By Charles Pulliam • Sports Editor
FRANKLIN – Makayla Cox fielded a fly ball in left field and launched an absolute rocket toward home plate Sunday. Catcher Sarah McLeod made the tag and the Centennial High School softball team clinched its first district title since 2004 as the Cougars fended off top-seeded Brentwood 2-1 in the District 11-4A final despite the Bruins loading the bases in the bottom of the seventh – twice.
“We knew it was going to come down to the wire,” said Cox, one of seven seniors for Centennial. “They all have against them, but we knew we could do this. We just knew it.”

Three moms on staff at Brentwood United Methodist feel blessed by dual roles of mothering
| |
By Jodi Rall • Staff Writer
Within the United Methodist Church leaders, teachers, missionaries and organizers, it is women who have shaped the history of Methodism. Women are leading and serving their communities and initiating important social and political reform.
Clergywomen have been part of Methodism since John Wesley licensed Sarah Crosby to preach in 1761. Although women were ordained in the Methodist tradition as early as the late 1800s, it was the May 4, 1956, general conference vote for full clergy rights that forever changed the face of ordained clergy.
