Thursday:  Alcoa 35 Maryville 31...Alcoa won back-to-back games against Maryville for the first time since 1991 as Vanderbilt "Vee" Hambrick ran for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns, including the game-winner with 2:26 to play.  The win also boosts the Tornadoes' winning streak to 30 games.

Friday:  Dobyns-Bennett 44 Clinton 14...D-B's aggressive, athletic defense dominated Clinton's offense and the Indians' versatile running game ran all over the Dragons as their 11-game regular season winning streak was emphatically ended.  D-B outgained Clinton 426-141 and won despite committing four turnovers.  Clinton's scores came early in the third quarter when Jeffrey Daniel's 92-yard TD run and Austin Powell's strip, recovery and return from 40 yards out cut a 27-0 halftime deficit to 27-14.

Anderson County 55 Morristown East 29...Tanner Williams picked up where he left off in his record-setting 2009 season, throwing for 456 yards and five touchdowns despite only practicing twice last week due to illness.  Zane Roberts collected eight catches for 210 yards and three scores, while David Mabe caught a TD pass, Josh Mayes had six catches for 114 yards and a touchdown and Tyler Sulfridge ran six times for 106 yards and two scores while Creighton Hutson added 62 yards and a score on the ground.  The Mavericks racked up 631 yards of total offense.

Farragut 24 Oak Ridge 21 (OT)...The Admirals avoided an 0-2 start despite two TDs--one rushing, one receiving--from Rocky Fluud and a Brad Zulliger TD run.  After sending the game to OT, Farragut kicked a field goal then intercepted a pass in the end zone to seal the victory.

William Blount 28 Karns 7...The Governors took advantage of six beaver turnovers and built a 20-0 halftime lead on their way to their first win of 2010.  Greg Cook scored a pair of rushing touchdowns, Zach Witt tossed a scoring pass to Mikal Parrish and Coty Willocks returned an interception for a touchdown as WB improved to 1-1.

========================

Week Zero Friday August 20th

Clinton 28 Halls 27...The Dragons survived six turnovers and the Halls Red Devils to open their 2010 campaign with their 11th consecutive regular season win and a very important District 3-AAA triumph on Friday.  The Dragons appeared to be the stronger of the two teams but allowed Halls to hang around by committing six turnovers--two of which led directly to touchdowns by Tyler Belew, one on an interception return and the other on a fumble recovery return.  Two others led to short Halls drives.  Clinton's Camion Patrick made up for a couple of early fumbles by making some spectacular plays and by running for 104 yards and a 40-yard score that sealed the game late.  Dee Shannon caught 6 balls for 156 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Austin Powell rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown and sophomore quarterback Alex Willard was impressive in his debut, passing for 225 yards, 2 TDs and 2 interceptions on 8-of-17 attempts.  Corey Washington was a defensive force, recording a sack and blocking a punt late that helped the Dragons seal the win.  Also impressive in this all-around team effort were the entire offensive and defensive lines for the Dragons, who outgained Halls 399-224 and committed only two penalties to Halls' eight.

TSSAA:  No Fireworks At AC

The TSSAA has denied Anderson County High's request to shoot fireworks during Maverick home football games after the school made its request earlier this week.  School officials were told to stop shooting the fireworks during games after Oak Ridge complained last season.

Former AC Standout Signs With MLB Club

Former Anderson County baseball standout Michael White has signed a contract to play professionally with the Milwaukee Brewers.  White, who is coming off an undefeated, All-American season at Walters State, signed with the team on Monday, turning down a scholarship to play college ball at East Carolina.  White was drafted in the 13th round of this year's amateur draft after being drafted straight out of high school by the Brewers two years ago.  He turned down the Brewers' offer at that time.  Congratulations and good luck to Michael White--the first maverick baseball player to sign a Major League contract.
