LOWERY AND BEHOLD

/in /by

A transfer student in 8th grade, Jordan Lowery has come a long way in his development.  First from the standpoint of patience for his turn, and secondly to be able to capture the moment when the spotlight is on him.

Make no mistake about it- Jordan didn’t miss his moment.

In fact, Jordan has created several moments this season from a leadership perspective that he may not be able to yet understand the ripple he’s created for his underclass teammates.  Lowery is the keynote example of a young man who does what is asked-and beyond.  Going the extra mile because it’s not a crowded road is the belief of South Range’s #58.

We had the chance to sit down with him this week and discuss all things from football to the future.  This week’s South Range Player Profile is: LOWERY AND BEHOLD

IT’S GOOD TO HAVE DAV’

/in /by

For South Range Senior, Ryan Davenport, he’s been known best for the last 2 years for being a defensive run stopper as a defensive end, and making incredible plays on offense when called upon.  He’s become accustomed to hearing “Who’s 45?” because he’s been surrounded by such talent during the course of his high school career.  No worries, though.

Davenport has been making a name for himself under the radar.  As of this writing, Davenport is the leading receiver on the Raiders midway through the 2018 season, and given the names in the receiving corps, that’s not just any random accolade.  That’s quite the accomplishment.

Make no mistake about it, “Dav” enjoys flying underneath the radar, but sees it as a personal challenge to chisel his name into the South Range archives, and his season is bigger, stronger, faster, and better than ever before.

This week we focus on South Range’s not-so-secret weapon, their defensive end, and Y-guy, Ryan Davenport in: IT’S GOOD TO HAVE DAV

HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!

/in /by

What happens when you blend a truck-loving, hunting, hard-working, country boy with great hands and incredible speed with a high-powered offense and a shutdown defense?

You get South Range Senior- Josh Stear.

While he’s quiet in his demeanor, Stear leads by example on the field.  He’s the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line, and when you see 20 on the field, don’t blink.  If you do, he’s going to beat you for six points without a doubt.

Coming off a great rivalry game against the Rebels last Friday, Josh Stear sits down with DJ Yokley to talk business (he wants to open his own) and pleasure in this week’s South Range Player Profile: HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!

MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY

/in /by

The old Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme reads:

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary.  How does your garden grow?  With silver bells and cockleshells, and pretty maids all in a row.”

While we don’t know much about cockleshells, or maids in a row, we do know that if South Range needed a new garden…Senior Mary Kuhns would be the one digging it.  Kuhns is the super setter, and defensive standout for the Lady Raiders this year.  She’s already had numerous (possibly record-breaking) performances that have wowed those in attendance.

So what’s her secret?  What does she want to do after college?
