'Tiny Tori' recognized for soccer excellence
|
|
Tori Dillard, who was named most valuable player of the 14th District Girls Soccer Tournament and helped the Bowling Green Lady Purples beat Greenwood 2-0 for the regional championship on the Logan County soccer field, is the subject of a sports feature in the Sunday edition of the Bowling Green Daily News. Dillard was born three months premature and weighed just 1 pound, 13 ounces, the second smallest baby ever born at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Now Dillard, who is also one of the top softball players in the region, is headed to Centre College, where she will play NCAA soccer. She is the daughter of Russellville High School graduate Shelly Smith Dillard and her husband Bob. She is the granddaughter of Shelby and Beverly Piper of Logan County and Lewisburg High graduate Charles Smith of Manchester, Tenn. She is the first cousin of Chanler Steenbergen, who was one of Logan County's best volleyball players this year as a freshman, and of Aeron Smith, one of the top young softball catchers in the nation at Greenwood High.

Scoring 46 points in the first half, the Russellville Panthers blitzed Fulton City Saturday in a renewal of the Tobacco Bowl 60-0. A Barrett Croslin touchdown pass with no time showing on the clock and Corey Wright's extra point assured a shortened game with a running clock in the second half. Croslin kept throwing passes within the reach of basketball jumpers Zach Hines, Coco Darden & Josh Hampton for scores. Hines, Croslin, Desmon Quales & Demarcus Hampton all ran well. Dequan Beard blocked a punt, fielded it on one bounce, and took it to the end zone for a score. Zach Henley ran for a touchdown with Darden quarterbacking the second half. Fulton had only 17 players in uniform. The Panthers have now scored 125 points against the two teams from Futlon County. Before the afternoon game began, Lindsey Hutchison was named homecoming queen and Anthony Tisdale homecoming king. Principal Kim McDaniel says, "They both represent their student body very well by being respectful and academically and athletically-focused students of Russellville Jr./Sr. High School."
