He also received an offer from Louisville. WR Markerion Johnson was selected as a top 5 WR at the VTO camp. Keep grinding Tigers!

kwc Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 The young man you talking about is the one who caught the TD Thanks for looking into that. That's good to know. We will once again be loaded at the WR position. On another note: I have to admit that Austin, Lesley, and John Monger all looked good at the QB position. If I had to rank them just based off of what I saw against Trezevant, I'd go Leslie, John, and then Austin. With it being real close between John and Leslie. Now, I know Austin wasn't 100%, that's why he had the yellow jersey on. I'll take that into account. That's just my personal opinion based off of the limited exposure referenced.

kwc Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Whitehaven girls in running for 2nd straight track title May 21, 2016 Kiara Rhodes, Whitehaven track By John Varlas of The Commercial Appeal May 21, 2016 It's a strange approach for a defending state champion to take. But Whitehaven's girls track team is approaching Spring Fling as the underdog. "That's actually how we're approaching it, to be honest," said coach Yusuf Sharif. "We lost so much talent from last year that people thought we'd fall off. I'm so proud; I didn't dream they would perform this well. They've worked their butts off." The Lady Tigers will be one of the Memphis-area teams to keep an eye on when the competition gets underway at various locations around Murfreesboro. The decathlon starts things off Monday before baseball, soccer, softball and tennis get underway Tuesday. Sharif's team will be one of three from the area in the mix for a team title. "It's going to be close," he said. "Southwind and Houston can score, and Brentwood and Ravenwood are good too." Despite the graduation of multiple state champ Maia McCoy, the Tigers will be very strong in the sprints behind Kiara Rhodes, Ceirra Tate and Kirstin Jones. Briana Shaw has the second-best triple jump in the state this year. Houston's strength is in the distance races; the Mustangs swept the 800 (Shian Mallory), the 1,600 (Ella Baran) and the 3,200 (Michelle Myers) at the sectional meet. Southwind's hopes will rest on strong performances from Angelica Lightfoot, Destiny Wilhite and Jordan Ray. Mitchell's Dominique Chatman, a University of Memphis signee, will be looking to win her third straight A-AA championship in the 400 and should also contend in the 100 and 200. In Division 2, keep an eye on ECS' Jordan Shackleford, the sectional champ in the pentathlon, 100 meters and 110 hurdles, and Briarcrest's Savanna Owens (200, 400) and Alyssa Neuberger (300 hurdles). A good performance at state would be a nice going-away present for retiring Saints coach Bill Doss. The boys competition should also see plenty of Memphis-area success. Rashad Haynes, the sectional champ in the 100, the long jump and the decathlon, and hurdler Josh Owten lead a deep and talented Central team that will be looking to repeat its 2015 championship. Calvin Austin III of Harding set records while sweeping the 100, 200 and 400 at the regional meet and will be one of the heavy favorites in D2, alongside MUS' outstanding 800-meter specialist, Terell Jackson.

kwc Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Spring Fling: Memphians finish second in girls pentathlons Jim Weber/The Commercial Appeal May 23, 2016 - Whitehaven's Kiara Rhodes reacts when she learns that she lost the state pentathlon title by one point during girls state track finals in Murfreesboro. May 23, 2016 - Whitehaven's Kiara Rhodes (front) rounds the second curve with Southwind's Destiny Wilhite close on her heals while running the 800M during the AAA girls pentathlon at Spring Fling in Murfreesboro. (Jim Weber/The Commercial Appeal) May 23, 2016 - Southwiond's Angelica Lightfoot reacts to a missed attempt in the high jump while competing in the AAA girls pentathlon during state track finals at Spring Fling in Murfreesboro. (Jim Weber/The Commercial Appeal) May 23, 2016 - Whitehaven's Kiara Rhodes places first in the high jump while competing in the AAA girls pentathlon during state track finals at Spring Fling in Murfreesboro. (Jim Weber/The Commercial Appeal) By John Varlas of The Commercial Appeal Yesterday 7:40 p.m. If the rest of this week's BlueCross Spring Fling is anything like Monday's AAA pentathlon, the faint of heart would be well advised to stay as far away from Murfreesboro as possible. Whitehaven junior Kiara Rhodes finished with 3,043 points, one point behind the winner, Amber Tanner of Ravenwood. Rhodes went into the final event, the 800 meters, in second place, 155 points ahead of Tanner and behind Southwind senior Angelica Lightfoot. But Tanner, who has signed with the University of Georgia, took control of the race early and surged to victory in a time of 2:15.54. Rhodes was second but well back at 2:27.74. Another second faster and the title would have been hers. "I don't feel too bad," she said. "I just have to try and come back stronger next year." Lightfoot, who finished the 800 in 2:38.13, dropped into third place, one spot ahead of her teammate Destiny Wilhite. For Rhodes, it was a meet of missed opportunities. "I missed (on) two jumps jumping off my left foot and I ended up at 17-5 instead of 18," she said. "And in the high jump, I was going for 5-4 but going for 5-4 but I only got 5-2. And I did worse in the shot (put) than I usually do." The Memphis area also earned a second-place finish in D2, with Harding's Sarah Luttrell amassing 3,091 points to finish behind defending champ Tyra Gittens of Nashville Ensworth, who won comfortably with 3,770 and took first in four of the five events. "I felt good this morning and I PR'd (set a personal record) in my first two events so I felt good going into the last three events," she said. "And I knew (going into the 800) that I had to run my best time of the season to score 3,000. That was my goal." Briarcrest's Alyssa Neuberger, who ran down Luttrell in the stretch to win the 800, ended up in third place while Molly Martin of ECS came in fifth. Jordan Shackleford of ECS, who won the West Region title and who had the second-best qualifying score behind Gittens coming in, withdrew after the opening 100-meter hurdles with an ankle injury. It's hoped that she'll still be able to participate in the individual competition, which begins Thursday. Monday was also the first day of competition in the decathlon and Briarcrest's Daniel Tell was the best local performer. He's in second place in Division 2 with 3,140 points, 409 behind George Patrick of Brentwood Academy. Region champion Rashad Haynes of Central is in third place in AAA, trailing leader Jacob Subota of Bearden and Nathan Johnson of Independence.
