BIG STONE GAP— The Union Bears set thetone early and made theplay of their seasonSaturday to advance to theVirginia High SchoolLeague’s Group 2A statefootball semifinals.

After jumping out to a21-7 halftime lead, theBears (13-0) withstood astrong challenge GlenvarHighlanders (12-1) in thesecond half to take a dra-matic 28-27 win over thedefending 2A state champi-ons in the 2A WestRegional semifinal game atBullitt Park.

With the win, Union hasadvanced to its deepestpoint in the postseason inthe history of the five-yearprogram. The Bears will

travel to Berryville to faceClarke County (12-1) at1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The win for the Bearswas not secured until thefinal minute when quarter-back Bryce Spears connect-ed across the middle on apass to Raashaun Noaks togive Union a first downwith 58 seconds left in thecontest.

The win came afterGlenvar scored on a 1-yardtouchdown run from DarylManns with 1:50 to play inthe contest to cut the Unionlead to 28-27. TheHighlanders opted to go forthe win and a two-pointconversion attempt. A runby quarterback ZackClifford came up shortwhen Hunter Dickensonstopped him about a yardshort of the goal line.

“We said in the huddle

that we just had to step upand make a big play,” saiddefensive leader JamesMitchell. “We didn’t wantto go home. We didn’t wantthis to be the end of our sea-son. Hunter Dickenson juststepped up and made agreat tackle. “I’m just gladwe’re still playing.”

Mitchell stepped upagainst Glenvar’s offensethroughout the game withseveral tackles.

“When I’m not playing abig role on offense I like tomake some plays and stepup my game on defense orspecial teams or whatever.Raashaun and Jay (Gavin)made some big plays onoffense. I just tried to domy damage defensively.”

Union started doingdamage early when Spearsbroke loose for a 65-yardtouchdown run on the first

possession of the game toput the Bears up 6-0.

The Bears went ahead14-0 with 4:22 left in theopening quarter with a 38-yard touchdown pass playfrom Spears to Noaks.

The scores on the firsttwo Union possessions ofthe game left Glenvar reel-ing. The Highlanderdefense recorded fiveshutouts in its 10 regularseason games and gave upan average of five pointsper game.

“We wanted the ball tostart the game and we want-ed to come out and wewanted to lay a lick and setthe tone,” Spears said. “Wewere tired of hearing abouthow great their defensewas.”

Spears said having somany talented players onoffense makes his job easi-

er at the quarterback posi-tion.

“You can’t double-covereverybody,” the senior said.“You can throw the ball twoyards and they’ll take it 60.And the linemen do a greatjob protecting and I just getthe ball to them and they dotheir thing.”

The touchdown run bySpears on the first drivewas the best thing theBears’ offense could haveasked for, Union coachTravis Turner said.

“I think we came out onthat first drive and set thetone,” Tuner said. “Thatwas a great run by BryceSpears. He broke a coupleof tackles and got a coupleof blocks from the widereceivers and just did whathe had to do.”

After Glenvar cut thelead to 14-7 with on a 7-

yard run Manns, Unioncame right back to increaseits lead to 21-7 with a 2-yard TD carry fromCameron Fannon to cap a56-yard drive with 6:45 toplay in the second quarter.

Manns added anothertouchdown run on the firstdrive of the second half, butUnion responded againwith a 66-yard scoringdrive, capped by a 5-yardrun from Braxton Bishop.

In the fourth quarter,Glenvar’s Clifford connect-ed with Elliott Stigall for a28-yard touchdown passplay to cut the lead to 28-21with 10:32 left in the game.

Glenvar then stopped aUnion drive and marched85 yards in less than fourminutes to score again. Butthe Bears defense stoppedthe crucial conversionattempt to preserve the win.

NORTON —  The GalaxMaroon Tide made the big playsand the routine plays in Saturday’s35-12 Group 1A West playoffgame against the J.I. BurtonRaiders at Lawson-FitchkoStadium.

“Things kind of went our waytoday,” said Galax head coachMark Dixon. “We’ve been up herea lot and lost. I think it was justour day. I know he (J.I. Burtonhead coach Jim Adams) does agreat job and has a heck of a pro-gram. Things just went our waytoday and we’re just thankful andfortunate to move on.”

Coach Adams said that for thefirst time this season, an opponentwas able to get to his team in the

trenches.“We got beat on the line of

scrimmage and they really hurt us.We hadn’t had that happen to us,”Adams said. “Our program is toosuccessful to try to have moralvictories. We’re about winning thegame.”

Galax held the Burton groundgame to a total of 59 yards on 25carries.

Galax had two players outrushthe Burton offense — CharlesHarris had 85 on 15 carries andDougie Peoples had 83 yards on15 carries.

“They’re well-coached. Theywere well-prepared. They didn’tdo anything that surprised us. Wejust had a hard time stopping themand we had a hard time movingthe ball on them,” Adams said.

The Raiders had the lead early

on a 1-yard touchdown by IsaacDavis with 4:27 left in the firstquarter.

But the Maroon Tide thenscored the next 35 points.

With 6:26 left in the first half,Peoples’ 8-yard touchdown runcapped a 12-play drive that took5:20 off the clock. The extra pointkick gave Galax a 7-6 lead.

The Maroon Tide defensestepped up during the Raiders nextpossession. Facing third-and-15 attheir 24, Raider quarterback TraAdams was intercepted byGalax’s Isaiah Brown.

A penalty nullified what wouldhave been another touchdown.But two plays later, quarterbackCarson Orton found Caleb Spurlinfor the 16-yard score and a 14-6lead.

The Raiders were moving the

ball as time wound down in thefirst half and had the ball on theGalax 36. On their last play of thehalf, the Raiders tried the hookand lateral. But the pitch was fum-bled and Spurlin picked it up atthe 35, taking it 65 yards for theGalax score.

“I thought the hook and lateralgoing into halftime was huge. It’sa whole different game if we go inand it’s 14-6. That really switchedmomentum,” Dixon said.

On their second possession ofthe third quarter, the Raiders werebacked up inside their 10. Withthird-and-9, Adams connectedwith Isaac Perrigan for a 63-yardcompletion.

But the Galax defense forced afumble and recovered the ball atthe 25 to stop the drive.

Five minutes later, with less

than two minutes left in the third,the Maroon Tide defense was at itagain. Jacob Brown intercepted anAdams pass at the Burton 48 andreturned it to the 22.

On the first play of the fourthquarter, Peoples took the ball infrom the 2 for a 28-6 lead.

Blake Brown scored Galax’sfinal points on a 4-yard run with8:34 to play.

The Raiders had one last bigplay in their arsenal. With 6:20 toplay, Adams and Perrigan con-nected for a 60-yard touchdownpass.

“I just can’t believe I calledthat defense there at the end whenthey got that touchdown. Worstcall in the history of mankind,”Dixon said.

Galax recovered the ensuingonside kick and ran out the clock.

BY BRYAN WALLACE

When I was a youngster growing up, I cameto realize that to accomplish anything, you hadto figure out the details of what you were tryingto do and kind of develop a plan and set a goalin order to be successful at the things you’re try-ing to get done. Both knowledge and a plan arenecessary to succeed. Maybe you have cometo that conclusion too.

Then as I grew older, I realized that I need-ed a plan for living that I might be successful inthat too, but I could not quite figure out the for-mula for success, or so I thought. What I havecome to realize, after many years, is that suc-cess in life begins and ends in Jesus Christ. Ifyou have not figured that out yet, I hope thatyou will. Jesus tells us, “For what is a man prof-ited, if he shall gain the whole world, and losehis own soul?” (Matt 16:26)

Our main goal in life must be to save ourown soul. Anything else is failure and totallyunacceptable. Unacceptable because the planhas already been made and delivered to us byGod through the Bible. Unacceptable becauseJesus has demonstrated, in the most dramaticterms imaginable, how much He cares for usand how much He wants us to succeed in thisthe greatest of all enterprises.

Jesus Christ must, and I cannot emphasizethis strongly enough, He must really want us tomake it to heaven and have eternal life.Consider this person we call Jesus and whatHe has done for us. He was in the beginningwith God, He was God, and the Father throughJesus created everything that was created, theheavens and the earth and us too (John 1).

Jesus even now watches over us and holds thisworld in store for His final coming (2 Pet 3:7).For these accomplishments alone, we oweJesus our very existence but our debt to Himdoes not end there. Jesus, who had everything,was willing to give it up, to leave heaven and beborn as a man. Who would be willing to do that?I cannot imagine it. Yet He was willing to do farmore. For 33 years He lived as a poor servantof humanity and not as their creator. His lastthree years here, He had no certain place tocall home. He taught the way to eternal life, suf-fering rejection by the very people He loved andcared about the most, the Jews. And eventhough He had no fault in Him, no sin, Heallowed Himself to be nailed to a tree and suf-fer a slow torturous death so we might be for-given of our wrong doing. How much doesJesus care for us? He has demonstrated justhow much He cares. I cannot imagine any actthat He might have done which would haveshown His love and concern for us any morethan what He has done.

Where does this leave those who have noappreciation for this man we call Jesus. As itstands, they are failures, doomed to the eternalfires of hell and reasonably so. Jesus has madeevery possible effort to save us from our ownfailure and even beyond what is reasonable.Jesus said “Learn of me; for I am meek andlowly in heart and you shall find rest unto yoursouls” (Matt 11:29). I urge you, behold the Man,He is our success. All else is failure.

Kennedy served as the foundation’spresident from 2001 until 2005 and wasalso Wellmont Health System’s seniorvice president of institutional advance-ment. Still hanging on a wall in the foun-dation office are framed articles about hisinvolvement in Melungeon history and hisheritage with that group.

“Everyone at Wellmont remembersBrent fondly from his tenure with us andappreciates all his efforts to advance healthcare in our region,” said Todd Norris, thefoundation’s president, who also serves asWellmont’s senior vice president for sys-tem advancement. “At the same time, wewitnessed his passion for Melungeon his-tory and appreciated his work to share thatrich story with everyone in our region. Weare pleased to support this scholarship andhope recipients will come to love and pro-mote history as strongly as Brent does.”

AUXILIARYThis gift will go to scholarships for stu-

dents in need who are pursuing a medicalcareer.

“UVa-Wise is an outstanding collegethat has produced exceptional graduateswho are making a difference in our com-

munity and throughout Southwest Virginiaand Northeast Tennessee,” said PatBowden, the auxiliary’s treasurer. “We arepleased to help local college students withthe expenses associated with their studiesand look forward to seeing their contribu-tions to the workforce once they earn theirdegrees.”

Applicants who live in Big Stone Gapand Appalachia will receive primary con-sideration for the scholarships. The nextgroup of applicants who will potentiallyreceive a scholarship would live in Wiseand Lee counties.

Chancellor Henry said the scholarshipswill help more of the university’s studentsachieve their goal of receiving a degree.

“The value of a college degree in fur-thering a person’s opportunities for a suc-cessful professional career cannot be over-stated,” Henry said. “Attending college isnot cheap, though, so we continue to havea need for additional scholarship dollars.We are grateful for this auxiliary and therest of the community, whose support forUVa-Wise has helped elevate the caliber ofour programs.”

Bowden said the money was raised inmany ways, such as gift shop sales, jewel-ry shows, book sales and bake sales. Themoney was placed in a certificate ofdeposit, which recently matured, leadingthe auxiliary to consider the best long-termuse for the funds.

Students developsolar energy system

Mountain Empire Community College has announcedthe creation of the first mobile solar-powered energy sys-tem in Southwest Virginia, developed by students toshowcase solar-powered energy systems and relatedindustrial technology degree programs offered at MECC.

The SPARC-E (Solar-Powered Alternative RenewableClean Energy) unit utilizes an off-the-grid solar powersystem, similar to technologies found in home units or atpublic events. The station includes 12 solar modules thatare capable of producing approximately 5,000 watts ofpower. A battery storage unit is used to store the energyproduced by the solar array. A back-up generator is alsoavailable to supply additional energy when needed. Inaddition, SPARC-E can be used as a direct power supplyfor any power grid.

SPARC-E serves as an energy provider to communityevents and potential emergency response assistance. Inthe fall of 2015, SPARC-E supplied power to two majorevents at MECC: the Home Craft Days Festival and theHaunted Forest attraction.

“The goal of the project was to provide experientiallearning opportunities to students in industrial technologyprograms, while also developing a recruitment and edu-cational tool for industrial technology and advanced man-ufacturing programs,” said Tommy Clements, dean ofhealth sciences and instruction technology. “MECC’swelding, industrial electronics, manufacturing, and ener-gy technology students were involved in the design, con-struction and implementation of SPARC-E, providing ahands-on experience that builds on the knowledge stu-dents attain in the classroom.”

Spectators can walk inside the SPARC-E unit to viewthe unit’s DC/AC power  inverters, capable of providing9,000 watts of AC power. The unit features a computer-ized solar-energy control system, as well as MECC’smobile virtual welder. The solar energy control systemand the mobile virtual welder are utilized as recruitmentand educational tools during on-campus events, as well asoff-campus activities such as school career fairs.

The development of the SPARC-E unit provided prob-lem-based learning opportunities for students across dis-ciplines, allowing students to apply real-world engineer-ing solutions with marketable applications.

PASTOR’S CORNERBY CLIFTON D. CAUTHORNE JR.CALVARY BAPTIST OF CLINTWOOD

The thickest newspapers arrive right beforeThanksgiving.  They contain sales papers for BlackFriday.  In fact, they even have sales papers forThanksgiving Day.

It is ironic that the opposite of thankfulness is cov-etousness.  Quite purposefully, the devil seems to beeroding a day dedicated to thankfulness with its arch-enemy covetousness.

According to Easton’s Bible Dictionary, covetous-ness means “a strong desire after the possession ofworldly things.” Instead of being thankful to God forwhat he has, a covetous person wants more.

Jesus warns in Luke 12:15, “Beware of covetous-ness: for a man’s life consisteth not inthe abundance of the things which hepossesseth.”  Our holiday emphasisought to be thanking God for what hehas given us, not longing after what hehas not seen fit to give.

How bad is covetousness? The Bibleteaches in First Corinthians 6:10 andEphesians 5:5 that people whose livesare characterized by covetousness willnot inherit the kingdom ofGod.  Colossians 3:5 equates covetous-ness with the sin of idolatry.

This time of year, we ought to con-sider Hebrews 13:5, “Let your conver-sation be without covetousness; and becontent with such things as ye have: forhe hath said, ‘I will never leave thee,

nor forsake thee.’”Was your Thanksgiving all-you-can-eat feast, or

was it a time to thank God for his presence and hisblessings? Is your Christmas shaping up to be a cele-bration of American prosperity with its various tradi-tions, or a celebration of the Christ who came to saveus from our sins?

Covetousness and thankfulness continually fightfor our souls. Which one is winning in your life? FirstThessalonians 5:18 commands, “In everything givethanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus con-cerning you.”

As we anticipate Christmas, let us pray with hymnwriter Charles Wesley,

Come, thou universal blessing,

Abraham’s long expected seed;Perfect peace and joy unceasingThro’ the ransomed nations spread:Devilish pride, and brutal passion,Far from every heart remove;Bless us with thy full salvation,Bless us with thy heavenly love.

Happy is the man forgiven,This let every sinner feel;Taste in thee his present heaven,Pant for greater blessings still;O that all anew created,Might thine image here retrieve;Then to paradise translated.In thy glorious presence live!
