Nolensville closes Little League World Series with loss, cherishes journey
Local boys finish No. 4 in the world in repeat trip to the Series 
By Charles Pulliam • Sports Editor
WILLIAMSPORT, Pennsylvania – Nearly the entire month of August, the Nolensville Little League baseball team, coaches and most of the 13 families have been on the road, embracing and cherishing the “journey of a lifetime” to the final day of the Little League World Series.
Williamson County’s own wasn’t playing in the championship later in the day, and they dropped their final game Sunday at Lamade Stadium – falling 2-0 against Taiwan in the Series consolation game – but the local boys still closed No. 4 in the world.
“It’s absolutely magic,” Nolensville coach Randy Huth said.

Football: Page pushes past Franklin in confidence-builder for both teams
By Joe Williams • Sports Writer
RUDDERVILLE – The scoreboard showed the Page High School football team claiming a 28-17 win Friday night over Franklin.
What it did not show was that for the Admirals, there were pieces of the game where they were winners.
The home-standing and defending Class 5A runners-up were shocked early as Franklin drew first blood when Cooper Jordan torched a 54-yard breakaway run late in the first quarter. The two teams went into the locker room tied at 14 after Brewer Wilson found Mena Mannan on a 46-yard touchdown pass.

Whether he’s standing in the pocket or standing up to the challenge of su ddenly being a high-profile player, MacIntyre doesn’t appear to get rattled by anything that comes at him.
His poise was on display Friday night when he helped lead the Eagles to a 28-17 victory over Christ Presbyterian Academy in a rare matchup of the tradition-rich programs played before a massive crowd on the BA campus.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An autopsy report in the death of country singer Naomi Judd that was obtained Friday by The Associated Press confirmed what family members have already said about how she died. Judd, 76, killed herself with a gun on April 30 at her home in Tennessee.
