OAK RIDGE — The Hardin Valley Lady Hawks stunned the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats one month ago, almost to the day, winning by two at HVA.
But on the road at ORHS Tuesday night, Feb. 2, the sequel was nothing like the original as Hardin Valley took one on the chin, 69-43.
Tied at 13 in the second quarter, the Lady Hawks (7-11, 6-7 in District 3-AAA) gave up an 11-0 run to Oak Ridge and the Lady Wildcats never looked back.

MARYVILLE — Leslie Sayers and Mary-Mc Alexander are valuable wings, being part-time starters on an extremely short bench, for the Bearden Lady Bulldogs.
In fact, Sayers or Alexander — whomever doesn’t start — make up the entire depth of Lady Bulldogs likely to see crunch-time action.
While there’s no time for controversy with only six girls contributing for Bearden in recent weeks, a rivalry for starting honors — and playing time — between Sayers and Alexander isn’t a concern.
“We’re best friends,” Sayers was quick to point out — while Alexander smiled and nodded enthusiastically — about the pair’s relationship shortly after Bearden’s 47-36 District 4-AAA win at William Blount Tuesday night, Feb. 2.

Ads seal 74-47 win over Heritage, Lady Ads edge 50-43 win
Chuck Cavalaris - Thu, Feb, 4, 2010
MARYVILLE — Chris Cool had some great news for early arrivals before a District 4-AAA game at Heritage High School.
“Coach is back,” the Farragut High School interim boys basketball coach said just before the girls’ varsity game tipped off.
Donald Dodgen, FHS head coach, made a triumphant return in a sport he dearly loves and Landon Hunley made school history with a triple double in a 74-47 victory Tuesday, Feb. 2.
Dodgen had been on leave of absence for nearly two weeks because of a serious foot infection.
“The quickest way to get me out of here is to make me sit down,” Dodgen said. “That would kill me.”
Instead, the Ads (14-10, 4-6) were inspired enough to play their most complete game of the season.

Carroll, Connor, Cowan address BHS baseball

| Bearden players listen as Brett Carroll, Florida Marlins outfielder and former BHS standout shortstop, illustrates how intimidated he was playing in New Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox, during one of his first Major League Baseball games - Alan Sloan/farragutpress |

From Bearden High School to Kentucky to Yankee Stadium, Mark Connor's rise ending as a New York Yankees pitching coach began as a BHS Bulldog.
Connor, a Major League pitching coach for a handful of teams who currently serves as assistant to the general manager with the Texas Rangers, was one of three guest speakers at Bearden Baseball Diamond Dinner, Sunday evening, Jan. 31, at Rothchild Catering & Conference Center.
Brett Carroll, Florida Marlins outfielder and former BHS standout shortstop, and Richard Cowan, former head coach of Bearden girls basketball and Bull-dogs baseball during a 26-year stint, also addressed BHS coaches, players and parents.
“My whole life, my whole career, changed because of that one year,” Connor said about his one season as BHS baseball head coach in the late 1970s. “People say, what did coaching at Bearden do to get you to be the pitching coach with the New York Yankees?”
After coaching BHS that spring, Connor said he gathered the returning Bulldogs “and we played all summer.”
That included “a little tournament in Paintsville, Ky.,” Connor added. “We won the tournament, played great. And I made a friend.”
