the ball Monday, amassing 404 yards of total offense on 61 plays while allowing Jellico (1-4 overall) only 46 total yards. About the only thing that stood between Harriman and a perfect night was three fumbles inside Jellico territory.
