Students get a jump on career preparation
More than 300 Robertson
County middle school students
recently visited Springfield High
School to see first-hand what
trade and career preparation
classes will be available to them
next year when they begin their
high school years.
Providing educational opportunities in more than 15 different
trades through their comprehensive Career and Technical Education program, SHS offers training
in occupational choices ranging
from automotive, to business, to
culinary options.
On Tuesday, students from
Coopertown Middle School visited SHS for a brief orientation
from Principal Teresa Leavitt,
and to meet CTE instructors and
consider course options. Springfield Middle School students followed on Wednesday. Between
the two schools, Leavitt said they
will comprise the largest incoming
freshman class that SHS has ever
had.
Other county high schools
lack the full complement of CTE
classes but are still able to provide
their students with opportunities
through the SHS program.

Girls will go to state
competition in April
Five Jo Byrns High School students
braved snow and ice on Feb. 27, to travel
to Clarksville for the North Middle District History Day competition at Austin
Peay State University.
The five, Makayla Green, Emily Lancaster, Taylor Gregory, Cheyenne Schlueter and Cara Daniel, all placed in the event
and will now travel to Nashville on April
11, for the state competition.
Teachers, Chesley Goosetree and Jennifer
Mayo coached and mentored the group and
say they are very proud of their achievements.
“They did it on a snow day and they
hadn’t seen us since Feb. 13th,” said Goosetree. “They did a fantastic job, and we
couldn’t be more proud.”
The road to their accomplishments began last November when they and other
classmates began working on a History Day
project at the school level. Basing their projects on the theme of “Leadership and Legacy,” and working either individually or as
teams, they chose a historical personality to
present. In January, the competitors were
judged by peers and school leadership, based
on established judging criteria. The five that
emerged from this competition went on to
APSU where they all placed either first or
second in their respective competitions.
Schlueter and Gregory, working as a
team created an exhibit on Walter Camp,
considered the, “Father of Football”. They
titled their exhibit, “From Dirt to Turf.”
Lancaster and Green’s exhibit was on
evangelist Billy Graham and was called,
“Eternal Legacy.” Daniel’s submission was
a paper on Joan of Arc, which she submitted individually. Each of the entries was
judged on a combination of public presentation and questioning by judges.
At the end of the day, Green and Lancaster placed second in their group competition,
and Schlueter and Gregory, along with Daniel, placed first in their respective divisions.
In Nashville the five will compete
against entrants from the five other state
districts. Once they receive their final
judging assessments from the APSU competition, they’ll determine what, if any,
changes or adjustments they’ll make to
their presentation for the April event.

County to discuss funding of new
school rezoning in Robertson
Public invited to Holy Week services
First Presbyterian
Church in Springfield
By WALTER GEORGE
Robertson County Connection
The Robertson County commission and
the county school board will be holding a
work session on Tuesday, March 31, County
Mayor Howard Bradley announced during
last week’s regular meeting.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had anything like this, and the purpose is to explain to
the commissioners the particular details of the
recent settlement between the county Board of
Education and the United States Department
of Justice; in other words what we have agreed
to, as well as ways to fund some of these things,”
Bradley said. “We also will be talking to the board
about the renovation at Watauga Elementary
School in the city of Ridgetop, and there will be
some discussion about the Springfield Middle
School auditorium. It was built in 1938, and we
are anxious for the Robertson County players to
be able to move back in and for that space to be
more readily used by the community, so all of
these things will be brought up during our work
session. I don’t anticipate any votes being cast
that night but I am certain we will all leave here
much better informed.”
Bradley said there were three rezoning
requests which were all unanimously approved, and under new resolutions, Commissioner Lanny Adcock, chairman of the
commission’s budget committee, brought
back to the group a resolution that had been
considered at the February meeting. The resolution was a budget amendment that called
for the addition of a person to the finance
department, who would be responsible for
compliance with internal revenue requirements for the affordable care act.
The resolution was approved, but only after lengthy discussion and Jody Stewart, the
county’s finance director’s appeal to the commission because of the need for the additional
help. Wes Dozier, who is the compliance officer for Five Points, the county’s software contractor, also spoke to the commission in favor
of the resolution, which helped to bring about
approval on a vote of 16 to 5.
The budget amendment approval will allow for the new person to be added to the
finance office until the end of the fiscal
year, June 30; ensuring Robertson County
Howard Bradley
remains compliant with all the parts of the
affordable care act, Bradley said.
Bradley also commented on the Meals
on Wheels program.
“This is such a great program because not
only are there seniors that are often times
shut in and unable to drive themselves to
acquire food, that are the recipients of a hot
meal, but are also the recipients of a warm
visit, which is every bit as important,” he said.
“The Meals on Wheels program does a lot of
good in our county, as well as all counties.
“We currently have 37 people that are on a
waiting list that are not receiving food, simply
because there is not a driver, or no food supplies that can be allocated to those people.”
Bradley said that was the driving force for
Applebee’s restaurant hosting a pancake breakfast on Saturday, March 28, from 7 to 9 a.m.
“For only $5, there’s a breakfast of pancakes, sausage, milk, coffee and juice,” he said.
“First of all it’s a great deal, but most importantly, it benefits Meals on Wheels so we hope
you will be at Applebee’s for this event, and
they will also accept any cash donation that
you might want to make for their program.”
The next regularly scheduled meeting
of the county commission will be Monday,
April 20 at 7 p.m. in the juvenile court room
of the county office building.
Programs include prayer, music, guest
speakers
Holy Week Services will be held March 29
through April 3 at 12 noon at the First Presbyterian Church in Springfield, at the corner
of 5th Ave and Locust Street. The services are
being sponsored by Mt. Sharon Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, Mt. Denson Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and the First
Presbyterian Church of Springfield.
Services will begin at noon each day and conclude at 12:30 p.m. A light lunch will be offered
in the historic 1839 Building to those who want
to remain and fellowship after the service. Do-

Heritage blasts Hunters Lane

Robertson County Connection
White House Heritage got their first win of
the season on Thursday as the Patriots took
down Hunters Lane, 18-4. It was a big day for
the Patriots’ bats as they scored seven runs in
the fifth inning and had 10 hits on the day.
Heritage did a great job of staying ahead of
the pitcher, which gave them the freedom to
pick and choose their pitches.
Brennan Harper and Ryan Keller led
the way for the Patriots driving in three runs
apiece. Harper also had two hits and scored
one run in his three plate appearances.
Thomas Thurman crossed the plate three
times for Heritage while five other players
scored at least two runs.
The Patriots threw two arms at Hunters
Lane as Keller and Jacob Thompson took the
mound. Each player threw three innings and
they combined for 10 strike-outs.
Hunters Lane went into the top of the second with a one-run lead, 3-2. The Patriots tied
up the game in the bottom of the second and
never looked back. Heritage scored 13 of their
runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
The Patriots did a good job hitting the ball
hard and clean forcing Hunters Lane to commit seven defensive errors on the day.
Heritage will look to get their second win of
the season on Tuesday, March 24 as the Patriots welcome in visiting Westmoreland.
Lady Jackets give up
two bombs, lose, 11-1

SPRINGFIELD – The Springfield
Lady Yellow Jackets welcomed in
visiting Henry County on Tuesday.
Springfield gave up one grand slam
and a two run blast in the 11-1 loss.
Stayce Pollard took the circle for
the Jackets, and after Henry County
loaded the bases, the Patriots blasted
one over the left-center wall for a
grand salami putting the Jackets in
an early 0-4 hole.
After two strikeouts and a pop fly
to right field in the bottom half of the
first, Pollard and the rest of the Yellow Jacket defense trotted back out
looking to “get ahead of the Patriots batters,” according to head coach
Daniel Owsley.
A lead-off double put a runner in
scoring position and the next batter
for the Patriots put one over the fence
for a two-run jack giving the Patriots
a 6-0 lead in the top of the second inning.
After no action in the third inning,
the bats started to get going for the
Jackets as Shayla Townsend connected with a pitch that reached the
fence as she trotted into second base
for a stand up double. Morgan Clark
drove in Townsend from second after
a solid knock that put her at second
base with only one out and her team
down 6-1.
Springfield looked poised to cut
into the Patriots’ lead but it was the
pitching for Henry County that came
through when they needed it.
Henry County plated six more runs
after the threat from Springfield. The
Lady Jackets dropped to 0-1 on the
young season.
You can catch the Lady Jackets in
action at home on Thursday, March
26 as they welcome in division rival,
Clarksville Northeast at 4:30 p.m.

2014-15 Robertson County Connection
PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
Tom Thurman,
Heritage, Sr.
Thurman scored 13 points
a game and his stats alone
supported his winning player
of the year. However, what really set him apart in our minds
was the attitude he brought
to the floor every night. He
wasn’t the biggest or strongest
player, but he has heart and
is tough as nails. He was aggressive about taking the ball
to the basket, which resulted
in some hard fouls against
him. His response would be
to bounce up and make his
free throws. He was an excellent defender and a good shooter and scorer. He always wanted
the ball in his hands in tight situations or whenever his team
needed a lift. Thurman is a good role model for any young player
who wants to be a success on the court.
Heritage Coach Mike Petrone: “We asked Tom to play twoguard as well as point guard and he did a really good job no matter
where we put him. He was our best defensive player and I always
could put him on the other team’s best player. He made our team
go. When he scored, we won. Tom was just a good solid leader.”
GAME OF THE YEAR:
Jo Byrns 40 East Robertson 37, Jan. 20, 2015
There were several exciting games this season including
Springfield’s overtime victory over Clarksville NW, Heritage’s
comeback and one point win over Greenbrier and East Robertson edging Heritage, 45-43.
The game we chose was not only well-played and competitive, but also had special meaning. The Jan. 20 game between
Jo Byrns and East Robertson was one of the most memorable
nights of the season as East Robertson honored Jo Byrns coach
Ronny Carlisle, who was coaching his final game against the Indians. It was a touching evening as Carlisle’s family joined him
before the game – including wife Marcia, son Eli, who is an East
Robertson assistant coach and son Chance, who was a senior
playing for his dad at Jo Byrns.
Jo Byrns had a slight lead most of the game and East Robertson cut the advantage to just a single point on three separate occasions in the fourth quarter.
However, the Red Devils responded each time, sank some
clutch free throws and when East Robertson Seth Remo’s final
three-point attempt missed by a whisker at the buzzer, Jo Byrns had escaped with a 40 -37 win.
After the game, East Robertson coach Neil Murphy praised
his counterpart who he coached against for many years.
“I have the utmost respect for him,” Murphy said. “He’s
been a class act back to when I played and as a coach he’s always been very supportive of me and very complimentary of
our teams. You appreciate being around guys like Coach Carlisle. You hate to see him get out of it, but after 40-plus years I’m
sure he’s made the decision that’s best for him and I know he’s
excited about being ready to retire. I wish him all the best, it’s
been fun to compete against him. We’ve always had competitive games, you saw that tonight.”
As for Carlisle, his comments after the game showed he had
his priorities in order.
“It’s the memories that matter, not the wins,” Carlisle said.
“It’s the friends you make along the way.”
FIRST TEAM:
Timmie Barbee,
Springfield, Sr.
Barbee is the best athlete in the county whether
he is on the football field
or basketball court. He
is a very tough defender
who forced a whole bunch
of turnovers. The 10-AAA
All-District player scored
9.5 points a game had 69
steals, 115 assists and was
always a threat to either
score or create opportunities for others.
Springfield
Coach
Tim Riley: “Timmie was
the best player on our team in terms of steals, assists, deflections….he was our leading scorer and many of his points
came off of those things he created. I really enjoyed watching him grow the past couple of years.”
Lane Eden, East
Robertson, Sr.
Eden averaged 11
points a game and is an
excellent passer for a big
man. He could take the
ball to the basket but you
also had to guard against
him stepping back and hitting a three-pointer. His
toughness and inside play
will be tough to replace.
East
Robertson
Coach Neil Murphy:
“Lane helped tremendously with rebounds both offensively and defensively. He was
a good leader and one of our top scorers.”
Brandon Berry,
Heritage, Soph.
Berry was the big man
inside for Heritage and
he averaged 13 points a
game. Heritage was at
their best when they were
dumping the ball inside to
Berry. He seemed to get
stronger the longer the
game went on and came
up big in the second half
of several games.
Heritage Coach Mike
Petrone: “Brandon is a
real tough guy. He led the
team in rebounds and did
all the dirty work inside.
He was a good defender who always guarded the other
team’s big man.”
Sam Hall, Jo Byrns, Sr.
Point guard Hall averaged 8 points, 5 assists,
4 rebounds and 3 steals a
game. A fantastic athlete,
he played with passion
and was the leader on a Jo
Byrns squad that won 11
games this season.
Jo Byrns Coach Ronny Carlisle: “Sam was like
having a coach on the playing floor as it should be
with a good point guard.
He brought alot of energy
on defense, fast breaks
and rebounding. He made
players better by giving up the ball with his assists.” Talarico Cogshell, Jr.
Cogshell could do it
all for the Yellow Jackets
and he did it the entire
season. He averaged 8.2
points and 4.5 rebounds
a game. Because he can
handle the ball, rebound
well, play good defense,
etc. he is a perfect fit in
Coach Riley’s system. He
will play a big role next
season as Springfield
looks to go deeper in the
post-season.
Springfield Coach
Tim Riley: “Rico was
our leading rebounder and real effective on the press. He
handled the ball and was an all-around good player. Our
team was at its best when he was on the floor.”

9
All-County Boys Basketball Team
SECOND TEAM:
Drew Dever,
Greenbrier, Sr.
Dever did a good job
handling and distributing the ball but he also
had some big games
scoring for the Bobcats. His dropped in 18
in his team’s win over
Sycamore and another
18 against Clarksville
Academy.
Greenbrier Coach
Clint Mason: “Drew
was our senior leader
on the court. We looked
to have the ball in his
hands when teams pressured us full court.”
Nick DesMarais,
Heritage, Soph.
DesMarais had some
big games for the Patriots, including scoring 13
points in the team’s big
win over Harpeth. He’s
a good shooter and takes
the ball to the basket
well. Next season he will
be counted on to be one
of the team’s top scorers.
Heritage
Coach
Mike Petrone: “Nick is
a solid player. He shoots
the ball well and he is a
good athlete. He is going to keep working and
he should be a real good
ballplayer for us.”
Seth Stroud, East
Robertson, Sr.
Point guard Stroud averaged 11 points a game.
He was a fierce competitor who played hard and
never shied away from
taking the ball to the basket. He was an emotional
leader for the Indians.
East
Robertson
Coach Neil Murphy:
“Seth was a good leader
who helped direct our
offense with his senior
experience.”
Kaelin McGhee, Jo
Byrns, Sr.
McGhee
averaged
10 points a game and is
strong from the outside.
McGhee had some big
games from the floor including the one against
McEwen when he scored
22 points. He won two
games on last second
shots.
Jo Byrns Coach
Ronny Carlisle: “Kaelin
was a shooting guard and
our best shooter. When
he was in his zone he was
fun to watch. He is what kept us in most of our games.”
Dalaino Walker,
Springfield, Soph.
Walker really came
on in the second half of
the season. He scored in
double-figures in four
of the Yellow Jackets’
last six games. He hit
some big shots but none
more important than
the three-pointer at the
buzzer over a much taller Clarksville NW player
to send that game into
overtime.
Springfield Coach
Tim Riley: “Dalaino
was the best shooter on
the team. He was also a solid rebounder and he always
played hard when he was on the court.”
COACH OF THE YEAR:
Mike Petrone, Heritage
Heritage finished 14-13
overall, 7-5 in District 9-AA
and they were the third seed
in the district tournament.
Petrone really had his team
playing good basketball
down the stretch. They won
seven of their last 11 games
heading into the district
tournament and all four
losses were by single digits.
Petrone did a good job working his younger players more
and more into the line-up as
the season wore on and they
got more confidence. While he loses four seniors, Petrone
has a strong team coming back next season. Petrone is a
tough veteran coach, but underneath the tough exterior is
a coach who cares for his players. His players seemed to feel
the same way. “Playing for Coach Petrone has been such a
blessing,” senior Evan Risden said after the season ended.
