Bonham and Jarrell coached track at Coffee County for nearly 30 years ending last spring.  Coach Jarrell retired last May following the state meet and Coach Bonham passed away in March of last year.   Coach Nathan Wanuch came up with the idea of the “Night of Miles” centering on the long and iconic history of the mile race and how it so closely paralleled the impact and longevity exhibited by Bonham and Jarrell.   In the open community mile about 40 people walked or ran the mile.  CHS alumni Andy Rosson took first place for the boys in a time of 6:02.  Fourth grade, Stones River Track Club athlete, Sophie McInturff claimed first place for the girls in 6:37.  In the invitational girls’ heat, CHS athlete Sarah Pearson barely edged teammate Emily St. John to win the event with a time of 6:04.51.  In the individual boys’ heat, Alec Beers from Birmingham, Alabama claimed first place in a time of 4:32.83.

Given that their bullpen was taxed after the Mets claimed a lopsided win on Wednesday night, the Braves weren’t necessarily upset that the first rain delay in SunTrust Park history led to a postponement of Thursday’s series finale.

Play was halted with the Mets holding a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning. However, everything that occurred before a one-hour, 59-minute rain delay essentially didn’t happen in terms of official results. The game will be made up in its entirety at a to-be-determined date later this season.
As the Mets chased Bartolo Colon after just four innings in their 16-5 win on Wednesday night, they forced the Braves to use five different relievers, including long man Josh Collmenter.
“It kind of gives the bullpen a day to breathe,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We have three more games before the next off-day. Obviously, you want to play them, and you want to win against them, but we wouldn’t have even gotten four innings out of the starter today because when the rain delay ended, we’d have had to go to the bullpen. All those guys that pitched last night were going to have to go again.”
Minutes before the delay, Jay Bruce had given the Mets a lead with a two-run home run off Jaime Garcia. The only run the Braves tallied came courtesy of the back-to-back doubles by Brandon Phillips and Freddie Freeman against Mets starter Zack Wheeler.
Wheeler, a Georgia native, mused: “It is Atlanta — it does rain a lot.” But Mets manager Terry Collins was less at peace with waiting out a nearly two-hour delay before learning of the postponement. Heavy rain had been in the forecast throughout the day, and the two teams would have had to play five innings in a little more than an hour to have gained an official game before the rain delay began at 8:44 p.m. ET.
“I have too much respect for the people in Atlanta to say much,” Collins said.
The rainout will not affect New York’s rotation. Rafael Montero is still scheduled to pitch Friday night against the Marlins, though with heavy rain in the forecast throughout the tri-state area, that game could be in jeopardy as well. If the Mets don’t play, they will skip Montero, keeping everyone else on their regular turn.
All guests holding a paid individual ticket for Thursday’s game may exchange it for a ticket of equal dollar value to any remaining 2017 regular-season Braves home game, including the rescheduled date. Mobile tickets will remain available in the MLB.com Ballpark app until the rescheduled date.
Guests can begin exchanging their tickets on Friday at any SunTrust Park ticket window, or by mail. All up-to-date information will be available at braves.com/rainout. If the tickets were purchased through Stubhub, they must be exchanged directly through Stubhub.

The Nashville Sounds pulled back to the even mark with a 5-4 win over the Round Rock Express Thursday night at Dell Diamond.
At 12-12, the Sounds have won six of their last seven games, including two of three in Round Rock with the #BattleForTheBoot series finale looming Friday night.
Before starter Chris Smith delivered his first pitch of the night, the Sounds gave him a 3-0 lead to work with. Jaycob Brugman, who went 3-for-4, doubled with one out and stayed at second when Mark Canha drew a walk off Round Rock hurler Eddie Gamboa.
Matt Olson made the free pass hurt when he launched a three-run blast to right field to give the Sounds an early 3-0 lead. It was the fourth home run of the season for Olson.
The Express bounced back in the bottom of the first with two runs. Ronald Guzman and Brett Nicholas collected run-scoring base hits, but Smith buckled down and struck out three consecutive batters with a runner at third to take a 3-2 lead to the second.
It didn’t stay that way for long as Chris Parmelee joined the home run action with a solo blast to right field to make it 4-2. With two home runs in the win, the Sounds have 19 over the last eight games.
Smith cruised in the middle innings as he scattered a few base runners. The veteran right-hander got double play groundballs to end the third, fourth, and fifth innings. He walked a pair and struck out eight in his second win of the season.
With one out in the top of the sixth, Sounds third baseman Matt Chapman ripped a triple to the gap in left-center, narrowing missing another home run. Parmelee followed with a sacrifice fly to extend Nashville’s lead to 5-2.
Smith worked into the sixth inning, but left with two on and two out. Chris Jensen relieved him and struck out Pat Cantwell to leave the tying run at the plate.
Jensen allowed a pair of runs in the seventh, but turned in a 1-2-3 eighth inning before handing over to Ross Detwiler. The lefty worked around a two-out base hit by Jurickson Profar to earned his second career save.
Brugman and Chapman had multi-hit games while Olson and Parmelee drove in all five of Nashville’s runs.
The series finale between the Sounds and Express is scheduled for Friday night at Dell Diamond. Right-hander Zach Neal (1-2, 4.87) starts for Nashville against right-hander Tyler Wagner (0-3, 9.55) for Round Rock. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

The Feaster triplets from Franklin County High School recently each signed a National Letter of Intent to continue their soccer careers as student-athletes at Motlow State Community College. Joining them for the signing ceremony, standing from left, are Andy Lyon, Motlow State head soccer coach; Dawn Feaster, mother; John Feaster, father; and Kent Bean, Franklin County High School head soccer coach. Seated, from left, are Hannah, Natalie and Tyler Feaster.

Triplets Hannah, Natalie and Tyler Feaster of Franklin County recently signed a National Letter of Intent to continue their soccer careers as student-athletes as Motlow State Community College.

The Feasters have all been four-year starters with the Rebelettes during their high school careers. Tyler earned first team All-District 8-AAA her senior season and Natalie earned second team honors following her junior season. All three have played select soccer with Camp Forest FC.

“We are very excited to have the Feasters join the Motlow State family,” said Andy Lyon, head coach of the Motlow soccer program. “Not only is it a unique story to have triplets on a college soccer team, but they are all excellent players who will help us establish ourselves as a unit. They all have different strengths and talents.

“Hannah brings defensive experience and a calming influence to the defense,” continued Lyon. “Natalie adds energy, fearlessness and the ability to play numerous positions. Tyler has great attacking instincts and will add excitement to the front line.

“The Feasters are excellent students as well as soccer players and they undoubtedly had multiple offers to continue as student-athletes at other places,” Lyon added. “We are delighted they chose Motlow State.”

Motlow will feature a women’s soccer team for the first time in school history this fall. The program will join the other four sports at Motlow and participate in the National Junior College Athletic Association on the Division I level.
