Following his team’s come-from-behind win over Fulton County last week in Tiptonville, Lake County Head Coach Hunter Short has been honored by his peers with an award encompassing three classifications across Tennessee.

The Tennessee Football Coaches Association has named Short as last week’s Coach of the Week for Class 1A-3A.

“Man it’s a big honor to me that fellow coaches have noticed the hard work that’s being put into the program,” Short said of the honor. “It’s an honor that makes me know that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing exactly where I’m supposed to be doing it.”

"The time and effort he puts into his kids and program are second to none," Lake County Schools Athletic Director Mike Moore said. "And to be selected by his peers shows that they notice what is transpiring in Lake Co. Very deserving!!"

Lake County stands at 3-2 (0-1 in Region 7-1A) as the Falcons prepare to return to region play for the rest of the season this week. First up is West Carroll this Friday night in Tiptonville. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
