The Coffee County Middle School Swim Team had 4 of their members take part in a middle school only meet on Friday at LaVergne High School and each one had a tremendous showing on the evening. Competing in their first meet that was exclusively middleschool racers, the Red Raiders exceeded all expectations against 6 Rutherford County middle school programs. Coach Lana Ray was overflowing with praise for her young squad saying: “They swam so well(on Friday) and each one of them has improved all season long.” The team has swam this season in meets with the high school team, but this was their time to shine on their own stage. “That was a big part of their energy swimming against their peers. It was a lot of fun for them” added Ray.

Kennedy Norman-Young won the 50M freestyle and placed 3rd in the 100M breaststroke and William Tobbitt finished 3rd in the 100M freestyle and 3rd in the 50M freestyle. Each swimmer improved on their personal best times and each have posted times fast enough to qualify for the region meet to be held in Nashville on Saturday, January 30th.
Preds Shut Out by Coyotes
Pete Weber’s Postgame Report
Louis Domingue stopped all 26 shots he faced, and the Arizona Coyotes defeated the Nashville Predators 4-0 at Gila River Arena on Saturday night.
Nashville was shut out for the first time since Nov. 23, 2015, and wasn’t able to solve Domingue on the night, giving them their 16th regulation loss of the season.
“We have to be better,” Head Coach Peter Laviolette said. “There’s no excuse; we have to start playing well enough to win games, not just playing games where it’s not good enough to win. There’s a difference. We need more.”
“Tonight again, it was just not good enough,” defenseman Roman Josi said. “We don’t have enough energy, we don’t battle enough, hard enough, and we don’t score goals. It’s just not good enough what we’re doing. We have to win some games here, and we’re not doing our job right now.”
Preds goaltender Carter Hutton got his sixth start of the season, and made his mark early, stopping Anthony Duclair on a penalty shot 2:13 into the contest. Hutton finished with 10 saves through a scoreless first period in which the Preds registered 15 shots.
Arizona capitalized on a power play early in the middle frame, as Antoine Vermette tallied his 200th career goal and put one home on the doorstep for a 1-0 lead that carried into the second intermission.
Tobias Rieder gave Arizona a 2-0 lead only 55 seconds into the third period, and after withstanding a late Nashville push, Rieder scored into an empty net and then Duclair added another in the dying seconds.
“Everybody’s trying, everybody wants to win and we have a great group of guys, but sometimes you just go through those struggles and we have to find a way out of it,” Josi said. “It’s not a lack of the willingness to win, but we got to correct a lot of things and just get better.”
The Preds continue onto Chicago to face the Blackhawks on Tuesday, another test against one of the League’s top teams, as the halfway point of the season is now in the rearview.
“We’re in a playoff race, and it’s going to go by fast,” Josi said. “You have to win those games right now. You can’t wait until the end of the year to win games and think you’re going to make the playoffs. Everybody’s catching up and we need some points.”
The Predators head to Chicago ahead of a matchup with the Blackhawks on Tuesday evening, the third outing of Nashville’s current four-game trip, before finishing in Winnipeg on Thursday. Thunder Radio will bring you the broadcast of Tuesday night’s game immediately following CHS Basketball.
Man Convicted of Murder in 2007 gets New Trial
Adam Brasell
The crime, which occurred on Jan. 7, 2006 resulted in the killing of Malcolm Burrows and the assault Rebecca Hill. Hill died in the years since the conviction.
In his Dec. 25, 2015, ruling, Angel granted relief from conviction or sentence, voiding Braseel’s convictions and ordering a new trial.
Angel concluded that Braseel’s “allegation that he did not receive effective assistance of counsel at the jury trial was supported by clear and convincing evidence at the post-conviction hearing” held in November.
Angel states he “placed emphasis on the credibility and sufficiency of the identifications testified to at trial. Again, no other evidence, DNA or other, that link Braseel to the crimes. The jury clearly relied on the identification of Braseel by Rebecca Hill and a man by the name of Kirk Braden.”
During the trial, Hill actually identified another person from a lineup, and Braden identified Braseel from a single-photo lineup, according to Angel. A single-photo lineup has been ruled unconstitutional in other cases and Braseel’s trial lawyers failed in 2007 to move to suppress either lineup, Angel noted.
Twelfth Judicial District Assistant District Attorney Steve Strain was the prosecutor in the 2007 trial. He says, “We disagree with the court’s ruling and we have filed a notice of appeal.”
Braseel’s lawyer, Knoxville-based Doug Trant, said the state’s appeal was expected.
A new trial date will be announced.
State Senator Wants Changes in DHS
State Senator Jim Tracy of Shelbyville
Comptroller audits and investigations have identified financial mismanagement and fraud within some of the federal food programs managed by DHS. Tracy said many of the problems are the result of DHS’ ineffective monitoring of third-party agencies that receive taxpayer money to feed children and adults.
Senate Bill 1472 will require DHS to file monthly reports to certain legislative committees, the state comptroller’s office and the speakers of both chambers on a variety of issues, including its monitoring activities and internal audit functions.
An independent hotline will also be set up within DHS to allow employees to report internal misconduct. DHS will be prohibited from terminating any employee without providing a written explanation to the Tennessee General Assembly. (Shelbyville Times-Gazette)
It’s Back To Work Time For Tennessee Lawmakers
Tennessee State Capital
All 99 House seats are up in November, along with 16 of 33 Senate seats. Given the overwhelming Republican advantages in both chambers, the April 7 candidate filing deadline will be key to incumbents looking to avoid primary challenges.
Politically difficult bills have traditionally been pushed until after the deadline to give lawmakers without serious opposition the freedom to cast tough votes. But given the recent trend of wrapping up the session in mid-April, there won’t likely be much time left to put off controversial issues such as Gov. Bill Haslam’s push to increase road funding revenues, most likely through a gas tax hike.

Coffee County Falls in Home Region Matches on Thursday
Josh Tobitt(right) gains leverage over his Blackman opponent on Thursday night
The Coffee County Central High School wrestling team hosted Blackman and Tullahoma on Thursday night at the Coffee County Raider Academy in a big region dual meet. The Red Raiders had their hands full with a pair of the top teams in the Region visiting “The Meat Grinder.” With the odds stacked against them, the Raider grapplers fared pretty well in the underdog role.
Dustin Seals rolls his Blackman opponent up in a cradle to score a pinfall win on Thursday night.
Against Blackman, Coffee County started slow dropping their 1st four matches, 2 by forfeit and 2 by 1st round pins. At 132 pounds, Rein Bozich took his opponent to the 3rd round in a match that seemed to embolden the young and overmatched Raiders. From there, Owen Teague(at 138 pounds) got a 1st round pin for Coffee County’s 1st points. Josh Tobitt(180) and Dustin Seals(285) also got 1st round pins while Harry Hosea(195) earned 3 points when he lost a close 18 to 16 decision in a close match. Coffee County’s wrestlers took 4 of their last 6 losses to the 3rd round as they fell 62 to 18 to 13th ranked Blackman. Coach Roger Barlow thought his squad “wrestled their tail off.”

Unfortunately, Coffee County could not carry that momentum over into its match with Tullahoma losing 64 to 9 against the Wildcats. The Wildcats, coming off a 40 to 39 tiebreaker loss to Blackman in the second match of the night, scored 8 first round pins to dominate the match. Owen Teague(138) had the match of the night for Coffee County as he earned 3 points in a hard fought, 3 round, 4 to 2 decision win over his Wildcat opponent. Josh Tobitt(182) also earned a forfeit win for Coffee County’s lone points. The Coffee County wrestlers are back in action on Saturday as they travel to Smyrna to participate in the Redhawk Rampage to be held at Stewarts Creek.
