Crockett Resilience on Display as National Remembrance Takes Center Stage
By Ron Barry

By the time you read this, it will be September 11, 2026 – the 25th anniversary of one of the most unspeakable tragedies in United States history, when terrorist-hijacked planes were intentionally crashed into New York City’s Twin Towers and the Pentagon in Washington, D. C. Another plane was prevented from its target by the heroic actions of its passengers, who rushed the terrorists and sacrificed their own lives to take the plane down in a Pennsylvania field.
Almost 3,000 people lost their lives that day. Only God knows how many more were saved by the quick actions of first responders in the affected areas.
For the days that followed, the United States were just that: united. This nation came together in a magnificent outpouring of compassion, aid, and resolve that showed the rest of the world what can be accomplished when its citizens have a common goal: the common good.
Since then – because of the resilience that has traditionally been an American trademark – the USA has survived global wars, financial crises, worldwide pandemics, governmental and religious scandals, and a parade of bloviating politicians capable of making anybody’s skin crawl – unless, of course, they’re on your “side.” We’ve survived because enough of us haven’t yet given up on the idea that we’re a better people than the recent track record has showed.
In the week following the 2001 attack, “Never Forget” became the catchphrase of the day. But two years later, Savannah’s Darryl Worley became the USA’s top country music celebrity when he wrote “Have You Forgotten?”, because divisions were beginning to arise and partisan politics and the insistence on individual rights were getting more attention than the bonds and values that have traditionally defined most American households and communities. Worley followed up in 2023 with “Have We Forgotten?”, because things were getting even worse.
As horrible as the events of September 11, 2001 were, we still saw the best of what this country can be.
Twenty-five years later, is there still a chance we can rediscover the respect, civility, and yes – even the grace – with which we treated each other back then? Can we still find common goals? Can we disagree without becoming disagreeable? Let’s hope these questions can still be answered with a resounding “yes.”
When 9/11 shook us to our core in 2001, the world of sports helped tremendously in bringing the country back to “normalcy.” Mike Piazza’s winning home run in the New York Mets’ first game back at Shea Stadium was a major contributor to the healing process in that city. When President George W. Bush took the mound in Yankee Stadium before Game 3 of the World Series, gave a “thumbs-up” to the sellout crowd, and then delivered a perfect-strike first pitch, the world saw that we believed then that everything was going to be all right.
Twenty-five years later, a couple of much smaller-scale Crockett County sports events from Thursday night showed that our young people are still displaying some of the traits we’d like to hang onto for a while.
HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER: Rebecca Waddey is a CCHS senior who is a model of perseverance and work ethic. The August and early September heat index has severely limited the Lady Cavaliers’ practice schedule. Add in the complexity of a new coach (Alex Taylor) and a different system of play, and an adjustment period would be entirely understandable.
Waddey, to her credit, never cares what the heat index says. If the team can’t practice together, so be it – but she can, and does, frequently by herself, wherever and whenever possible. That desire to excel has produced a player who can do things that many high school girls cannot – such as kicking equally well with either foot.
It was that special ability that paid off for Crockett Thursday in a district matchup with Dyer County at Cavalier Stadium, when Waddey – delivering a corner kick from the right side of the field – decided to do so with her left foot, so that the ball would be curling directly toward the Lady Choctaw goal. If the ball is moving toward the netting, it gives her teammates a much better chance of heading or deflecting the ball into the goal.
But Waddey has developed the skill known in soccer circles as “bend it like Beckham,” a phrase describing English soccer star David Beckham’s uncanny ability to spin the ball with such force that it curls (“bends”) much more sharply than usual. Thursday – on this corner kick – Waddey curled the ball from the corner all the way into the net herself, providing the decisive goal in the Lady Cavaliers’ 2-1 victory.
Crockett had taken a 1-0 lead in the contest when sophomore Ruth Gourley made a rush from the right side and beat the Dyer County goalkeeper to the ball just before the two collided, directing it toward the left side of the goal. A hustling Caroline Scruggs got to it just before it went out of bounds, punching it into the net for the score at the 19:46 mark.
After the visiting Lady Choctaws evened the count with a successful direct kick at 6:42, Waddey curled in her difficult shot in the fading minutes of the opening half (at 3:55), and Crockett goalkeeper Hannah Wede and the Lady Cav defense made the 2-1 score hold up throughout the entire second half.
HIGH SCHOOL CROSS-COUNTRY: With the vast majority of her girls team involved in the soccer duel, Coach Julie Nass concentrated on her boys unit in the USJ Invitational in Jackson – and her crew responded with the first Top 3 finish as a team since the 2022 season.
Crockett’s boys finished tied for second place in the team standings with McKenzie, but were awarded second because the Cavs’ sixth man – Mase Utley – came in well ahead of McKenzie’s sixth man.
“We hammer the kids every day that they all matter, not just the top five,” said Nass. “They all have to work hard because you never know when you might be the tiebreaker. It paid off today for Mase, who is the only runner to drop his time at every race so far. He was very excited.”
Two Crockett runners medaled. Jose Aguirre was 12th and Uriel Diaz was 18th. Hutsen Stephens was 36th, Nathan Bailey 39th, Jose Diaz – bouncing back from an injury – was 49th, and Utley – giving the Cavs the tiebreaker edge – was 65th. Both Diazes, Utley, and Javier Aguirre all posted personal-best times in the race.
“To finish second with 15 complete boys teams here was fantastic for us,” Nass said. “I think they are starting to believe they can do this goal we set for them of returning to State as a team.”
On the girls side, junior Alivia Hale placed 10th in 23:48.72 to continue her streak of medaling in events – then promptly hit the road back to Alamo to play the second half of the soccer game. Crockett’s only other runner was Isabella Aguirre, but she set her own personal record with a 33:50.06 time on her way to 47th place.

CCHS Volleyballers Survive Marathon Match at Covington with Nail-Biting Comeback
By Ron Barry

If Crockett County volleyball coach Andrew Laman looks up at another scoreboard and sees 25-23 again – well, his nerves may not last much longer.
In the Lady Cavaliers’ last three matches, that score has appeared at the end of an incredible six sets – all won by Crockett. And while Laman is certainly grateful for the victories, he’s ready to welcome a bit of breathing room in some of them.
That wasn’t going to be the case Tuesday night as Crockett journeyed to Covington, where they faced a rematch of last season’s West Sectional duel for a TSSAA State Championship Tournament berth. Laman’s club eked out a 25-22, 25-22, 25-18 win in that one, and a repeat wouldn’t be easy, with the Lady Chargers returning one of the Memphis area’s best players in senior Ava McCalla.
With vengeance clearly on their minds Tuesday night, the hosts immediately seized Set #1 and won it 25-13. Crockett rallied to take Set #2 25-20, but Set #3 flashed that old familiar 25-23 result – but this time, unfortunately, the Lady Cavs were on the losing end. Now they’d have to win two straight sets to claim their sixth consecutive match triumph.
Set #4 ended – you guessed it – 25-23, but this time in Crockett’s favor. It would all boil down to a first-team-to-15-points Set #5.
At least it wouldn’t be 25-23, barring an overtime war of epic proportions. But it could be 15-13 – which it was – and Laman’s troops escaped with the victory, thanks to effective blocks and kills by Madi Collins and Wesley Thornton and effective serves down the stretch by Emilee Chandler.
“Man, that was too close for comfort,” Laman said after the marathon contest. “Covington is a good team – very scrappy, and they didn’t give us many easy balls back. We played far from our best, but still found a way to dig deep and win some points after being down 1-0 and then again being down 2-1.
“We normally play them in the Sectional game, so there’s a chance we could play them again if we make it that far – which, if we keep our heads straight, I believe we can. Our serving got more consistent and more accurate as the match went on, and I think that helped us a ton.”
Laman believes this is the best team Covington has fielded in that last several years, so he knows that yet another post-season rematch will be a tall order for his now 12-4 Lady Cavs. Crockett is 6-0 since returning from the White Station Spartan Showdown Tournament in Memphis. Next up is a match at Obion County Central on Thursday.
HIGH SCHOOL GOLF: Senior Rachel Crossnoe was the low medalist in the girls match, but Crockett fell in both of the team matches Tuesday by narrow margins to Dyersburg in a duel at The Farms.
Crossnoe’s 45 was the best score among the girls, but the Lady Trojans produced a team score of 95 to Crockett’s 97. Dyersburg’s total was achieved by Cally Cook (47) and Stella Madden (48). Alyssa Stricklin completed the Lady Cavs’ total with a 52.
The boys match was nip-and-tuck until the final hole, when two Cavs encountered triple bogeys that helped Dyersburg gain a 161-166 win. Trojan Ryan Wesson was the medalist with a 37, while Crockett’s Jack Shaver tied Dyersburg’s John David Morris with a 39 for second. The Cavs’ George Randall carded a 40, while Max Woods posted a 43 and Myles Perkins a 44. Dyersburg’s Brett Horner had a 41 and Jayce Ellerbrook a 44.
“It was hot,” said Coach Pate Randall, “and that’s not an easy course to walk.”
Crockett’s teams will compete in the Hornet Classic this coming Monday at the Humboldt Golf & Country Club.
HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER: Crockett’s girls soccer team – playing its first match in 19 days – was blanked 3-0 by Westview in Martin Tuesday.
“It was a tough loss tonight, but this team fought hard until the very end,” said Coach Alex Taylor. “We may not have gotten the result we wanted, but the heart, hustle, and determination were there from start to finish. I’m proud of these girls for never giving up and continuing to battle until the final whistle.”
The Lady Cavs will host Dyer County Thursday evening at 5:30.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Henderson County hung a pair of six-spots on Crockett in the second and fourth innings as the Lexington team claimed a 17-4 triumph over the now 5-5 CCMS Lady Cavs.
Henderson County pounded 12 hits in tandem with eight walks and three Crockett errors to produce its impressive offensive attack. No Lady Cav player had more than one hit, but Sami Dew drove in a pair of runs and Abbey McAnulty walked in both of her plate appearances. Farrah Maddux had a run-scoring hit and also tallied herself for Crockett, which will host South Gibson Thursday at 5:00.
MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL: CCMS defeated South Gibson 20-8 Tuesday night at Cavalier Stadium. The Cavaliers will travel to Martin next Tuesday to battle Westview.

WESLEY THORNTON COMMITS TO MISSISSIPPI STATE
By Ron Barry

Anyone who has seen Wesley Thornton compete in a sport knows she’s a bulldog. But NOW – she’s officially a Bulldog.
Crockett County High School’s multi-sport standout – still with two spring seasons to play – accepted an offer over the weekend to continue her phenomenal softball career at Mississippi State University upon graduation.
That the fulfillment of her athletic dream came over Labor Day weekend is no coincidence, either. Few high school athletes have demonstrated the work ethic displayed by the personable Thornton, who – despite being fully engaged school-year-round in three demanding sports – still spends a significant portion of her remaining limited time trying to improve her skills.
MSU head softball coach Samantha Ricketts and her staff made the call to the Thornton household on the first available day allowed by the NCAA to directly contact high school juniors. This weekend’s visit to Starkville was arranged, and it didn’t take long for Thornton to latch onto that #20 maroon jersey.
“Mississippi State is my top choice because I love the culture and atmosphere,” Wesley said. “The more I go to Starkville the more I see how everyone treats each other as family. I was actually interested in Mississippi State before they started finding interest in me – but since then they have been to every single tournament game I can think of, and that really means a lot to me.”
It certainly didn’t hurt that Wesley – the daughter of Whitney and Ben Thornton – has been part of a community her whole life that exemplifies small town values, even though she’s also had a fierce desire to face the best competition available in her softball pursuits.
“I love the MSU campus and how Starkville is still a small town,” Wesley said. “They (the Lady Dawgs) have always been known as the underdogs in the Southeastern Conference, and that’s something I can take pride in, to play my heart out there, and get to prove everyone else wrong.”
See? A Bulldog. Definitely.
Wesley’s mother Whitney – who is the Director of School Nutrition for the Crockett County School District – said that she and husband Ben began seeing things early on that made them aware that Wesley might be athletically inclined.
“When Wes was really young – even just starting to walk – we always noticed she had incredible balance,” Whitney said. “She very rarely fell down. But one particular time in the yard, when Wes was maybe three years old, she had a plastic whiffle ball bat. Not the skinny one, the big red one. And I was only like five feet from her and tossed the plastic ball underhanded – literally trying to hit the bat. She swung and smoked that ball right back into my forehead!”
A literal first impression.
“Other than that, she’s just always been naturally gifted at sports,” Whitney said, “and very early on she told us she was going to play on TV one day.”
By her own recollection, Wesley said it did really begin to click for her while she was still very young.
“I think when I realized softball was going to be my sport was probably in elementary school,” she said. “I have played my whole life. I remember one time when I was little my Dad asked if I wanted to play college softball, and of course I said, ‘Yes! I want to play in the SEC!’ He said, ‘Well, that’s a big goal to have and I will be with you, and help you until we make it happen.’ He most definitely kept his word on that one.
“I couldn’t have done it without my Dad, and I am very appreciative towards him. I wouldn’t say there was any particular team I was on when I realized this is what I wanted to do; I feel like I have been playing softball for over ten years and still love every minute of it. It just kind of happened.”
Wesley, who had already established herself prominently in national prospect ratings, is also thankful that her Mom has never shied away from the behind-the-scenes stuff that travel ball demands.
“I am very grateful towards my Mom,” she said. “Even though she doesn’t directly help me practice, she helps with so much more. Like booking hotels, making sure everyone has what they need for the week or weekend. She makes sure we get where we need to on time. And much more!
“There is so much more to playing travel softball than just getting on the field and playing, and people don’t realize this. My Mom doesn’t get much credit when it comes to my performance, but I wouldn’t have even gotten to play without my Mom. She’s always there to support me and that means so much.”
Wesley’s accomplishments have also been helped by the fact that she continues to play one other high school sport – volleyball -- and has also been prominent on Crockett's basketball squad, going against the specialization road that so many parents chase. It’s not like she’s just been ON those teams, either: she’s already earned post-season awards in both.
“In my opinion you should play as many sports as you want,” she said. “I think playing three sports has helped improve my athletic ability in so many ways, because each sport uses different muscles. So all in all it makes you stronger all together.”
It is, however, clearly softball in which Wesley’s play has gained the most notice. This past spring, she led CCHS to a third-place finish in the TSSAA State Tournament and a 34-10-1 record, batting .528 and getting on base a staggering 64% of the time. Wes topped Coach Baron Jimmerson’s Lady Cavaliers with 18 doubles, five triples, and 12 home runs, and was also first in runs scored (68), hits (56), total bases (121), and slugging percentage (1.142), on her way to accumulating a mind-blowing OPS (on-base % + slugging) of 1.777. In that latter category, if you’re around .900, you’re among the elite players in the game. She also stole 22 bases.
She also hit .520 with 15 home runs this past summer playing for the travel team of Athletics Gold Tamborra/Vallery, which won the co-championship of the rain-plagued prestigious Atlanta Legacy Invitational Tournament. Wesley will play for Georgia Impact from this point forward in travel ball.
“From travel ball I have been to many new cities and states, from practicing in Atlanta to playing in Colorado, and then on to play nationals in Indianapolis,” she said. “It has improved my game all around offensively and defensively. We have played the top teams in the country; everyone we play is college athlete-ready. Especially my teammates, who have contributed a lot into making me a better player.
“We all have the same end goal, which means we push each other to be our best selves every time we’re together. I would say the biggest thing that has developed me is the elite pitching we face. It has made me a much better hitter.”
Thornton follows former Lady Cav shortstop Piper White as a Southeastern Conference signee. White has transferred to Florida Atlantic University after her freshman season at Texas A&M.
It should also assist Wesley’s SEC potential that she will be coached by Ricketts, a supremely accomplished player herself when she attended the University of Oklahoma. When her playing career ended in 2009, she’d been a two-time All-American and was the all-time Big 12 Conference leader in career RBIs, and the Sooner pacesetter in career home runs.
Wesley is currently one of the top hitters on Crockett’s volleyball team, which has been to the State Tournament in each of her first two years. She’s also been a valuable member of the basketball team in the winter as a versatile point guard who can also score inside, although she won't be playing this season in order to better prepare for the upcoming softball campaign.
And then it’ll be softball season again. And in a couple of years, StarkVegas will have a new showgirl of the most positive kind.

Line of Scrimmage Dominance Boosts Lexington Past Crockett Footballers 33-21
By Ron Barry

“If you can’t control the line of scrimmage,” said Crockett County head football coach Kevin Ward, “you’re not going to win many football games, especially against good teams.”
Ward pretty much summarized Friday night’s 33-21 defeat by Lexington, in a contest in which the visitors ran off 64 plays to Crockett’s 28, outgained the Cavaliers 337 yards to 182, and totally controlled line play throughout the second half after being handed a gift touchdown right before the intermission that turned the game around.
At that time, Ward’s club had rolled to a 21-14 lead with 5:17 remaining before the half after Ben Burgess carried in a keeper from three yards out and Noah Mayfield added the extra point. Crockett then made a key defensive stand after Lexington had reached the Cav 24.
Jacob Howard made a huge third-down tackle for a Tiger loss, and a fourth-down pass was dropped, returning possession to the Cavs with 1:34 to go. Trying to take advantage of the remaining time – Lexington had not done a good job of stopping Crockett’s offense yet – quarterback Burgess tried to throw a quick out to flanker Titus Luten, but tossed the ball several yards over Luten’s head and right into the arms of Tiger defensive back Elye Pearson, who returned it to the Cav 17.
Lexington scored on a trick play as quarterback Ross Wilson handed off to halfback Redding Wilson for what looked like a sweep of right end, but the runner pulled up and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Pearson to bring the Tigers within a point. Even though the extra point was then missed, what should have been a one-touchdown lead for the hosts was now gone, and Lexington had the momentum going into the locker room.
“I told our guys at halftime that all I expected of them was to give their best effort on every single play,” Ward said. “When you add up the seconds that the ball is actually in play during a game, it really doesn’t amount to much more than a handful of minutes. So everybody ought to be able to play hard on every play. That’s character, and I’m a believer that character wins ballgames. But that’s what concerns me most tonight, because I didn’t our guys showed that enough in the second half.”
Ward saw the tide turn on the opening drive of the third quarter, when Lexington orchestrated a 65-yard drive in a pedestrian 15 plays, almost all of them on straight up-the-middle rushes by four different backs. Levi Wilkinson covered the final three yards of the march that took almost eight full minutes off the clock.
“They totally whipped us across the front line,” Ward said. “We’ve got to do a better job in that area if we want to be a better football team.”
Before Crockett could even reset after the long drive, Lexington pulled off a simple onside kick straight down the middle of the field and recovered the ball as soon as it had gone the requisite 10 yards. And while Crockett managed to hold the Tigers on this series – thanks to a fourth-down tackle of Ross Wilson by the Cavs’ Khalan Thomas – the visitors soon got the ball back at their own 30 and then managed a 70-yard scoring journey in 10 plays, with workhorse back Brady McEarl accounting for most of the yardage until Wilson finished it off with a fourth-down play-action keeper around left end for 29 yards. That came with 6:10 remaining and accounted for the game’s final score.
While Ward acknowledge the line of scrimmage dominance by Lexington was the main difference in the contest, he lamented a few other things that could have turned the game in the Cavs’ favor.
“We didn’t recover any of the three fumbles they made that we had shots at; we had that bad interception right before the half; and the failure to get on top of the onside kick was a killer,” he said. “Lexington’s a good football team, but we’ve got to make plays when we have opportunities like that.”
Bright spots for Crockett were a 62-yard touchdown run by DK Woods midway through the first quarter and then an 82-yard scoring gallop by track speedster Titus Luten on Lexington’s kickoff that followed its answering tally to Woods’ run.
But this matchup was decided at the line of scrimmage and by the tireless second-half legs of McEarl, who defied the evening’s intense heat by carrying 17 times for 61 yards in the final half alone while six or seven Crockett players were routinely trying to work out leg cramps on the sidelines.
The loss was the first of the season for Crockett was a Region 7 defeat as well. The Cavs will try to bounce back next Friday night against Dyer County on the road in Newbern. The Choctaws dropped a 31-28 decision to Hardin County last night.
