  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports The first tier of the postseason will run through J.C. Sawyers Stadium at Dyersburg High School as the Lady Trojans rallied from a one-goal deficit to defeat Crockett County 2-1 on Monday night at home. The game remained tied at 0-0 through much of the first half before a corner kick from Crockett County led to a Lady Cavalier goal and a 1-0 lead for the visitors. Dyersburg, though, had spent much of the first half on the Crockett County side of midfield and had several close calls. Those finally paid off late in the first half as Haddy Manneh put the ball in the goal in the 38th minute to tie the game at 1-1 at the half. The Lady Trojans wasted little time in the second half getting on the board as Manneh scored on a rebound of a Meredith Zamzow shot to put her team on top 2-1 in the 47 th minute. From there, the Lady Trojans fended off Crockett County while nearly adding to their lead on the way to the win. The win cli...

  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports It was a big day for a lot of local high school golfers as The Farms hosted the Region 8A Tournament beginning on Monday morning. When all was said and done that afternoon, Dyer County’s boys golf team punched its ticket to the TSSAA Class A State Tournament next week   in Sevierville while a pair of other local golfers took home the individual titles. The region win marks Dyer County’s first trip to state in either boys or girls golf as a team in school history. “The greens were in tough spots so, when you were approaching the hole, you had to be strategic about it,” Dyer County Head Coach Lyle LaRue said. “You had to maybe not go for the birdies but aim for the safe part of the green. “From what I can tell that’s what they were doing the whole match. Put in on the back of the green and keep it in play and you’ve got a chance.” Dyer County was led by freshman Beau Thurman, who shot a 74 to finish in a four-way tie f...

  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports After suffering their first loss in school history to rival Dyer County last month, the Dyersburg Middle School girls soccer team paid back the Lady Choctaws on Sunday afternoon by ending the orange and white’s season with a 5-1 loss in the semifinals of the TSSAA DIII District 13AA Tournament in Newbern.

This one came in the 28 th minute and put the Lady Trojans on top 3-0 at the half. Dyersburg got on the board again early in the second half as a foul in the box during the 36 th minute led t...

  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports A quartet of first-half turnovers both stung the Rebels and benefitted the Trojans, who jumped out to a 28-0 lead at the half before Central made things interesting the second half as Dyersburg had two touchdowns wiped off the board before claiming a 37-20 win over Obion County Central on Friday night in Troy. Dyersburg Head Coach Bart Stowe agreed the big lead early was all about taking advantage of the opportunities the Trojans were given thanks to turnovers. “Was really proud of us in the first half,” Stowe explained. “In the second half, we came out and made some mistakes. “I’m really proud of our defense. Our defense stepped up and got a safety. In the second half, we had two touchdowns called back. Holy smokes! Because of errors that we made. Simple errors that we’ve got to correct.” Stowe added the Trojans were playing some of their team in different positions due to injuries, but that was part of it. “Really pro...
