Stayin’ alive. . .Sometimes one big defensive play is all a team needs

to jerk the momentum away from its opponents.The Lexington Tigers got one.Brendon Frankell’s interception with just under eight

minutes left in the game gave the Big Red Tigers thepush they needed to take the lead in their 21-14 sec-ond-round win over the Page Patriots Friday night.

Tied 14-14 with eight minutes to play in the fourthquarter, Frankell intercepted Page QB Houston Bagsby,setting the Tigers up at the 8-yard line. Fourplays later, junior RB Bryson Carver punched in whatbecame the game-winning TD.

Senior RB Deshun Kizer accounted for the Big Red’sother two scores on runs of 12 and 7 yards. Kizer wasLHS’s leading rusher with 74 yards on 11 carries. SeniorFB Tylon Brown had 42 yards on 11 carries and Carverfinished with 20 yards on six carries and the decisiveTD.

And as much as the Tigers have relied upon the run-ning game during the 2009 campaign, the passing gamealso helped keep the Tigers in the hunt.

Senior QB Stu Jones was 8-12 passing for 88 yards.His favorite target was sophomore WR Kerry Sellers,who finished with three catches for 31 yards. CalebStanford also had a key reception for 20 yards.

Until Frankell’s interception, neither team was able tocontrol momentum, even after a score.

After winning the coin toss, LHS elected to receive theopening kickoff, but came up empty on its first two pos-sessions.

LHS forced Page to punt on its first possession, butPage found the end zone on its second possession, aseven-play, 52-yard drivethat ended with Markelse

Discriminationlawsuit againstCity of Lexingtondismissed, again

The Tennessee Courtof Appeals ruled infavor of the City of Lex-ington last week whenit heard arguments in acase brought againstthe city by TeresaHayes in 2005.

Hayes was one of 13applicants for an entry-level firefighter positionwith the city in 2005,and after failing to ade-quately pass a requiredphysical agility exami-nation, Hayes filed suitagainst the city underthe Tennessee HumanRights Act, citing thatthe physical portion ofthe exam “had a dis-parate impact on fe-males.”

According to thecourt of appeals rulingand press release is-sued last week, Hayesand the other appli-cants were required toremove two laddersfrom a fire engine andthen replace them aspart of an eight-partphysical exam.

The city required ap-plicants to complete alleight portions of theexam in under 14 min-utes.

Hayes and one otherapplicant, a male, failedto complete all eighttasks in the requiredtime.

In August of that yearHayes filed suit againstthe city in ChanceryCourt citing discrimina-tion on the basis of sex.

Earlier this year, thecity settled anotherlawsuit with Hayes.

Lexington MayorBobby Dyer said thatsettlement “put every-thing on this appeal.”

State releases schools’ report cardsThe Tennessee De-

partment of Educationtoday released the an-nual comprehensive re-port card on pre-K – 12education, includingstate, district andschool-level informationon achievement, demo-graphics and discipline.This year’s report carddemonstrates funda-mental changes to thecalculations of ValueAdded and Achievementscores. The method ofcalculating scores andthe scale used to deter-mine letter grades havebeen revised to allow fora transition to the newstandards and assess-ments required by theTennessee Diploma

Project.“Because we have

been on an aggressivepath of improvementwith the TennesseeDiploma Project, it wasnecessary to utilize thistransition year tochange our calculationmethods and more ac-curately demonstratestudent progress in aneffort to pursue higherstandards,” EducationCommissioner TimothyWebb said.

Two major changeshave been implementedfor calculation of scoreson the Report Card.First, the baseline yearfor comparing studentachievement has beenreset using 2009 test

scores. Second, a newgrade scale will be used.The scale used to deter-mine all grades Athrough F has been dra-matically revised,meaning scores consid-ered to be an “A” profi-cient in years past maynow be a “B” or “C”.

“Part of student suc-cess means setting thestage,” said Dr. ConnieSmith, Assistant Com-missioner of Accounta-bility, Teaching andLearning. “With theTennessee DiplomaProject and recalibrat-ing the Report Card,we’re setting the stagefor our students to bemore competitive and

“In that settlement,we agreed that if shelost this appeal, thatwould end all of thelawsuits and bar Ms.Hayes from ever apply-ing for employmentwith the city again,”Dyer said.

According to courtdocuments, Hayesagain applied for a po-sition as a firefighter in2007 and passed thesame physical agilityexam “by using a differ-ent method of replacingthe ladders.”

And because Hayeswas unable to success-

fully establish that shehad been directed touse a different methodin 2005, the court ruledthat the exam is notdiscriminatory and up-held the ruling of Chan-cellor James F. Butlerin the lower court.

Hayes appealedChancellor Butler’s rul-ing challenging his de-cision that the city’sphysical agility test didnot have a disparateimpact on females. Fol-lowing briefing and oralargument, the Ten-nessee Court of Appealsaffirmed Chancellor

Butler’s ruling. Hayes isrepresented by JustinGilbert and MichaelRussell with the Jack-son firm of Gilbert,Russell & McWherter.The City of Lexington,Tennessee, is repre-sented by John D.Burleson and DaleConder Jr. with theJackson firm of Rainey,Kizer, Reviere & BellPLC.

Dyer said he is gladthe suit is finished, butnoted that Hayes couldstill appeal the case tothe Tennessee SupremeCourt.

ing the scene of accident,reckless driving and vio-lation of conditions ofcommunity correctionson the same day.

According to Hender-son County SheriffBrian Duke, the casesactually were worked bythe Tennessee HighwayPatrol.

Duke said the youngerBrunt apparentlywrecked his vehicle, leftthe scene and then latertried to report the carstolen.

“That’s my under-standing. He called dis-patch some time afterthe accident and said

the car had been stolen,but THP has alreadybegun working the caseand had eye witnesseswho identified Chris asthe driver, so they ar-rested him,” Duke said.

But the lesson was ap-parently wasted, asDuke said the youngerBrunt had a second ac-cident within hours ofmaking bond on the firstset of charges.

And this time his fa-ther apparently got in-volved.

Duke said THP allegesthat following the sec-ond accident, the seniorBrunt tried to pay some-

one to say he had beendriving the car.

“Evidently Anthonytried to pay a guy to sayhe was driving instead ofChris, but when troop-ers got there he backedout and said he wasn’tgoing to jail for someoneelse and told on them,”Duke said. “So they ar-rested Chris again and,this time, they arrestedhis daddy too.”

Last week HCN re-ported that charges ofvoter fraud and conspir-acy to commit voterfraud had been dis-missed against AnthonyBrunt.

GOOD JOB!GOOD JOB!

Lockridge’s 8-yard TD run. The extrapoint put Page on top 7-0 with just underfour minutes to play in the first quarter.

The Big Red responded with a nine-play, 68-yard scoring drive. Stu Jones’20-yard completion to Stanford got LHSinto Patriot territory, then Kizer, Jonesand Brown did the rest on the ground.The drive ended with Kizer’s 12-yard TDrun, followed by Kolby Chambers’ extrapoint to tie the game at 7-7 at the end ofthe first quarter.

Page’s next possession looked like an-other scoring drive, but a Russ Hender-son sack and an interception by Jonesthwarted the drive.

Unfortunately, the Tigers couldn’t cap-italize on the turnover and couldn’t con-vert on fourth down after driving down tothe Page 31-yard line. Page took over ondowns but kneeled to end the half withthe game tied 7-7.

Page didn’t waste any time on theopening drive of the second half. ThePatriots took a 14-7 lead on Bagsby’s 8-yard pass to Ryan Capps with 9:46 leftin the third quarter.

Once again the Big Red respondedwith a 76-yard scoring drive. Kizer’ssecond touchdown and Chambers’ en-suing extra point tied the game 14-14with 32 seconds left in the third quar-ter.

Both defenses held on the next twopossessions, and it looked as thoughboth teams were searching for a big

play to gain the momentum in thefourth quarter.

That’s just what Frankell’s intercep-tion did.

The INT gave the Tigers possession atthe Page 18-yard line, and three runsby Brown followed by two from Carverwere all the Big Red needed to take the21-14 lead with 5:04 to play.

Following the touchdown and theextra point, the Patriots whittled theirway down to the LHS 16-yard line, butPage failed to convert on fourth-and-3with a minute left. From there, the BigRed ran out the clock and punchedtheir ticket to the quarterfinal roundfor the first time since the 2005 season.

Head coach Bryant Hollingsworthsaid that the key to his team’s win wasdefense.

“I thought after we muffed a puntand the defense held, that was big,”Hollingsworth said. “The D came upbig when they needed to.

And they will have to again if theBig Red are to advance any further.

The Tigers will face Giles Co. (11-1)in Pulaski Friday night. Giles Co. beatDavid Lipscomb 32-6 to advance tothe quarterfinals.

“In order to get a win at Giles Co. weneed to cut down on mistakes andtake advantage of opportunities,”Hollingsworth said.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. inPulaski.

TOP: A whole host of Big Red defenders stops Page QB HoustonBagsby for little gain during second round playoff action at LHS Fri-day night. The Tigers held off the Patriots 21-14, thanks in part to asolid passing attack by QB Stu Jones (bottom left) and a decisivefourth-quarter interception by Brendon Frankell that led to BrysonCarver’s game-winning touchdown. The Tigers travel to Pulaski totake on Giles Co. in the quarterfinal round Friday night.
