The script certainly couldn't have worked out finer for the Elizabethton Twins on Wednesday night.

 

 

 

Britni "Double B" Burleson tallied a pair of goals while Haley "Hill Stopper" Burleson got a goal as did Abbi "Trickster" Carey as the Junior Lady Cyclones opened the 2010 season with a big win.

The Hampton Bulldog golf team traveled to Blountville on Tuesday to participate in a three-way golf match with Sullivan East and University High on the Woods Course at Tri-Cities Golf Course.

 

 

It was no wonder the scoreboard was broken because if the Chargers keep up with scores every day in practice at the rate they were crossing the goal line against the Jr. Cyclones, one could see how it would blow a circuit board.

"Unbelievable.. that's all I can say," stated Coach Jordy Harrison of the Cyclones. "This was such a good win for our kids especially playing a school like that with as many kids as they have.

 

 

The Milligan College men's soccer team came up short in their season opener as they fell 3-1 to Savannah College of Art and Design on Monday afternoon at Anglin Field.

West Greene scored three times in the air while its defense shut out Cloudland for the second straight year in a 27-0 win at Orr Field Friday.

MOUNTAIN CITY -- Hampton's football team can't wait to get started. Johnson County is licking its wounds.

 

 

Last season Happy Valley and Unaka renewed their long-time rivalry for the first time in a decade before a packed house on Warrior Hill. Another overflow crowd is expected on Stoney Creek this time around for round two.

 

 

After years of frustration against the Highlanders -- think 0-5 record from 1999 to 2007 by a margin of 41.6 to 3.2 -- West Greene's had the last word in the recent rivalry under the direction of coach Joe Case with a 35-22 win two years ago and a 21-0 decision over CHS last season in Mosheim.

 

 

The senior has been filling a variety of roles thus far for the Highlanders and that's fine by him.

 

 

BLOUNTVILLE -- A gun show wasn't advertised in Blountville, but a whole lot of weapons were on display Thursday afternoon at Holston Middle School with the Junior Cyclones having the most artillery.
